The Other Reid

Chapter 9

REIDS POV

Ok that is something I didn't know I start to panic now they came in through the door my old team despite how good it was to see them again this wasn't the circumstances I was hoping for they were going to arrest me and that would not end well but I had to try and get out so I kept up the act and stared to try and reason with Hotch as he was yelling commands the people in the shop were terrified and I don't blame them as 5 FBI agents were pointing guns at me I had to speak up to try and get them to stop "You don't want to do this like I said to Agent Morgan this will only end badly" it was Hotch who replied "Remove the hood and sunglasses so we can talk"

"I'm afraid I can't do that"

"And why would that be"

"Because you are going to let me go and everything will be alright no one will get hurt" this time Morgan responded "You keep saying that bad things will happen but making no threats"

"I'm not trying to make a threat I am trying to warn you" I was getting nowhere with them and I was unarmed this is only going to end in me getting arrested so I decided to take a last resort "If you want to bring me in shoot me" again it was Hotch who replied in the patronising tone he uses when speaking to an UNSUB "We don't want to hurt you we just want you to come in quietly and tell us what you know about Spencer Reid"

"I know he is dead"

"Now we both know that is not true where are you holding him"

"Nowhere I am not holding him because he is dead who would want to hold an FBI agent for 5 years anyway" this time JJ responded "I don't know you tell me" I now realised what they are doing so in an instant with no warning I swing my fist and body round and hit Alex in the face I wouldn't usually do this but I realised their plan was to distract me so that Alex could get behind me and arrest me in the moment it took her to recover I grabbed the gun she dropped in confusion and got behind her aiming the gun at her head I have absolutely no intention of shooting her but they don't know that the guns that were relaxed a second ago are immediately raised again but they can't get a shot as I am standing behind Alex, Hotch once again speaks up trying to defuse the situation "Ok lets just talk about this put the gun down" I glance at the clock and see it is 5:00 if I don't leave now it will be Dylan I need to worry about not the team "I am done talking I need to leave"

"Why do you need to leave you don't want to" he is trying to get inside my head use my words against me and I finally realise there is only one way out of this situation I take to gun away form Alex and point it at my body and fire
