A/N: I know...I suck...
As Spencer Reid walked across campus he was once again haunted by the piercing blue eyes of JJ. Their weekend in Vegas had been the most fun Spencer had ever had. Throughout the whole weekend he and JJ had flirted, being constantly teased by her two friends for it. And when they left they had almost kissed but the arrival of their car from the valet had halted it. They had exchanged numbers promising to keep in touch but he had yet to have the courage to actually finish dialing her number.
As he continued to daydream about JJ, he didn't see the person he was going to run into until it was too late. They collided and knocked both Spencer and the other person to the ground, causing books and papers to fly everywhere.
"I'm so sorry I wasn't paying attention." Spencer said as he sat up and started to pick up the papers and books off the ground.
"Spence is that you?" Spencer looked up surprised.
"JJ? What are you doing here?" he asked as they picked up the papers.
"I go here." JJ said smiling at him.
"Wow, really? Wow." He smiled at her. They both smiled as they stood up and stared at each other, too happy to say anything.
"Well do you have time for dinner? We could talk, catch up." Spencer asked.
"Yeah that would be great. Where's good around here?" JJ asked smiling.
"Uh there is a good place a couple blocks away." Spencer said with a smile.
"Well lead the way then." They started down the road.
They talked for hours at dinner. Laughing and smiling the whole time, neither noticing how late it was getting. They only left when a waitress came over to them and told them that they were closing for the night. They reluctantly left, slowly walking back to campus as they held hands and continued on with their conversation. When it was time for them to go their separate ways Spencer did two things he never did. First, he asked JJ on another date. When she said yes, he did the second thing he'd never done. He kissed her. After a few more kisses they both said goodnight and went their separate ways with smiles on their faces with the promise to meet tomorrow evening for their date.
"Spence? Spencer! Hey where'd you go? You've been spacing for thirty minutes." JJ said as she placed a hand on his knee. He smiled over at her and grabbed her hand giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"Sorry I was just thinking about our first date." Reid told her with a smile. JJ smiled at him.
"You've been thinking a lot about our past lately. Is everything alright?"
"Yeah I just found this picture of the two of us in Vegas. I don't know I've been just thinking about it lately." he told her.
"Yeah me too. I guess when we are confronted with telling our friends, we're going back to how it all started. And why we hid from them in the first place." JJ said. Reid nodded.
"How far away from this place are we?" Reid asked.
"Not too far, maybe a half hour." JJ said looking down at the directions.
By the time they reached the Henkel residence it was pitch black outside. JJ and Reid both got out of the car and walked to the door. JJ knocked and waited. It was a few seconds before they heard footsteps and heard the lock turned. The door opened and all they could see was part of a man's head.
"Hi Mr. Henkel."
"Um, Yeah." He said. JJ smiled.
"Mr. Henkel FBI, I'm Agent Jareau, this is Agent Reid." JJ said as she and Reid show him their badges.
"FBI?"
"Uh, may we come in?" Reid asked.
"Um, I'm sorry I don't let anyone in the house." Tobias said looking uncomfortable.
"Actually, I, uh, really have to, um, you know, go." Reid said bouncing from foot to foot. JJ looked back at him with a confused look on her face.
"You do?" she asked.
"For like 30 minutes."
"Why didn't you say something in the car?" JJ asked. Reid gave her a brief look and then looked back at Tobias.
"Do you mind?" Reid asked him again. Tobias looked behind him.
"My father doesn't like it." he told Reid.
"You father? You're like, thirty." Reid said with a confused look.
"At what age should one start disrespecting the wishes of their parents?" Tobias countered. JJ gave Reid a look and turned back to Tobias.
"Excuse my partner. We just came here because you witnessed something a few months ago, that might be very helpful to us."
"I did?" Tobias said surprised.
"You saw someone go over a wall into a yard and you called the police?" JJ asked.
"Me?" Tobias asked confused. JJ and Reid gave each other a look.
"You didn't?" JJ asked.
"Sorry." Tobias said shaking his head.
"Huh. Is there another Tobias Henkel here?" JJ asked.
"Um it's just me and my father. Charles." Tobias told her.
"There is a report on file that list you as calling 911, you were walking your dog." JJ said.
"No that's, that's wrong, I don't have a dog." Tobias said shaking his head.
