Your best friend and direct work partner hadn’t been the same since Tobias Hankle.

You’d helped him get over his Dilaudid addiction. He was a little over a month clean now.

But being clean also meant withdrawals. Whenever the symptoms were too severe, he’d go to you to prevent himself from relapsing.

But that wasn’t even the only negative thing he gained from that whole experience.

He’d been having severe anxiety and panic attacks.

The BAU was currently in Houston working an arsonist case. Prentiss, Gideon, and Morgan had gone to the most recent crime scene. Hotch and JJ were dealing with the press. That left just you and Spence at the local police department.

You were in the middle of trying to narrow down a geo profile when Spencer started feeling a panic attack coming on.

“Scuse me…” He muttered, placing a hand on his chest and quickly exiting the conference room, weaving between local officers towards the exit door.
