"I really think this is a bad idea." Reid said nervously picking at his fingernails while they waited for Silas to grab his laptop to play the video.
"Why? " Morgan asked setting him with a hard look, "What's on this disc that you don't want us to see?"
"I don't know!" Reid said in exasperation, "That's what I'm worried about. I didn't think I had any anger issues."
J.J eyed him strangely and he sighed, "Look it's probably just a trick."
"Reid you know we have to watch it. If it pertains to the investigation, we don't have a choice." Hotch said sternly.
"Like you said I'm sure it's nothing anyway." Garcia said smiling at him warmly.
He smiles back timidly still bouncing around nervously.
"Yeah pretty boy just let it go." Morgan said leaning back in his chair with his arms behind his head.
He shook his head in reply. "You're really letting his get to you aren't you kid?" Rossi questioned from his place next to Prentiss who was biting her nail in anticipation.
"I just want to know who this son of a bitch is!" He exclaim in a very un-spencer like manner.
Briar Rose jolted on his shoulder and he wince, "What'd you call me?" She mumbled confused sitting up and pushing the stray hair out of her face.
"No, I was wasn't talking to you," Spencer sighed dropping his head in his palm.
Briar frowned glancing around at the group. "What happened?"
Prentiss handed her the note and DVD watching as she read them both her face becoming more confused as she did so. "But Spence doesn't really have any anger issues"
"Thank you!" He exclaimed tossing his hands in the air.
"Let it go Reid." Morgan repeated.
He huffed in defeat when Silas walked back through the door with his Mac book. Setting it down in the middle of the table so everyone could see.
They put in the disc and watch as it pops up on the screen, just static at first but then the picture clears. It's a beautiful big backyard, the suns shining and there seems to be a barbeque going on. The camera zooms in on a clearly agitated teenage girl and a boy maybe a couple years older. He's got dark hair and a tall build talking animatedly with his hands and it quickly becomes clear that the blonde girl rolling her eyes at him is a fourteen year old Briar Rose.
The now twenty two year old's eyes widen when she see's it, "Is that?..." Her question trails off as her and Spencer realize exactly what the video is.
"Oh my god." They sound together.
They watch on as the boy gets up in her face and from the other side of the yard comes a another boy who's sandy brown hair is curly and whose light blue shirt shows off a small amount of lean muscles.
He tugs Briar Rose out of the way and when he turns back around they can see that it's a seventeen year old Spencer Reid, and he was fuming. He turns quick aiming a sucker punch to the kids jaw. Briar Rose jumps, "Spencer!" She chastises.
He gets in a few more punches taking one himself before, Quinn twenty one and handsome as ever with his blonde curls, pulls the two apart, "Whoa whoa whoa!" He yells getting an arm around Spencer's waist and one around the other boys practically tossing them in opposite directions.
"What the hell is going on? Spencer?" He questioned walking closer to Reid who was still fuming as he wiped away the small smudge of blood from where his lip was split.
"David was harassing her! She's a fourteen year old girl and he was up in her face!" He yelled waving a hand at 'David'
Quinn froze turning to face 'David' he cocked a brow at him, "You're David Kazer?" He asked pointing a finger at him.
The boy shrugged his shoulders at him, "Yeah?"
Quinn pursed his lips "Alright" He nodded slipping a rather large ring off his finger, He took a swing at the kid himself landing a powerful hit to his cheek bone.
He shook out his hand, "You know how much pain and suffering you caused my sister you son of a bi-"
"Quinn!" Briar Rose yelled hitting his upside the head, "Briar it wasn't-" What ever Reid was trying to say was cut off by Briar, "Shut up Spencer!"
"Oh my God, I'm glad I cheated on you, crazy bitch." David Groaned finally pulling himself up off the grass.
"What the fuck did you just call me?!" Briar yelled tackling him to the ground.
At that point Lochlan Redmond himself could be seen on the camera somehow managing to hold back not only Quinn but Spencer who both cursed and practically spit at the kid who was trying and failing to get away from Briar Rose.
Police Sirens were heard over the Camera when the video finally cut off.
It was dead silent while the team stared at the two of them, both of their mouths hanging open comically, before Spencer shakes his head quietly stating, "He needed nine stiches."
Briar Rose burst out laughing at the absurdity of it all tears gathering in the corners of her eyes. Spencer's eyes widen and he bolts up sitting ram rod straight at the table. "Briar this is serious!"
She immediately stops laughing sensing how much he was freaking out. He gaped at his team. "I was seventeen Hotch"
"So?" Morgan questioned still trying to process what he had just seen.
Spencer scoffed. "That video was taken eight years ago."
"Oh my god."
