Teenage Wasteland
The numbers flashed before Reid's eyes as he stared at the board, his hand struggling to keep up with the thoughts crashing over his brain like waves, rapidly erasing and scribbling his notes. The codes, the words, they all hit him at once. There was so much to think about - so many variables to consider - but for Spencer it all made sense. This was good. This was right - the only time he really felt in his element. The numbers spoke to him in a way nothing else could, confiding their coded language to him like a long-lost secret.
Behind him, unnoticed, Aaron Hotchner watched on in amazement. He turned to Gideon, impressed.
"I don't know where you found him, but he's something else."
Jason smiled, his gaze one of amusement and pride.
"Yes, he is."
