Chapter 1: The Russian Mistake

Reid walked out of the bullpen full of enthusiasm. He had worked hard today and he couldn't wait to leave for the day and relax. He grabbed his satchel on the way out and caught up with JJ at the elevator. She looked just as happy as he was to go home. It had been a hard couple of days since they had a tonne of paperwork to do from the last case. JJ looked up at Reid and smiled.

"You look like you're about to explode if you don't get out of here soon."

"I'm just excited to go and see this new Russian film down town. You should come check it out I know that you don't speak Russian but I can translate and you can try and guess what will happen next. It'll be great." Reid looked like a little puppy begging for a treat.

"Spence as fun as that sounds and believe me that sounds like it would be amazing. I just want to have a quiet night in with Will and Henry."She said with some friendly sarcasm. She was tired and honestly just wanted to lounge about with her family.

"Of course." Reid nodded trying not to look embarrassed.

The elevator came and they both stepped on and rode it in an awkward silence. When it got to the lobby they both stepped out and said their goodbyes.

*3 hours later*

Reid stepped out of the movie theatre after the movie. He was impressed with just how much he actually understood of it. He would have to remember to include that in his next email to Emily. She would be proud of him for picking up the language so fast. He started the walk back to his apartment taking his usual shortcuts it wasn't through the safest part of town but it was quick. Reid felt the sleepy air around him and wanted to get home soon so he could sleep. He would be having an early day tomorrow and knew that sleep would be essential for getting though the rest of his paperwork that was on his desk.

He cut through an alleyway that was behind his apartment thinking thoughts of his bed. He didn't even notice the steel pipe until it made contact to the back of his head. Reid felt the ground under him and he realized that he had been hit round the head. He tried to get up but black surrounded his vision. He couldn't see straight. He tried to push himself up with his elbows but dizziness overtook his senses and he fell back to the floor. He watched as a figure walked in front of him. He tried to call out but at most he made a pathetic moan. He saw the figure reach down and throw something to the side. No doubt it was his gun. The figure grabbed his hands and secured them behind his back and he felt himself being dragged out of the alley and into a waiting van. Once he was in the back of the van a piece of tape was placed over his mouth and his legs were secured. The figure took one final look back at Reid and brought the pipe back down to his head. He could no longer hold off the blackness and it consumed his vision. He let his head relax and fell into unconsciousness...

A/N: Ohhhh A cliffhanger already. Thanks for reading and if you wouldn't mind reviewing that would be nice too.
