Spencer Reid values his mind; with an IQ of 187, an eidetic memory, and the ability to read twenty thousand words per minute, who wouldn't? But when he is struck with amnesia and loses all of his memories (thanks to a sadistic man with a weird fascination with Reid), Spencer is plunged into a world of confusion, anger, and self-pity, leaving him to wonder, "Who am I?" *This is a Criminal Minds fan fiction! Therefore the rating is PG because the show deals with serial killers and contains violence, murder, and some crude language*

So what happens when she is made to?
