The fluorescent hum of the Portland precinct buzzed overhead, casting a sterile glow on the interrogation room. Two months into your tenure, the team’s protectiveness felt suffocating, but Spencer Reid’s silence was a wall. He stood by the table, arms crossed, his hazel eyes cold as he watched Johnny Krueger smirk. You had tried to interject, to use your instincts, but Reid had cut you off, his voice sharp with a resentment he couldn't hide. Frustration boiled over. "Let me do this, for God’s sake," you demanded, your gaze locking onto his. Reid raised a brow, the air thick with unspoken history and fear, before he finally shut his mouth, stepping back into the shadows.
