Me and my plot bunnies! Forgive me for being a bit blurry on the details. I've only seen this episode once.
Reid could tell that Morgan was on the verge of losing it. He wouldn't stop pacing back and forth. Reid was still rather shaken up from when Morgan had snapped at him. That rarely happened but he understood the pressure that Morgan was going through, trying to save Ellie.
"You want something to eat?" He asked, feeling useless. "Maybe some food might help-"
"Reid!" Morgan shouted, impatience pouring out. " Will you please shut up? I can't think about food right now!"
Reid fell silent.
"Right." He didn't want to tell Morgan that people often thought better with food in their system. Emily noticed how taken back Reid was by Morgan's outburst and understood what it was like to feel helpless. "You know, there's a deli across the street," she told Reid. "I'm starting to get rather hungry myself...If you don't mind..."
"I'll be happy to help," Reid told her, grateful to leave this room. He didn't like the atmosphere in it. Made it difficutl to think. "Should I get the others some stuff?"
Emily nodded and handed him some money.
She waited until she left.
"He was only trying to help, Morgan," she snapped, not hiding her anger. Morgan sighed and rubbed his head.
"Yeah, I know. I didn't mean to snap at him like that. Times just running out and...but I shouldn't have taken it it out on the kid." He looked at her. "I'll apologize when he gets back."
Emily nodded.
Billie and the little girl watched Reid walk the few blocks and go across the street.
"Perfect," he smiled. Ellie lookd frightened.
"What are you going to do to him?"
"Agent Morgan has taken an interest in me, I'll take an interest in Agent Morgan and his little co-workers."
"Please, don't take him!" Ellie said, shaking. "You...you said we're a team right? I don't think we should take him. My vote should count."
"Too late," growled Billie.
"He's in public, how are you going to catch him in public?"
"That's easier than you might think." He pulled up next to the deli, making sure the van wasn't in front of the stores windows "Notice the streets are empty? Because everyone is afraid of me." He smiled at her. She stared back wide eyed. "Barely anyone is out. I'm surprised the deli is open."
"Please don't." she begged. He tied her hands before stepping out, as well as ductaped her mouth and shoved her in the back.
He got out of the van and waited for Reid to come out.
Billie kept his head down, knowing that Morgan would have given Reid the description.
Reid was too busy making sure he had enough sandwhiches for everyone to look where he was going. he past Bllie without a slightest hint of recognitation of the man.
Bllie made sure there was no one on that street before creeping up behind Reid and placing a cloth over Reid's mouth. Reid's eyes widened as he dropped the bag and struggled before going limp. Quickly Billie opened the door and threw Reid in the back of the van with the little girl before untying her and taking off the tape. He smiled at her horrorifed face as he closed the door and nodded to the unconcscious body of Dr. Reid.
"That's how it's done," he said to her before driving off, leaving the team completly unaware of what had happened to their very own Spencer Reid.
