Run
By: AndiKaneUnderwood
There was a very good reason.
An exellent reason why when someone yelled "run" the BAU profilers ran.
An excellent reason why.

The poor man's hands where literally burning and Reid was right, the smell was awful, but like she said, the man would survive.
"This is going to hurt," and Morgan almost snorted because that was his girl, no sugarcoating, "but you will survive."
The man, they still didn't know his name, nodded.
The black protective gloves they wore did their jobs as they began the procedure.
Reid poured the solution as gently as she good, but there was no way to dilute the pain this man was feeling.
He screamed and the smell wafting up went completely ignored by Reid and Rossi, but Morgan wrinkled his nose up in disgust at the smell of burning flesh.
The grenade slid right through his fingers just like Reid predicted and Rossi caught it with a triumphant call of, "I've got it!"
"Here!" Morgan passed over a mostly clean rag and turned to the older profile as Reid checked over the man's hands briefly. "We safe, Rossi?" Morgan asked.
Rossi nodded. "Yeah, we're good." He replied, "The lever's still-" He cut off and Reid looked at him curiously as she brushed her bangs from her eyes.
Unfortunately in their attempt to safe the man, they'd done more harm. The solution had burned away the lever.
Rossi's eyes widened as he realized lightning quick what that meant.
"Run!" He yelled.

No one hesitated. The second the word flew from his lips Reid was out the door followed by Morgan, who was closer to and grabbed the man (who's name the still didn't know) as they fled.
Rossi made sure they where mostly to the door before he threw the grenade and was hot on their heels.
Morgan flung himself behind a police car and Reid scrambled to follow. Rossi pushed the nameless man down behind her and then ducked down himself just as the mechanic's shop blew.
"You guys okay? Anyone hurt?" Reid asked as gasps passed through her lips.
They stood, affirmatives coming from their mouths, and the mechanic man coughed harshly.
"You okay?" Reid asked him, then was pushed to the side as the man raced around Morgan to the front of the car and began emptying the contents of his stomach onto the street. Reid's nose scrunched up as the smell of vomit hit her and Morgan fought back a smile.
"Yeah, he's fine." Rossi replied to Reid.
"Rossi?" Morgan asked.
"Yeah?" Rossi looked down at his vest, brushing ashes off of it.
"Remind me to just run next time."
Reid laughed softly as she surveyed the damage.
Rossi chuckled as he stood. "Sure, kid."

The next time someone was told to run, it was Tara Lewis, their new FBI profile. She screamed it as the bomb was uncovered with a minute, forty-three seconds to spare.
JJ, who was closer to the door, snatched up the child hostage and bolted with Tara on her tail. It was times like this, JJ really missed her former job at the Pentagon.
"Go, go, go!" JJ shouted to Hotch and the small team of police officers, who immediately started running as the building blew up.
One man got caught in the wreckage and two police men stopped to help him, pulling him away with shouts of, "We've got you, Jones!"
JJ sighed from her position behind a car and looked a Tara. "Remind me never to go into a creepy abandoned building again."
Tara smiled and laughed, holding out her hand. "I'll remind you if you remind me."
JJ smiled and shook her hand. "Deal."
Both Reid and Prentiss are genderbent.
Emily is Emilio.
Spencer is Sabrina.
