Disclaimer: Nothing of Criminal Minds is mine. I do not own anything but one season. Though I'm proud to announce that I have seen every single Criminal Minds Episode EVER WRITEN.
PS-sorry this took so long. Friday night I had the CCS Relay for Life which is twelve hours long; 7pm-7am. I did not have any time to write. Staying up all night walking around the community track is actually more fun than it sounds! BTW-it might suck, since I am still tired.

Aaron Hotchner was sitting in his office doing paperwork when someone knocked at his door.
"Come in."
JJ walked up to him, closing the door behind her.
"You wanted to talk to me."
"Ya, um," she hesitated. "We still haven't talked to Reid's parents, and, well, I was wondering if you would like me to do it."
Hotch thought about it. No, no one had contacted his parents. The whole team had to think about their own ties with Reid.
"Okay. Go tell Rossi to go talk to William Reid. He would be more comfortable with Rossi as they have already met." Hotch explained.
"And JJ," Hotch called as she was getting up. "Make sure you have some strong orderlies with you. A schizophrenic mother who's just lost her only son will most likely become extremely violent." JJ nodded and left the room, thinking about Henry just as Hotch was thinking about Jack and Haley. He had gone ballistic when he found Foyet, and could only imagine what Haley would have done to protect Jack.
…
"Hey, Rossi." JJ walked into the open door of his office. "Hotch told me to get you to talk to William Reid."
"Okay. We better get a move on if we're going to Los Vegas. Are we taking the jet or are we going commercial?" he asked.
"Commercial. Garcia's already booked our flight. I've called the hospital. Fortunately, Diana is having a good day, though I hate to ruin it for her." JJ grabbed her coat and go-bag and quickly headed towards the elevators with Rossi at her heels.
…
Rossi and JJ were in a black, Government Issue SUV. Rossi was driving, weaving around the rush-hour traffic.
"So who are visiting first?" Rossi asked.
"Well, you are going to see Mr. Reid while I go see Diana." JJ looked straight ahead, knowing there was about to be a lecture coming soon.
"JJ! You can't just go and tell Reid's mother about…"-JJ flinched-"…what happed! Not without her getting exceedingly aggressive. She'll be willing to point the finger at anyone who will tell her that."
"Rossi, it's okay. I talked to Hotch about it, and all I need are some strong orderlies with me and I'll be fine."
Rossi kept driving, but couldn't help but feel sorry for all the people who they were going to be accompanying for the next few hours.
….
Rossi walked into the lawyers' office building, walking up to the receptionist and showing his badge while asking for William Reid.
"I'll get him. I think that he's just doing paperwork. May I ask what you need from him?"
"It concerns his son."
…
JJ was looking in to Bennington Sanitarium, feeling incredibly nervous. No matter how many times she had told Rossi-which was many, he kept asking her if she wanted to talk to Mr. Reid the whole way from the airport to the sanitarium-she still didn't like it. But she knew that Diana would be more comfortable with someone she knew, as would William.
….
Wa-what do you mean he's dead? He-he can't be dead! Can he?" Mr. Reid was sitting in his office at his desk, across from David Rossi, who had explained the circumstances and how he died. He looked absolutely ragged.
"I'm sorry for your loss." Rossi said automatically.
"My loss? From what I saw, you and the other guy that came with Spencer the last time you were here seemed pretty close to him, so don't feed me that crap!'' Yelling, Reid's dad suddenly stood up. "I can't believe this." He started pacing.
All of a sudden, he stopped, looked at Rossi, and seemed to pale slightly. "Have you told Diana yet? She-she…she could get murderous."
"My colleague is already there with her. She has orders to have some male nurses with her to incapacitate Mrs. Reid if the need arises."
"Okay, okay." He sat down again. "Oh, Spencer. Spencer, Spencer, Spencer…"
….
"Mrs. Reid, Sp-Spencer has been killed." JJ finally got the words out and waited for the outbreak of fierce anger that was sure to come.
But nothing happened. She just looked through her.
"He was in his apartment when someone slashed his throat. He most likely had quick death. The results of the autopsy haven't come back yet. I'm sorry for your loss."
That's when Diana Reid attacked.

Thanks for reading. Reviews are greatly appreciated! Sorry for the wait and maybe I can get another chapter up a lot quicker!
