This is the First Chapter of POW. It is just an introduction to the story. I hope you enjoy it, and I would love your feed back. This is my first ever Fanfic, and my very first chapter! Feel free to leave some advice! I do not own CrimMinds or their Characters. All I own is the future made up characters which will probably be made at random. (Story set around end of season 5 early season 6)

Enjoy!

Chapter 1

He was almost 29. He couldn't believe it. He figured he would've been buried six feet deep by now rotting away in a box. But, he was here. He shouldn't be. Dr. Spencer Reid ran his hands through his hair as he sat up in his bed. It was one of those nights when his eidetic memory was a curse instead of a blessing. Not wanting to remember anything he quickly reached for the book on his nightstand. His memories began to force their way through his mental barrier.

His breathing hitched and his fingers fumbled to turn the page. His heart was racing and he could feel himself getting lightheaded. His phone rang and he froze. With a shaky hand, he reached for the cell phone and saw it was SSA Aaron Hotchner.

"Hello?" Spencer said in a weak voice. The other end was silent.

"Reid, are you alright?" the stern voice questioned with slight worry. Spencer nodded. "Reid," Hotch repeated, this time more authoritively.

"Yes, I'm fine," Spencer said quickly. "Do we have a case?" He asked, diverting the conversation before Hotch could ask any more questions.

"We have a case, we will brief on the plane. Wheels up in an hour," Hotch said and then hung up.

Spencer let out a shaky breath. This was the distraction he needed.

What do you think? It is just an introduction, and it is rather short. I wasn't trying to give anything away. At least not yet. I plan on making this story a multi-chapter fanfic, but it will take time since I'm in school! Right now I'm on break, so I plan on knocking out a few chapters!

Thank you for reading and feel free to leave your thoughts!
