I'm falling.
The sensation of nothing holding me down is terrifying.
At first it was like I was flying, for just a moment I was suspended in mid-air.
Hanging off nothing.
Then gravity began to betray me, and in slow motion, my weight pulled me down.
Then I was dropping, not flying.
Everything was going downhill, literally.
My team and I had gone to apprehend the unsub, the bad guy.
He had a hostage.
A member of my team, JJ.
All I could think was save her! Save her!
But nobody could get a clear shot.
So, I pushed her out of the way, and took him down with me.
I heard the other members of my team calling my name.
"Reid!"
It seems to take hours before I'm almost there.
About to hit the ground.
Then suddenly, the pavement below me is traveling towards me at hundreds of miles per hour.
I'm not ready for this.
That's all I have time to think before I hit.
I feel a strange sharp pain jolt throughout my entire body, the impact jarring.
Then my head slams against the ground with impossible force.
Suddenly, everything is black.
Pain free.
Bliss.
