"Well you two don't look happy." Garcia commented with a smile as her favorite young male BAU agents walked past her.
"Mam-" Derek stopped himself and looked over at the man that had a crush on his.
Spencer gave him a look that said; "Really? You think I'll mind?" before continuing into the room that had been set up for them.
"Mamma, don't wanna talk about it right now." Morgan sighed before following after the genius.
She had noticed the slight pause and the shift in gaze, but decided to back track it until further notice. They all got to work on the case, hoping to catch some kind of trace.

Young Spencer was sitting in front of what held the highest amount of importance to him. It looked not much different from the three months before when he had been in the exact same position. Although so many things had changed, he loved that that was not one of them. He just looked at it; it had so much semblance of his life from only a few years previous. It astounded him how much things could change… more than anyone would probably think could change. It behooved him with how much he had had planned then for that time in his life. It had changed so much that he didn't even really feel connected to the him for the time that he was thinking of.
He had changed… and he wasn't sure if it had been for the best.

Reid looked down at his phone for the third time in a minute. His cousin hadn't texted him, even though the hour had changed twelve minutes ago. He knew he should have been focused on what everyone was talking about… but he was a worrier.
"You ok Pretty Boy?" Derek asked in a whisper, leaning over to the genius.
"Spencer was supposed to text me twelve minutes ago." He whispered back.
"Just go call him."
Elder Spencer opened his mouth to reply, but then wondered how he hadn't thought of that. He got up and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Hotch asked him.
The intellect turned around and pointed to the bathroom. Their leader nodded and went back to looking over the file in his hand. Doctor Reid smiled as he turned back around and hurried to the bathroom, it was a good thing that it wasn't common courtesy to go more in depth about a request such as that.
He closed the door behind him once he got into the bathroom and immediately speed dialed his cousin. It rang, and rang, and rang, then went to the voicemail.
"Konnichiwa, Rammu, Moshi Moshi, Bonjour, Ciao, Monui, and Hello. I apologize for not being able to take your call, but I am probably either making my cousin do fun stuff, or something super terrible has happened to me, hahahahaha, just kidding. Just leave your number, name, and any other distinguishing factors about yourself and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can. Zàijiàn, Kuutpoa, Sai-oh-nada, Au revoir, Addio, Valete, and Goodbye." The teen's voice said through the phone, it was obvious he was smiling.
Then the beep sounded and the doc went into panic mode. He hung up and quickly went back to the room where his team was. He grabbed his messenger bag and began leaving the room again.
"Reid, where are you going?" Aaron asked at the same time Morgan asked; "Pretty Boy, what's wrong?"
"He didn't text me and now he's not answering his phone. I need to go find him." Reid said, not turning around to look at them.
"Reid, you can't leave In the middle of a case." Their leader told them as Derek got up and walked towards him.
The genius did a quick about-face.
"You protect your family no matter what. This job is not worth his life. That may sound dramatic, but I don't care, I'm finding my cousin no matter what. You can punish me for it all you want; after I know he's safe." Older Spencer said seriously, looking at the second eldest of the team.
He turned back around again and started walking towards the exit once again.
"Pretty Boy, wait." Morgan commanded.
The male who was freaking out turned around again, expecting his crush to tell him to stay as well. The strong agent rushed forward.
"I'm going too, we can cover more ground with more people." The dark male told him. "I understand protecting family."
They started walking towards the exit again. Prentiss ran up and started walking with them.
"You guys are my family, I would protect you not matter what." She smiled.
Garcia rushed up as well.
"You know I'll always be there for you and Casanova." She smiled, then she turned around to the trio that was still in the room. "You guys need to stay here to work on the case. We'll be back soon."
With that, the four of them left, feeling oddly awesome over the fact that they were blatantly defying their leader.

Reid parked in front of the same place that he had when he had driven "Puck".
"Why are we-?" Emily started to ask.
"It'll get explained later." The genius said quickly before getting out of the car.
Everyone followed him.
"He's not gunna be there, we would have been able to see him, let's go this way." He said, pointing to the other side of the street.
His colleagues were confused, but did as he said. They knew all would be revealed eventually… it usually did.

After just ten minutes of searching, the quartet found the teen they were looking for. Young Spencer had a bouquet of red roses in his hand.
"Spencer!" The intellect exclaimed rushing up to him.
"What are you guys doing here?" "Puck" asked confused, seeing all of them look relieved to see him.
"You didn't text me when you said you would, then you didn't answer when I called."
"I went to get these. I must not have seen the time and I can't feel my phone vibrating in my pocket. You know I'm fine, can you leave now?"
It was clear that the youngest didn't want them knowing what he was doing there. His cousin completely understood.
"Um, yea, sorry. We should be getting back anyway, Hotch seemed pretty mad when we left." Older Reid nodded, scratching the back of his neck nervously.
He understood his cousin and the secrecy he needed on this subject, he should have thought about that before letting everyone come along to find the young boy.
"I'm not going anywhere until you tell me why we're parked in front of that." Emily said pointing to the car that could just be seen from where they were standing.
"Gorgeous, please, something needn't be talked about." Young Spencer said, walking past them but only looking at the ground.
It was unfortunate that he was only looking at the ground, because he didn't see the trio of boys in front of him. So he bumped into them. He looked up and his face got immediately half scared and half sad.
"Sorry." He said in a shocked tone.
The male he had actually run into looked at him. The boy was probably only about eighteen to nineteen years old with bright red hair. He was pretty beefy and he was wearing boring clothes, jeans and a blue T-shirt. The male got a mad look on his face.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" The elder teen asked madly, turning to look at the prostitute with only malice on his features.
"You know what day it is." Young Reid said quietly.
"Yea, but today wouldn't mean anything if you hadn't fucked everything up."
"I said I was sorry. I didn't mean for it to happen."
"But it did happen, because of you."
"I'm sorry, for the millionth time, I'm sorry." "Puck" looked about ready to cry.
"Sorry isn't good enough. It's your fault; I wish you would have just stayed out of this town!" The male began walking towards him ever so slowly, ever so menacingly.
"You know I would change it if I could." The youngest said, taking a slow, scared step back.
"I wish I could change it too, so that you never got a chance to fuck everything up!"
For ever slow menacing step the angry eighteen to nineteen year old took forward; the normally flamboyant male took a slow scared step back.
"I am sorry Austin, I am so sorry. I wish to everything I could change it, I wish this day was just another date on a calendar. Trust me, I wish it was."
"Why the fuck are you even in this state?!"
"I'm here helping my cousin."
"Whatever, get your cousin and just leave."
"Let's go." "Puck" said, turning around and gently urging the group of four farther away from their car.
As soon as they were far enough away from teen called Austin, Young Spencer walked through the group so he was leading it.
"What was that about?" Prentiss asked confused, walking a bit more quickly to be able to hear the sad boy.
"…I accidentally got his brother killed." Was all the teen said, very quietly, not looking at them as he kept walking.

So, I'm a little worried that people aren't connecting the things in here that should be connected. So if you connect something, please let me know so that I know that I'm writing this correctly.
