A/N: I guess this one could be considered a sequel of the last one. Anyways Y/n was shot and is on medical leave. This is longer than the other two so yay! I think medical leave is a thing, anyways to the story!

I was just chilling in my apartment like I do most of the time when I'm home. My roommate, Ashley, was gone so it was just me. I was on medical leave and wasn't supposed to go back to the BAU for a few days.

I was watching tv when there was a knock at the door. I turned the tv and walked up to the door.

I opened the door, "JJ, what are you doing here?"

"We need your help with a case" said JJ.

"I'm on medical leave. I'm not supposed to be back for a few days"

"Y/n, it's Reid. He's in trouble"

I grabbed my go back that I always had on the counter, "You should've just led with that"

I left my apartment with JJ and locked the door. We headed to airport and met up with the rest of the team: Hotch, Prentiss, Rossi, and Morgan. Garcia was a part of the team but she doesn't really travel much.

Prentiss asked, "Y/n, what are you doing here?"

"Yeah you're not supposed to be back from your medical leave yet" said Hotch

JJ told them, "It's okay guys. I asked her for help on this case"

I asked, "By the way, where are we headed?"

"Vegas" answered Morgan.

That's where Reid is from. I was briefed on the plane. Reid has a rare vacation from work and used it to visit his mother in Vegas. He checked into a hotel but never checked out. He was last seen visiting his mother. Diana Reid didn't know her son was missing. I didn't want to be the one to tell her.

Garcia called us while we were on the plane, "Guys, this might be bigger than Reid just going missing"

"What do you mean?" asked Morgan.

Garcia told us, "There have been three other cases of guys going missing on vacation and then their bodies showing up a few days later in the dumpster of the hotels they were staying at. All of them are white and around the same age as Reid"

JJ said, "Send us the information, Garcia. We'll look at it once we get there"

Morgan pointed out, "So if it is the same unsub, then they'll be at the hotel Reid was staying at"

Hotch made a plan, "Alright. When we get there, Morgan and Rossi can check out Reid's hotel. JJ, Prentiss go to the sanitarium. Y/n and I will go down to the station. See what we have on the case and if it connected to the others"

And that is exactly what we did. Hotch talked to the lead detective on the case. I pulled up the information Garcia sent about the other victims.

Christopher Jones: He was visiting his brother in Ohio and his brother reported him missing after he failed to show up to dinner. His body was found outside a Hampton inn a few days later.

Zachary Smith: He was visiting his girlfriend in Seattle and when was reported missing by his girlfriend when he didn't show up for a date. His body was found outside of a Double Tree hotel three days later.

Marcus Hill: He was on vacation in Miami with a bunch of friends. He was reported missing after his friends couldn't find him the next day. His body was found outside of a Hyatt four days later.

All three were shot in the heart. There were signs of torture before they died. Whoever took them kept them alive for days before finally killing them. If the same unsub took Reid, that meant he was still alive.

I had to find a connection. I'm not sure it was a good thing I was able to find one so fast or not.

I knew all of these guys. I dated all of them. That's not just a coincidence. That's a pattern and not a good one.

But I didn't date Reid. In the eyes of the unsub, he could be a potential threat.

I called JJ.

JJ picked up the phone, "What's up?"

I told her, "These cases are related. The victims Garcia told us about are all my ex-boyfriends. And Reid is-"

"Who you want to be your boyfriend"

"I was going to say a potential threat but sure let's go with that. This means Reid is still alive. This others guys were kept alive for days before being shot in the heart"

"Good to know"

"I've got to call Morgan and tell him this"

I hung and dialed Morgan

"Got any news?" asked Morgan.

I told him, "Yeah, the cases Garcia told us about are related. Same unsub. All the previous victims were my ex boyfriends"

"And now they're going after Reid because they think he is your boyfriend"

"Yeah and that means he's still alive and that the unsub has a room at that hotel"

"So that means Reid is probably still in this building"

"Yeah"

He hung up and Hotch came in, wanting to see if I found a connection. I told him what I knew.

I couldn't believe it. The unsub was delusional and somehow that delusion included me. What was worse was that I knew the unsub.

