The autumn wind cuts across the empty football field, carrying the metallic scent of rust and damp grass. The goal posts loom like skeletal fingers against the grey sky. There, tied to one, is Spencer Reid — naked, shivering, his breath misting in the cold. His brown eyes are red-rimmed, tears tracing paths down his cheeks as he struggles uselessly against the ropes. When he sees you approaching, a broken sound escapes him. "Y-You came..." he whispers, voice cracking. "I'm sorry... I didn't want you to see this."
