Chapter 14: Morgan Learns the Truth

The week went past and Morgan hadn't heard from Reid, not that he expected too. It just made him realize that Reid had lied to him and he realized he didn't want anything to do with him. As he walked into the bullpen, he rubbed his temple realizing the week went by way too quickly for his liking.

"Morning, my Chocolate Stud," Garcia greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Morning," he grumbled. Garcia chuckled and then looked behind him.

"No Reid?"

Morgan shrugged, "He didn't call me and ask me for a ride. Actually haven't heard him all this week."

Garcia shrugged and bounced to her office, "Woman, you are way too perky for a Monday morning," Morgan called after her making her laugh.

By mid-morning, Reid still hadn't shown up and Morgan got worried. He dialed his cell and got no answer. Then Morgan tried the house number, but still nothing. Hotch came out of his office and frowned when he didn't see Reid.

"Anyone hear from Reid?"

"I just tried his cell and his home, and there's no answer," Morgan responded.

"Hmm," Hotch frowned. "Well I'll let it slide for today since there are no cases."

By the time lunch rolled around, Morgan was getting worried. He had tried calling him several times. He, JJ and Garcia went out to lunch down the street at Amici's.

"Still no word from Boy Wonder?" Garcia asked. Morgan shook his head as they slid into a table.

"No, and I'm getting worried."

"Maybe he's just sick and forgot to call in," JJ smiled picking up the menu. Morgan snorted.

"This is Reid we're talking about. Kid hasn't taken a sick day since he's started working here."

JJ just shrugged as the waiter came and they all ordered.

"No, but can you believe Elle quit?" JJ asked. "I didn't think that would've ever happened."

"Maybe the last case was too much for her," Morgan shrugged. "I guess we'll never know exactly what happened."

"True, but we can speculate," Garcia giggled.

"Baby Girl, don't even think about it. We just have to accept the fact that Elle's gone and she isn't coming back."

"So what's Hotch gonna do now?" Garcia asked the food came and they all dug in.

JJ shrugged, "I heard that he was looking for someone else before Strauss just drops someone on his lap."

Both Morgan and Garcia nodded in agreement. As they got further into their meal, they started to talk about other things like Morgan's current girl of the week, and when they were going to get a real vacation and what they would do. Morgan didn't want to go back into the BAU. He'd rather be out enjoying the weather rather than being stuck in the office working on files. The trio got back into the BAU. Morgan worked on the files he had left which was a lot and found himself thinking about Reid. I think I should check on him.

Why? Remember he lied to you? You're just forgetting that?

No, but still he's my friend and what if he's sick?

When'd you become such a softie? You're Derek Morgan for god's sake! You can have anyone you want, man or woman alike.

I know, but I want Reid.

Well tough. He's in a relationship with your boss and you can't have him.

I'm still gonna check on him later.

Derek Morgan's become a pussy.

Shut up.

{~CM~}

Morgan worked diligently all day on the cases that he needed to catch up on. By the time 5:00 rolled around and he was getting ready to head home, he placed his last file of the day in his outgoing pile and was surprised by the amount of files that were piled in that bin. He didn't even realize how many files he had worked on. Part of it had to do with the fact that he was worried about Reid and the other part was that he just wanted to get the work done so he worked as fast as he could.

He practically dragged himself out to his car, got behind the wheel, and drove to Reid's apartment. He knew that if he went home first he'd never come out and he really was concerned about Reid. He got to Reid's apartment, headed upstairs to the fourth floor, and banged on the door.

"Reid! It's Morgan, open the door!"

Morgan waited to see if Reid would respond. When he didn't Morgan pounded on the door again.

"Reid, man I know you're in there. Open the damn door!"

What started to worry Morgan what that he didn't hear any sounds from inside, no television, no Reid, nothing. He pounded for a third time and waited. When he still didn't hear anything, he stepped back and kicked the door in.

"Reid!" He yelled as he walked through the apartment.

He wasn't prepared for the sight that greeted him when he opened the door to the bedroom. Reid was laying there handcuffed to the bed, gagged and covered in what Morgan registered as blood and other bodily fluids that he didn't want to stop to consider. He rushed to Reid's side.

"Shit, pretty boy, hang on."

Reid tried to shake his head and tell him no, but Morgan stopped him, "Shh, stay still."

Morgan needed to get those handcuffs off of him but he didn't know how. His lock pick was in the car, which is why he kicked Reid's door in. He ran out of the bedroom and started rummaging through drawers for anything that would do the trick, a pin, screwdriver, anything. He finally found a safety pin laying around on the end table and ran back to the room.

