001: [Video/Voice/Action] The FBI doesn't give ransom

[yesimagenius]

[Reid pokes at the communication device a moment, brow furrowed as he tries to figure it out. Finally the video flickers on and Reid is staring down at it. He's dressed in a button down shirt, tie and grandpa cardigan sweater. He's also leaning on a cane. He's nervous but managing to keep his cool. Reid is working at keeping his mind off the last time he was kidnapped. This isn't the same, he thinks to himself. He's not tied up. Maybe this isn't a kidnapping. Maybe...]

Uhm...I-I'm Dr. Spencer Reid with the FBI. I d-don't know who you are or where this is but someone will be coming for me. If you'd like to t-talk, you haven't done anything w-wrong yet. I'm not hurt. You need to talk to me n-now because holding a federal agent against his will is a crime.

Operation Manticore? I don't think so. It could be above my clearance level.

[Give him a second]

Like the Einstein-Rosem Bridge?

I haven't been in contact with any black holes that I'm aware of.

It might be. Never had much contact with FBI or any of the other major orgs.

I ain't up with the proper sci-fi terms or nothing. But black holes, wormholes, and other holes ain't always literal holes. I just walked into a warehouse and wound up here instead. You might need to broaden your mind a bit.

N-no I get th-that--I mean...

Wormholes and parallel dimensions are all th-theoretical where I'm from.

Same here. But I've managed to see a lot of other stuff that's still considered impossible before I got here, so I was able to cope pretty quick.

I'll t-try.

I'm Reid.

Don't hurt yourself tryin'.

You can call me Max.

I like to keep busy and learn new things.

Okay, Max

That's definitely a good trait to have. If you learn how to get out of here, I'll bake ya a cake.

Re: [Voice]

I-I'll wo-work on that.
