As a consultant for the BAU, I tend to come in and help on extremely tough cases that need an extra helping hand. I'm not officially a member of the team, as I have not been offered a spot, however I am often told by Prentiss and Jereau  that I'm an official member to them. 

Due to the nearly constant need for me to help with the cases, I've grown close to the team. They're like a family to me.

There is, however, one member in particular whom I tend to navigate toward more so than the others; Spencer Reid. JJ has often told me of her doubt toward our friendship, due to Spencer and I's proximity when talking to each other and other details she observes. I tend to ignore her.

Presently, we have a case that's located locally, so we are in the BAU meeting room. Garcia has introduced the case, stating "the unsub has been kidnapping girls with a predilection toward theatre."

I clench my jaw, knowing that I could potentially be a victim due to my interest in theatre. I'll have to be careful.

"So, what we know about the case so far: the unsub has been picking up females with an interest in theatre. He kidnaps them, keeps them at an unknown location, and kills them. He uses the same kill method each time: lacerations to the thighs, lacerations to the wrists, and poisoning," Penelope informs.

"Perhaps it's sexual," Reid says, "He could have had a woman in his life with interest in theatre whom he loved, and they may have denied him sex or they sexually abused him, which caused a resentment and a need for sexual control."

"That's probable," Emily says.

"Too, he could be building up to kill the woman, if he hasn't done so already," I add.

They hum in acknowledgement.

Spencer and I throw around theories and conspiracies surrounding the case in order to come up with a profile. We do this quite often, typically ending the night with a quick run through the case file, applying sticky notes to the inside of the Manila folder with our theories.

Eventually, the time comes for me to go back to my own flat. I give Spencer a hug, and I exit the flat with a smile. I slowly head to my car, unlocking it with the clicker.

I hear footsteps behind me, but before I can turn around, I feel a slight pinch in my neck, and the world goes black.

SPENCER P O V

I look up from my book, seeing the headlights of Gaby's car as she pulls away. For some reason, I feel a weird sensation in my gut, almost as if something is wrong. That's when it hits me; Gaby has always had a passion for the theatre.

"Shit," I say, dialling a number on my phone. The person picks up on the first ring.

"Hey, Spence what do you need?" JJ asks, probably wondering why I was calling her at this time.

"Gaby's been kidnapped."

GABY P O V

When I come to, I groggily open my eyes. It's dark. I hear the slight drip of water falling into puddles; the slight trickle of water slowly streaming down the dank walls can be heard as well.
