Chapter Two: Playing a part

Start from the beginning
                                        

I was on the floor, unable to move. I was too scared to incase the unsub showed up again.

" Can i come in?" Giddeon says in a comforting tone. I knew what he was thinking he knew I was going crazy.

I couldn't talk. I was just frozen on the floor with the muffled sounds of Swan Lake still playing in my headphones.

He finally manages to open the door to see me on the floor he of course, was concerned and asked me if I was alright physically.

" Y/n?, what happened?" he asks me

I still could not process it. How did it feel and look so real that I am just  haunted by the past? Is this the debt I owed to the universe.

" Can you talk?" He asks me once more

I finally shook my head no slightly, almost not at all.

I was too scared to move after the encounter of my past experiences haunting me still.

He then puts his hand on my back. I flinched and had an expressive look of shock and fear on my face.

" Woah, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you y/n" he says, comforting me once more.

I then had the courage to sit up and stare at the man in his face.

" Did you have a nightmare," he asks me, trying to solve and analyze my situation.

" No sir, I uh...I don't know what just happened," I say hesitancy in my voice.

My fear was that he would kick me off the case, and I would be back at square one.

Unemployed, with PTSD from my past haunting me every chance it got.

" I have nightmares also...about cases I had years ago also it comes and goes every once in a while but I manage"

he says, still with his hand on my knee, this time trying his best to comfort me.

" How do you do it?" I ask him, almost muttering to him.

He looks down and then looks back at me.

" I think about all the people I saved and all the people who would've been the next victim if I hadn't stopped the unsubs," he says to me

I then thought long and hard how his words would probably have an effect on me in the end.
I was breathing heavily still like something was on my chest, an anvil or something heavy.

" Y/n, you need to calm down, do breathing exercises. You are safe here. Whoever you think is out to get you, they are not here," giddeon says, reassuring me

It took me over an hour to calm down finally. But I managed to calm down and return to my seat. No one noticed except Giddeon.

I finally took some melatonin and felt my eyes getting heavy as I drifted off to sleep.



I was awoken by the weight of a bag. My bag and I looked up to see who dropped it on me so suddenly, then I saw his skinny body.


" What the heck!" I shouted at him, pulling my headphones out of my ears.

He gave me a glare and shook his head no and went out of the plane. I then gathered my stuff getting off also.

I chased after him.

" SPENCER REID GET BACK HERE!" I yelled. I reached my limit. I was angry.

He then stepped in the car we were going in to drive to the hotel. I then grabbed him and closed the door.
