A/N: Helloooooooo my doves! And welcome newcomers! Here I present you another Baby Reid fic! This fic was original suppose to be a one-shot, but my little Storm Trooper's idea was so good it was too good to be a one-shot. So it is now a multi-chapter. Now my Storm Trooper BookWorm I might throw in a few things of my own in here so don't be shocked. Lol. Now I'll try to update as much as I can, but I have other fics to attend to and school work comes first. But without further ado let's get started!
Summary: Uh oh! Reid's been taken again! By scientists? That's no bueno! And just what are these scientist doing? And what are they going to do with Reid? Stay tuned! Reid centric. (Of course! Lol) Hotch/JJ established.
Enjoy!
All mistakes brought to you and part by the soda machine...it's out of order.
The case
Hotch walked into the bullpen early that warm June morning. He saw that his surrogate son Spencer Reid at his desk sleeping. Hotch shook his head. He had stayed late again for third time this week.
Hotch went to office and put his brief case down and walked back into the bullpen. He picked Reid bridal style with no effort. He made a mental note to monitor the boys diet more closely. He gently laid him down on the couch and covered him with his suit jacket. He smiled when Reid snuggled into it. He brushed a stray hair out his eyes and went to his desk and got to work.
JJ walked in next and saw her lover was already here. She smiled and headed to his office. She dropped off her her purse and bag in her office and went into his. She noticed her Spence on the couch sleeping. She smiled and kissed his forehead. She turned to her lover and exchanged a worried glance with him.
"He stayed late again. That's the third time." JJ whispered kissing Hotch.
"I know. I'm going to have a talk with him about it and his diet. When I carried him in here it felt like I was carrying a feather." Hotch said.
JJ sighed. "Yeah. Spence has that bad habit of working and not eating."
The two shook their heads and shared another kiss.
"Alright. I'm going to see if we have cases. Make sure he eats when he gets up." JJ said.
"I will. Go on now. I'll keep my eye on him." Hotch assured.
JJ nodded and stole another at her Spence. She then headed to her office and got to work.
Morgan and the others began to pile in and got to working. Morgan and Emily however noticed their missing genius and set out to find him.
Hotch looked at the scene in the bullpen and went to assure Reid's paranoid surrogate siblings that he was safe and his office. He retreated when the two calmed down and went back to work.
Hotch went back into his office and closed the door behind him, and returned to his desk. He noticed his charge on the couch was beginnig to stir.
Reid awoke to lying down as opposed to his postion at his desk. He slowly opened his eyes and sat up.
"Good morning Reid." A voice said.
Reid looked over with his sleep filled eyes and blinked a few times until he saw it was Hotch sitting over there. He rubbed his eyes and waved.
Hotch chuckled. He knew his son was far from a morning a person. He got up and walked over to him.
"Reid. This is the third time this happened. What's going on?" Hotch asked.
Reid looked at him then the ground. He felt Hotch's fingers gently lift his chin up so they were eye to eye. Reid took a deep breath.
"The nightmares got worse again. I didn't want to go home because the landlord didn't pay the electric bill, so it's dark. I don't like the dark." Reid said.
"Why didn't you call me? You could've stayed with JJ and I last night." He said.
"But I didn't want to be a burden and you've got Jack and Henry." He said.
"Reid you're never a burden, and Jack and Henry love it when you come over. They adore you." Hotch said. "Next time say something. Okay?"
"Yes sir." Reid smiled shyly at him.
"Now go eat something for breakfast. You need to pack on a few good pounds." Hotch teased. He chuckled at the pout on Reid's face.
Reid got up and handed Hotch his suit jacket back and went to the break room to find something to munch on. He was stopped by Garcia and was kidnapped by her. She gave a light scolding for staying late again but then she kissed his forehead and gave a cookie.
Reid's eyes lit up at the sugary goodness and gobbled it. He then set out for coffee. Once he had his perfect he went back to his desk and grabbed his psychology book. He had finished all his paperwork last night, so now he could get his homework done.
