My First Love [Spencer Reid Fanfic - 1]

Chapter 49 - Scared to Death

"He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still." - Lao Tzu

Spencer slept on my bed last night, fully clothed. It's been almost a week since we decided to move forward with our relationship and we were still trying to figure out how to proceed. I was happier than ever to be perfectly honest.

"Spence, wake up." I kissed his forehead and his eyes fluttered open.

"What time is it?" He asked, his voice groggy from waking up.

I handed him a cup of coffee and smiled. "You still have time to go home, take a shower and change."

He grabbed the cup of coffee and gave me a cheeky smile. "So how is it going to be from now on?" He asked before taking a sip.

"Well..." I sat next to him on the bed. "We're boyfriend and girlfriend, that's settled."

"I agree." Spencer nodded.

"But I'm not ready to expose our relationship to the entire team." I sighed. "And it's not because of Strauss. I just feel like they're going to make a big deal out of it and tease us relentlessly. We don't need that kind of pressure."

Spencer placed his coffee on the nightstand and leaned in to kiss me. "As long as we're together, I don't care about anything else."

I smiled and kissed his soft lips. "Now get your cute butt out of here so we can go to work." I hit him in the butt and giggled, causing him to laugh. His laughter was adorable and I couldn't believe Spencer Reid was my boyfriend now.

"Jenny Whitman was found in a wooden area, along with several other bodies, in Portland." JJ informed us.

"Are the victims connected?" Emily asked.

JJ shook her head. "Jenny had just moved to Portland and didn't have any friends."

"How did they meet the unsub?" I questioned.

"Perhaps it was through work or places both frequented." Spencer suggested and I winked at him discreetly.

Morgan glanced at the both of us. "Maybe the unsub is targeting a specific type of victims." He suggested with a smirk.

Hotch nodded and motioned for us to leave. "Porter, I would like to speak to you after we get back." He warned me and I nodded. Hotch wanted to discuss Gideon's resignation, I'm sure.

"Pretty Boy was about to tell me what's going on between you two." Morgan teased and I snickered.

I glanced at Spencer. "What was he going to tell you if there's nothing to tell?"

"I'm going to find out." Morgan shouted as Spencer and I went to our desks, laughing at Morgan's attempt to catch us in a lie.

A woman reported a young man's disappearance and Spencer, Morgan and Hotch went to his apartment. His name was Patrick Walker.

I stared at the white board. My mind was stumped at the moment. "I got the autopsy's reports." Emily announced and I grinned widely. This would be enough to shed some light on the random kills.

"There are various MOs." I narrowed my eyes as nothing made sense.

"Maybe these victims weren't killed by the same unsub." Emily suggested with uncertainty.
