Counting Stars (A Spencer Reid Story) (Completed)

Chapter Twenty-Four

*Next day*

*Lilly's P.O.V*

I woke up on a bed. I looked around. I tried to move, but I couldn't. I looked up to see I was tied up. Where the hell was I? Was this all a dream? Oh my god, my head is pounding. How much did I drink last night? I laid my head back. Oh, the pounding hurts. I never drank in a while. Maybe when I eighteen I drank. My friends pressured me into drinking so I did. The next day I regret it. I groaned at the pounding. Kids, this is why your shouldn't drink. Soon I heard a voice.

"Lilly. Quiet down. You're going to hurt your head more," The voice says. I couldn't see a face but the voice sounded familiar. Soon there was water in front of me and some Advil. "Here these will help," he popped them into my mouth. He put the cup up to my mouth and I took a drink of water to bring down the Advil. Soon he got up. "I'll be back later to see how you are feeling." Before he walks out I knew who he was.

"Jason?" I asked him. I could see the smirk on his face as he walked out the door.

*Spencer's P.O.V*

We all got to the police station. I didn't get any sleep the night before. I grabbed a coffee before I went to work. I sat in the desk chair thinking. I didn't even bother to even listen in. I was too busy worrying about Lilly. Soon Morgan got my attention.

"Spencer," He says. I looked up. "Are you OK?" 

"Uh yeah. Just peachy," I say giving him a half-smile. He could see that I wasn't fine at all. Soon he pulled me into one of the offices.

"Kid you gotta stop acting like this. We will find her," He says.

"But what if we don't? What if I lose her? I never even got to tell her how I felt about her," I say looking down. It was like losing Maeve all over again. I am so worried I will lose my best friend and someone I really like.

"We will find her. I promise you. And this guy is going to hell for this," He says. I looked at him. He gave me a rescuing smile, but nothing that could tell me she was still alive. I sighed and walked out the door. I sat down in the chair. The team looked at me. I was not myself. I was lost without my best friend. She was the one who picked me up when I was down when I need a laugh, or even when I needed to talk. And right now this was one of the moments I needed someone to talk to. 

*An Hour*

*Lilly's P.O.V*

I looked around. I noticed that I had just fallen asleep from the Advil I took. I looked across the room to see Jason sitting there.

"Well hello sleeping beauty," He says. He comes over and kisses me on the lips but I don't kiss him back. Soon he pulls away. "I thought you would never awake. I thought I would never see your beautiful eyes again." I never thought Jason was a creepo. I mean he was a nice guy when I met him as a pen pal in high school. After that, we just talked on the phone and laugh. Soon Skype came over and we started skyping. Yeah, I admit once he asked me out, but I said no. "You know I have planned a wonderful evening for us. I think you would like it. Don't you?" I didn't answer. "I'll take your silence as a yes. Get some rest love, it's going to be a long night." He kissed my forehead and left. I never thought that Jason, one of my good friends, would become a psycho at murdering people. I looked around and saw my phone. Wait. Why would he leave my phone?

*Spencer's P.O.V*

I watched the clock tick. I needed to focus, but I wasn't myself. Morgan and I were doing the profile.

"Morgan is there anything that stands out from this guy, that Lilly knew?" I asked him, hoping he would remember and hoping that this could help our case.

"What I can remember is that he had black hair, green eyes, and for some reason, he wore all black. Whenever he got nervous he would look down or even play with the plastic ring on his finger," He says. "Lilly and I were talking before this man walked up to us. He  said 'excuse me, but could I ask you something?'" 

"Anything in the accent?" I asked him.

"He sounded British. When I was about to haul off and hit the guy, Lilly told me he knew him. I think his name was Jason. It looked around five foot nine to six feet," He says. He scratched the back of his neck. "That is all I can remember."

"Wait, Jason?" I asked him.

"Yeah," He says.

"I remember Lilly telling me something of how she met a guy when they were pen pals. He asked her out once and she turned him down. She was only about twenty maybe, and she was already seeing Adam at that time," I say. He looks at me like 'How the hell do you know all of this.' "What Morgan I listen. I'm not cold." He smiles.

"What was his last name? Do you remember?" He asked me.

"Of course I remember. Morgan have you forgotten I have an eidetic memory?" I asked him. He smiles. "OK, OK, OK his name was Jason Cullen. Like the movie" Morgan looked at me again. "I didn't know what it was until I read the book and watched the movie. I don't like it. Not really my type." 

"OK I'll go call Garcia and find out where Jason lives," He says. I smile and he walks off.

Get ready Jason. We are coming after you. And this time I will save her.

Hehe, Jason Cullen. I had to.