"Oh, alright well. Sorry to bother you sir." JJ said with a sigh.
"Are you sure I just can't quickly use the-"
"Sorry. Have a good night." He closed the door and turned off the porch light. JJ and Reid turned and went down the steps.
"That's weird why bother calling the police in the first place, if later you're just going to pretend that you didn't." JJ wondered.
"To gauge the response time." Reid said realizing what Tobias was planning.
"What?" JJ asked confused.
"If you were gonna kill somebody but you were gonna call the police first, what would you need to know?" Reid asked her.
"How long it takes them to get there." JJ said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Reid walked around to the side of the house "Reid?"
Reid looked in the window and gasped when he saw all of the webcams open. Tobias was the unsub they were looking for. Tobias whipped his head around when he heard Reid gasp.
"JJ get back here." Reid said as he pulled out his gun as he watched Tobias get up and run out of the house and towards the barn. JJ ran up next to him panting. "He's the unsub. He's headed towards the barn come on."
JJ takes out her gun and they both run in the direction of the barn. They stop at the side of the barn.
"He's in here." Reid panted.
"You sure?" JJ asked.
"In the almost ten years you've known me have you ever seen me pull this thing out when I wasn't? Call Hotch." Reid said as he gestured to his gun. JJ rolled her eyes.
"We're in the middle of nowhere Reid, we have no cell service." JJ told him. Reid looks upset.
"Uh great, of course we have no service." Reid sighed.
"What do we do?" JJ asked.
"I don't know he's definitely in here. You cover the front I'm gonna go around back. Hotch knew we came here, he'll come looking for us. We'll, we'll just wait him out." Reid starts to walk away.
"No, no, no. Reid are you sure we should‒" Reid walked out of ear shot. "Split up?"
Reid went around the back and saw Tobias run into the cornfield. He yelled for JJ as he ran after him. "JJ, JJ he's out back."
"What?" JJ yelled back not hearing him. The barn door swung open and JJ jumped. She pointed her gun at the door. "Reid? Spence?" she called out as she slowly crept into the barn.
Reid slowed as he heard voices.
"Why are you runnin from them Devils boy?" a deep voice asked.
"They're the FBI." Reid heard Tobias respond.
"They're Devils! You're doin the Lords work." Reid crept closer. "You got nothin to be afraid of."
JJ crept even further into the dark barn. She turned on the flashlight that is attached to her gun before she moved deeper into the barn. She jumped as chains rattled a few feet in front of her. She stopped short when she hears the noise again.
"Reid?" she whispered.
"I don't want to do this anymore." Reid heard Tobias say. He heard a smack and Tobias cry out in pain.
"Don't disrespect me boy." Reid heard another smack.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'll-" there was another smack and Reid slowly walked in for a closer look.
"You don't got no choice. The lord summoned you to do his work."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
JJ took cautious steps forward in the barn. She heard another noise and took a step towards it and stepped into something wet. She froze. She looked down and pointed her light at her foot. She saw blood and took her foot out as she started to back out of the barn. She froze again as she heard a dog. She snapped her gun and light around. Her light landed on the dog as it started to growl. She heard another behind her. She looked around and saw two more dogs surrounding her. One of the dogs lunged at her and she fell back screaming.
"JJ!" Reid cried as he heard her scream followed by three gunshots. He heard a noise just behind him and he turned around just in time to see a fist coming at his face. He fell to the ground, his gun skidding just out of reach. He sat up and saw his own gun pointed at him. He put his hands up in surrender. "Wait, wait, wait!"
"I couldn't have stopped him by myself."
"Ok, ok." Reid stammered as he looked at Tobias.
"I tried to warn everyone." Tobias said with a shaky voice.
"Just relax Mr. Henkel, alright?" Reid said calmly.
"Shoot him!" he heard the deep voice say. Reid scrunched his face in confusion.
"I don't want to." Tobias said in his own voice. His expression upset. When his hand steadied and his face became stoic he started to speak in the deep voice Reid had heard earlier.
"I said shoot him, you weakling he's a Satan." Tobias started to whimper again.
"He didn't do anything." Tobias said in his own voice.
"I won't tell you another time boy, shoot him!" Tobias said in the deep voice once again like becoming a new person.
