I really didn't appreciate Hotch's commentary on Reid. I'm sure Reid knows he could have done anything he wanted with his life. I do feel sorry for Reid, though. He thinks they don't want him
I first read this in 2006. It's now 9-15-19. It's difficult to think of what Reid looked like 13 years ago. That would have made him 26 at this time. Anyway, can't wait to reread more.

I love the way Reid's knowledge and abilities got around Vegas in minutes. I hope Hotch didn't think Reid was taking over the investigation. Sometimes, though, you have to use the specials talents of the men and women who work for you.

I can't believe I found this one again. I've been looking for this, but didn't remember the name. All I remember was Las Vegas, air vents, robot, and anagrams. Then, I started looking through ALL of the stories. So I'm going to write the name down so in a few months from now, when I want to reread this, I can. This is one of my all-time favorites, so I really don't want to lose the name ...again.

Awww. This was such a sweet ending. I just love it so much when Reid and especially Hotch express their emotions

Can't you just visualize little boy Spencer sitting in a chair too large for him, swinging his feet, and watching grown ups count cards?

I'm rereading this for the umpteenth time. It's one of favorite stories. I can never remember the name, though. Morgan's words were truly a look into the future.

I love how you build the story in detail interestingly!

I love this story and the one before it!

Threatening Reid like that, Hotch was just being a bully. He does that a lot with Reid. I think he knows he can get away from it.

well you didnt watch it yet so dont feel like a plagarist

The first time I reviewed this chapter was 7-18-10, as lolyncut. It's now 4-27-17, I reread this every so often. I kept looking for the story that had the robot in the vents and Hotch purposely shot Reid... and I found it!

This story was the second one on my "favorite stories" list. I reread them every once in awhile. I'm just waiting for season 12 to end on the TV. It's down to the last two and Reid is , as usual, in trouble.

Thanks again for writing such an engaging story.

Are you still there? I truly hope so, it's April 2016 and I just read this story, I have some of your other stories as favourites from before, but only now I found this one. It will for sure go to my favourites list as well.

Don't worry about it being different from canon, consider it an alternate universe, much of what is found here is one, anyway.

Thank you for this piece, fantastic job with the case fic, and even more with the father/son relationshio between Aaron and Spencer.

NOW I remember reading this many years ago. I've been looking for this story, and just realized this was it. I love the next chapter the first/second I read this marvelous story. Now, I look forward to reading the best ending of pretty much any story I've read in the last few years.

Jeez, now Reid is going to blame himself for Caitlin's death.

Oh, Reid. don't get up and leave. You belong.
