Gideon was suspicious, he was suspicious and frustrated and jealous, this was the third time he had looked up and seen Morgan and Reid standing close enough to touch but not touching. Their gazes locking and catching across a room when they thought no one was noticing them, Morgan volunteering to take Reid with him while doing things for the case, and Reid smiling more when Morgan spoke to him. It was suspicious and Gideon didn't trust it, not to mention now that they were all buddy-buddy, Reid didn't have as much time to hang on his every word like he used to. Jason Gideon doesn't share well, and Reid was his damnit!

Looking around him as his team scrambled to find the man killing these families, Gideon grabbed Reid before he could go off with Morgan once more.

"You're coming with me."

He didn't like it when Reid went off with Morgan, it felt wrong somehow not to have the younger man with him, asking his incessant questions and spouting his statistics. With Reid walking next to him, a warm presence along his side, Gideon could relax and work on the case without wondering where he was all the time, or worrying that Morgan wasn't taking good enough care of the young genius. He didn't understand, after all the teasing and poking the older man did to Reid, why he would want to spend more time with Morgan, and he didn't want to find out.

Gideon knew he'd made Reid uncomfortable when he'd told the younger man to interview Eric Miller, separating Morgan from the younger man in the process. He'd seen the look they had shared when Reid scratched his neck and fidgeted uncomfortably, but he wanted Reid to do it himself and from what Hotch told him, Reid had done well. Making their way outside for one of their rare breaks to get something to eat before they rushed to finish the case, Gideon started the car and drove off in silence for a few moments until they were almost to their destination.

It was nice to have Reid all to himself, the silence of the car was not awkward or uncomfortable, this was the way things were supposed to be.

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you, within me I can't find no rest
Where I'm going is anybody's guess

Chorus:
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is, incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It's written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

Chorus:
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is, incomplete

Bridge:
I don't mean to drag it on
But I can't seem to let you go
I don't wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)

Chorus:
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is, incomplete

Incomplete
