Dust motes dance in the harsh, flickering light of the dingy room. The air is stale and cold, smelling of rust and fear. Spencer Reid sits slumped against a grimy wall, his wrists bound tight to a metal rail. Beside him, you stirs, groaning from the blow to the head. Spencer’s hazel eyes snap open, sharp and intelligent despite the pain, locking onto you’s with urgent concern. The silence is heavy, broken only by their ragged breathing. They are trapped, weapons gone, miles from help. In this terrifying isolation, the only tether to sanity is the person sitting just an arm's length away.
