I'm sorry guys but I just can't seem to stop with my CM stories! So many episodes that I watch I wonder "what if this happened to Reid?" lol, cause I'm sick like that.

Prologue

It was late that night, everyone had gone home instead of Reid.

"Reid, honey," Garcia said before leaving. "You're only 25 years old, it's a friday night. Live a little!"

"I have a lot of work to catch up on," Reid mumbled. "You all well probably have a better time without me." Garcia sighed.

"I'm not going to be able to convince you, am I?"

Reid smiled as he looked up.

"'Fraid not," he replied.

She patted him on his shoulder.

"Don't stay up too late," she advised him. He nodded, already deep in his work.

"Kid coming?" Morgan asked, she shook his head.

"Determined to become a workaholic, it seems," she sighed. Morgan shook his head also.

"Kid needs a life outside the BAU, not good for him."

"You won't convince him to go, trust me," replied Garcia. "Come on, Emily and JJ are waiting for us in the car."

Hotch came out of his office and frowned at the light that was on one of the desks.

"Reid, is that you?"

"Sir?" Reid jumped.

"What are you working on?"

"Oh some reports I've been behind on." Hotch checked his watch.

"It's midnight."

"Is it really?" Reid adjusted his glasses as he glanced down at his wrist watch. "Oh it is."

"You should be out, it's a friday night."

"You're here too," Reid pointed out.

"Yeah, but I'm old, you're still young. I thought you were going out with the team to the bar."

"I decided to stay behind and catch up on some paperwork so I don't have to do it on Monday."

"Well you should go home, it's late," Hotch advised him and Reid nodded as he started to clean up his desk. "Oh and Reid?" Hotch asked as the kid stood up.

"Yes sir?"

"Don't stay here this late again, not even on a weekday. You don't want to wind up like me."

"You're not so bad," Reid said with a smile and Hotch smiled back.

"I'll be the judge of that."

Both of them soon left, Reid on foot and Hotch in a taxi.

Reid slowly headed towards the subway he didn't notice the shadows behind him.

Before he knew what was happening he was jumped and dragged into the alley.

"Please, please don't," he begged. Unable to stop them he tried to protect himself as they started to hit him over and over again with the baseball bat, he laid curled, trying to proct his face, wondering when it'll end...
