Thanks for the responses!

Sorry about the wait, hopefully that can be avoided from now on. :P

Reid stifled a yawn before he stretched and sat up, although he was a little surprised that the night wasn't interrupted by any nightmares that could have very well plagued the still dozing teen on the nearby sofa, on the other hand, he was not so surprised that he beat Aaron awake. Typical teenager, sleeping in, but Aaron undoubtedly needed it, who knows when the boy last got a decent rest? Spencer couldn't help but feel that his presence was partially responsible for the young man's undisturbed sleep.

His stomach growled slightly, and he was sure Aaron would be hungry too once he woke up, but the police station was a little lacking in breakfast foods as far as he could tell. He rummaged through his go bag, he found one chocolate and peanut butter flavored protein bar. He sighed quietly, regardless that he was used to skipping meals, Aaron was still a growing child who needed his nourishment, he would offer it to him when he awoke.

He was startled when the silence was broken by his cell phone ringing, he quickly picked it up and answered, not bothering to look at the caller ID. "Hello?"

"Hey, Reid, the team and I are leaving the hotel, we'll be on our way back to the station." Gideon responded. "Morgan called Garcia to have her see what she could possibly find that could give us a location on Foyet."

"Okay, good." Spencer nodded, then quickly realized that nobody saw it.

"How was Aaron last night?"

"He slept pretty good from what I can tell." Reid observed, glancing over at the seemingly peaceful teen.

"That's good." Gideon replied. "Anyway, we'll be there in about twenty minutes. See you then."

"Alright, bye." Spencer flipped his phone shut, ending the call. He went back over to his go-bag and retrieved some clothes to wear, though it soon occurred to him that Aaron didn't really have a change of clothes for himself, all he had was the T-Shirt and jeans he was currently wearing. He debated on calling back Jason and asking if they could stop by a department store and get a few things for the boy. Once he decided, he picked up his phone again and dialed his mentor's number.

"Yes, Reid?"

"Hey, Gideon, think that maybe you guys could go somewhere and get some more clothes for Aaron? I just now noticed that he doesn't have anything other than what he's wearing."

"Of course." Jason said. "That shouldn't be too hard either, after all, we've got Prentiss and JJ with us." He smirked.

"Better them than Garcia." Reid joked. "Okay, thanks guys." Once he hung up, he heard stirring coming from the other couch, he sat his phone down and quickly walked over to the young man. "Good morning, Aaron." He said softly.

"Mm, morning." He mumbled groggily as he sat upright.

"Are you hungry?"

"Yeah, kinda."

Spencer grabbed his protein bar nearby and handed it to Aaron. "It's a chocolate and peanut butter flavored bar, it has ten grams of protein in it."

"Thanks." He accepted it and started to work on removing it from the wrapper. Satisfied that the kid had something to eat, Reid walked over and picked up his clothes. "I'm going to go get changed, I'll be right back."

"Mm." Was the only response he got. Trying to hide a smile, Spencer left the room and headed for the restrooms. He returned a couple minutes later, fully dressed and carrying his pajamas. He saw Aaron suddenly reading a book on criminal profiling, he was about to ask where the boy found it, until he recalled it being the one he always kept in his bag. Aaron briefly glanced up at the young doctor before returning to the book. "Hope you don't mind." He said. Reid just smiled kindly. "Nah, that's okay." Without another word, Aaron flipped to the next page. Spencer watched him for a moment, the teen definitely had a transformation compared to yesterday when he first met him, Aaron was more relaxed, laid back even. Granted, he was still on the quiet side, but one can't expect too huge of a change in that matter of time, especially not from a traumatized child. Aaron was doing fairly well though, aside from his slight bored expression at the moment, though it has been ten years after all. Spencer managed to get him out of what seemed like a state of depression, and it made him wonder how things may have turned out had he never come along, would Aaron have ever gotten out of the shell he was in? But his biggest questions were why he felt so fond of the teen he barely knew? And what was it about him that Aaron found appealing, was it simply because he doesn't trust women or larger men, or was it something more? But any thoughts beyond that sounded a bit far fetched at best. Not to mention, this isn't the first time Reid has bonded with a victim during a case before, and Aaron probably won't be the last.

Additionally, why did Foyet let Aaron live? Did he have some sort of connection with the Hotchner family or something? There had to be some logical explanation as to why a serial killer would allow witness to live on. Was it because he thought Aaron would be battered emotionally, grieving over his lost family while living in fear that he would soon follow them? It almost didn't matter now, they knew who the unsub was, they had a living eyewitness under protection, all they needed now was Foyet himself, wherever he may be. Unless that second family he killed was to lure the BAU back over here, since they did work on the first case, but why? Did Foyet somehow think that if Aaron was out of the orphanage, he would be easier to get despite the presence of a team of FBI profilers? Some of this didn't quite make sense, even for Spencer and his high intellect.

His eidetic memory scanned through the short, sad story Aaron had told him, and from what he could tell, the boy had expressed fear when Foyet was present, and yet, the man didn't kill him. This is what really puzzled Reid, the BAU knew Foyet's profile, he gets off from killing his victims when they show fear, Aaron showed fear to the man, yet he let him live. Not that they all shouldn't be glad that Aaron survived, it was just downright confusing. Unless by chance one of his colleagues might know, such as Gideon or Rossi, they know the original case a little better than he does.

A couple knocks interrupted his musing, Aaron hardly looked away from the profiling book as Spencer got up and opened the door, it was JJ with a paper bag likely full of clothing for the teen. "I hope we got stuff that was okay, you didn't really specify-"

"No, no, I'm sure this is fine." Reid objected, accepting the bag from the media liaison. "Thanks, JJ."

"No problem, Spence." She replied. "Bye Aaron." She waved before leaving, the young man didn't even so much as acknowledge her, partially because he was too engrossed in Spencer's book.

"Hey, Aaron, I had my team get you some more clothes, seeing that you didn't have any others." He looked up in time to see the bag Reid was showing him. "I'm not sure what your fashion preferences are, but you can look through and see what you like." Nodding, Aaron sat the book down but left it open so he wouldn't lose the page he was on. He took the bag from Spencer and sat down on the floor with it, To be honest, he never really thought much about his choice of clothing, he always just wore what was provided by the orphanage, and before he got stuck there, he was a little young to bother much about his wardrobe. He supposed he'll find out eventually what he truly prefers. After finding a clean pair of socks, underwear, and jeans, he fumbled for a shirt, he was about to settle with a plain white T-Shirt until he found something much better; a dark colored shirt with white letters on the front that read "FBI". Reid smirked a little at the boy's choice for a shirt, he wondered where his friends had managed to find it in the first place. Spencer pointed out the restrooms where Aaron could have some privacy so he could change into his new clothes, he mumbled off a thanks before disappearing.

What ever happened to the Reid Effect? He thought. Typically, most kids and even some adults want to get as far away from him as possible, but not Aaron. Just as he was about to sit down, Morgan appeared at the doorway, his expression was grim. "Hey, Reid, we could really use your help right now."

"Okay, what is it?" He asked.

Derek sighed once before saying. "Another family's been killed."

To be continued, hopefully much quicker this time!
