Summary
“Hotch began to head to the other end of the underpass, when he noticed something alarming. Although the underpass was full of half awake drug addicts, this one seemed particularly out of it. He was dressed like a hooker but he was clearly struggling to stand. All his weight was leaned against the wall making his hair fall in front of his eyes and obstruct his face. If Hotch had to guess his pupils would be completely blown.
“Are you okay?” Hotch asked the young man, trying to get a look at his face. He placed a hand on his shoulder causing the man to jerk his face up and pull away. That’s when Hotch felt all the air leave his lungs. In front of him was Spencer Reid. The long gone Spencer Reid. His former teammate Spencer Reid. The dear friend and co-worker he had spent months missing Spencer Reid.”
Years after the resignation and subsequent disappearance of Spencer Reid, Aaron Hotchner finds him high, selling his body on the streets of DC. Determined to not lose contact with him again, Hotch convinces Reid to work for the Bureau undercover to take down an international sex trafficking ring. As more time is spent together and feelings grow, Hotch’s loyalty to justice and the Bureau are called into question.

Summary
A disturbed tale of an investigation gone wrong.
It was just going to be a quick look around. Little did they know, they were walking into a nightmare... or maybe the gates of hell. Morgan and Reid walk straight into a trap and things just get worse and worse. Will they ever be the same? Will they even make it out alive?
BIG TRIGGER WARNING (like all the triggers): please do not read this if you get triggered by traumatic stories. This one has a lot of detail and is pretty graphic. PLEASE keep yourself safe and don't chance it if you're unsure- it's not worth it.

Eight years ago, Spencer Reid disappeared, and Jason Gideon became all but traceable.
