Because of the late night, Reid woke up late and was rushing around his house to get to work on time. He had a hard time falling asleep after the romantic kiss with Kaylynn. He never expected it to happen, so he was more than excited about it. A part of him was dreading going to work because he knew that he would need to talk to Hotch, as promised a few days earlier.

Reid shoved on his shoes as he walked to his car, his hair a mess and his messenger bag falling off his shoulder. He stopped dead in his tracks when he noticed a note on his windshield. He picked it up and immediately set it on the hood of his car, taking out a folder from his bag to put it in.

'I'll kill you if you ever touch her again' the note read. Reid knew exactly who it was from: Kay's ex, Jason. He knew now that everyone would be all up in their business now, no way to get around it. A situation like this is too extreme to leave alone.

Reid arrived late, surprising the team. Morgan was smiling and followed Reid as he walked to Hotch's office.

"So pretty boy, get lucky?" He asked, knowing that he went to a late night dinner with Kay.

"I wish," he stated and walked into Hotch's office. "We have a problem."

"What?" Hotch asked, looking at the folder in Reid's hand. Morgan paused in the doorway of Hotch's office, waiting to see what was in the folder.

"This was on my windshield this morning," He pulled it out with a tissue and let Hotch take it. Hotch read the note and glared up at Reid.

"What happened?" He demanded as he stood up.

"We kissed, last night," Reid said nervously.

"Morgan, get Kaylynn in here," he requested of Morgan, who made his way to the bullpen. Kay walked in a minute later.

"Yeah Aaron?" She looked confused.

"Has Jason been in contact with you?" He asked, masking his anger well.

She looked at Reid with a disappointed look, then back to Hotch to answer him. "Yes, for about two weeks. He said he was going to be at my place when I got off work the day we left for Georgia. When I didn't show, he became angrier. Spencer figured it out, came back to my place to make sure I was safe. Why?" She said, looking at the piece of paper that Hotch was sliding into a page protector.

"He threatened Reid's life," he said, handing the note to her. She read it and closed her eyes, trying to keep the tears from anger and fear in. "How long have you two been involved?" Hotch asked, sounding angry.

"I kissed him last night, that's it," Kay said and wiped under her eye, catching the tear that slipped by.

"Reid, Kay, neither one of you are leaving the BAU till we pick him up. Tell the team to meet in the conference room in 10 minutes," he said flatly and picked up the phone and began telling Garcia to look up everything she can on Jason. Kay and Reid turned, walking out of Hotch's office, the eyes of their team members on them.

"Sorry," Reid said aloud.

"He was bound to find out sooner or later. I should have known not to kiss you," she said, cursing herself for doing it when she knew Jason was around. Reid misunderstood what she said, thinking she was regretting kissing him altogether. She saw the hurt on his face.

"No no, that came out wrong. I meant for doing it when I knew he could be around," she said, touching his arm lightly and he just nodded. "No really, believe me, I kissed you because I wanted to. Pretty badly actually," she said quieter as the neared the rest of the team.

"Hey hey," Morgan said with a huge smile on his face.

"Conference room, 10 minutes," Kay repeated Hotch's words and grabbed her stuff from the desk and made her way to the conference room.

"What's going on?" Prentiss asked Reid.

"Her ex threatened my life because he caught us kissing. He's also been harrassing her for weeks, which she kept secret," Reid replied, then grabbed his stuff on the way to the conference room. "Hey," he said quietly to Kay, who was in there by herself still.

"Hey," she said and took a deep breath. "I feel so bad for dragging you into this."

"Don't be, I never would have had the guts to kiss you first," he said and then turned to see JJ and Hotch walk in. JJ just kind of smiled at Reid, then continued talking to Hotch about what progress Garcia had made. Soon everyone was in the conference room, dissecting Kaylynn's previous abusive relationship and her kiss with Reid the night before.

"He's obviously hiding, waiting for Kay to come out. Or Reid," Prentiss said to Hotch as they sat undercover in Kay's apartment complex.

"I should have put a bullet in him when I had the chance," Hotch said quietly.

"That wouldn't have solved much," Prentiss said laughing.

"I think I'd feel better right now," he said, rubbing his eyes. "I'm like a father figure for Reid, so I want him to be happy. But I feel like I'm supposed to protect my sister, and here she is kissing Reid," he said.

"It's completely normal. You're just conflicted. It's harder to deal with someone you know dating your sibling than someone you don't know," she said back, trying to calm his nerves. "At least it's not Morgan," she laughed and so did Hotch.

"Thank god," he said.

"Oh my god I am bored!" Kay said aloud, frustrated by the fact that she was sitting in the conference room for the 10th hour that day. Sure, she got to spend time with Reid, but she was also joined by Rossi and JJ.

"We need you to keep thinking. You know him better than anyone else. What type of car could he have taken? Borrowed a friend's car? What type of places would he hang out at?" Rossi probed.

"I don't know, I wasn't really allowed to be around his friends. It was a pretty secluded and messed up relationship," she said, trying to avoid their gazes. "Look, he's not going to show himself until he sees me. That's the only way he'll get caught."

"You know, maybe she is right. What if we staged a date with her and Reid, trying to draw him out?" JJ said, using her newly certified profiling skills.

"You know, that just might work. The current target of his aggression is their relationship. So if we thrust it in his face, he'd have to act. Reid blatantly ignoring his threat would send him over the edge," Rossi said and dialed Hotch, who reluctantly agreed to the new plan.
