Black friday

Chapter 31 #30

After the Dayton rape case ended, Clement returned to Quantico with BAU.

Clement didn't inquire about the follow-up development, he only heard about Elle's departure from Reid.That's right, even if Clement and Reid showed up in time to stop Elle who was going to do something wrong, after the case was closed, Hotch still made the decision to let Elle leave BAU first.

Hotch thinks this is a good decision for both parties. We all know how intense the work pressure of BAU is, and Elle's situation is too sensitive. After Hotch talked with her frankly, Elle also accepted his deployment, and through Gideon and a A psychiatrist who is quite authoritative in the industry got on the line.

When Reid said this, his expression was not very good-looking, but his mind was still calm.

"While Elle is temporarily away from the BAU, Hotch has also told us privately that he would welcome a healthy Elle agent back at any time," Reid said.

A smile appeared on his pale and handsome face, and Clement said, "This is a great ending."

Reid said: "Great!"

He seemed to think of something, and couldn't help laughing: "Hotch just has a cold face. In fact, we all know that he asked Gideon to introduce a psychiatrist first. After all, Gideon left BAU last time because of his psychological problems. The reason, he himself is not quite willing to talk about this issue."

Clement nodded: "I can tell."

He said: "Everyone of you in BAU has your own persistence and beliefs. Maybe your personalities are completely different, but some essential things are the same."

Reid smiled sheepishly.

At this time, the two of them were sitting in Clement's warehouse, facing each other on the floor, with a special chess set in between.

Black and white grids are the constant melody in chess, but the patterns of chess pieces can be developed into various strange shapes.

Reid picked up a black stone horse and said curiously, "I thought you'd make these chess pieces in a cooler way."

Clement smiled: "For example?"

Reid thought about it, and said: "For example, some voodoo products look like those funerary objects placed in the tomb, full of indescribable sense of retro and mystery endowed by history."

"Or replace these shrimp soldiers and crab generals with your favorite animals. As for the material, I guess ancient silver and old copper will be more in line with your personal aesthetics...By the way, Clement, I don't think I saw your decoration with bone products?"

Clement smiled and said: "Customizing chess is always time-consuming. If you make a too complicated style, it will be like a cat and a tiger. And, look at the spider line at the bottom of this chess piece, isn't it the embodiment of my aesthetics?" .”

Reid smiled at him: "I noticed."

"As for the bones..." Clement placed the piece on the chessboard, leaning his head slightly on his raised knees, and said, "I always feel that bones are a very personal thing."

Reid became interested: "Oh?"

Clement said: "You see, a person lives on his own skin from birth. This skin is the only thing that human beings bring with them after birth. The soul is the lonely self, and the body is the essence of the self. When those artistic words describe a person who has nothing, the premise is always 'except for him', which shows that the only thing that human beings really have forever is this body."

"Bones are like this. They belong to the owner of their skins, they belong to themselves, and they can't belong to me. Even if I get those things and put them in my warehouse, I will only feel that they have seized my territory. It's not that I use them for decoration."

Reid moved the chess and said, "That's true."

Clement ticked the corner of his mouth.

After several rounds of chess games, Clement also found that Spencer's mood was still not very high, probably because Elle's resignation made him feel uncomfortable, and he needed to find someone to talk to. Clement also followed him, and the two chatted while playing chess, talking about all kinds of miscellaneous knowledge, and it was dark in the blink of an eye without realizing it.

Reid, who had been sitting cross-legged on the carpet all afternoon, stood up, and before he could stand still, he let out an "ah", and fell back again because of the numbness.

Clement reminded: "Spencer, slow down." Then he pulled the chessboard away and tapped Reid's leg lightly with his hand.

Reid grinned and said, "I didn't pay attention to the time, I thought of it just now."

When the two of them played together, they naturally didn't need their mobile phones as a foil, so they threw them aside. Reid also forgot that he was in the same position all afternoon, and stood up before he was ready.

Clement leaned forward and pulled the heavy curtain, looked at the sky outside and said, "It's night so soon."

He helped Reid up, and Reid held his arm, limped and jumped twice: "It's almost there."

Clement helped him to the sofa, and Reid took out his phone from above to look at it, and was also surprised: "It's already seven o'clock in the evening?"

"time flies."

Clement said, "I think so too."

He also sat next to Reid for a while, touched the gap between the sofa and Reid's back with one hand, and wrapped it around Reid's waist: "Are you hungry?"

He stretched out his arms again and stroked Reid's stomach.

Reid said: "I don't feel it unless you tell me."

Clement winked at him, "What about after that?"

Reid said honestly: "I'm so hungry, the kind of hunger that sticks my chest to my back."

Clement smiled and said, "Then eat at my place, and don't go back, just sleep at my place tonight."

Reid said yes.

