"Anna … Anna is the most beautiful, intelligent and amazing woman. She is the one that keeps me sane and has always been there for me, even in the worst situations. She is my oldest friend, we´ve known each other for so long … She´s my fiancée … and she´s in coma …"

The team stayed in silence, their heads full with concern, confusion and worry, but also some hurt because their youngest member never told them he was having someone in his live, not even thinking he would hide going to get married. Whenever they asked him, he always said he was still alone.

Though they did realize, that he, in fact, had changed, they never actually thought it has happened because of a specific reason, or even because of a specific person. Of course, everyone has secrets, some like to share more, some want to keep everything to themselves. But an engagement? They wanted an answer and Reid knew he had to give one to them. Slowly, every team-member regained their straight, focusing on the young genius, waiting for his explanation.

"I know … I know I should have told you, but back then, I thought it would have been easier to simply hide it. Never had I thought it would turn out that way … Our story is far too long and needs a lot of explanation I actually want to share with you guys, because you are my family. But right now, Anna needs me. Please … please finish this case without me and let me be there for her, I swear, I´ll explain it all to you." He looked at Hotch, hope in his eyes for getting the answer he wanted.

Their team-leader, keeping his poker face up as he always did, nodded slowly. "I want it all explained, but if you have to, be there for her."

Reid thanked him silently with a nod, before turning around to leave. Though he turned around again before saying: "You know, before I got the call, I guess I found something. Check the support groups for regular members. In my opinion, those three apes are standing for him, not having a free will. Maybe even from his childhood…" And with that he turned around and left.

Morgan wasted no time, calling Garcia to check on that information, they had just gotten.

"Well, you´ll love me. I found out that there is one guy, regularly visiting ever of those groups from which the victims were. His name is Michael Greenwald … Just a minute … When he was about 14 years old, child service took him from his mother who had, how it seemed, had beaten him for years because of her alcohol addiction. He studied … oh … Chinese culture … that would explain the statues … his address is on your phone. Go get him"

In less than twenty minutes, the BAU-Team, with the help of the local police, was gathered around the UnSubs house. Hotch and Morgan went in first, quickly scanning the area. Suddenly, they heard screaming from the cellar. As fast as they could, they ran to where the screams were coming from. Breaking down the door, Morgan entered the cellar first, with his team quickly followed. Inside, they found their UnSub, holding a knife, standing in front of a row with three chairs, three women, the type the same as their other victims, tied to them.

"Michael Greenwald, FBI, get away from them."

"I – I can´t, what they did was wrong. They were addicts, it is wrong. I´m sorry but they have to be punished. She always told me, mother told me that I had heard nothing, saw nothing and wouldn´t say something. She said so, I have to do it…" with that he pointed the gun onto one of the women, ready to pull the trigger, before a shot fell. Though it was not meant for the women, it was meant for him.

A couple of hours later, the team was back on their jet. Though this time, they weren´t discussing the last case, this time it was about Reid. Suddenly, Garcia appeared on the laptop screen, looking confused at the gathered team.

"Ok, would you mind telling me, why Reid called me earlier today, telling me to buy him a ticket for a flight home, without any explanation. I mean … what? Why? What?"

"Baby girl, this is probably hard to understand, but you do know that he has been acting weird right? Well earlier, he suddenly told us he had to go and after we wouldn´t let him, he told us that … and don´t freak out now … he has a fiancée and she´s in coma" Morgan explained, though he rushed the last part as much as he could. The reaction he got was a jaw that had dropped followed by more than just one 'oh my god'.

"Why didn´t he tell us … me … I mean … I just don´t get it ... what has happened and … and …"

"Garcia, none of us knew, he told us he would explain it all once we were home" JJ stated.

"Do you think he´s in the hospital with her?" Rossi asked.

"Yes, else he wouldn´t have said so." Hotch answered.

"Guys, I don´t know how about you. But we´ve got to be there for the kid, not matter what" Morgan threw in.

"He´s right, maybe we should after all go to him. He needs us … all of us" Emily said.

"Garcia, could you meet us at the nearest hospital around where Reid lives? I´m pretty sure he´s there all right" and with those words from Hotch, everyone dug into his own little world, remaining in silence until the jet landed.

They met Garcia at the hospital entrance, making their way over to the nurse station, asking if they knew, where Spencer Reid´s fiancée´s room was.

"Are you his family? I´m sorry but we are not allowed to let anyone into this room except for Dr. Reid and her sister. Though I could ask him alright?" The nurse said still unsure and disappeared down the hall. Minutes later she came back, nodding at the team, saying she was in room 2554. They thanked the woman and made their way over to the named room.

Hotch knocked slightly at the door before opening it. On the hospital bed was a young woman, hooked up with many machines. She didn´t look older than 30 and had brown hair. Reid was sitting in a chair next to her bed, holding her hand. He looked up at his team, attempting to make a small smile.

"Come in … guys, this is my fiancée, Anna Morrison." They had never seen their youngest member as vulnerable and sad looking as in that moment. They entered the room, still absorbing the picture in front of them.

"I know you´re not happy with me right now, though I guess you solved the case, but I had to be here. I promised to explain it all, I might as well do that just now" while he talked, he didn´t let go of her hand.

"Spence … I´m so sorry" and with that JJ went to give him a small hug trying to comfort him at least a bit.

"Thanks' JJ …Do me a favour and take a seat, this story is really long, but I want to tell you ... all of it" while he spoke, they all went around the room to find a comfortable place to stay.

"Well, how should I start … Anna and I … we basically grew up together. She lived a couple houses down the street and we played together as kids. During my school time, she was pretty much the only friend I had. Though she was never in my year, often not even in the same school as I was, she was always there for me." Before continuing, he looked up at her with a small smile.

"We were always together, she even helped me with my mom. When I went to college, we stayed in touch just as much, at least until I got an offer for the BAU. A couple of weeks before my acceptance, she met him …"

He paused in the middle of the sentence, not continuing.

"Reid, who are you talking about … who is he?" Morgan asked. Reid looked at them, his eyes showing nothing but hurt and sadness.

"He … he was her last boyfriend … he´s the one responsible for all of this … Responsible for what has happened to her …"
