The time of the zodiac

Chapter 7

Reid's Pov-
I was worried. The team tells me not to worry, but what is guy to do when his best friend is kidnapped. If your best friend was kidnapped would you be anything but worried and upset? If so please tell me so.

It has been 3 days now. For all I know he could be hurt, or worse even dead. The team justs acts like nothing happened, but I guess people handle grief in different ways.

Not grief, I scolded myself. He's not dead, he's just missing. Even if someone tells us he's dead. He's not dead, just missing till we find his body. I told myself again.

There will be no body, I scolded myself again. I will find Derek Morgan, alive. Even it's the last thing I do. Though I don't expect it to go that far. Considering it is a bit of a morbid thought.

I can only imagine what Morgan would say.

Now pretty boy stop using fancy words, and come kick this guys ass for me.

I chuckled at the thought. I abruptly taken from my thoughts, by someone shaking my shoulders. I looked up. It was Rossi. "What?" I asked annoyed, from being taken out of my little paradise.

"What's wrong?" Rossi asked. "Nothing, just thinking of some...ah memories. Why do you ask?" I asked confused.

"Your face went from blank, to worried, to amused, to happy, and is now annoyed." Kate stated. I groaned "as I said before I was thinking."

They all looked at each other. It was if they were having a silent debate. Then they all nodded and looked at me.

I started to back up.

They followed me.

My eyes darted back and forth.

Just as fast as I had started backing up, I reached a wall. JJ laid a hand on my shoulder. "Now Spence, I know we all are upset about Morgan. But your taking it to far." She finished.

I was now mad.

How dare they accuse me of taking this to far.

They're not taking it far enough.

I scoffed. I voiced my thoughts exactly. "Why don't you take a couple days off, to get your mind off things?" Hotch questioned.

I thought for a minute, then came up with a plan. I nodded. Their eyes widened. "Really?" They asked. Clearly they thought I would say no.

"Really" I smiled. Then they shocked me, they hugged me. "See you in a few days spence. I have my phone if you need anything." JJ told me. "Take as long as you need." Hotch added.

I gave them my thanks, gathered my things, and left. To go home for a couple days, or so they thought.

I wouldn't just sit back, and watch. As who knows what is happening to my friend. While they think I'm relaxing. I would be carrying out my plan.

~>A day later<~
I called Hotch. "So soon?" He questioned. "No," I laughed. "I was wondering if I could talk to Lauren for a bit?" I finished.

The other line was quiet for a minute, him thinking I'm guessing. "Yeah, I guess that would be ok, here's her number." I mentally sighed in relief, my plan would work.

"Reid, you still there?" He questioned. "Yeah, thanks for the help." I told him. "No problem, see you in a few days." He said. We exchanged goodbyes, and hung up.

I typed in Lauren's number, and hit call.

"Hello, this is Lauren Williams. May I ask who is speaking?" Lauren said. "This is agent Spencer Reid, remember me?" I said. "Oh yeah, I remember now. What do you need?" She asked.

"Can you find a way to contact who took my coworker?" I asked. "Uh yeah, I think he called. We got the number down." she said. "Wait they called and I didn't know. You also got a number" I asked skeptically.

"Yeah, it was from a stolen phone. They still can't be found. As to the last question I don't know why they didn't tell you. I can give you the number if you want."

"Yes, could you?" I asked. "Ok, the number is (insert random number)." She told me. "Thanks, could you not mention this to the team?" I asked. "Uh..unusual request but I guess so. Is that all?" She questioned. "Yeah thanks, bye" I hung up.

I called the number. Someone picked up "who is it, and why are you calling" they asked in a monotone voice. "This is agent Spencer Reid. I called to offer a deal." I could sense they perked up a bit on the other side.

"A deal you say, well what is it?"

~>Morgan's Pov<~
I was lost in thoughts. Imagining how Reid was taking this, if they knew. Then I face mentally slapped myself. Of course they knew. They probably figured it out pretty quickly too.

I was taken out of my thoughts from Morte marching in. "Well looks like your getting out of here alive." He said. I gave him a confused look.

"One of your little friends made a deal with me. Them for you."
