Just an idea I had while rewatching Scared to Death even though I'm unsure how realistic this would be, Reid getting seperated.

The team rushed into Dr. Howard's office. "I'll check the other rooms," Reid told the others. Morgan nodded as they rummaged through Dr. Howard's desk.

As soon as Reid entered a room next to the office he felt something hit him sharply against the head. He crumpled to the floor. Dr. Howard loomed over him.

"Let's see what you're afraid of," he murmured as he took out Reid's badge. "Agent Spencer Reid." Quickly he scooped Reid up and snuck out in the hallway. The rest of the team was too busy on the other side of the building. He stepped into the elevator that went down to the basement.

Reid woke tied to a chair. He blinked, trying to regain his focus. He stared at the man that paced in front of him.

"Let's see what you're afraid of, shall we?" The man said with a smile. Reid groaned.

"Dr. Howard?"

"Yes, and you're Agent Spencer Reid."

Reid struggled against the handcuffs.

"Why are you doing this?" He demanded.

"I want to know what you're afraid of. I'm...curious."

"What makes you think I'll tell you anything?"

The man laughed.

"Trust me, I can be very...presuavive when I want to be. You WILL talk."

Reid was getting desperate. What was he afraid of the most? Being captured again. Tied up, tortured, and drugged.

"My team," he said as he licked his dry lips. "They'll be looking for me."

Dr. Howard nodded.

"Yes, I'm sure they will." He leaned over at Reid. "Then why are you so nervous?"

"Excuse me?" Reid frowned. "I don't understand."

"You seem...very nervous right now...aren't you trained to handle these kinds of situations?"

Reid swallowed.

"Will yes but even when you're trained it doesn't fully prepare you."

He nodded.

"That is true...but I have a sense you've had this happen to you before? And by judging by your reactions, recently?"

Reid swallowed and refused to answer. Dr. Howard smiled.

"Interesting, most interesting."

"Reid?" Morgan called out for the kid. "Reid!" He rushed into the first room in the hallway. He froze when he saw Reid's badge laying on the floor as well as his gun. "No," Morgan breathed. His first thought was of the last time Reid seperated with somebody. How could he have been so stupid?

Cursing he rushed off to Hotch and showed him Reid's badge.

"Reid's missing," he said.

"He's missing?" Emily said turned sharply and Hotch looked at him with worry. Morgan nodded and looked at the two. "I think Dr. Howard has taken him."

"What...what are you doing?" Reid demanded as he saw the knife looming towards him.

"Just a little test," Dr. Howard smiled. "Just to really see what your fears are. Don't worry Dr. Reid, I don't want to kill you. You fascinate me more than anyone I've met. You and I are going to become VERY close." With that he pressed the knife against Reid's cheek causing Reid to cry out in pain.
