'Thank god the case is over. I can't sleep when working.'
I collapsed on my bed and began to unwind, when there was a knock at my room.
"Who is it?!"
"Spencer."
"It's open!"
I heard the door open and close before there was silence.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah. My body aches, man I am damaged." I told before hearing him walk over and sit next to me on the bed.
"Ash do you know what those meetings are for?" He asked
"Yes." I told as I sat up and looked him in the face to see he had hurt mixed with worry on his face.
"How long have you known?"
"Since I saw you again. Grated it took till I wasn't dying for my brain to piece it together but I got there in the end. Spence, you know I know what people look like when they are doing drugs or are recovering from them."
"And you didn't tell me?"
"You didn't want me to know, hence you not telling me. So I decided to keep it to myself till you were ready to tell me, if you ever were."
"Why?"
"Because I care for you. You didn't want me to know so I respected that wish."
"But there are multiple places for those meetings Ash."
"And you were only at one of them."
"How did you know I was there?" He asked me
"I couldn't get ahold of you one time and I got really worried so I may have hacked into you phone to figure out your location."
"How many times have you done that?"
"You don't want to know. I will add, I haven't done it a lot since I got a phone and began to work with you."
"Did you do it on that case?" He asked and I gave a small nod.
"Yes."
"You were the anonymous phone call."
"Oh wow yeah. Guess you wouldn't have known that."
"Not even they could find me at first."
"Spencer you know I work differently then other people. What they couldn't do, ....I could."
"How did you find me Ash?"
"I don't want to tell you because then you will hate me and I don't want that. I don't want you to hate me, I don't want to lose you."
"Ash I wouldn't hate you. I know how you are with the people you care for. I would just like to know."
"Pass me the watch I got for you when we got accepted into the academy." I told
He pulled the pocket watch out of his pocket and handed it to me. I quickly got to work in getting the face off to reveal a small tracker that was inside it.
"You put a tracker in the watch you gave me?" He asked and I couldn't look him in the eyes.
"I didn't like the thought of me not being able to find you. I can find things and people.... but I'm terrified that I wouldn't be able to find you. That I can never find you, so I put a tracker in it. I can take it out if you don't want it there."
"Ash. I'm fine with it staying in there." He told making me look towards him.
"You are?"
"Yes. Because it makes you feel better in knowing you can find me." He told giving me a small smile.
"I only use it if I can't get ahold of you." I stated as I put it back to normal.
"Are there others?" He asked
"If I'm being honest. Yes there is."
"Ash."
"Safety Spencer."
"Where else did you hide one?"
"The watch I got you." I told as I showed his watch.
"How are you so good at that?"
"Just am." I told as I took the back off to reveal the tracker.
"What's that symbol?" He asked as he took the back to see it.
"Anti-possession. So Demons can't posses you." I explained.
"Ash you know Demons don't exist."
"I don't know. My dad just might be one."
"Do you have one on something you wear?" He asked
"Kinda." I told
"What do you mean kinda?"
"I have one yes. It being on something I wear.... sorta. Depending on the persons thinking."
"Wanna explain?"
"Alright." I told as I took my jacket off and my shirt before pointing at the tattoo on my chest. "See. Kinda."
"These tattoos are new."
"Helps hide the arm situation."
"Do you hate me?" He suddenly asked making me give him a confused look.
"Why would I hate you?"
"You hate your father and he did or does drugs." He told making me grab his hand so he looked me in the eyes.
"I hate my father for a lot of reasons. You know that. I don't hate you for taking drugs Spencer, you were kidnapped and forced to take them. I hate myself for not being there to protect you and for not coming to see if you were ok."
"But you did protect me. You gave our team the anonymous tip, you helped protect me from dying in the graveyard." He told and I knew I was crying.
"I didn't know I possibly lost you like Mike." I told and he pulled me in to a hug. "I almost died in Washington last year."
"How?"
"There was a case. Angies team had this criminal and, I was taken with two of her coworkers. We thought we were going to die, before we were able to escape with the help of their team." I told making him hold me tighter.
"Does Shawn and Gus know?"
"Not all of it. I refuse to talk about what happened."
"That's fine. I'm here if you need me, as how your are for me. It's gonna be ok."
'We're gonna be ok. We are here for one another.'
