Protected (A Spencer Reid Fanfiction)

Chapter 9

I woke up to giggling.
I wasn't sure who it was.
I opened my eyes and then I heard footsteps running.
I sat up and looked around.
"I was probably just hearing things." I told myself.
I looked next to me and Kelly was still asleep.
She was in the same position as she was when she fell asleep.
I didn't want to wake her up.
I looked at the clock and saw that is was already 7:13.
I'm late.
I'm never late.
But I have never slept this good.
I had to get up and go.
I lifted her arm up and set it to her side.
I was super gentle and got her on her own.
I quietly got out of bed and I heard my front door slam.
I slowly grabbed my gun and got close to the door.
I peeked around the corner and saw nothing.
I kept searching and the outcome was that no one was in here.
I looked at my stuff.
Nothing was gone.
I quickly wrote a note for Kelly and left for work.
Kelly's POV
I woke up and Spencer was gone.
It was 8:37.
He's probably at work.
I sat up and remembered that last night I slept next to him.
I know he needed comforting.
I'm starting to wonder what else has happened to him...
If his life is more worse than what I have known.
I got up and went to the kitchen and saw a note.
Good morning! I had to go to work and I was a little late. Your free to come over here but just text me first my number is 702-555-0103.
I smiled at the note that he wrote me and then remembered that Spencer doesn't have food.
"I'll get ready and go to the office." I said to myself.
I went to my room and put on my white tight button up blouse and some shorts with a brown belt.
I straightened my hair and put makeup on.
Then I decided to text Spencer.
"Hey Spencer its Kelly and I was wondering when a good time would be to come over to the office. I'm not sure if I like staying by myself."
I sent the message and then sat on the couch.
Spencer's POV
I know it's not a good idea I left her there at my house but I had no other choice.
I opened the doors and saw everyone sitting in the lounging area.
They were all on their phones laughing and looking at something.
When I fully entered the room everyone turned their attention to me.
"Hey lover boy." Garcia said.
I waved and sat in an empty seat.
"It's very odd that your late Reid." Hotch said suspiciously.
"Sorry everyone it won't happen again." I said standing up.
I want to leave the scene before they get too questiony.
Right before I entered my office Emily asked me the question I hoped no one asked.
"Why were you late Reid?"
I slowly turned around.
"I uh slept in is all." I said trying to lie.
I'm a terrible liar.
"More like slept in isn't all! Were you up late? What were you doing that caused you to sleep in?" Garcia asked.
"I just slept good. Now what about that case we are going to work on." I said trying to change the subject.
Rossi pulled out a file.
"Let's work on Kelly's." He said looking at me.
I ignored his reference to her and started looking at the pictures.
Then my phone buzzed.
It was from Kelly.
Hey Spencer its Kelly and I was wondering when a good time would be to come over to the office. I'm not sure if I like staying by myself.
Oh no.
I know I shouldn't have left her.
Do you want me to come pick you up and bring you here? I texted back.
I can take a cab. She responded.
Ok see you soon. I texted back.
Kelly's POV
I called a cab and told them to take me to the closest bakery.
I decided to bring them all donuts.
While I was there I grabbed a cup of fruit for me.
When I was done there I called another cab and went to the BAU.
I opened the first glass door and then Hotch opened the other one for me.
"Thank you." I said. "I brought all of you guys donuts." I said setting them down.
Everyone took one and thanked me.
"No problem! Just a way of showing my appreciation and thanking you all for helping me." I said smiling.
"I can get used to her." Garcia said taking a bite out of a jelly donut.
"You didn't have to do that Kelly." Spencer said walking up to me.
"She's just being nice Spence." JJ said.
"I got them along with my breakfast." I said showing him the cup.
"And you need to eat Spencer." I said.
"Trust me we have tried." Emily said.
"We take him out but he barely eats." Garcia said.
I looked at him.
"Don't worry I'm fine. Really I just don't eat a bunch." He said trying to make sure I don't worry.
But I do worry about him.
His past was terrible and I don't know how someone could go through all of that.
Then he pulled me to the side.
"Listen. I'm really sorry I left you there alone. I didn't want to wake you and I should have and told you instead of leaving a stupid note and..."
"It's ok Spencer." I said interrupting his rambling.
"Ok lover boy lets get on the case. Ooo donuts." Morgan said walking into the room.
"Actually it's a good time you come Kelly we might need to ask you some questions." Spencer said.
"Ok Rossi, Emily and Hotch go to the house and see if there is any evidence we missed. I will help JJ see if there is any other related cases from the past that could help. And Garcia your gonna look up the guy that Kelly explains to Reid." Morgan said.
Everyone manned their stations and Spencer and I went into a room where he asked me questions.
"Ok so Kelly do you remember what the unsub looked like?" He asked me.
"Um I didn't see his face. He had a ski mask and goggles." I said.
"The classic ski mask. Alright is there anyone in your community that would have tried to hurt you and your father on purpose?"
"No I don't think so. Well... my dad does talk about this guy he works with. Saying he always gives him glares." I said.
I was getting teary-eyed from talking about him.
I felt a tear run down my cheek.
Spencer looked up at me.
"Oh Kelly don't cry." He said reaching across the table to wipe the tear off my face.
"Do you want to take a break?" He asked softly.
"No no I'm okay." I said. "And that guy is probably the closest to any threat. Nothing big."
He stared into my eyes and then reached out for my hand.
I held his hand and he smiled at me.
"Ok. Was there anything unusual happening that night that doesn't normally happen?" He asked.
"Not that I recall." I said.
This next question he hesitated to ask.
"Can... can you tell me everything that happened?" He asked quietly.
I thought about it and then I started crying again.
"No no Kelly..." He said standing up and walking over to me.
He hugged me and I hugged him back.
"My... my dad said he was coming home late." I said while he rocked me.
"Good good what else?" He whispered.
"I was listening to music... my dad came in and kissed me on the forehead." I said.
"Ok ok your doing great." He said.
"I heard a gunshot and then... and then." I felt really light headed.
I started to see tunnel vision and I felt myself getting weaker.
Spencer's POV
She started to release me from her arms.
She was shaking bad.
"Kelly?! Kelly look at me!" I said holding her in my arms. 
Her eyes closed and she went lifeless.
