No one on Spencer's team knew you existed. Definitely not the ring on your left hand displaying your three year marriage, keeping it a secret from nearly everyone, in order to keep you and your future family safe from the unknown nightmares of his job.
Safe. Until you weren't. The call came while Spencer was at work finishing some paperwork.
An unknown number.
Spencer's chest tightened with unease as it rang.
“Hello?” Heavy breathing followed through the speakers then a voice. Your voice. Weak. In pain. “Spence..” The call cut off. He tried calling again, no answer.
“Pretty boy?” Spencer hadn't noticed Morgan now standing in front of him. “Are you alright?”
No he wasn't. Not even close to alright.
“I got a call.” he answers. A now confused Derek stares back at him. “From who?” Reid sighs running his hands through his hair “I don't know, well I know who but not the number.” All of his team now look at him. “It was her.”
If it was even possible the room went quieter at his words. “My wife, y/n.” Everyone's expressions were now shocked “your what?” Emily blinks
“We've been married for three years. We decided it'd be safer to not tell anyone given this job.” Spencer says the words coming faster now. “But that was her,” his voice breaks. “There's something wrong.”
the shift in the room was immediate.
Hotch stands. "start from the beginning."
Spencer sighs pushing his hair out of his face. "unknown number. she sounded tired... uh, disoriented. that was it."
"how long ago?" Hotch questions, "three minutes, maybe." Reid replies anxiety overcoming him.
Garcia is moving before anything else could be said. "send me the number boy genius, ill work my magic."
"talk to me reid. your wife what's her routines, has she mentioned anything out of the ordinary?" Morgan steps closer.
Spencer hesitates. "she works at a clinic. works monday through friday. leaves at around seven and," his voice falters "she comes home just after five."
Hotch orders Garcia to check and cameras surrounding her daily routine. Spencer zones out picking at his fingers the sounds of the room distorting. Morgan's hand lands hard on his shoulder pulling him out of his trance.
"this is my fault." spencer whispers his voice betraying him. Morgan shakes his head, "we'll find her."
Spencer nods even though it feels as if his world is crumbling down. But he chooses to stay strong because somewhere out there, you're hurt, alone and scared.
"Reid." Garcia's voice cuts through the room. "ive got something, traffic cam, two blocks from your home, you can see her getting into a car."
Spencer stills, his heart echoing painfully.
"voluntarily?" Hotch asks
Garcia frowns "no. she's being forced."
----------------
They've been here for hours.
Spencer felt like he hadn't breathed.
After hours of checking different locations Garcia got a hit on the vehicle you were last seen in.
"A blue sedan was seen on the edge of a road near mount pleasant."
"how long ago?" Spencer stood up.
"twenty minutes ago. traffic cam caught it turning off onto a service road. nothing but old industrial ground and a few abandoned outhouses." Garcia says without hesitation.
"send me the coordinates." Hotch orders "we move now."
Spencer didn't wait, chair scraping against the floor.
"Reid." Morgan speaks.
"i'm coming." He calls back. his mind set on nothing else other than finding you.
The drive felt endless.
Spencer had to believe that you were okay.
--------
The building was run down, vines engulfing the walls hiding the years on neglect beneath it. The wood creaked as the wind blew against the structure. the team surrounded the building breaking the barrier between the light and the darkness within. Morgan stepped first clearing the main entrance. The place was silent, too silent.
"you're gonna want to see this." Rossi breaks the silence staring down at the floor. The group turned instantly. spencer stomach dropped, the air in his lungs leaving.
Hotch lifts his gun up nodding at Rossi to open the hatch. The rest of the team followed aiming their guns at the wooden door. The door creaked echoing through the house.
For a second there was silence. then a sharp cry. spencer's body tensed.
"please.. stop" you plead weakly.
"Go on." Hotch orders watching as Derek already moves. Spencer doesn't wait his feet moving before he can even think.
The room was big but empty. nothing but a chair that held you, tied up tears mixed with blood streaming down your face. The man in front you was holding a knife to your cheek pressing down. You squeal in pain, your body trying to move away from the guy.
"FBI. don't move." Aaron shouts. The unsub turns around rapidly lunging forward.
A shot rung out and silence followed after as the unsub falls to the ground in front of you.
Spencer didn't wait a second before moving to your side pulling out his pocket knife to cut the rope.
"hey, you're okay, you're safe." his voice broke out as he gently rubs your wrists. you wrap yours arms around his waist weakly, your body collapsing onto him.
------
You wake up a few hours later in hospital bed, the bright led lights stinging your eyes and sending a sharp pain through your head. you look around the room seeing spencer sat, his head down on the bed, hand tightly grasping on top of yours.
"spence.." you say weakly your voice hoarse. his heads shoots up his eyes soften when he sees you awake.
"your awake." he breathes relief overcoming him.
you smile weakly tilting your head to look at him. He stands, his hand gently cups your face rubbing his thumb against your cheek.
You try sitting up wincing slightly at the pain in your side. Spencer’s hands move quickly to your shoulders.
“hey, stay still” you look at him with pleading eyes,
“I want to go home” you say leaning into his touch. Your husband nods “I know sweetheart, you will soon.”
