All mistakes are my own

He winced as the doctor began to do the rape exam, he held Morgan's hand tightly and stared at the ceiling, he had been asleep when they had done the first rape exam, the exam that had revealed everything on the night Martin had stabbed him. Morgan came to his side and blocked his view of the doctor, Reid trusted Morgan and only felt comfortable with him being in the room. He had sent the others to care for Henry.

"Reid, she's almost done," Morgan tried to soothe but he knew his words didn't make a single dent in the humiliation and pain his best friend was feeling. He turned to look a the doctor. "How much longer?"

"One more swab and then I have to do a few stitches," she answered. "I'll be as quick as I can."

Morgan kept blocking Reid's view as the doctor finished the exam and stitches. When she had finished, Morgan helped Reid sit up and covered his friend's legs over with a blanket. "Doctor, can I have a few minutes alone with Spencer?"

"Is that what you want Spencer?" the doctor asked.

"Yes," Reid whispered gently.

"I'll be back in a few minutes to take you to your room," she nodded before leaving the room.

The moment the door closed, Reid let out a broken sob and clenched the blanket in his hand tightly. Morgan sat down and put his arms down his friend, Reid leaned against him and continued to cry. "Just let it out, kid."

"He grabbed me and threw me on the bed, I just let him do it, I couldn't think of another way to distract him. I can still feel him as he did it and I can feel where he bit me. I just wanted to keep Henry safe. I didn't though," he cried.

"Reid, no, you protected Henry. You're the reason he is at home with JJ and Will, why are you thinking like this?"

"He still kidnapped Henry and Henry was so scared on the phone, he was crying and I've never heard his voice shake like that before. Morgan, for the rest of his life, he'll be haunted by what happened. Martin hit him across the face and you saw the bruise, he must have hit him hard. It's all my fault," Reid cried. "I didn't protect him from Martin, all I wanted to do was protect him."

"You did protect him," Morgan shook his head. "He's alive and he's safe."

Reid continued to cry and Morgan felt helpless as he held his friend, he knew that there was only one person who could calm Reid down.

The next day

The doctor had discharged Reid but with orders to get plenty of rest and to take his medication, Morgan used a wheelchair to take him to the car and helped him get in. Reid stared out the window as they left the parking area and made their way into traffic. He closed his eyes and couldn't stop his mind going back to one of Martin's most violent acts.

"Spencer, open this door!" Martin shouted before he hit the bathroom door, the lock held and Reid looked up with tears streaming down his cheeks. He had run into the bathroom when Martin had started to yell at him for not making enough money. He jumped when another fist hit the door. "Spencer, the longer I have to wait for this door to open, the worst it'll be for you."

"Baby, please, I just need some time. I'm sorry about not making enough money. Maybe if you got a job-" he tried to say before Martin began screaming at him again.

"GET A JOB!" Martin yelled through the door. "No, I will not take orders from a piece of shit like you. Now, open the damn door or I'll break it down."

Reid looked at the door and hoped that the lock would hold, Martin had gotten drunk and angry, he didn't want to leave the bathroom because he knew that Martin would hurt him severely. He flinched and scrambled away from the door as Martin kicked it open. In desperation, he managed to run under Martin's arm but a hand grabbed his shirt and threw him into the wall. As he turned, Martin delivered a brutal punch to his stomach and then another punch to his ribs, he turned Reid around and pressed him stomach first into the wall.

"M-Martin," Reid coughed through sobs. "I'm sorry."

Reid wasn't able to get another word out as Martin grabbed his head and smashed it into the wall causing everything to go dark.

As he woke up, he found himself naked and in an immense amount of pain, his eyes fluttered as he struggled to stay awake and he could hear faint voices coming from near the bed, he closed his eyes but listened as the two men spoke.

"How much then?" a man whose voice he didn't recognise said.

"Three hundred, same the others paid," Martin answered.

"He looks a little beat up, you sure he hasn't got anything."

"I'm clean and the others used protection, he's clean. Do you want a go or not?"

He heard a rustle and then felt a weight on top of him, everything went dark before he registered what was happening.

Reid opened his eyes and felt tears burning them.

"Reid, what's wrong? Are you in pain?"

"$1200," Reid whispered but it was loud enough for Morgan to hear.

"Kid, what are you talking about?"

"He wanted to do some work on his car but he couldn't because I didn't make enough money. I had already paid out for my mother's expenses and he got so angry with me, I ran into the bathroom and sat there as he began to hit the door, he kept hitting and then he finally kicked down the door. I managed to run under his arm but he caught me and thew me into a wall, he punched me in the stomach twice and then smashed my head into the wall. I woke up briefly to hear these voices and I was in immense pain, I didn't know why. When I regained consciousness later that day, he had a huge smile on his face while I was laying in sheets smeared with blood. Four men, three hundred dollars each. He had friends who knew people who liked to pay for sex."

"No," Morgan said, wishing with all his might that he had it all wrong.

"When I was unconscious, he let four men rape me for three hundred dollars each. He didn't beat me or rape me for a week after that. He was too busy with the car, it was only time I got off from the abuse. That entire week, I scrubbed and scrubbed my skin when I got a chance, the feeling of self-hatred never went away. I'm worth three hundred dollars, Morgan."

Morgan pulled over the car and got out of the car, he paced around before kicking the car and letting out a scream of rage. Reid stayed in the car until Morgan got into the car and began to drive again.

"I'm sorry," Reid said.

"Stop saying that!" Morgan shouted before he gripped the steering wheel to bring in his emotions, Reid shook in his seat and bit his lip. He went to say sorry but stopped himself.

"I'm really sorry for shouting at you, kid," Morgan sighed. "Listen to me, you don't have to say sorry for things that are not your fault. I know, deep inside, Martin beat you into thinking that everything was your fault but none of it was your fault. I had to get out of the car because it hurts me to know that you went through that. He sold you to other men to make money to pay for a car part. He spoke of wanting a relationship with you and then raped you in a public restroom because he thought you were cheating, damn bastard. Reid, stop apologising all the time, you've not done anything wrong."

"You're not angry with me?" Reid said quietly.

"No, I'm angry, I could never ever be angry with you. We're going to JJ's because I want you to talk with Henry."

"No, I don't want to talk with Henry, I don't want him to hate me."

"He doesn't hate you, he loves you. Reid, you let a monster who had subjected you to hell, hurt you so you could do what needed to be done to save Henry. You spent eight months and endured all Martin did to you to protect that little boy."

"Will you come in with me? I'm scared of how he'll be."

"He'll be fine," Morgan smiled. "I'll go in with you."

"Thanks, Morgan."