Hotch asked, "Is there anyone you know who knew you dated these men and about Reid?"

I thought about it for a moment. Ex-boyfriends and crushes is the kind of stuff I talk about only with close friends. There was only one person I told that I had a crush on Reid. (Prentiss and JJ kind of figured it out)

I told him, "My roommate, Ashley Warner. She said she was going out of town for work"

Hotch pulled out his phone, "Morgan, see if Ashley Warner has a room there"

"Okay"

Morgan asked the front desk lady if anyone under the name Ashley Warner had checked in. Someone had. Room 223. Morgan and Rossi raced to the room.

Morgan found the room and kicked the door down like a bad ass. They went in and found Reid tied up to a chair. Pictures of Y/n were all over. There was a gun on the desk along with a bloody knife. There wasn't an Ashley.

Reid was beat up pretty bad. They sent him to the hospital.

I called JJ again, "They found him"

"Oh thank god. I didn't think I could handle Reid's mom for much longer" said JJ on the other line.

"He's on his way to the hospital"

"Do you know who did this?"

"Yeah, Ashley Warner"

"Isn't that your room mate?"

"Yeah, she's the only one who knows who I dated and who I like"

"I'm sorry"

"Hold on. I'm getting another call"

I checked to see who it was. It was Ashley.

"Hey Ashley" I said to make sure Hotch knew.

He made a quick call to Garcia probably to have her trace the call.

Ashley said, "You're not home"

I told her, "Yeah, I left. There was a work emergency"

"But you're on medical leave. You got shot"

"I know, it was really important so I had to go.

"Was it about that friend of yours that you keep talking about, Spencer Reid?"

I lied, "No, there's a serial arsonist in Miami. It's pretty bad"

"Well I should let you go back to work" said Ashley.

"No, I mean. The team's got it. I'm not allowed out in the field again just yet. I'm bored waiting while they're out in the field catching the guy"

They got a location and Hotch rounded up the officers as I was still on the phone. I got off the phone and was going to leave when Hotch told me to stay. I couldn't believe I was getting benched.

Ashley was out at a nearby diner having lunch. They had her arrested. Everything happened so fast with this case, it was hard to process.

I went to see Reid in the hospital. He didn't need surgery or anything major like that. He just needed an IV and some stitches.

Reid pointed out, "You're back"

I remarked, "Well JJ made a pretty compelling case for me to come back early. She said you were in trouble so I knew I had to come"

"You know Ashley said some pretty weird things"

"Yeah like what?" I asked.

"While for starters, she said that you talked about me a lot and she didn't get why. She also said you had  a crush on me" Reid told me.

Damn it, Ashley! You think you can trust a person but no. She goes and kills your ex boyfriends then kidnaps your crush/ co-worker.

Morgan came in, "The doctor just cleared you. You're free to go. The plane leaves in less than an hour so we should get going"

Saved by the Morgan. Thank god because I'm not sure what I would've said or done. Probably awkwardly laughed and left.

We got on the plane and I hadn't said another word to Reid. He started to take a nap on the couch like he usually does. I sat by JJ.

JJ told me, "I'm glad I brought you along otherwise Reid might not be on this plane right now"

I argued, "Morgan and Rossi were the ones to find him"

"Yeah by you were the one to spot the connection and figure out who the unsub was"

"Considering I've lived with her for years, it wasn't too hard. She's the only one I ever told about all those guys and Reid"

"Do you need a new roommate now?" JJ asked.

I answered, "No, I don't actually need a roommate. Ashley's just been my roommate since college. Now I'm kind of wondering what her room is like"

"I guess you can see it once you get home"

I did and what I found was pretty shocking. Pictures of me plastered around the room. Pictures of my ex's and Reid on her desk with X's over their faces. Besides the weird pictures, there wasn't much off.

I opened her closet, just her clothes and wait a second. Some of my clothes! I thought I lost these. Now I was wondering if I should just claim her clothes as mine. We were the same size after all and she won't be needing them in prison.

I went back out to the kitchen. I wanted to get some ice cream. I was just about to grab a bowl when I heard a knock at the door. I went over and opened it.

"Reid? What are you doing here?" I asked.

He came into my apartment, "Can we talk?"
