Savior (Spencer Reid)

chapter 3

"Addy you're drunk." Spencer put an arm around Adeline as she stumbled into his tiny apartment. "I'm not drunk you're drunk." She giggles and hiccups. "I'm going to get you some water." He sat her down on the sofa. He poured a glass of water from a jug in his fridge and handed it to her. "No I don't wanna drink." She pouted and put the glass on the coffee table in front of her. "No, you have to drink."

She grabbed his arm and pulled him on to the couch next to her. "Spencey." Adeline had tried to make her voice as little slurred as possible. She wanted to know what she was about to do was coming from her heart, and she meant it. Although the sober her inside her head was nervous as anything. "Yeah?"

He looked at her, and she admired his hazel eyes. The dark circles around them gave him an attractive edge. Curls of sandy brown hair fell in front of his eyes, and he pushed it back every so often. She had been fighting her feelings for months.

Before he could try to pull away or react, she leaned in and softly placed her lips on his. He was relaxed at first, then leaned back. "W-What are you doing?" Spencer was flustered, his heart beat in his chest so hard he could hear it in his ears. He didn't think that Addy could feel this way about him, or anyone for that matter. It's not that he didn't want her to kiss him, he just genuinely didn't know how to react.

"I'm kissing you." She picked herself up and planted herself on his lap. She cupped his face in her hands and looked in his eyes, "You're shaking." He took a rough inhaled breath and connected his eyes with hers."Just relax."

"Reid?" Hotch laid a hand on Spencer's shoulder and he jumped to the side. "Y-Yeah?" Hotch analyzed him for a minute before asking, "If this is just too personal and close to home for you, you can stay here and take some time-" Taking his boss off guard for the second time in one day, Reid cut him off, "No I want to come. Um, she uh, has no one else." Hotch nodded in understanding. Although he had plenty of questions for Reid, he allowed him to have his privacy, just like his team allows him to have his.

The team boarded the jet and got settled as it took off. JJ took a seat next across from Spencer and he immediately shifted in the recliner, uncomfortable by the questions he knew she was going to swamp him with. "So. She loves you?" JJ had her eyebrows raised, and Spencer couldn't help but blush. "I haven't seen her in three years. She was clearly drugged in the phone call." He flipped onto a book marked page in his novel, hoping his actions would show JJ he really didn't want to talk about his and Adeline's relationship.

"Garcia is calling." Morgan opened the teams communications laptop to reveal Penelope, in her colorful shiny glory. "What do you have?" Spencer asked eagerly and sat across from the laptop.

"Okay so everyone that Boy Wonder has had a hand in putting behind bars is still behind bars, everyone that he's unfortunately had to take matters into his own hands with has no family to take vengeance, and no family or significant others of people behind bars really seem to have a care about the cases." Garcia rambled to the team. "Reid you're sure there's no one at any point you've had beef with?" Rossi questioned and Spencer's head started to spin with how hard he began to think. "Seriously? Reid having beef with anyone outside of his cases? Once he told me the statistical benefits on keeping the fly in the break room alive." Emily said, gaining a chuckle out of the whole team while Spencer kept thinking.

He thought back to elementary school, the couple of years of high school, college, the academy. For some reason, no one or anything seemed to stick out. Slowly, he felt defeated. It was his fault why she's in the state she's in and with the memory he has he can't remember a single person who would want to get back at him that knew how much Adeline meant to him. He stood up and stormed back to the jets tiny bathroom and slammed the door shut. He put his head in his hands and started to tear up.

Spencer didn't want to lose hope, but he blamed himself every second of the case. Once he found her, he would never let her go. Not like last time.
