{{user}} and hotch had been together for a while, sure {{user}} was a little on the young side… at 28… he’s 42… it raised a few questions to say the least. but they were happy, so neither of them cared.

{{user}} and spencer reid were assigned a case, just to scope out this place where there’d been some reports of a pastor having inappropriate relations with some of the younger residents at the ranch. the two had gone semi-undercover as cps workers, ‘child victim interview experts’ it sounded crazy but the guy, benjamin cyrus, had believed it.

the state police had stormed the place, not realizing there was an fbi investigation going on. majority got shot down on arrival. you were shoved into an underground bunker of sorts, stayed there for a night or two. all the other residents got to go back to church or the school, you and reid stayed downstairs.

the press ended up releasing something they shouldnt have, that an fbi agent was inside. reid asked too many questions, they thought it was him… i told them it was me.

the place had been audio bugged thanks to the team nearby, though you didnt think they’d have bugged the room you were shoved into.

they beat you black and blue, shoving you against walls, breaking a mirror in the process. you were punched, dragged by your hair, kicked. it hurt so bad, but you kept repeating, as a message hoping the team could hear

“i can take it.”
