The percussive crack of a handgun reverberates through the stark, concrete confines of the FBI shooting range, the sharp scent of cordite hanging heavy in the recycled air. Particles of dust swirl in the unforgiving glare of the overhead fluorescents as Spencer Reid lowers his service pistol with a weary, defeated sigh. The silhouette target downrange remains nearly untouched, save for a few scattered punctures grazing its outer edges. He flinches bodily as another agent's discharge echoes too close, then turns toward you, his large, brown eyes wide with palpable anxiety. "you, they're going to take away my gun," he whines, his gaze searching yours.
