Spencer grabbed his bag and got off the plane when his phone rang. He had just turned it on, who could be calling.

"Reid?"

"What the hell is your problem?"

Spencer was shocked. "Garcia?"

"Yes, Mr. Thinks holier than thou. You know who called me last night?"

"...No."

"Elle Greenaway and she told me that you kicked her out of your office?"

"She was..."

"I don't care. Then I see JJ today and she's looking awful. I ask her whats wrong and she tells me that Will is staying in a hotel for a while. When I asked why, do you know what she said?"

"...Garcia, I just -"

"Shh, I didn't tell you to speak, Mister. She said that I should ask you. What did you do and where is my sweet little genius?"

"Garcia, I don't have time for..."

"Well you make time, because I'm about to send Derek down there and kick your ass, Spencer."

Spencer got into a car with Ryan and Elle before sighing. "What do you want to talk about, Garcia."

"What's going on with you, Junior."

"What do you mean."

"You've never been like this. You kicked Elle our of your office?"

"She was..."

"There's no right for you to do that. She was trying to help you. The Spencer I knew was never.."

"The Spencer you knew got walked all over. I have to be the boss now, Garcia. I can't..."

"Spencer... You can still be you and be the boss."

He sighed. "Garcia, Can we talk later?"

"JJ told us about the meth use, Spencer. Please tell me that you're not..."

"I'm not. I got.. caught up in a moment and... I don't know, Penelope."

Garcia sighed. "You know if you need anything, I will be there in a second, right, Spencer?"

"I do."

"Please don't lose yourself. You're a great man. You can be a great boss too, you just got to stop stressing out."

"How can I stop stressing when..." He paused, looking at the women in the car with him. He shouldn't be having this conversation right now.

"When what?"

"You need to talk to JJ."

"What happened with you two when she visited, Spencer? She's been acting so strange. And now Will's in a hotel. Did you two bump uglies?"

"bump uglies?" Spencer repeated, confused.

Ryan turned back from the driver's seat. "Did you just say 'bump uglies'?

"have sex, Spencer. Did you and JJ have sex?"

"We... You should really be talking to JJ about this, Garcia."

"Oh my god, Spencer Reid. You... you didn't! She's with Will and... what did Vegas do to you? You're from there! You're not supposed to succumb to it's lusty reputation."

Spencer sighed. He looked out the window. "We're at the police station. Talk to JJ and then we'll talk again. It's not place to tell her business." He said, before hanging up and getting out.

"You say that now." Elle muttered, getting out of the car as well.

"Why don't you mind your own business too, Elle."

Elle turned around and glared at him.

"You are my business Spencer Reid. I might have not been your team mate for as long as Derek Morgan or JJ, but we have always been friends. You saved my life. You came to ME when you got addicted to Dilaudid. When Gideon left, you called ME. Don't act like because you're my boss now that it changes anything. You are still like my little brother and when you're acting crazy, I'm going to call you out on it. And you're acting like you have no sense. Having sex with JJ was a mistake and you should know it. She was your coworker and your best friend! She was with Will and yet, you still let it get physical. Now I know that's not all your fault. You were in love with her and you wanted to be with her, but seriously Reid. It's time to grow up and realize that this is the real world. Your actions have consequences. What did you think was going to happen? She'd leave Will once she told you Henry was yours? That that fact would change anything? She's probably known all along, how could she not? She's with Will and she's not leaving him. Henry may be your biological son, but he has two loving capable parents that will do everything for him. You need to stop trying to destroy her life and his because you want to be selfish."

"He has a right to be a part of -" Ryan started, but was cut off.

"Stop." Spencer said loudly, causing Elle and Ryan to look at him. "We are here to do a case. There will be no more discussion of personal issues until we are back on the plane on the way home. I do not care what is going on with me and you, Elle. The case is the first priority. And where your help, Ryan, is appreciated, it is not needed or helpful at this moment. Now we are going to go into the department and act professionally. Do we all understand?" Spencer said, looking at the two women before at the other members of the group.

Elle sighed. Had he heard anything she said? "Yea."

Ryan nodded, a little annoyed.

"Good." Spencer said, walking into the police department.

Grey watched Spencer read over the files. After Elle's outburst today, Grey was wondering if he should talk with the younger man. He didn't want to be a bother though and Spencer had said no more mentioning of personal issues. He walked over to the man, who briefly looked up.

"Any luck?"

"Nah, Jason's still working the Internet angle. Sort of just waiting for what he finds."

Spencer nodded, his eyes still on the file.

"You have a right to fight for your son."

Spencer looked up. "Grey..."

"No, let me finish. I know there's a lot going on with you right now with the girl and stuff, but... as a father.. I'd die for my girls. I didn't have a dad growing up either and I..I don't know, I can't imagine what I'd do if someone tried to keep me from my girls, regardless of the situation. Even if it's the wrong situation and he has two 'capable parents,' you're his dad. and,... man, I don't know what you're going through. I don't know the whole story, but if I were you? I'd never stop fighting. It sounds like you probably won't get custody or even joint custody, but..." Grey shook his head. "He's your son, you know?"

Spencer nodded. He bit at his bottom lip.

"I never thought I'd have kids. I.. there's mental illness in my family and no one in my family has a good track record with relationships, I wasn't going to bring another person in this world and have them have a childhood like I did. I didn't want them to feel... I just feel like..." He sighed, shaking his head, biting on the lid of his pen. "I don't know what the right thing to do is. and Now he knows I'm his dad and I just, I'm terrified that I'm not going to be able to see him other than a few days here and there and he's going to think..."

"Spencer. I saw you with him when they came in and I can tell you that that little boy worships you and that was before he knew you were his dad. He's not going to think anything bad of you. You're like his hero. Whatever's going on with his mom and his stepdad or whatever he is and you doesn't matter to him. You might have not wanted things to be like this, but they are and you need to make sure that you are in his life and every day you get with him, that he knows you love him. That's all you can do. This JJ girl, she seemed like she had a good head on her shoulders, I'm sure she won't keep you away from your son. and If her boyfriend or husband loves Henry as much as you do, he'll do the right thing too."

Spencer nodded. "Got any advice on relationships?"

Grey smiled a little. "Don't date taken women."
