That night the guys finished their movie and watched two more. They only went to bed at one thirty a.m. Sunday morning they slept until eight and only because Adam woke Spencer up early with a request.
S: What is it?
A: Can we go somewhere?
S: It’s eight in the morning on a Sunday morning, after we only went to bed at one thirty. Where would you want to go?
A: Uh... it’s okay. You can go back to sleep, I didn’t mean to bother you.
S: No tell me. Please.
A: Okay, uh. Would you like to go to church with me?
S: Church?
A: Uh, yes. That’s the one thing that has always stayed constant in MY life, even when I worked at the hotel Julie and I would always go.
S: Why didn’t I know of that? Amanda never said anything.
A: She didn’t believe. She thought that if there really was someone looking out for us then I wouldn’t have gone through what I did with my father.
S: Oh, then I’ll be honoured to accompany you. (He said pulling Adam closer to him and giving him a tight squeeze)
A: Okay thanks, now get up.
S: Okay but I don’t think I have anything suitable to wear.
A: Hun, your suitcase was full of suitable things to wear to church. You have dress pants, button up shirts and ties.
S: Okay, I get your point. Now when does it start?
A: Well it usually started a nine.
S: Meaning we have an hour. I think we’ll finish in time.
A: I know that I’ll finish in time but will you?
S: Oh shut up.
They got up and finished getting dressed for church with fifteen minutes left. They decided to walk as the church was down the road of the hotel where they were living.
They got to the church just as the bells began ringing. Both of them took bibles that were being handed out in the church entrance and went in, they decided on sitting in front. The pastor came in, prayed and welcomed everyone then he asked any new people in attendance to rise and Adam, Spencer and a few other people rose. They were handed microphones and asked to introduce themselves and say where they come from.
S: Hi, I’m Special Agent Spencer Reid. I’m from Quantico and I work for the FBI.
All the people gasped.
S: No don’t worry I’m not here on any police business, I’m here on personal business. (He said with a smile)
A: I’m that personal business. Hi I’m Adam Jackson and I know a few of you have heard about me but I don’t really mind because when a person is happy the negative means nothing.
Everyone clapped hands for him as he passed on the microphone and sat down. The new people kept introducing themselves while Adam and Spencer talked amongst themselves.
The church service went and Spencer actually enjoyed it. They listened to the pastor preaching and the choir singing and found it all entertaining. After the service was over the pastor asked to speak with Adam and Jackson and they all walked to the back office together.
Pastor: So how did you like the service? (He asked turning to Adam)
A: It was amazing. I kind of fell guilty that I haven’t been going for the last year.
Pastor: You shouldn’t. I heard about what happened to you last year and when you’re not in control nothing that happens can be your fault whether that’s hurting someone or now attending church so you shouldn’t feel guilty son.
S: That’s the same thing that I have been telling him this whole time but he refuses to listen to me.
Pastor: You will get there one day, don’t you worry. (He said putting his hand on Adam’s shoulder slightly making Adam flinch)
Pastor: Forgive me. (He said removing his hand)
A: It’s okay I’m just not use to it.
Pastor: Sure thing and how did you like the service? (He asks Spencer)
S: Well I don’t get to go to church often because I’m always off working somewhere and when I’m home I just want to rest so coming here today was really amazing. I truly enjoyed it and I’m really going to try to attend church as often as I can if I’m in Quantico and not working in another state and I also think Adam will benefit from it a lot.
Pastor: So I take it that the two of you are together?
Spencer decided to answer when he saw Adam looking afraid starring at his feet.
S: Uh, yes we are. I know churches are totally against all that but I’m happy and he’s happy and that’s all that matters.
Pastor: Son, I wasn’t going to oppose. I was just asking and you don’t need to feel bad or scared about it son. If t makes you happy then there is nothing me or any church can do about it. (He says walking over to Adam)
A: Thank you father.
Pastor: It’s a pleasure. So I take it you boys are leaving for Quantico soon?
S: Yes, we’re leaving on Tuesday.
Pastor: So how about you come over to my house for a delicious Sunday meal?
S: We couldn’t.
Pastor: But I’m offering.
A: I would like to.
S: Only if we aren’t burdening.
Pastor: My wife always makes enough food to feed many even though it’s just the two of us.
Hahahahaha
S: Okay, I guess we can’t say no to that now can we?
A: No we can’t.
Pastor: You can drive behind me in a little while.
S: Uh, we walked here. Our hotel is just up the road.
Pastor: Then you’ll drive with me as simple as that.
A: Thank you Father.
Pastor: It’s an absolute pleasure to have youngsters in our house all our children have gone off to collage already.
The pastor finished what he had to and then he, Adam and Spencer left.
