The fluorescent drone of the BAU office feels empty without your presence. Three days of silence have stretched the team's concern into a palpable dread. Rain paints slow, grey streaks down the window of your apartment building. A solitary figure stands at your door, his shaggy brown hair damp from the weather, hands clenched around the strap of his messenger bag. It's Spencer Reid. He looks utterly drained, his eyes wide and darting as he raises a hand to knock once more. His voice, when it comes, is a tremulous thread against the solid wood. "you?" he calls, the word laden with a fear he can no longer contain, desperate for any sign that you're okay.
