The BAU and IRT returned safely back to The Royale and with all of Sloane's thugs in custody, the IRT prepared to ship out and take them to the proper authorities for prosecution.

Alex paced back and forth a few feet from the dock obviously upset about something.

"Did you want to talk to him?" Reid asked as he walked up to her from behind.

"No," she shook her head. "I'm done with him."

"Alex," Reid grabbed onto her hand. "I think you should."

She looked up to him and gave a subtle nod. She then turned to see Garrett and Simmons about to head out with all the men in custody. "Wait up!" Alex called out as she rushed towards them.

"Did you forget something?" Simmons asked.

"Yes, I just need to have a word with Sloane."

"No problem," Garrett responded.

Alex approached the holding area where Sloane was seated and cuffed to the hook on the wall. He was slumped over and defeated. She had never seen him so vulnerable before, he was the man who always had whatever he wanted, a king. She only saw a pitiful excuse for a human being seated before her.

Sloane looked up as soon as he realized someone was in front of him. He chuckled to himself seeing that Alex who was there. "Come to give me a goodbye kiss?"

"I want you to know that whatever hypnotic control you seem to have on people doesn't work on me. You are no longer a part of my life, past, present, or future. When I step off this boat all memories of you will disappear and I will never think of you again. You are going to be held accountable for your crimes however it is far less than you deserve. I hope you rot in hell." Alex let out one last few breath then turned away from her worst enemy.

"Everything okay?" Garrett asked.

"Yes, everything is fine now," Alex smiled then took that big step from the boat and felt the world lift from her shoulders.

Reid leaned against the Jeep as he watched as Alex started walking towards him. He allowed himself to relax with his arms folded across his chest and a big cheesy grin. However, all that changed as soon as he heard a familiar voice.

"Oh Spencer!" A high pitched shrill rang out.

"Hi Aimee," Reid replied with a forced smile.

She rushed over and threw her arms around him. "I was so worried about you. I tried to find you after you saved my life and I was hoping I would be able to repay you in a very special way," she announced, attempting to be sexy.

Morgan and Garcia watched and chuckled while gathering the rest of the team to see how he would handle the situation. Alex steadily approached Reid while Aimee was literally hanging off of him.

Aimee placed her hand on Reid's chest while her other arm was around his waist. "So, I was thinking that we can go up to my room this afternoon then maybe take a moonlight swim in the ocean. There's a full moon tonight, wouldn't be romantic?"

"Um, yes, full moons are romantic," Reid stammered, "however-"

"Hello, Aimee," Alex greeted. She stood in front of them with her hands in her pockets and a devilish grin.

"Oh, hi Alex, I'm sorry but you are interrupting something," Aimee snooted.

"I do apologize. Spencer, what were you in the middle of?" Alex asked.

Reid turned to Aimee, "As I was saying, I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, but we are not going to be doing anything together."

"What?" Aimee was in utter shock.

Reid stood toe to toe with Alex and took her hands in his. "She and I will be together tonight, and every night," he stared in her eyes.

Alex scrunched her eyebrows. "What are you saying?"

"I'm asking you what I should have years ago, what I knew deep in my heart when we were in Greece. I love you, Alex and I want to spend the rest of my life with you," Reid proudly announced.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you, too," Alex beamed.

Reid lightly touched her face then they kissed while the BAU stood close by and applauded. Aimee stormed away from the group and pushed past the strangers who were gathering around to celebrate.

Reid turned to Hotch who was standing by to offer a handshake and a hug. "I think the team is going to need another vacation soon."

"Why's that?" Hotch asked.

"Because we are all coming back here for the wedding," Reid boasted.

Reid and Alex returned to their Paradise hotel to gather with friends and family for a special occasion.

There was a different vibe on the island now that Sloane was no longer controlling everything. The locals had a booming economy and there weren't any complaints about people vanishing; they had Reid, Alex and the rest of the team to thank for it.

Alex stood in front of her dressing mirror with Garica, JJ, and Prentiss nearby helping her to get ready. "I appreciate you being here for me," Alex admitted.

"We're the ones who are honored," JJ replied.

"Just think of it as being formally welcomed into the family," Prentiss grinned.

"Here it is," Garcia stood in the doorway holding the simple yet stunning gown over her arms.

Alex removed her robe and stood before them in her underwear.

"What happened to your tattoo?" Prentiss asked as she noticed the Roman numerals she had were covered up.

Alex pulled down the side of her panties a bit to show the whole thing. "I had it covered with the silhouette of Greece, it's a special place for Spencer and me."

"And where you're going on your honeymoon, if I'm not mistaken," JJ grinned.

"Yes, the first time we were pretending to be married and this time we will be."

Garcia moved the curtain aside from the window and looked down onto the beach. "People are starting to gather." She watched the few chairs that were arranged on the beach fill up as Reid was speaking to the minister.

Morgan adjusted his bowtie then stood alone next to Reid. "You sure about this?"

"Of course I am. I've never been so sure about anything in my life," Reid confidently spouted out.

"I know, it's just my duty as best man to make sure that I supply you with an out if you need one," he flaunted his pearly whites.

"I'm good, thanks," Reid chuckled. "I am a bit nervous though, I can admit that."

"Of what?"

"Tonight," Reid stated.

"Oh, because you think things are going to change now that you're going to be Mr. and Mrs. Boy Genius?"

"No, because we've never had sex before," Reid announced matter-of-factly.

"Say what?" Morgan asked just as the music started.

The congregation stood as Alex walked down the sandy aisle. The two stood before the minister and exchanged simple vows with each other. Then the moment happened, he said to kiss the bride. The crowd cheered as the married couple were ready to start their new adventure together.
