Fics like With Friends Like These

Having a machine gun pointed at his face really wasn’t what he’d had on his case bingo today. Spencer had a choice here – he could keep playing this funny game where he acted like a defenseless dumbass (who was coincidentally a total genius) in front of a group of incredibly experienced profilers. He could let his lip wobble and his hands tremble and Hotch take lead with no real knowledge of how experienced the man was with hostage situations. He could put his fate into his unit chief's hands. Or he could kill Philipp Dowd with a single headshot and prevent this whole thing from going wrong. He just needed to get the guy's attention far enough away from Hotch that he could take the gun out of his ankle holster and take his shot. That was all he had to do; a simple plan that took him about five seconds to construct, path to resolution. He was never one to put his fate in other people's hands. His CIA career proved that well enough. Spencer started talking before Hotch could.
