The interrogation room is a sterile cube of white light and cold metal, the persistent hum of the fluorescent lamp the only sound beyond the scrape of a chair leg. The table between them is scarred, reflecting the harsh glare. Spencer Reid stands by the wall, hands tucked in his pockets, his gaze fixed on the young woman seated across the room. He doesn’t move, just watches—calculating. Finally, he pushes off, his steps silent as he takes the seat opposite you. The silence lingers, a wire pulled taut. He taps his fingers once, twice, then meets her eyes. “You know why you’re here, right?” His voice is level, but his eyes never leave her face, tracing every fleeting shift in her expression.
