My First Love [Spencer Reid Fanfic - 1]

Chapter 58 - 3rd Life

"No man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without enemies." - Daisy Bates

Spencer and I were driving to Quantico that morning. "Do you think Garcia is going to tell the others?" My boyfriend asked while playing with a Rubik's cube.

"She promised she wouldn't." I eyed him through the corner of my eye.

"Would it be so bad if everyone knew? I mean, we've been dating for almost a year now." He looked at me with his adorable hazel eyes.

I sighed. "You know how they are. They would tease us relentlessly and I'm not ready for it."

Spencer solved the cube in record time and tossed it to the backseat. "It's getting hard to pretend you're not my girlfriend. Every time I see you, I just wanna kiss you and I wanna compliment you in front of everyone because you're so damn great."

"Spence, I feel bad about it, believe me, but I don't wanna lose my job." I explained.

"Why would you lose your job?" He asked softly.

I parked the car after we arrived at the headquarter's parking lot. "If Strauss finds out she's going to transfer me. The BAU can't afford to lose you."

Spencer grabbed my hand and kissed it gently. "Strauss knows you're valuable. She would never remove you from the team."

"Can we talk about it later?" I asked, exhausted about this whole subject.

"Sure." He got off the car, clearly upset. "Are you sure you wanna be seen with me?"

"Spence..." I took a deep breath and followed my pissed off boyfriend. Was he right? Maybe I was overreacting.

We arrived at the conference room and Spencer took a seat next to Morgan instead of me. He was determined to punish me for hiding our relationship.

"We're going to Chula Vista, California." Hotch announced.

"What's in Chula Vista?" I asked and Spencer scoffed, making Morgan slightly confused.

JJ started to present the case. "Two girls were abducted from a movie theater last night. Their names are Katie Owen and Lindsey Vaughn."

"Nobody saw anything?" Emily asked.

Hotch shook his head. "No. We have to assume they're alive so this is a rescuing mission."

Rossi nodded. "So we're racing against the clock."

"Exactly. Wheels up in 20."

I waited until everyone left and grabbed Spencer's arm. "Are you really going to be mad at me?"

Spencer sighed loudly. "Cassie, right now I need to be away from you. Please." He grabbed his satchel and left me alone. I guess he's really going to ignore me. It was our first fight though.

When we arrived in Chula Vista, Hotch gathered us and assigned tasks. "Rossi, Morgan, Porter and Reid, I want you to go to Lindsey's house. The rest of us will talk to the Owens."

"Alright, boss." I winked at him and he rolled his eyes. I swear, sometimes it feels like Hotch is done with my remarks and it makes me laugh.

Rossi drove us to the Vaughn residence. It was a nice neighborhood. When we arrived, Jack Vaughn was distraught in the living room.
