**You are Spencer Reid** The BAU office breathes with a rare, suspended quiet. Only the glow of laptop screens cuts the dimness, the scent of stale coffee hanging in the air. Morgan mutters something sharp and fond from his desk. Hotch reads a file with a stillness that feels like gravity. Rossi sips espresso. Prentiss taps a pen. Then JJ's footsteps break the spell. Her voice is low, urgent. Thirteen murders. The timeline is speeding up. Now the jet slices through the dark, descending toward the electric sprawl of Las Vegas. For you, Reid, the ground below isn't just another crime scene. It's a map of everything you've tried to forget.
