Spencer stared at his phone. He had promised Henry he'd call Will. It was 8:15 now, so that meant it was 11:15 in DC. He took a breathe. Maybe he should wait until after Krandall visited. If he didn't, he'd have a excuse to get off the phone if things got heated. He nodded and searched through his phone. Finding the number, he began the call. Maybe Will wouldn't even answer.

It rang twice, three...four times before someone answered.

"What?" The voice drawled out.

Spencer gulped. "Will? It's.."

"I know who it is, Reid. Why are you calling?"

"I told Henry I would."

Will sighed. "Why did Henry want you to call me?"

"He misses you, Will."

"Right. I'm sure he does. Maybe some genius shouldn't have been screwing his mother."

Spencer rolled his eyes. "This isn't about us. It's about Henry."

"He spends the days with me, Reid. I'm not abandoning my son."

"I know that, but..." He sighed. What was he supposed to do? "...JJ misses you too."

Will was silent. "What the hell are you trying to do, man? You screw my girl and now you try to get us back together. You're sick."

Spencer picked at his papers. "Look, Will. I love-"

"Don't you dare say it."

"I love her. She's my best friend and we... messed up. We made a mistake and now, you're dealing with it and I know that... that I'm not the person you want to hear this from, nor do I want to be the one telling you, but Henry loves you and he just wants his Mom and Dad to be happy... together. Your parents never split up so you don't understand what its like, but let me tell you that it's horrible and it hurts and it feels like its your fault no matter how old you are or what the situation is. And Henry may be 23 months old, but he's smart and he needs you at home."

Will was silent. "I... I can't talk to you about this, man."

"Yeah, I definitely know how you feel. This is...very awkward."

Will sighed. "You know when I see you again, I'm going to beat the shit out of you."

"I assumed."

Will laughed a little. "God. You make it very difficult to be mad at you."

"I'll try and be...more infuriating when you see me next."

"Okay, Reid. I'll talk with Henry when he wakes up from his nap. I'll tell him you called."

Spencer started to say something but heard the call end. He sighed.

Sarah looked over at him. "What was that about?"

"Just a promise I made. Do you have the files ready to discuss for the next case?"

Criminal Minds || Viva Las Vegas

Spencer watched as the Section Chief made his way onto their floor. He gulped a little and Elle smacked his arm.

"Don't look so nervous!"

Spencer looked at her. "You don't understand the dire situation!"

"You don't understand. If he doesn't like you, maybe he'll send you home."

Spencer frowned. Home. Where was home now?

"You must be Doctor Reid. Strauss said you looked like a spagetti noodle."

Spencer grimaced. "Why does everything say things like that?" He muttered to himself. He shook his head. "Chief Krandall, sir, this is.. some of my team. Agents DiMario and Black are out -"

"At UNLV, yes, you told me this morning. It's nice to see you again, Grey."

Grey nodded. "DiMario wanted me to say hello as well, sir."

Krandall nodded. "Always liked William. Army man like myself, you know."

Spencer cleared his throat. "Ryan Williams and Elle Greenaway."

"Ms. Williams. You also worked in California, yes?"

"Ahh No, sir. New York all my life."

"Hmm. Well, It's nice to meet you. You as well, Ms. Greenaway. Where's Vence?"

"Third floor. We can go see him, if you'd like." Spencer said, making his way to the elevator.

Chief Krandall shook his head. "I'll see him another time. Shall we go to your office, Agent Reid?"

"Yes sir."

Elle gave him a thumbs up and Ryan leaved over. "Does he look like he's about to pass out?"

"As long as he doesn't ramble, he should be fine."

"Not if he passes out." Grey said before grabbing his cup and heading to the break room.

"Spencer does his best work terrified. He should be fine."

Ryan looked at his office, a little worried.

"Don't freak out. He's not Dr. Incredible without reason."

Ryan shot her a look. "I-I don't know what you're talking about."

"I knew the second you said that the kiss you two shared was a mistake. Spencer never should have shrugged that off unless he knew it was a lie. I hope you know what you're in for, Ryan."

"He's over that."

Elle glanced at her before sitting at her desk. "I wasn't there when Spencer got kidnaped, but let me tell you. That boy had eyes for her for... for as long as I remember. You don't just get over that. That boy will always be head over heels in love with JJ Jareau. Definitely since she's the mother of his son. He knows what it's like to come from a broken home and I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up with JJ eventually. Plus... it's JJ and Reid... it's just... I mean, you've seen them together, they just... kind of make sense."

Ryan blinked. "I get that you're from his old team and all. You had loyalties to the blonde and all, but You're in Vegas now. Team Vegas. Team Ryan."

Elle laughed. "I'm not on any team. I'm just expressing my opinion."

"Well.. go express it somewhere else, because he's my boyfriend now and I don't want to hear about how much he and JJ 'make sense'. If they made so much sense, she would have left her boyfriend and not messed with Spence's heart."

Elle raised an eyebrow. "He lets you call him Spence?"

Ryan shrugged. "Point is, Girl got her chance and she blew it. He's moving on with me and we're having fun. And That makes sense. I'm not going to screw him over because I can't decide what I want."

Elle smirked at Ryan. "You really don't like her do you? You know that Spencer was a willing participant, right?"

Ryan rolled her eyes. "Was he? She took his V-card and was the man's first love. How is that fair? No shit, he's going to be all doe eyed over her."

Elle shook her head. "You're not giving Spencer enough credit, Ryan. That boy is the most logical man...probably in the whole world. He knew what he was in. He knew and he let it happen because he wanted her, whatever cost. He knew she was with Will and he did what he wanted regardless."

"Because he loved-"

Ryan looked at Grey who was walking back, sipping his coffee. "Because who loved who?" He asked, sitting across from Elle.

Ryan shook her head and Elle looked at Ryan before at Grey. "If you had a chance to have sex with the woman of your dreams, would you cheat on your wife?"

Grey raised an eyebrow. "Would she ever find out?"

Ryan gave him a disgusted look. "You're a pig."

"What? I didn't say I would. My answer would be is... 'My wife is the woman of my dreams."

Elle rolled her eyes. "Neither of us know Kaleigh, Grey."

Grey chuckled. "Why did you ask?"

"We were just discussing something."

"about Dr. Incredible?"

Elle chuckled; She couldn't believe they were calling Reid that. "Yes."

"You think he's going to cheat on you? You just got together."

"No. Elle thinks it, though."

"I never said that. I just think that if he still has feelings for his ex, that's its possible that he could."

Grey looked at him. "Is his ex the woman of his dreams?"

Ryan looked at Elle, who shrugged. "Could be. I don't know. Never met either of them."

"No. She's not. If she was, she wouldn't have done the things she did."

Grey sipped his drink. "Well... I think anyone who cheats on Ryan is an any of you girls. Will can paralyze someone with a mere touch and Jason could financially destroy some one with a few keystrokes. Both would do both if any of you guys got hurt. Hell, Even Spencer would probably kick him while he was down. Try and get another shot with you, even though... 'It was a mistake.' - Ouch, Ryan. Ouch."

Ryan rolled her eyes. "It never should have happened and then Henry saw and... it was just bad."

"God, you sure know how to destroy a man don't you? I'm so glad that he's in there with Krandall and not out here. It was just bad? Cold. Just plain cold."

"It wasn't a bad kiss. It was just.. Ugh. Nevermind!"

Elle looked up at the office. "What do you think they're talking about up there?"

Both shrugged.
