ARTICLES ON SPENCER FROM S4E7

PERSONALS, DO NOT REBLOG. 

TITLED : ONE DOWN, TWO TO GO

A year ago, I wrote a story on young Spencer Reid who had just graduated college... at the age of sixteen! It is rare for such a young student to fulfill their undergraduate but to go on the following year and achieve his doctorate degree in Mathematics the next is a bit unheard of. 

“I’m thinking this next year I’ll go for either Chemistry or Engineering. I haven’t decided where I want to focus my energy just yet,” says the young super-genius. When I ask why he chose Cal Tech over MIT and Stanford, he quickly runs down a list of Professors he had a desire to study with. He makes no mention of the weather or girls. 

“There was a week or two where I thought I might go to Yale to study the Classics,” he says. “But then I realised I’ve already read everything they teach in the curriculum.” Sound absurd? It is, until you remember he can read 20,000 words per minute. How does that skill translate to math equations, I ask. “Surprisingly well,” he says. “Once you’ve taught one part of your brain to concentrate to focus, it frees up energy in another part of your brain, which can give you a certain lucidity. Time begins to stand still, relatively, of course.” 

TITLED : BAU’S NEWEST MEMBER 

By Paul Milworth 

It’s not everyday the Behavioural Analysis  Unit of the FBI accepts a new member to their elite team. Even more rare is the addition of a 22 year-old to the team. 

“Agent Spencer Reid has a gifted mind,” said team leader Special Supervisory Agent James Gideon, whose own resume dates back to the very beginning of the BAU. “He is young, and while he has never served in law enforcement, I see him as an integral part of the future of the BAU.” 

Others in the FBI community are surprised such a young man would be named to the FBI’s elite, but when asked, Agent Reid had this to say. “My age is not the issue. Certainly, when dealing with an emotional situation, it can be difficult to accept bad news. It’s one of the reasons logic needs to become a more prominent state of being. Logically speaking, I’m the most qualified for the job” 

Indeed, with three doctorate degrees from Cal Tech already, and a staggering IQ of 187 (higher than Einstein’s reportedly) as well as an eidetic memory, there is no psychological exam or test the FBI could put in front of him he could not ace inside of an hour. 

But what about the social aspect of the job? Knowing how to talk to victims’ families and dealing with local police are two facets of law enforcement types will tell you are impossible to learn from a book. “It’s one of the reasons I have brought him aboard,” said Gideon. “With a little tutelage and some field experience, there will be nothing Agent Red will not be able to accomplish with this time.” 

TITLED : FED SAVES RAILROAD PASSENGERS

By Rose Tamlyn USNTnews.com

One Security Officer had already been shot and killed. The FBI Agent, who happened to be on the train, was handcuffed to her chair. The stand-off, which took place yesterday in a train car in Texas, could have ended far worse, authorities say. 

“I only went in because I felt I had the best understanding of the suspect,” said Special Supervisory Agent Spencer Reid. “In these situations, you have to first of all understand who it is you’re dealing with in order to save as many people as you can. Fortunately for us, we were able to save almost everyone.” 

When asked how he handled things once inside the train, Reid said simply, “Delicately.” 

Doctor Ted Bryar, a physics professor in the midst of a psychological break, was put into custody after being rushed to the hospital, suffering from a gunshot wound from another passenger. The passenger, whose name is being withheld by the FBI, had brought the gun on board, and waited for what he judged to be the opportune time to use the weapon. 

“We do not condone the actions of the passenger who shot Doctor”...

TITLED : FBI ‘CRUCIAL’ IN FINDING MADISON CHILD KILLER

By Stanley Hartdale

Four children were dead. A fifth had gone missing. The small town of Madison locked all its doors, windows, and even cancelled little league games. 

The Sheriff was exhausted. The Deputies were stressed and at a loss for things to say to members of the community, who just wanted to know when [their] children would be safe again. 

“I called the FBI because I felt I had done everything within my own abilities to put an end to all this,” said Sheriff Donalds. 

“When our help on the case was requested, I was handed the file so that I could do a routine assessment of the case,” said Supervisory Special Agent Spencer Reid. “It became clear to me, about half way through the file; this was a serial and it wasn’t going to stop any time soon. So, we came out to Madison and we were able to help.” 

Help indeed. Because they were even here, Agent Reid was on the phone with Sheriff Donalds warning him of another abduction. Sure enough, about an hour later he received a phone call that another child had gone missing. Normal protocol was thrown out the door. 

“Normally we wait a few hours, but given the prior kidnappings and the advice from Agent Reid, we were on the case immediately. He gave us ideas of how to differentiate a missing child from one who had just wandered off for a few hours. By the time they got here, they were halfway to solving the case.” 

The parents of the recovered child, who asked to remain anonymous, expressed their gratitude to Agent Reid and his team. “Without you, we would be lose without our child.” 

Agent Reid dismissed their thanks amiably, adding, “It’s our job to help when we see fit. This was one of those times the threat was imminent and we acted. It’s a win for us.”
