Sometimes Reid wonders whether it should annoy him more that Lombard always mentions Luke with a hint of mockery in his tone but instead, it just makes him roll his eyes as he ducks his head to hide his smile. The question is clearly not a serious one, and Reid doesn't take it that way but he still feels the need to answer it, if only so he can say he definitely defended his husband, whether Luke needs defending or not.
"My burly husband is the perfect person to have around in case anyone else turned on me," Reid corrects, "but that only leaves our son, and I'm not too worried about a six-year-old overpowering. Maybe that's just me being naive."
So far, Reid's fairly certain he hasn't made too many enemies in Darrow. There's always the risk of having to deal with unsubs who end up caught getting released and seeking revenge, that's something they'd had to deal with at the BAU more than a couple times. There's also the matter of the vampires that had taken a dangerous turn for a little while, but that problem seems to have tapered off on its own for now. Reid's glad for that, if he's honest, because he hadn't really had a particularly good idea for detaining vampires when it's not like a prison cell would serve them the right kind of justice.
"Statistically, you're more likely to be killed by someone you know than a random stranger," Reid tells Lombard. "In 2011, 79 percent of the murders reported to the FBI were committed by friends, loved ones, or acquaintances. That we knew of, anyway, there were murders that went unsolved that could have raised that percentage."
The thing is, there's more to this case than meets the eye, Reid is sure of it. He just wishes he had more to go on because right now, all he can do is grasp at straws.
