A videotape of a kidnapped victim was sent to the BAU, with no much time they have to find him before it's too late. But something is wrong with Spencer, and the team can't quite work out what, but something isn't adding up. What's wrong with Spencer? Who is this victim? Who is the unsub? and why is a member of their team smack bang in the middle of it all? All will be answered, so read on. **Warning** This is a Male x Male fanfic, if you don't like it please do not read!! Contains sexual violence, strong and offensive language.

There was something raw and untapped in Dr. Spencer Reid's eyes. The killers, rapists, arsonists, and sadists could see it, but his own team couldn't. Will they be able to look past years of lies when coincidences keep pilling up?

It's a normal case for the BAU. An unsub killed three women and is in a fast down spiral, the team is about to catch him. Things take a turn for the worse when Reid gets injured and wakes up in the hospital - and he knows nothing. Not even his name.

The BAU is sent to Sacramento, CA to investigate the murders of Greg Davis and Daniel Foster, and the disappearance of Jessica Guzman. During the investigation, one of the agents gets kidnapped by the unsub. Who's the agent? Dr. Spencer Reid. At the unsub's secret location, Reid meets Jessica. They form a bond that may be the key to escaping. Will they escape? Will they (Reid & Jessica) fall in love in the process? Or will the BAU find them too late?

When Spencer Reid was a young kid, he was taken from everyone who had every loved him. Taken and tortured. Young FBI trainee Aaron Hotchner and another trainee, David Rossi, are assigned to his case. The two men, both in their twenties, need to figure out how to save young Spencer before it's too late. Or they lose everything. DISCLAIMER- I do not own Criminal Minds or any characters.

UP TO CHAPTER 14 REVISED. I will not be revising anymore. The BAU heads off the Hill Lake, MN to catch a serial killer that strangles their victims. However, this case is not all that it seems. When the UNSUB takes Reid hostage, the team has two days to find him or else the Hill Lake Strangler will have another victim.

Spencer has been acting differently, almost a little frazzled. What's wrong with him? Will his team find out before something bad happens to Reid or will they have to keep up with the case and not give a second look to Reid's actions?

While Reid is struggling with the loss of his mom he becomes isolated and he starts to become unhealthy and sick, but don't tell anyone on his team. The team can see he's not doing well, and try to get him to open up but he won't. Can Reid hide it while they're hunting down a serial killer copying Thobias Hankle, the man who kidnapped Reid and drugged him, read to find out what happens.

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*
