Echos of a Genius | Spencer Reid

Fisher King

Stephie

"I can't imagine what two weeks away from this place is gonna feel like," Elle throws a file down as we all finish up our final day at work before our vacation time begins. Spencer's been acting weird, I told him we should go somewhere and he kind of just blew me off. Later he confessed he's going back to Las Vegas, where he grew up, to visit his mom.

"I am not answering my cell phone." Derek holds his coffee in the air and Spencer walks into the room rather fast, like he's in a rush.

"Oh, there he is. Pretty-boy." Derek stands up and walks towards Spencers desk, which is next to mine. He pauses in between the words pretty boy and it makes me giggle.

"Last chance, I can get my man to swing you a hotel room for practically nothing, even you might get a little lovin out there." Derek teases him and I feel my body tense, Spencer shoots his eyes at me briefly and I just stare at the group in front of me.

Please don't notice.

"I have to go, I'm going home." Spencer practically talks to the ground as he grabs his bag and leaves the office, Elle and Derek both look at me.

"How I'd be if I were going home for two weeks," I shrug and Derek shakes his head.

"You know that's not what I was gonna ask, what is going on with you two?" He looks to Elle. "Did you see the way he looked at Stephie when I mentioned he just might get a little lovin?" Elle nods her head with a grin on her face.

"There is nothing going on Derek," I chuckle and he points at me with a smirk on his face.

"You dirty dog. I knew it."

I point back at him. "Me a dirty dog?" I scoff and glare at Derek.

"Whore, whore, whore. I chant three times in the mirror." I widen my eyes at Derek, then at Elle. "Then he appears behind me, Derek Morgan." Derek smacks the back of head lightly and tells me to mind my business.

"That was a good one," Elle is about in tears with how hard she is laughing.

"336 hours with my family, Hailey has a list of chores of for me to complete about a mile long and my biggest decision is which one I'm gonna do first." Hotch is super super smiley when he comes out of his office.

"I'll be lost in a vain in the woods for the next two weeks, do not call me for anything. Have a great time you all deserve a break!" Gideon is rushing out behind Hotch. Elle, Derek, and I look at each other and giggle like a bunch of kids.

"Seriously, don't- don't call." Gideon says again as he races out the office doors.

"Well that's my que," I stand up and grab my bag telling Elle and Derek to have a good time in Jamaica.

I walk out the doors calmly but basically race out once body can see me, Spencer's car is still sitting in the parking lot, we may not be spending our time off together, like at all, but he's still taking me home. His flight isn't for another 5 hours.

"Hi pretty boy," I mimic Derek from when he was teasing Spencer just ten minutes ago. I say it a little differently though, when I say it Spencer goes red.

"I wish you'd let me go with you." I sigh and Spencer forces a smile, he's acting werid.

"It'll be boring, plus aren't you using this time to go through your room and redo it?" I nod my head when he talks. I really do need to get that done, and these two weeks are going to be my time to go through everything and redecorate.

"When are you leaving for the airport?" I ask as we pull onto my street, Spencer looks at the clock in his car.

"About an hour, i'm heading to the airport right now." He gestures to the bags in the bag of the car.