"Guys. Conference room." JJ said.
They followed her in and sat down. She passed out the files and they gave her their full attention.
"In Alabama their's been a string of kidnappings. Both males between the ages of 25-35 and females ages 20-30. The three victims were found just ouside the city. Both show signs of being experimented on." She relayed.
"What was the experiment?" Reid asked.
"Age progression and regression. Our UnSub has a god complex." JJ said.
"One that seems to be failing." Rossi said.
"Why not call us sooner?" Emily asked.
"The town is very small and not equipped to handle anything of this magnitude." JJ said.
"Alright. Wheels up in thirty." Hotch said.
Jet
Everyone was settled in their favorite spots and settled in.
Rossi, Morgan, and Emily were playing poker. JJ and Hotch were talking. Reid was finishing up his homework.
"Hey Pretty Boy." Morgan called.
"Hmm?" Reid hummed without looking from his paper.
"Want to play?" He asked.
"Sorry. But I have to finish this. I put it off long enough. Maybe when I'm done." He said.
"Alright." Morgan said.
The team watched as he read and wrote. Normally Reid loves the chance to beat his big brother at cards. But he was more concerened about his work.
Hotch made another mental note to have a serious talk with Reid about these nightmares.
About 15 minutes later, Spencer stretched. His limbs popping happily. He threw his books in his bag and joined the others.
They went over the case again and Hotch gave them their assignments.
"Morgan you and Reid go to the dumpsite. See if you find anything the police missed. Rossi and Emily go to morgue. See what you can find about the age thing from the victims. JJ and I will go to the station." Hotch said.
Everyong nodding their heads in agreement.
When Reid stepped off the jet he felt a chill go down his spine.
'That's odd. It's summer and yet I feel cold.' He thought.
"Yo Pretty Boy! Let's go!" Morgan called from the SUV.
"Coming!" He called back.
He threw his bags in the back and climbed in the passenger seat.
"You okay?" Morgan asked.
"I'm fine." Reid said.
"You sure?" Morgan asked.
"I'm positive." Reid said giving him a smile.
"Alright. But if you're lying I'm busting your ass." Morgan warned.
Reid nodded. The chill that went down his spine ran down again as they drew closer to the dumpsite. They got out and flashed their badges to the officers on site.
Meanwhile
"Him. He's perfect." A voice said.
"I agree." Another said.
The second voice got and grabbed his bag. They had found the perfect person.
Back at the site
"I'll look over here. You look over there." Morgan said.
Reid nodded. And began his search. He looked high and low for anything but came up empty handed. He sighed and was ready to head back to Morgan but he realized he trekked a little too far.
He began backtracking slowly. He heard a snapping noise and whipped around. He didn't see anyone and assumed it just an animal. They were in the woods. He started walking again when heard another snapping noise. He turned and before he could reach for his gun, someone had a hold on him! He began to struggle to get free, but this person had a strong grip on him.
"It's pointless. You belong to us now." The voice whispered in his ear.
Before he could open his mouth to call for Morgan, a sickly sweet cloth covered his face. His struggles got weaker as he faded into oblivion. He heard Morgan call for him but he couldn't answer him. The darkness had finally claimed him.
The voice pick him up and carried him away before his partner could come and find them. He ducked in a secret place and pulled out a roll of duct tape. He bound Reid's hands behind his back, and then tied his legs and ankles. He ripped off a strip and gagged him. He poked his head out and when he saw no sign of the boys partner he picked him back up and carried away.
He placed Reid gently in the back of the van and they took off.
"Wonderful. You got him." The first voice said.
"Yeah. It was pretty easy. And he's light." The second voice said.
"That means we'll have to make 'it' stronger." The first voice said.
"Indeed." The second voice said.
The drove off towards their lab with their latest prize.
Oh no! They got him! Daddy Hotch, Big Bro Morgan save him!
Until next time! *sings along to the CSI theme*
