I'm in the library looking at books when I pull out one a door opens. Curious I look into it and see Maddie?! Wondering why she's in here. She looks over her shoulder and looks surprised. "What are you doing here?" She asked me.
With no reasonable explanation I just tell her,"I don't know. What is this place." "A place to get my work done without interruptions or to escape from everything and everyone." She tells me, "Basically my home." She points over to the corner to a mattress and a board with crime scene photos.
I walk over to the board and starts to look at her work. "Isn't this the kidnapping case that's been open and unsolved for two weeks?" "Yeah I've been working on it trying to figure it out. The unsub shows remorse with each killing, but he's also getting sloppier. Showing signs of a breakdown." She tells me
I look at her shocked. "How do you know about this case and how did you get these photos." "I know about the case from the police and the same with the photos. Wait what else is on your mind?" She asks me curiously. "I want to get to know you." I say."Ok. I'm 13 have and high IQ, an eidetic memory, a good drawer to most, smart, easy to pick on, oh and I can read about 21,000 words a minute." She says to me.
"I'll tell you about me. I'm Dr. Spencer Reid. Graduated high school at age 12, my dad walked out of me and my mom, 3 PhDs, work in school he FBI BAU, I also have a high IQ of about 180, an eidetic memory, and can read about 20,000 words a minute." I tell her. "Wait, so we have more in common. This has never happened." "How high is you IQ?" I ask "About yours."
"Did you know what we were talking about the seminar because you were drawing to whole time. Can I see your drawing?" I asked/said. Nodding for both questions she gets her sketchbook out and hands it to me.
The drawings I'm looking at show depression and sadness. Ones that get me concerned even more were

Looking at these makes me wonder what is going on in her life to make her feel this way.
After talking for awhile she asks me to leave so she could sleep before going home. Catching the way she said home.
When I walk out I turn and ask with genuine concern,"Are you getting abused at home or bullied here at school?" She looked at time and broke down.
Falling to the ground sobbing I have my answer. Going over to comfort her she just cries into my chest. I feel bad for this poor girl. She's young to have to go through these things. She gets up and goes over to the mattress and I leave.
I see the rest did the team outside. When they see me they run over." Hey where have you been?" Morgan asked. "I had a chat with Maddie." I tell them sad. I think that they caught the tone.
"We'll talk about this when we get back to the BAU." Hotch tells us.
At the BAU
"What happened." They ask me when we get to the conference room. "So, I was in the library and I pulled out a book. Turns out that Maddie knew of a secret room which she was in when I walked in. There was a mattress in the corner as well as a board full of crime scene photos from the latest kidnapping. We talked and got to know each other better. Turns out we have a lot more in common. I asked to see some of her drawings and what I saw broke my heart. All of them were a girl broken and crying or cut open wrists." I told them looking at them the p agirls seemed at the edge of crying.
I continue," She asked me to leave so she could sleep before going home. The way she said it was like she would rather be there than at home. I was walking out when I turned and ask if she was getting abused or bullied. She broke down and collapsed onto he floor crying." I start to tear up when I finished.
Looking up I see Hotch, Rossi, and Morgan looking pissed. JJ, Prentis, and Garcia looked sad and hugged me.
"What are we going to do?" I ask them. "We're going to get Maddie out of there and get her into a safe home." Rossi tells me.
"Reid, can you talk to her tomorrow and see if you can get anything else out of her. JJ I want you to go with him. A women present might help her open up and feel safe. The rest of use will go to the family and talk. Garcia can you look into the family. Let's get Maddie safe. In the mean time go home. Sleep." Hotch tells us.
On my way home I couldn't stop thinking about her. Please let her be safe when we get there. Wondering questions like, why her? What happened?