"Okay, Reid, I found a safety pin. Try and hold still so I can get the cuffs off of you."

Morgan worked quickly to uncuff Reid and then remove the gag from his mouth, "Reid what happened?"

"Morgan," Reid rasped and whispered, "You need to leave."

"Are you fucking kidding me? I'm not leaving. I'm taking you to the hospital."

Reid shook his head frantically, "No."

"Reid, that wasn't a question. Now, do you want to take care of that or do you want me to?" Morgan asked pointed to Reid's cock.

Reid whimpered a little as he reached out to remove the cock ring. Morgan walked out of the room to try to give him some privacy. He headed into the bathroom and wet a washcloth. He came back in Reid's bedroom and proceeded to wash him off.

"Morgan, stop. Go away."

"No, Reid. Do you know how worried I've been?"

Reid raised an eyebrow, "You were worried about me?"

"Yes. Now be still."

Morgan washed him off the best he could and rather than trying to get Reid dressed he gathered him up in the sheet and wrapped Reid up in it and took him down to the car.

"Did you do that to my door?"

"I will fix it, I promise."

"Morgan, please put me down, I'm fine."

Morgan shook his head, "You're not fine, Reid, and I'm not putting you down."

Reid sighed as Morgan laid him down in the backseat and threw himself in the driver's seat and sped to the hospital. Reid wanted to cry. He never wanted Morgan to see him like this and he was in so much pain. Gideon had taken him hard the last few days.

Morgan regretted not having the FBI's SUV as he sped to the hospital. He was just grateful there wasn't a lot of traffic at this time. He pulled the SUV right up to the ER of the hospital and put it in park before jumping out of the car and gently picking Reid up and running inside.

"What happened?" A nurse asked as she wheeled over a stretcher.

Morgan laid Reid on it and explained to the nurse what he witnessed. She nodded and started to wheel Reid away. Morgan tried to follow when another nurse tried to follow.

"He's my friend, please."

"He's in good hands, don't worry."

Morgan sighed as he went to sit in the waiting room. The one thing Morgan hated was waiting. He sat in the chair and tapped his foot for a minute before standing up and pacing the floor while he waited. He kept checking the clock. Just as he sat back down a doctor came out looking very grim. Morgan walked up to him.

"Is he okay?"

"You're the one who brought Dr. Reid in?"

Morgan nodded, "Yes, I'm his friend Derek Morgan."

"Come with me."

Morgan walked with him to Reid's room, "Is he okay?"

"Agent Morgan, did you know that Dr. Reid was raped extensively?"

"What? Are you sure?"

The doctor nodded, "Yes. He has extensive anal tearing. Some of it was old while some of it was fresh. Along with the marks on his body, it's concluded that he had been raped extensively and beaten."

No! That can't be. "What needs to be done?"

"Well I've managed to stitch him up much to his refusal. He just needs to take antibiotics at least twice a day to help the swelling go down and prevent any infection. Also I would prefer that he doesn't sit for too long until he has officially healed."

Morgan nodded and sighed. "Can I see him?"

The doctor nodded and pointed to his room. Morgan bit his lip as he pushed the door open and went inside. Reid looked at him and then turned his face.

"Reid, look at me."

Reid turned to look at Morgan. Morgan walked close to his bed and sat in the chair beside it.

"Who did this to you? I know you know."

Reid shook his head, "No."

"Reid."

"I said no!"

"Reid, why didn't you tell me?"

"Morgan, please just go and leave me alone."

"Reid…"

"It's clear you don't want to be around me. You only came to my rescue because you felt like you had to."

"I only didn't want to be around you because I thought you lied to me! I didn't come to your rescue because I felt like I had to, Reid. I told you I was worried about you all day. I wanted to. But if you don't want me here, fine. I'm trying to be a friend, but it's clear to me that you don't want that."

"What did you want me to do, Morgan?" Reid said tears in his eyes, "Tell you that Gideon was the one who raped me?"

Morgan swung his head around to Reid and looked at him with wide eyes. "What?"

Shit! "Uh…"

TBC...

Max: Uh oh, how's Reid gonna respond?

Me: *shrugs* guess we'll have to wait until the next chapter to find out.

Max: you do realize that your readers are gonna kill you right? Another cliffhanger?

Me: They'll survive. Especially when they find out that things are about to heat up and not just sexually.

Max: *rubs hands together* I can't wait.

Me: Obviously.
