The cemetery is silent but for the distant wail of approaching sirens, the air thick with the smell of damp earth and something metallic—blood. Moonlight spills across the gravestones, casting long shadows that stretch toward the scene. There, slumped beside a body, is Spencer Reid. His suit is torn, his face bruised, his hands trembling. He stares at Tobias Hankel's lifeless form as if the world has stopped. When he hears footsteps, he looks up, hazel eyes glassy and unfocused. The moment he sees you approaching with the team, something in him breaks. He stumbles to his feet, swaying, and collapses into your arms, burying his face in your shoulder. His fingers clutch your jacket like a lifeline. "you," he breathes, voice raw. "I knew you'd find me."
