Swallow Your Hands (Obey Me like Your Life Depends on It)

CRIMINAL MINDS -- SPENCER REID ANGST

The BAU is called out for a prolific serial killer who was holding girls captive for three days, torturing them, and then strangling them and dumping their bodies. The case seemed pretty straightforward to the team until the body of a boy turns up. He had been held for more than a month, tortured like the girls, and most disturbingly bore a striking resemblance to one Doctor Spencer Reid.
When the youngest member of their team disappears from his hotel room, the BAU is left scrambling to find him. While captive, Reid learns just how sadistic their unsub truly is and why he had kidnapped a boy throughout all of his other murders: it was up to him to choose how these girls were tortured, and how long their death was drawn out. All too similar to his days with Tobias Henkel, can Reid find a way to survive his captor? Can he find a way to stay sane throughout it all?
