'Morgan, you need to get to the hospital, I can't say a lot but Garcia's hurt.'
Hurt. She can't be hurt; she was on a stupid date. He thought as he looked at his watch, she should be home by now, not at the hospital hurt. He got into his SUV and raced to the hospital. He felt anger, not for the person that had hurt her but the fact that they had ended on an argument, he could never get over that, especially if she died. She couldn't die though. He arrived at the hospital and found the rest of the team gathered in the waiting room that Hotch had told him they would be. Robbery, this was no robbery. He thought as Hotch updated him.
He felt the anger bubble, and turned to release it as the doctor came out. He heard her name; they all jumped in to find out. He spoke to them about what one bullet had done to her. She was alive that was enough assertion for his mind to take. Hotch told them to stay, he refused; he couldn't be there so he left.
Hotch and Rossi had made the remaining three members stick around, Garcia needed them more than ever. Hotch was slightly annoyed at Morgan's lack of compassion, he realised he needed time to reassess and he hoped that it would mean that Morgan would finally open his eyes to the thing right in front of him. Hotch got the phone call that Garcia was up and when he had rang Morgan, he heard the lack of enthusiasm that his best friend was up and alive. He mulled over it until Garcia had told the others that the person behind this was her date of that night. When he had seen Morgan face to face it didn't go down too well. Morgan just asked to be left out of working on the case, that he was far too involved to think straight. Hotch respected that choice and left it all out. No one told Morgan anything, not unless he asked, and he didn't. He didn't even ask how Garcia was. Everyone was beginning to get tired of what Morgan had become.
Hotch found out that Morgan had gone to the hospital late one night to see Garcia, he stood at her door and watched her sleep and then left. He couldn't help but wonder how this type of neglect would play on Garcia's recovery but he knew he couldn't be good.
