Chapter 15: Profiling Gideon

"What did you just say?" Morgan asked turning around and walking toward the bed.

"Uh, nothing?"

Morgan shook his head, "I don't think so, Reid. You said that Gideon raped you?"

Reid turned his head, "Morgan, please."

Morgan sat in the chair and pulled it closer to the bed, "Reid, man, I thought we were friends. Friends tell each other when they're hurt or being hurt. I mean you gotta tell me something."

Reid looked at Morgan with tears in his eyes. He never wanted Morgan to find out like this. Granted he never wanted Morgan to find out at all, but now that he did, what could he do? What if he really decides he doesn't want to be with me once he finds out it's my fault?

"Reid, did Gideon rape you?"

Reid bit his lip and nodded. Morgan sucked in a breath to keep from yelling. Before he was able to ask any more questions, the doctor walked in.

"Can I go home?"

"Well everything looks okay on our part, just make sure you're careful of the stitches and I've prescribed you some extra strength Tylenol in case you need it."

Reid nodded and the doctor handed him his discharge papers, which he signed and Morgan helped him off the bed. He put an arm around Reid's waist as they walked to the car.

{~CM~}

Morgan sat Reid on the couch and went to make some coffee and lock Clooney in the bedroom. Once the coffee was made, he took two mugs of it, placed them on the table, and sat on the couch next to Reid. He turned to face him and curled one leg underneath him.

"So talk."

"What do you want me to say?"

"How did this happen? Why did this happen? Why didn't you say anything?"

"Would you have believed me, if I told you?" Reid asked accusingly putting sugar and cream in his coffee.

"How did this start?"

Reid bit his lip and shook his head sipping his coffee. Morgan sighed, took Reid's mug, and set it on the table.

"Oh no, pretty boy, you're gonna talk to me. You have to tell me something."

Reid sighed and looked down, "I was a freshman in college. Gideon was a guest lecturer for one of my classes and he talked about his job at the FBI. The way he talked made me sure that that's what I wanted to do. So, I decided to talk to him. He liked me and he became like a mentor to me. I told him all of my problems with my dad and my mom and he helped me deal. He said he really cared about me and had potential."

Morgan sipped his coffee and continued to look at Reid. This brought up memories of his past; he shoved them back down, he needed to focus on Reid. Reid took a small sip of coffee before continuing.

"It went on for about two months. That's how long he was in Vegas for. Do you know what he told me?" Reid asked putting his head down.

Morgan shook his head, "No."

"He told me as long as I let him…use me, I'd have a job back at the FBI waiting for me. He used to say things to me, threaten me. In class, I was his golden boy. He talked about me all the time. And you know the worst thing Morgan?"

Again, Morgan shook his head.

Reid burst into tears, "I let him use me. You have no idea the things he did to me. The beatings, the words, and the tools he used on me, and I let him."

Morgan took Reid's cup and set it back on the table and pulled Reid into a hug, "No, Reid. You didn't let him; he took advantage of you. You were only a child."

Reid sobbed into Morgan's shirt and Morgan let him. Normally he'd make some smart remark about his shirt being ruined, but right now, he didn't care about his shirt. His best friend was hurt.

"Why me?" Reid sobbed. "Why does everyone pick on me?"

Morgan shook his head, "I don't know. My only guess would be that in some weird and twisted way Gideon cares about you."

Reid pushed back and stared up at Morgan frowning, "What?"

Morgan shook his head, "Okay, we made a promise to never profile each other, but for Gideon I'm gonna make an exception. See the way I figure, Gideon cares about people but when he finds someone that he really cares about, and I don't mean like sexually cares about, he doesn't know how to show his care and concern correctly. This may be due in part to his past."

"What do you mean?" Reid asked.

"Gideon has always been a mystery ever since I started working here. He never offers information about himself or his past. That makes me think that something happened in his past. Like maybe, he saw his father abuse his mother and yet he still cared about her or something. This could be why he doesn't get too close to people, especially us. What happened is that he probably ended up getting too close to you when maybe he didn't really want to and that's how the abuse started."

Reid wiped his eyes, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have…well thrown myself at him."

"No, Reid, this isn't your fault. None of it is."

"But…"

"But nothing," Morgan said, "You didn't do anything wrong, Reid. Got me? Nothing. Gideon's at fault here, not you."

Reid nodded and Morgan pulled him close and kissed him. Reid gasped lightly and Morgan took the opportunity to stick his tongue in the younger man's mouth. Reid moaned low in his throat and kissed Morgan back eagerly. When the need for air became too much to bear, they parted.

"I'm sorry I doubted you, Reid."

"I wanted to tell you the truth, but I was afraid."

Morgan kissed his lips lightly, "Never be afraid to come to me, Reid. That's what I'm here for."

Reid nodded and kissed Morgan again. Morgan kissed him back but then backed away, "Reid, we gotta stop."

Reid got terrified, "What's wrong? You don't want me anymore do you? I knew it."

"Whoa! Reid, chill out man? Would I kiss you if I didn't want you? We just need to slow down a bit okay?"

Reid nodded. He looked at the clock and gasped, "It's late. I should get going," he stood up and Morgan grasped his wrist lightly.

