Hotch looked around the waiting room that the team and himself occupied, Reid had been rushed in about an hour ago and was taken straight to surgery. He glanced at Emily, her head rested heavily on her hands, she sighed loudly he guessed in frustration since arriving they had heard nothing on Spencer. JJ sat with Will who had when he found out that they had found Reid rushed Henry to the sitter's house and had swiftly made his way to the hospital, he had respected Reid, and he liked him. Morgan sat with Penelope who sobbed quietly into his shoulder as he rubbed her back, Hotch knew that this was hard on Morgan, they were like brothers. Rossi sat with Hotch, his hands clasped as he stared down at the floor, his lips moving as he whispered a prayer for their fallen friend.

"I've had enough of this. I want the truth." Morgan said as he stood and turned his attention to Emily.

"Morgan." Hotch growled "Stop."

"No Hotch. We have a right to know." Morgan shot back harshly. He stared defiantly at Hotch as Hotch opened his mouth to reprimand him.

"Hotch, its fine." Prentiss said as she looked up, wiping her hands on her trousers she took a deep breath "Spencer wasn't born Spencer Reid, he was Spencer Matthew Prentiss. He's my son."

"What?" Garcia squeaked "Does he know? How do you know it's him?"

"He doesn't know and I know it's him because Diana has sent me pictures all of his life. She'd let me know when he moved up a grade, when he lost his first tooth."

"What happened?" JJ asked as she stared at their friend looking for signs that she could be lying.

"He was a year and a half and somebody took him. He was gone for 19 days and when we found him he was bruised, really malnourished, had a couple of broken bones. We didn't know he took him or why and I was scared, I thought that they'd come back for him. My mom had met Diana at the university that Diana had lectured at years before I think I was a kid and they hit it off. They became friends in fact Diana helped us a lot when Spencer went missing. Diana had the idea and my mom thought it would be the best thing for him. So we said that Spencer Prentiss was killed and then we created Spencer Reid. Every year Diana sent me photos, certificates, letters and that so that I was still a part of his life, he just didn't know it."

Morgan couldn't take it, he had to get out and clear his head. He was pissed off and majorly confused. He walked away from the group heading outside, ignoring the calls of his friends. He had to get away otherwise he would say something that he would seriously regret.

3 hours later

"Family of Dr. Spencer Reid?" A doctor called as he walked into the waiting room.

"That's us." Hotch said as they all stood and walked over to surround the doctor,

"Right, I'm not gonna lie we lost him 2 times on the table and once in the ambulance. He's got a few broken ribs, I think we counted at least 3 maybe 4, he was slightly hypothermic and the bullet we got out of him managed to nick an artery. It's gonna take time but with the right help, TLC and support he should be ok. We are gonna have to keep a close eye on him because of the risk of infection."

"Can we see him?" Hotch asked as he step closer to the doctor.

"Not at the moment, he's still in recovery. When he's in a room of his own then yes."

The doctor left the team and headed back the way he had originally came. Hotch turned and sat on the hard plastic chair behind him, his head heavy in his hands. JJ turned into Will as he enveloped her in a hug as tears formed in her eyes, she was glad that Spencer was ok but she felt bad that he had had to go through it again.

"Morgan." Garcia said as he stepped through the door, she rushed over to him her arms outstretched "They think he's gonna be ok."

"Look Morgan I know it's hard to understand but I done it to protect him. I really did."

"Prentiss just save it. You expect me to believe that you done it to protect him when you sent him to a paranoid schizophrenic, no wonder she wouldn't always remember he was hers. I hope you know that because he thought that she was his mom, he felt… no he feels guilty about having her committed and writes to her everyday so that he doesn't. Did you know that he got bullied in high school," Morgan said with a growl, Emily shook her head "He got tied to a goal post for 6 hours because Diana forgot about him. You're not his mom; you were never there for him. Yeah Diana had her problems but at the end of the day when she was lucid she was there for him, you weren't."

Morgan sat down, Spencer was his best friend and because of her he had gotten hurt. She had been too cowardly to tell them and now Spencer was paying the price. Morgan would always defend Spencer no matter what for; he could be being done for murder and if Spencer said he didn't do it then Morgan would believe that to be the case.
