A Short little story, that if you want I will continue…
It had been a long week for the BAU team. They were chasing an UNSUB in their own city, Washington D.C. The case hit pretty close to home for many of them, but everyone seemed to be fine since the case was over. Except Emily, who still didn't seem to be back to normal yet.
"Hey Em, you okay?" JJ asked while looking at the very pale brunette agent packing up files in the round table room.
"Yeah JJ, I'm fine" Emily responded as convincing as she could possibly be.
"You sure? You don't look too good, maybe you should sit down" JJ continued with care.
"Really, I'm fine" Emily said while leaning against the table to stop herself from falling over. JJ quickly noticed and didn't accept that Emily was fine.
"Hotch!" JJ shouted to get the attention of the team's unit chief, who was in the hallway waiting with the rest of the agents. When Hotch heard JJ, he swiftly walking into the room, followed by the rest of the team.
"What's wrong?" Hotch asked JJ curiously. The rest of the team came into the room and was standing about five feet behind Emily near the door way.
"It's Emily, she is insisting that she's fine, but she doesn't look fine to me." JJ told Hotch while pointing to Emily.
Emily stood up and took a step back from the table before saying "Hotch, I'm fine, real-"Emily couldn't finish her sentence, she found herself wobbling and unable to keep her balance. Morgan reached out to help steady her, but it was too late. She was already falling. Hotch moved quickly and caught Emily before she hit the ground. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her into the hallway and down the steps quickly. While they were going down the steps Hotch told JJ to call an ambulance. Still carrying Emily, and being followed by the rest of the team, Hotch went straight towards the elevator to meet the ambulance down stairs. The entire team packed into the elevator.
None of them could speak, they were all in shock, and scared for their friend. Hotch couldn't focus on anything except for getting Emily to the hospital. So as soon as they walked outside they were greeted with relief at the sight of the paramedics. The paramedics had the stretcher out and ready, and Hotch placed Emily down delicately on the stretcher. Hotch just watched as the paramedics strapped the still unconscious Emily to the stretcher and load her into the ambulance. The rest of the team was huddled behind watching everything.
"One person can ride with us, that's it" They all heard one of the paramedics say.
Before anyone else on the team could say anything, Hotch blurted out "I'll go!"
"We'll meet you there" JJ said before waving the other members of the team to follower her to the SUV's.
Hotch stepped into the back of the ambulance, hoping that he wouldn't lose her again.