"It's not that late and besides, you're not going home. You're gonna stay with me until I decide to do something about that bastard."

Reid shook his head, "Morgan, please don't. I have to go home."

"Reid, I don't want that bastard to touch you ever again. I'm gonna kill him."

"No. Morgan, please. I don't want him to find out that you know."

"Why not?"

Reid bit his lip, "We don't know what he'll do. To you, to me, to…to my…my mother."

Morgan raised his eyes, "He threatened your mother?"

"He said that if I ever told anyone he'd hurt her."

Morgan sighed and stood up, "Come on, I'll take you home."

{~CM~}

The next morning Morgan picked up Reid for work. Reid was quieter than usual. Morgan shrugged it off thinking he was still sleepy.

"The girls were really worried about you yesterday. So prepare to be swarmed," he chuckled.

Reid smiled briefly and then sighed before looking out the window. Morgan frowned.

"Reid, what's the matter? You've been really quiet and that's not like you."

"I'm scared, Morgan."

"Don't worry, Reid, I won't let anything happen to you."

Reid sighed and nodded. They got into the office and true to Morgan's word, JJ and Garcia swarmed him.

"Oh my goodness, we were so worried about you? Are you okay?" JJ asked.

Reid nodded, "I'm fine I was just feeling a little under the weather."

JJ put her hands on her hips as she looked at Morgan, "I told you he wasn't feeling good."

Morgan chuckled as he sat on his desk, "I know, JJ."

Reid chuckled as he sat down but his laughter quickly faded when he saw Gideon enter the room. Gideon gave him a face that Reid knew he was probably going to get it later. Morgan saw Reid's face, turned, and saw Gideon.

"Hey," he whispered. "He can't do anything to you here in the office right? You're gonna be okay."

Reid shook his head. He knew that he wouldn't be okay. Gideon could try something. He didn't care.

{~CM~}

Half an hour later Gideon was sitting in the conference room with the rest of the team listening to JJ talk about a case, but he wasn't really listening. He was glaring at Reid. He had no idea how he got out of his binds but he was going make him pay. Moreover, if that wasn't enough to punish him, there was the fact that he was too close to Morgan. No one was allowed to touch what belonged to him. No one. Moreover, he was going to make sure Reid knew it. He wasn't sure if Morgan and Reid were together like that but he had his suspicions and he wanted them squashed. Immediately.

Before they left to head to the airstrip, Gideon motioned for Reid to follow him to the break room. Reid gulped and followed him. The minute he entered and Gideon slammed the door shut, he was slapped in the face. Reid whimpered and tried to back away.

"I don't know how the fuck you got free, but you will pay for that. Let me guess, Morgan thought it would be okay to break you free. What did you tell him?"

Reid whimpered again and shook his head.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM?" Gideon screamed and slammed him into the wall.

"N-nothing. I didn't say anything. G-Gideon, please."

Gideon didn't say anything. He grabbed Reid's arm and pulled him out of the break room. Reid wished that Morgan hadn't left but he knew there wasn't anything he would be able to do, but it would give him comfort that Gideon wouldn't try anything. Gideon dragged him to the car and threw him in the backseat.

"Don't move."

Gideon drove a ways away from the office when he parked the car on the off road and got in the backseat. Reid, who knew what was coming, tried backing away. Gideon wasn't having any of it. He grabbed Reid and threw him on the seat face first. He yanked Reid's pants down and covered his mouth as he thrust hard and deep inside. Reid screamed and bit Gideon's hand.

{~CM~}

Morgan was getting worried, "What's taking them so long?"

Prentiss shrugged, "Relax will you? They'll be here."

Morgan sighed. He knew he shouldn't have left Reid alone with that asshole. If Morgan profiled Gideon correctly, he knew that Gideon was a power driven ass who liked to prey on the weak and that he didn't like anyone touching what belonged to him.

{~CM~}

"You bitch! You're mine; you understand that? No one gets to have what belongs to me!" Gideon yelled as he continued to thrust deep.

Reid could do nothing but cry. He couldn't even let himself drift off as he usually did. He wanted to be in Morgan's arms.

"Morgan better learn to keep his hands to himself. If I see you touch him or him touch you in anyway, you'll pay."

{~CM~}

Several minutes later Hotch dialed Gideon's number and was surprised to find that it went straight to voicemail. He frowned when all of a sudden, the door to the jet opened and Gideon walked in with Reid following behind him. Gideon took a seat and Reid immediately went into the bathroom.

"What took you so long?"

"Traffic," Gideon replied.

Hotch sighed and knocked on the pilot's door to let him know they were ready to take off. Reid exited the bathroom, sat in the back, and buried his face in a book.

"Spence, you okay?" JJ asked.

Reid looked up, gave a fake smile, and nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine."

Morgan looked at Reid and gave a nudge toward Gideon. Reid raised his eyebrow. Morgan growled low in his throat. Reid shook his head. Morgan sighed and leaned back in his seat and Reid went back to his book. This was going to be a long flight.

Also I wish to thank my beta Dragon Claymore and nebula2 for helping me create Gideon's profile
