Red~ Spencer Reid

Part 7

It had been a few weeks since the Johnathan Waters case. I hadn't spoken to Derek since then, I was still annoyed. Spencer had tried to get me to talk to Derek but I told him I wasn't ready. We had been hanging out significantly more recently.

Ever since I spilled my awful past to him that one night we had become much closer than before.

"We got a case, round table in 5" Hotch said as he walked from his office to the meeting room.

I stood up and made my way to the briefing room but was stopped by Derek, he grabbed my wrist before I could get too far away. So I couldn't make a run for it. Excellent.

"We will talk Morgan now is not the time" I said, I could tell he was hurt that I called him Morgan, not Derek.

"It's not about that" He said.

"What is it then?" I said clearly sounding annoyed.

"The unsub in this case is, Adam Ferris" He said.

"What, Adam?" I said shocked.

"He was arrested for the kidnapping, rape and murder of three girls and a third one is still missing they have him in custody" He said.

"Holy shit" I said running my hands over my face, tears threatening to spill.

Adam was a complete and utter asshole whom I hated but I never thought he would be capable of this. Adam was an ex of mine. He was captain of the Lacrosse team and everyone loved him. Derek had already graduated but I was still in high school, He warned me about Adam but I didn't listen.

Derek was right he was using me so I dumped him, thank god I did.

"You don't have to come with us" Derek said.

"No I want to, Adam was awful I want to see him go to prison. He did awful things to me I want him to pay" I said.

" What awful things?" Derek asked.

"Nothing" I replied hastily not wanting to talk about it.

Derek nodded in understanding and made his way to the briefing room.

"Wait Derek" I called out.

He spun around.

"I'm still mad at you but I get it you were young and scared and didn't know what to do you just should've told me" I sighed.

"I'm sorry" Derek said.

"I know I can't stay mad at you forever I already lost her I can't lose you too, " I replied giving him a weak smile, Derek replied with a sad smile

I couldn't stay mad at him forever. Our relationship wasnt fully repaired but it was as good as it could be in a situation like this. We headed into the briefing room. JJ went over the details of the case but I wasn't really listening. I was in shock. Someone that I used to date someone that I used to love murdered and raped three girls.

"We need to get there, Wheels up" Hotch announced snapping me out of my thoughts.

I stood up and followed everyone out. I grabbed my go bag and followed everyone out.

"Hey are you alright?" Spencer asked.

"Yeah, it's just the unsub. I know him well used to" I said.

"We used to date" I sighed.

"Oh" Spencer replied.

"Did you ever think he was capable of doing things like this?" Spenecer asked.

"He was horrible, but this is just crazy. I mean he's done things bad things but this just seems too intense for him" I said.

"Y/n did he do something to you?" Spencer asked holding me shoulder.

The rest of the team kept on walking not noticing that Spencer and I had stopped walking.

"Spencer it was years ago" I said.

"That doesn't matter did he?" Spencer asked, I nodded slowly.

"We never actually, ya know. But he would always touch me or try force me on him that's why we broke up" I said.

"I'm so sorry" Spencer said bringing me into his chest wrapping his arms around me.

I hugged him back burying my head into the crook of his neck. I wouldn't be lying if I said I wasn't absolutely terrified to see Adam. I was already scared enough before he went and tortured woman.

"You know you can step out of this case" Spencer said.

"No I want to see this bastard get what he deserves" I replied.

Spencer nodded and pulled away offering me a weak smile, to which I returned. We arrived at the jet after the others earning a few weird looks.

I took my usual seat next to Spencer around the back of the plane. It was normal now I would sit next to him while he read or we would just talk.

I rested my head against Spencer's shoulder as he opened his book up. It was going to be a long flight and I definitely wanted some rest before encountering Adam.

"If your going to try get sleep, sleeping on my shoulder won't be very comfortable, you'll wake with a sore neck" Spencer said not looking up from his book.

I groaned and lifted my head up from his shoulder.

"Could I rest my head in your lap?" I asked sheepishly.

"Uh yeah sure" Spencer asked a small smile appearing on his face.

"Only because if I had my head on the otherside the noise would be too loud" I defended.

"It's fine" Spencer chuckled.

I rested my head on Spencer's lap and closed my eyes. I felt Spencer reach down and start playing with my hair. I didn't object it honestly felt quite nice.

"Is this alright?" Spencer asked nervously.

His nervousness was absolutely adorable.

"It's fine Spencer I enjoy it" I replied.

He continued to play with my hair as I drifted off to sleep. We were probably getting many odd looks from the rest of the team but I didn't really care.
