It was 6:00 when the alarm went off. I dragged my hand through my tangled hair. I warmed up the water, and hopped in the shower. Warm steam hit my back like summer rain, and woke me up. I used kiwi/mango shampoo,conditioned it with a thick coconut one, and washed my body with a basic bar of soap. I stepped out, and the cold air created prickly goosebumps on my warm skin. I hurried to my closet, where I picked out a striped button up shirt with dark slacks that were right. I brushed out my long hair, which was already dry. It would be bone straight if it weren't for the very ends, which curled. I draped my clean hair over my shoulders, and smiled to see Spencer waking up.
"Good morning sleepy head." I laughed, gazing into the guest bedroom.
"What time is it?" he asked sleeping, yawning halfway through his question.
"Lucky for you I speak half asleep. It's 6:37."
He stretched lazily. I rolled my eyes, and headed downstairs. I made coffee for us, the smell drifting about the kitchen. I also made chocolate chip waffles. Finally, a mostly awake Doctor Reid appeared at the stairway, with a light green button up shirt and a gray tie.
"Dude, did you make choclate waffles and coffee?" He smirked.
"Yup."
"I do not deserve you." He shook his head, smiling.
We scarfed down breakfast, and grabbed our shoes.
"What did you do about your job?"
"I called in sick."
"Oh."

"Hello ladies and gents, Carter." Garcia greeted in the room.
"Picking up where we left off."
There was plenty of questions, and stories explained.
"Damn it! This sick bastard was in my apartment and I didn't even know it! He takes pictures of people while they sleep and develops them himself. Every time we think we have a lead, we come to a dead end. We can't even profile this breaking and entering ass that takes pictures of people while they sleep and enjoys invading peoples privacy." Morgan shouted as he ran a hand across his head.
Garcia rushed in with a paper.
"We ran the paper through the machine... Nothing. No fingerprints, nothing." She stated.
"We couldn't track the pictures or see who printed them. This guy is seriously good. We have to put this investigation on hold for now. Spencer, if you get anymore threats, I'm serious, you're telling us A.S.A.P." Hotch accepted.
Spencer nodded.
"You too Carter. Lunch break." Aaron ordered.

I waited outside of David's office, feeling super guilty for spying on the 2/5 people I loved most in this world.
"Has she told you yet? About why she's so afraid?"
"No, is everything ok?"
"It's really not my place for me to tell you, but she was abused really badly." he whispered, voice quiet.
My heart did flip flops and my stomach did acrobatics.
He knows now. Not all of it, but enough to make me feel bare...
