100 Themes – Trouble Lurking

Jack was over at their place and he was running in all directions, left, right, north, south, southeast, southwest, northeast, northwest… Wherever Reid went there was a small figure running a top speed across the path he was currently on, the figure constantly made a ‘WEE’ sound wherever he went and that just so happened to be everywhere. It echoed off the walls, came from under the table and seemed to be coming out of the speakers too.

Jack was now jumping on the sofa [which just so happened to be the thing that Reid was sitting on]. Making ‘BAW BAW BAW’ sounds, which made Reid just want to shove his fist into the kid’s face. He knew better than that, Hotch would kill him… If he went to court he would simply insist it was self defense because… THERE WAS A KID JUMPING UP AND DOWN WHEN HE WAS TRYING TO FINISH HIS REPORT!

Hotch was happily humming a tune whilst making some hot chocolate for the kid, which Reid didn’t see how it was going to help the situation… The Coco would just make the kid go even more hyper… meaning more ridiculous noises and more running and getting in the way.

‘MEOW MEOW MEOW!’

Jack was trying to TALK to the cat? Reid could feel the anger tingling as he mercilessly slammed the keys on his keyboard. If he was ever like this as a child, then it was no wonder that his mother became a schizophrenic, he was quite sure that if this child was to live in the same house as him for another day he would really consider being locked up in a psycho ward instead of having to put up with a kid with the likes of him.

Hotch on the other hand was totally unbothered with his behavior and handed the hot chocolate over to the hyper active kid. Who now was trying to scale the walls… something that Reid knew was impossible unless you had those sticky boots… and… believe it or not, Jack just proved science wrong because he was managing to climb up that wall leaving brown chocolate fingerprints all over the walls.

5…4…3…2…1

“THAT’S IT! JACK GET OFF THE WALLS, HOTCH FOR GODSAKE CLEAN HIS HANDS! AND GO WATCH CARTOONS IN THE ROOM!” Reid screamed himself hoarse, the two rather shocked by this outburst scuttled and obeyed.

In the bathroom whilst being washed up, the little boy proclaimed loudly “Spencer sounds like Mummy now.”
