AN: So the JJ/Reid Shipper in my died a little last night, so I decided to write an alternate ending to the season finale. I hate stories where Will becomes a crazed psycho and becomes a wife beater. So in this one, he decides to sacrifice himself and drive the SUV off the side of the Key Bridge in DC, instead of taking Izzy to his house (I can't believe he did that by the way). It's a story of loss, friendship, and new beginnings. As always I do not own Criminal minds.
Chapter 1~
"Where's that cop, I ain't got all day. I'll make it easy, send in the cop and I'll let a couple of the hostages go. A sign of good faith isn't that what you said?" Chris said to a very determined David Rossi.
"Releasing the hostages is a great first step in resolving this conflict, but we can't send in someone else to get killed." The older agent said.
Chris grabbed one of the male hostages and ordered him to pick up the phone.
"Say your name" he demanded.
"Sh—Sean Harper" he chocked. And with that, Chris pulled the trigger. Hostages screamed.
"That was on you, David Rossi. You killed Sean Harper, not me. Send in the officer now, or I kill one hostage every 60 seconds."

"Oh my God, oh my God" were the only words running through Supervisory Special Agent Jennifer Jareau's mind as she saw her lover, partner, and father of her child walking towards the hostage held Federal Bank building. What is he doing? What about me? What about Henry? With all of the adrenaline in the world she started to run towards the building, when she felt strong arms restraining her "Morgan! Let me go!" she screamed.
*************************************************************************************
As Detective William Lamontagne Jr. entered the building, all he could think about was Sean Harper. He was responsible for the murder of Sean Harper. Somewhere out there was a family who was about to mourn the loss of a child—a son. Was he married? Was he someone's husband? Someone's father? He forced himself to push these thoughts in the back of his mind. He could do this. Unarmed and with hands raised he asked the unsubs to let the women and children go. As the young mother with her child and now fatherless little girl left the building, he breathed a sigh of relief, when he heard the shots.
I'm sorry JJ.
*************************************************************************************
As Dr. Spencer Reid was watching the events unfold, he felt helpless. His friend and father of his godson lay on the ground with two bullet holes in his body. Please let Will have a vest on, he thought. JJ, I have to get to JJ she needs me. She's my best friend—she's always been there for me, now it's my turn.
"How's JJ" he asked Garcia.
"It's bad Reid" Penelope said while furiously typing into her keyboard.
"I should be there; we've learned everything we can from here."
"No, you can help more by helping me. Besides your brain works faster than mine" the tech analyst reminded the team genius.
Please keep them safe. Please keep her safe.
*************************************************************************************
After the explosion Morgan and JJ search the perimeter of the building, looking for Will and the unsubs. Please be alive. Please be alive. JJ pleads with God.
"This one's parallel to the other tunnel, there's a good chance it branches off" JJ tells her partner.
"Then let's split up"
"Unless it's a trick."
"Well then we're screwed." Derek states.
Please don't let it be a trick.
They find the exit and no Will. No unsubs. She feels the tears start to well up when she looks down and notices a clue.
"Whatya got?" Morgan asks.
"Will always says if you can leave a breadcrumb" as she holds her partners wallet in her hands. Looking at family pictures, she lets a tear roll down her face.
"Okay so he was here. He was healthy enough to leave us a clue."
"They shot him Morgan, why would they take him?"
"JJ, I don't know but we didn't see any blood down here and both are good signs."
"Yeah but they have him. God only knows where or why. How is that good?" JJ says as she runs back to her team.
*************************************************************************************
As he opens the car door and Chris rolls out, Will is completely stunned. Why is he still alive? This crazy chick should just shoot him in the head and escape. Just then one of the hostages gets in the back seat.
"Wh-What?"
"Hi Will, you see that?" Matthew smirks.
"I want to do it again." Izzy tells her lover.
"Drive" they command.
He keeps looking at the rearview mirror. What the hell is going on?
"Do you love your family, Detective?" Izzy asks.
Matthew smiles. "Oh you bet he does, and did you know that Detective Will here is dating a Federal Agent?"
"Do everything we say or your boy dies. Try to be a hero and sweet, blonde Agent JJ dies. Try to call for help and we kill you. And that boy of yours? Grows up an orphan. Oh and we know where you live, see this?" Izzy states while dangling his license in front of his face.
"So take us to that sweet boy of yours. What was his name? Oh right, Henry." Matthew says, as he leans up towards the passenger seat and kisses Izzy's neck.
"Yes take us to Henry, or you die and Matthew here kills Henry's mama."
Will feels sick.
Over my dead body. Like hell they will.
Sitting at a traffic light on North Lynn Street, he realizes this is his chance. He presses his foot down on the gas, going from 0 to 50 miles an hour in a matter of seconds, leaving nothing but screeches and smoke in its wake.
Izzy screams and shoots Will directly in the neck. Holding the bullet wound and surviving on pure adrenaline, he doesn't even flinch. As he jerks the steering wheel and drives the black SUV off of the Key Bridge.
I love you JJ. Henry be a good boy, Daddy loves you. Spencer, take care of them for me.
As he closes his eyes and darkness takes over.