The emotional development of Clement and Reid can be said to be quite natural, and the progress is fast, but there are clear traces from the beginning to the end.However, speaking of it, today was the first time Reid stayed overnight in Clement's warehouse. After the two shared dinner at Add□□s's house, Clement opened the bedroom door and let Reid go in and have a look.

After returning home on Wednesday, Clement moved back to his room to sleep. His room decoration was simple and gloomy. Just as Reid summed up Clement's preferences, Clement designed his room like a gloomy and dark ancient tomb, with three walls There are iron hooks and candlesticks nailed on them, and burnt wood wind chimes and ceramic ghost faces are hung on the iron hooks.

As soon as Reid walked in, he was fascinated by the shiny and fair face of the evil ghost, and he said, "Is this Prajna?"

This ghost mask is generally red, white and black. Reid remembers that the color scheme of the "ghost mask" in Japanese anecdotes he has seen is roughly the same.

But Clement denied his guess, and explained: "Panruo is a ghost transformed from a woman's resentment. Although the color matching is similar, there are ghost horns on Banruo's head."

"It's just an ordinary ghost mask. It was given to me by local residents when I went to a small tribe to gather folk songs."

Reid said: "It's beautiful."

Clement said, "I like it too."

They walked a few more steps inside, and Reid saw a dark green tapestry hanging in the dark corner shaded by the candlelight, with symbol-like cursive characters darkly embroidered with silver thread.

Reid felt something in his heart, and walked closer to see: "Gomez Addams..."

Clement followed his line of sight and smiled, "That's my family tree."

He also stepped forward and pointed to a few girls: "This is my uncle, this is my aunt, this is my brother, Wednesday, Lurch, Thing... and my little uncle Fester who has been missing for many years."

Reid opened his mouth, then quickly closed it again.

Clement raised his lips and smiled: "Do you think the name is strange?"

Reid nodded his head.

"Wednesday's child is full of sadness, and Fester's life is gradually festering..." Clement pointed at the two names, and said, "This is the best blessing from the family."

Reid thoughtfully, glanced at Clement, and said softly, "What about you?"

Addams' blessing is a sad funeral song, but Clement's interpretation is warmth and kindness.

Clement fell silent.

Reid's heart was slowly hanging high, and with his clever inference, he didn't need to think twice to know that Clement's real name was definitely not much better in Addmas' opinion.What's more, Clement talked about Wednesday's family but never mentioned his own biological parents... So, what kind of mood did his family have in choosing this name for the young baby?

Clement grabbed his hair, and he brushed back the broken hair on his forehead with his fingers: "Clement's name is an anomaly, and Clement is also an anomaly in the Addams family."

His expression and voice are calm, not sad, not melancholy, not painful.

Reid carefully counted Clement's mood at the moment, and for some reason he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "But Wednesday admires you."

Clement smiled at him, her eyebrows curled up in a beautiful arc, "She is a rebellious and obedient little girl."

Seeing that Reid's eyes were still full of worry, he pointed his index and middle fingers between his eyebrows, "Smile my dear Spencer, when you smile I can see the Milky Way spinning."

Reid is inexplicable: "What?"

Clement just looked at him and smiled without speaking.

After pondering for a while, Reid finally figured out the three-point taste, he smiled at Clement following Clement's intention, and stopped entangled with Clement on this issue.Speaking of this, Reid has always felt that Clement's romanticism is inherent, and he feels that he will not be able to catch up with Clement's footsteps even if he takes several doctoral exams.

The two walked back to the center from the corner. Like many archaeological tombs, the center of the tomb is the coffin of the tomb owner, and Clement's bed is neatly left alone in the center of the bedroom.

Standing in front of the coffin, Reid glanced casually, and saw several coffins stacked in the corner of the other wall.

Reid: "..."

Suddenly scared.

But Reid won't force himself now, but said to Clement: "I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."

Clement said "hmm", "Why? You can sleep on my bed, it's very comfortable."

Reid said: "I'm a little scared..."

Clement naturally couldn't fail to consider this point. He let Reid stay overnight because he had his own way of saying: "Don't be afraid, this is my bed, and there are living people sleeping in it."

He deliberately grinned and showed Reid his two sharp canine teeth, "Look, it's only a handsome vampire, not a mummy, who cheats the corpse."

Reid: "Pfft."

It turned out that Clement's joke worked, and Reid was strangely less scared. After they washed up and chatted in the room for a while, Clement wanted to go to the lounge to sleep.

Reid raised his hand and grabbed the corner of his prison uniform, and said, "I'm a little afraid of ghosts..."

Clement looked at him, Reid's eyes were clean, reflecting Clement's handsome and indifferent face.

This face revealed his good mood at the moment when the owner didn't even know it.

In the end, Clement and Reid lay down together in the large coffin, their fingers interlocked.

Clement said, "Don't be afraid, we'll sleep together."

The author has something to say:

I'm afraid that no one has counted yet.
