The four of them paced the hospital lobby nervously. The team, minus Garcia who was still at headquarters in Quantico and Gideon, who had gone with Reid because he wouldn't allow anyone to touch him unless Gideon was there, were waiting anxiously for news on Reid's condition.

After they discovered Tobias Hankels cabin in the woods, Reid had managed to stumble over to the ambulance himself but that was about it. After a few hushed words he had passed out completely and was rushed to the hospital for examination.

"Calm down, guys," Hotch ordered "You're making me nervous."

"He'll be fine, right?" JJ asked nervously for the millionth time in the hour they'd been standing there.

"For the last time, JJ, I don't know," Hotch grumbled, "We're not doctors."

JJ took a step toward the desk and Morgan stopped her,

"Don't ask the doctor, he told us he'd let us know the second they know something."

"How'd you know I was going to ask him?"

"Cause that's what you do. You ask us, we say we're not doctors, you ask the doctors, they don't know yet so you come back and ask us."

"Sorry," She scowled, "I'm nervous."

"We're all nervous," Emily said, "You didn't make this happen, so just calm down."

JJ's eyes widened. The others knew that she secretly felt responsible for what happened to Reid because she had been with him, and it was kind of the unspoken rule of the team that they protect their youngest.

"Here," Hotch said, taking out his wallet and putting it in her hands, "Why don't you go down to the gift shop and buy Reid a nice teddy bear."

"That's a good idea," She said, taking Hotch's wallet and disappearing around the corner.

"Finally, a moment's peace," Morgan sighed.

"He will be alright though, won't he?" Prentiss asked.

The two men groaned.

"Where's JJ?" Gideon asked, appearing in the doorway.

"We had to send her off to the gift shop," Hotch explained, "She was freaking out."

Gideon frowned, "We've got some…news."

Morgan said "Good news?" at the same time Emily said "Bad news?"

"I don't know," Gideon said, "The doctor said there've been some complications."

"Why aren't you in there?" Hotch asked.

"They sedated him. He woke up but he couldn't move. Every time anyone other than me got near him he'd freak out so they had to put him under. They're running the tests now."

Hotch nodded slowly.

"I should go back in there in case he wakes up," Gideon said, turning to go, "I'll come back out the second I know something."

As soon as Gideon left JJ appeared with a large brown teddy bear. Noticing their faces she demanded,

"What, what happened?"

Hotch filled her in and she began pacing around, running her hands frantically over the teddy bear. Emily gently took the bear and JJ began pacing back and forth between Hotch and Morgan.

"He'll be alright, though, won't he?" She asked Morgan.

Morgan rolled his eyes.

"You know what, I think he needs a good get well card," Hotch said, "I'm not very good at these things, do you think you could pick one out."

"Yeah, yeah, of course," JJ said, running off toward the gift shop again.

Morgan and Hotch exchanged a look that said if it weren't for the circumstances they would be laughing.

"Maybe you should just tell her he'll be fine," Morgan suggested, "Then she'll stop running around like a chicken with its head cut off."

"Yeah, and what if that turns out not to be true," Emily demanded, "What would you do then?"

"I'll explain it to her," Morgan said aggrivatedly, "Just tell her something to shut her up."

"The gift shop thing seems to be working pretty well," Hotch mused, "Maybe we could get her to run across town and get the car fixed."

"You guys better not be talking about car repairs right now," Gideon appeared in the doorway, shaking his head.

They all turned their undivided attention to Gideon.

"His tox screen came back positive for diluad…I guess Tobias injected him with it," Gideon reported.

"Will he be okay?" JJ demanded, appearing in the doorway with an oversized card.

"We don't know yet," Gideon shook his head, "I should get back there."

"Sign this first." She thrust it into Gideon's hands.

He seemed startled by the sheer size of the card, it was two by three feet. Gideon signed the card and left again while the rest of the team passed around the enormous card. When that was done, Morgan called Garcia while JJ follwed him around, anxiously trying to hear Garcia's end as she dug up information on Diluad. Finally Morgan got frustrated with JJ's antics and said,

"Hold on a sec, sweetness…JJ!"

"What?" She demanded.

"I bet he'll be hungry when he wakes up…go get some candy or something."

She nodded and disappeared. Hotch looked up with the beginnings of a smile on his tired face. When Morgan hung up Gideon was once again standing in the doorway. JJ returned at the same instant with a basket of goodies.

"I finally got some answers," Gideon announced.
