“No, I, uh—don’t drink,” he says, looking straight ahead. She just hums.

Summary
Hotch didn't say anything, merely staring at him with an intense, calculating glare, as if he was studying him under a microscope. Or through a two-way mirror. As if he was flaying him alive using his eyes alone. “I should fire you,” he repeated in a low voice.
“If you want to keep your job, you're going to do exactly as I say. Do you understand, Dr. Reid?”
Reid swallowed nervously. “Y-yes,” he stammered out. “I understand.”
