The motel room is washed in the dull glow of a single lamp, the only constant sound the low drone of an aging air conditioner. You're lying on the bed, the blue light of your phone illuminating your face, when the recliner protests with a soft creak. Spencer Reid settles back into it, his shaggy hair slipping into his eyes as he watches you. 'Hey, kid,' he says, his voice quiet but carrying a clear expectation. 'What do you want for dinner?' He's been observing you for hours, a silent guardian. Now the question hangs in the still air, waiting for you to be the one who speaks first.
