Little Agent Gideon

chapter twelve

REID'S POV

I woke up from my dream, shaking. It hurt to think back to that painful memory, especially seeing it from an adult perspective. I went to call Alena but it went straight to voicemail, that kind of sent me into a panic but I was hoping that she was just busy at a crime scene. I drifted off slowly back to sleep

ALENA'S POV

I arrived at the crime scene with Morgan and a few SWAT agents. Gideon, Hotch and Emily were already in the building. I ran in and evacuated the whole building, many students were confused and some raised panic. I bumped into a girl that was dressed entirely in black. Her wrists were exposed and I could see visible and recent self harm marks. She had heavy, black makeup engulfing her eyes and her black cloths were like a weight over her body.

"I am so sorry miss."

She just looked at me, starring at me with her ice blue cold eyes, after a while she ran off. I could tell she had a burn on her hand which is random but I didn't have time to worry about her. I needed to evacuate the drama department.

I ran to the drama department and saw it was completely empty, I let out a sigh of relief but then I saw my dad in the hallway. I looked back into the room and saw that the room was lit and was about to explode. I raced to my dad, grabbing his arm and running just hoping that he didn't get hurt. The explosion went off, the whole floor was destroyed. I fell to the floor, my dad was a few metres away from me, he also fell to the floor. My head was pounding, I hit a sharp object on my way down and I was bleeding out. My dad was laid down for a while, I tried to get him up but it was hard. He injured his back, I carried him out of the building. Struggling but I used the last amount of my strength to lift him. As we hobbled out, the SWAT team took my dad as I walked out. I looked around and then back at the building. I noticed a lot of the BAU was missing. I went to run back in when the second explosion went off. I fell to the floor again, barely conscious.

I saw a figure leaning over me, checking my pulse. My vision was blurry so I couldn't see who it was at first. As I blink more regularly, I saw it was Morgan. He snapped his fingers in my face, trying to get my attention

"Come on Alena, come on. Wake up girl."

I slowly started to get my hearing back and I opened my eyes

"Morgan? What happened?"

He hoisted my up and carried me over to the cars

"Can you hear me? Can you see me?"

I nodded, he let out a sigh of relief. I tried to regain my balance, and tried to look around to see where the rest of the team was. I saw Emily and JJ comforting the students, Hotch and my dad were sat behind an ambulance and Morgan was with me. Apart of my delusion wanted to ask where Reid was but I then realised he wasn't here. I got in one of the cars and made my way back to the bullpen. I tried to grab my cell and call Reid. Morgan was driving but I could see that his eyes kept wondering over in my direction. The phone went straight to voicemail, I didn't take Spencer for a man who had a voicemail but I heard his cute voice recorded over the phone

"Hey, It's Doctor Spencer Reid. I am not able to take your call right now so leave a message."

I heard the piercing beep and decided to leave a message

"Hey Spence it's me. Ali, it's Ali. Sorry I didn't answer your call earlier, we have a big case to deal with just give me a call when your up and I can come over after my shift. Bye."

I hung up the phone to see Morgan looking at me

"Ali?"

He didn't understand the nickname Reid gave me back on my very first case

"Yeah it's um. It's a nickname he gave me back when I first started, it's a Spencer thing."

I smiled, looking down at his picture on my contact list. organ smiled looking at me

"You really care about him, don't you?"

I nodded, we made our way back to the bullpen and everything was pretty normal. I went straight to the files and rummaged through looking for any evidence. Out the corner of my eye, I saw a little girl walk into the bullpen. I ran out of the office I was in and directly towards the little girl. She looked roughly four years old, she had a pure white dress on with a dark purple cardigan around her, covering the torso of the dress. She had knee-high white socks on and white shoes, matching her dress and her hair was in little pigtails. I crouched down to her level, I could tell she had been crying.

"Hey honey, is everything ok?"

She gave me a crumpled up note and unbuttoned her cardigan. I saw a pipe bomb strapped to her chest and she was holding a trigger button, I carefully alerted the bomb squad and called the team over. The little girl was sobbing as she was about to take her thumb off the button

"NO!!"

She flinched but I tried to keep her calm

"Hey, look at me. Your gonna be ok. Just don't take your thumb off that button ok?"

She nodded while sobbing hysterically. My dad took over from me as I looked at the note the little girl had previously handed me. Morgan came over

"What is it Alena?"

I read out the note

'You tried to stop me and the pace has not been fast, and now he is in danger and the sick one is last.'

I looked up at Morgan as we both realised

"This note means-"

"Reid is in danger."
