can't help falling in love- spencer reid

forty four

evelyn groans as her alarm blares through the room, spencer laughing as she turned it off. "what are you laughing at?" she said defensively as she sat up, rubbing her eyes. spencer, of course, was already up and about, drying off his hair from the shower he had just taken. "you." he says simply, changing into his clothes for the day. "you're lucky i love you or i'd beat the shit out of you." evelyn replies, spencer walking over to her, hovering over her and loosely wrapping a hand around her throat. "you'd beat the shit out of me, hm?" he said lowly, slightly teasing her. evelyn didn't speak. "or are you just saying you would?" he asked as he slightly tighten his grip. evelyn still didn't say anything. "huh?" he says assertively. "i just said it." she mumbles. "speak louder, princess." spencer says. "i just said it." evelyn said, loud enough to hear. "good." spencer whispers in her ear, kissing her softly before pulling away as if nothing had happened. "you're such a tease." evelyn complained. "definitely not." spencer laughs as he walks downstairs.

later that night

the heavy metal door clangs open, spencer and some other fbi agent walk through. their weapons cock as they walk down the hallway, looking for a certain room. "search is clear." one of them says. "hold." one says as they approach the door. a camera is then inserted under the door, the camera moving around so they could see inside. "all right, hold it. back up." spencer says as he sees something on the camera. "we got a body." a man says. "open it." spencer says. the door is then cut open and they go inside, clearing the room, revealing the body to be a fellow fbi agent. "still warm, this kill is fresh." the man says. "owen." spencer says in disbelief. "you know this guy?" the man asks. spencer doesn't answer and walks out. "hey." emily says as she walked up to spencer once they were outside. "we were too late." spencer replies. "we tried. now we need to tell the team." she replies. "get off me!" a man's voice suddenly exclaimed. emily and spencer rush over, seeing owen was still very much alive and was now holding an EMT at knifepoint. "owen!" spencer says. "owen, wait." "no no no no no. this man is in the job." emily says. "fbi special agent owen quinn, badge number 2310-niner-5. owen look at me." spencer continues. "reid?" owen says, recognizing him. spencer nods. "prentiss." "yes. you're safe now owen, you're home." emily says, owen letting go of his hostage. "how long?" he asks. "don't worry about that right now, we need to make sure that you're ok." spencer says. "what year is it?" owen asks. "it's 2018." that seemed to trigger something in owen, because he brought the scalpel to his throat. "no!" emily exclaims as her and spencer pry it away from him. "you're safe, you're safe now" "i'm not! no i'm not!"

"who remembers this agent?" emily asks. "i do not." matt says. that agent owen quinn. he worked here until he quit a year ago." penelope says. "he worked in the violent crimes apprehension program on the 5th floor, but he aspired to be a profiler." evelyn said. "so why'd he quit?" "he was convinced there was an unsub we missed working up and down the northeast corridor. he named him "the strangler."" luke explains. "naming the unsub that's exactly what we don't do." "that wasn't his only mistake." "yea, we reviewed his report." tara stated, going on to explain the report. "so how'd we find him in the storage unit?" matt asks. "i got an email." "he got an email." evelyn and spencer say at the same time. "you hate email." "i do. i was even more surprised when i saw that it was an anonymous sender. garcia then displayed the email. "that's quinn's fbi badge." "that's a big piece of bait." "i mean the unsub knows we have to take it." "someone left us breadcrumbs to a former federal agent, who sure as hell looked dead." evelyn pipes up. they all continued to talk before dismissing. "hey tell me not to worry." evelyn said as she filled spencer out. "about what?" spencer says. "you got an email." "you were with me when i got it." "yea but i was half asleep because the brightness of the computer woke me up. i could've come with you. and why go in the middle of the night?" evelyn exclaims quietly. "spencer, you're keeping secrets." evelyn says, playing with his shirt, obviously worried. "and when that happens i get nervous. the last time..." she says, not looking at him. "i went to prison for a murder i didn't commit." spencer finished for her. "yeah." evelyn says, nodding. "so, tell me not to worry." "evelyn-" spencer sighs before continuing, evelyn looking up at him. "whoever did this wanted me to find quinn, an i needed to know why." "do you even know him that well?" "no. i mean, i've seen him in the building occasionally, but that just made the whole thing weirder. so, i told prentiss that i needed and exigency circumstances exemption to the sabbatical. she made it happen, and... now you know everything." spencer explained, sounding slightly annoyed with her. "everything?" evelyn asked, raising an eyebrow, which made spencer sigh and put a hand on her shoulder. "everything." spencer says softly. evelyn nods. "all right." she sighs. spencer kissed her quickly to reassure her before leaving to interview quinn.

"unfortunately, i don't think i'm gonna be able to make it tonight." spencer says as a smiling evelyn comes up to him. her smile fades as he speaks. "tell me not to worry." she says, playing with his shirt again. "don't. i'm good. i'm really good. i'd tell you if i wasn't." he says, kissing her cheek. "ok. well..." she sighs, a small smile growing on her face. "it's not a family without you there." "i know. there's another family that could use my help right now." spencer replies. "ah." evelyn says as spencer pulls her into a tight hug. "what's this for?" she asks, although she didn't hesitate to hug him back. "it's for all the times you worried about me. i never said thank you." spencer says. "thank you." "you're welcome." evelyn smiles as he pulls away. "and this is because i love you." spencer says, kissing
her softly. "well i love you too." she smiles before they parted ways.

......

"all right, i'll call spence and garcia." evelyn says, calling penelope. "guys we need to get back to quantico right now." emily says to the group. 
"oh, wait! uh...." penelope exclaims to meadows who was in the elevator with owen. suddenly one of her phones start ringing, getting the call from evelyn. "not this phone, not this phone, this phone. evelyn? i'm am on the way." she exclaims happily. "argh lost her. so i will text. 'evelyn, i'm only way.'" "i knew you didn't do it. i just knew." meadows says, turning to owen. "and i can't tell you what a privilege it's been working with the A-team in this case. ""A-team"? ohh... A-team." penelope replies. penelope's phone beeps, a text from evelyn. "and owen, if we time this right, you might actually get out of here before the sunrise." "draw your gun." penelope says, her face going pale. "what?" "draw your gun!" penelope yells. spencer's phone then rings, evelyn now calling him. "hey evelyn, what's up?" spencer says. suddenly a gunshot goes off. "what was that?" shane asks. "stay here." spencer says, rushing out of the room and to the parking garage. "put your hands up, quinn!" spencer exclaims, quinn removing his hand from his gunshot wound and putting them up. "what happened?" "it's her." "what?" "she's one of them." "drop your gun, agent reid." meadows says as she comes around the corner, gun pointed at spencer. spencer turns and aims at her. "it's been you the whole time." "yes, it was. quinn somehow figured it out first. pity having to shoot him, but he can't give me what i want, and you can." she explains. "what's that?" "you and i are gonna go upstairs and free my messiah.l" "you're in the heart of the fbi. as soon as the rest of my team figured out it's you, you'll be dead before you're out the door." "then we need to work quickly." "i'm not cooperating with you. might as well shoot me." "i have a better idea." meadows smirks as tires screech, a car pulling up, penelope in the back being held at gunpoint. "now, what's it gonna be ? because you can either join us, or she dies." "spencer, just shoot her! shoot her!" penelope exclaims.
