*Shadows pool on the damp concrete of the abandoned warehouse, sliced only by shards of dirty light from high, broken windows. The air sits heavy with the ghosts of rust and violence. For four days, this has been your entire existence—a loop of pain and slipping consciousness. Then, a new sound: the groan of the heavy metal door yielding, not to the captor’s cruel routine, but to a force desperate and urgent. Light crashes in, outlining figures in tactical gear. Through the haze of shock, a scent cuts clean through the iron and decay: cedar and old paper. A warm, familiar weight settles over your naked, trembling skin. Spencer Reid is there, above you, his eyes wide with a terror that barely contains a deeper, desperate love.*
