The Other Reid

Chapter 11

BLAKES POV

 As we approach the room everyone is in shock it is one thing to be told its their friend another to actually see him as everyone is just staring he was in a room built especially for the FBI it was like an interrogation room with a one way mirror but instead of a table it was a hospital bed just then I heard the familiar sound of high heels clicking in a determined way as Garcia rounded the corner speaking up when she came into view "Did you catch the man that took our boy genius away from us" she tried to look into the room but Morgan blocked her view "Baby girl we didn't find the man who took Reid"

"Then who is in the room" Morgan sighed and moved to the side so she could see inside she gasped and exclaimed "Why is he in their handcuffed to a hospital bed instead of out here hugging me" it was Hotch to speak up this time "He was less than co-operative" he said this gesturing towards my already forming black eye "Oh my god Reid did that" Garcia said walking over to me and looking at my eye "What happened out there how did this" She gestured to me standing there and him in the room "Happen" Morgan starts to tell her everything that happen all the while she is looking at Reid in shock when he is finished I decide to speak "Maybe I should go in I mean you all have a connection with in and he knows you all too well"

"Good idea" so I entered to room and he flinched instinctively but didn't look up from his lap he was sitting cross legged in the middle of the hospital bed he looks completely normal not like a man how just got shot "Hello my name is Alex Blake"

"Doctor" he said which confused me "I'm sorry"

"Your name is Dr Alex Blake"

"Yes it is how..." but before I could continue he cut in "They sent you in because they know me and I know them so you decided since I didn't know you it would be a good idea but I do know you, your name is Dr Alex Blake you have a husband James Blake a professor at Harvard University however before that he was a member of Médecins Sans Frontières also know as doctors without boarders, you have two brothers Scott and Danny Miller, Danny was a cop who died in the line of fire you also had a son Ethan Blake who died at the age of nine from a neurological disease you joined the FBI when you were 24 and you joined the BAU to restore your reputation after you were blamed for arresting the wrong suspect in the Amerithrax case and Erin Strauss let you take the fall so you see you do not have an advantage over me I have an advantage over you" I was shocked and I'm pretty sure my face showed it the whole time he was speaking he didn't look up he just stared at his lap and said this all with no emotion in his voice I recomposed myself and decided it was time a lead this interrogation "How do you know so much about me I mean this is the second time we've met and the first we didn't get off to a very good start"

"Spencer Reid may be dead but the part of him that looks out for his friends isn't so I looked you up and made sure you would not hurt his team and that you could be trusted"

"And did I pass your test" he looked up at me with a genuine smile although I could see the bruises and cuts on his face that previously had been hidden by his hair that draped over his face "Yes" and then he looked back down at his lap again I pull up a chair by the side of the bed and speak to him again "Where have you been Dr Reid I mean 5 years is a long time to be away where have you been" he stayed silent not looking up like he didn't even register the words "I mean if I went to the trouble of looking someone up to protect the people I love then I would want their help but you seem to have had no contact with them at all" He still remained silent so I decided he wasn't going to tell me anymore and left the room
