It Takes a Lover - Part One.
Recently I got a request to do a Mae + Ryan story, so here it is. This is my first Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders multi-chapter, so any feedback would be much appreciated and loved!
-Mae is shot on the job Ryan and the team are there to help her through her recovery.
'We don't heal in isolation, but in community.'
Reviews are loved and appreciated, enjoy!

Gunshots. The sound of gunshots filled the air, and all that could be seen was many people ducking for cover, few of them running, most of them dropping to the floor. The sound of screams, cries and sirens soon followed. Heartbeats could be heard in the ears of the agents as they all shared the same fear. Someone had been shot. Someone could be dead, or nearly dead, and currently the agents were running blind.
Footsteps hit the ground in quick succession as the slow motion from before had cleared, and now everything was speeding up. Voices could be heard in earpieces, still, the screaming of civilians could be heard and bodies, people, children ducking for cover could still be seen. The building was in sight, no one stopped to check surrounding areas, they ran in blind. Rule number one was to never do it, to always gain as much intel, but in a real-life situation, you didn't have time to check the rule book or read up on procedure, you did what you thought was right, you did what you had to, to save lives.
Ryan's heart was pounding as he felt a lump rise in his throat, he along with Jack, Clara and Matt ran towards the building, running towards the gunshots, running towards her.
That was Ryan's only thought. He didn't care about the civilians, he didn't care about the local police, he ignored his father's orders, he just had one thought as he approached the building.
Mae.
She'd been in there, she'd been in that room, the one where to shots had originated, she was in the building, without backup and without anyone there to protect her. He was supposed to protect her.
Everything slowed down again as a third gunshot rang out across, what felt like the entire city. Ryan let out a breath, looking up at the building, not being able to contain his fear.
"Mae…"
I hope part one is okay, let me know if it was an enjoyable read! Do you want more? Bethany.
