Alert
He'd just finished talking to his mother when he went outside to use his phone. She was right as always. He had to talk to him. He couldn't run from his problems he had to face them.
He'd been an idiot and he had to apologise. He closed his eyes and reopened them preparing to dial. He'd been so scared of getting hurt again he hadn't allowed himself to completely trust this relationship. He'd been waiting for the shoe to drop yet he'd been the one that dropped it.
Aaron wouldn't cheat! He wasn't that kind of man. He'd always been a gentleman to his girlfriends so of course he'd be a gentleman to him too. Yes it had cut like a knife when he saw him kissing another man but if he'd really watched closely he'd have seen of course Aaron didn't really want to it had just been the only way. The only way to have lured out their UnSub and prevented another body being found the next morning. He'd just been doing his god-damn job.
He went to dial the number cursing himself inside. He'd been such a bloody idiot! If only he'd spoken to Aaron about how it had hurt. If only he'd realised of course it was only for the job and it hadn't meant anything else. Instead he'd been a stupid child and closed him out then running away from him. He just hoped to God he hadn't done so much damage Aaron had closed the door on them.
He tried all three numbers but got no answers. He'd tried his work phone, his home phone and his mobile phone but Aaron hadn't answered any of them. Where was he? Why wasn't he answering? Aaron answered everybody no matter how badly you'd treated him. He'd seen that all those years ago when he'd pick up for Haley shortly after she'd just upped and left him.
Something was wrong. He could feel it in the pit of his stomach. Something just wasn't right. This wasn't like him. Fear started to enter his system as he freaked out about what might have happened.
He called Dave immediately. If anything had happened surely he'd know; he was his best friend. He knew for a fact Dave was still his emergency contact along with Jessica and he didn't want to worry her just know until there was something concrete.
"Rossi," Dave answered.
"Dave, have you any idea where Aaron is? I've tried his work phone, his home phone and his mobile. He hasn't answered any of them," he answered worried.
"I thought he was with you," he replied confused.
"Why would he be with me?"
"He ran to Las Vegas to see you this morning..."
He closed his eyes wanting to will the tears back. Aaron still loved him, there was no other reason he'd have run to Las Vegas when he'd found him gone than that, but now he was missing. Now he was missing and no-one had known what had happened to him. Was he in Las Vegas or Washington? Had his plane gone down?
His chest clenched. He couldn't lose him; he just couldn't. Life was nothing without him. He had to raise the alert. Aaron was missing and they needed to find him.
"I haven't seen him," he answered trying to swallow the lump in his throat. "He didn't answer his phone, Dave. You know that's not normal for him. He always answers his phone no matter who."
"Spencer, we'll find him."
He nodded then remembered Dave couldn't see him so he answered, "I know I'm just so scared. I've been such an idiot and I need to apologise to him. I broke his heart."
"Spencer, you'll get the chance to apologise. He loves you and knows you love him. Now listen to me. You have to stay strong for him. We'll search for him here but can you find out if he actually landed in Las Vegas?"
"Of course," he replied.
"We will find him Spencer and you're not alone."
"I know and thank you."
He hung up knowing he had to go about trying to find out if it was this end Aaron had gone missing on. He saw his mother's doctor looking at him concerned.
"Is everything alright, Spencer?" he asked. He'd known him for so long he felt like another father to him.
"My partner's missing. We had a huge fight and I took off without letting him speak to me. His best friend just told me he came after me but I haven't seen him and he's not answering his phone. I know he's missing because it's just not like him not to answer his phone especially in our line of work."
He looked at him concerned and a little shaken but answered, "I'm sure he's alright. I'm sure he'll be fine."
"Doctor, what aren't you telling me?" he asked worried.
He swallowed the lump in his throat and placed his hand on the young agent's shoulders. "One of our more dangerous patients escaped last week and there have been rumours of kidnaps taking place at the airport," he said gently.
Before he could get out another word Spencer turned on his heels and ran towards the airport shouting, "Don't tell my mother."
"I hope you find him, Spencer, I hope you find him," he muttered then went back to work.
