Hello everyone on FanFiction =) This is my very first story I'm posting so please leave me some feed back...

This is basicly an alternate ending to the Criminal Minds episode L.D.S.K.

Enjoy...


Click, click. Aim, aim. Bang bang. Two clicks, two aims, two bangs. One shot fatal, one almost.

Hotchheard both fires and looked down to his faithful Reid. Reid looked up at him, tears rolling down his face, his hand pressed tightly to his now bleeding stomach.

"R-Reid, you're going to be O.K...Do you hear me?" Hotch asked in an unusually un-forceful and un-demanding tone. This voice was different. This was his home voice. When he talks to his son or wife, with a more calming voice.

"H-H-H," Reid couldn't speak, all that came out was the studder, OH the horrible studder that frustrated and flustered him ever since he was a child.

"Reid, stay with me O.K.. They have to clear the area and give the word before we can get you and the hostages out, that should only take about," Hotch paused and looked at Reid's tortured face,

"10-15 minutes," Hotch finished a little quieter. Sometimes Hotch wished Reid wouldn't have stopped doing drugs, just so he could give Reid something to help calm him down or numb the pain. The young doctor started to panic, flail around, scream and cry, breathe in erratic bursts of pain and frustration. All Hotch could do was wait and try to pin Reid down the the floor.

"R-R-Ried, Y-Y," Hotch could barely talk, Reids blood covered his arms and hands as he tried to hold him down and stop the bleeding. Reid wasn't very strong, and Hotch could feel him getting weaker, his breathing become labored, his chest sinking and rising harder and slower every second they sat there.

"Reid, you have to stay with me O.K.. The team needs you, you just have to hold on O.K.," It was hard for Hotch to speak to his small, broken friend. He knew what had to be done, but he wasn't sure if he had the heart to. That bullet needed to come out and it needed to come out right now. That would pull it out of his lung to ease his breathing and the pain would probably shock him into a panic, which was better than his drowsy state now.

"R-Reid? I need you to hold nice and still alright? This might sting a little bit but it will help you breathe," Hotch said quietly as if he were talking to a wounded puppy. Reid looked up at Hotch, he could barely breathe let alone talk. Suddenly, he felt a ton of pressure on his torso and an extremely sharp pain that caused him to scream long and loud. Moving peoples' shattered ribs around so they could breathe was not for the faint of heart...

Morgan, Elle, Giddion and JJwaited silently outside of the locked down hospital wing. Then they heard it, no, not it, he. Reid. Screaming and crying, and, of all things cussing at Hotch, Yelling "G-G-Get o-off" and "What-t-t d-di-d you d-do th-a-at for?" and "I-I-I-I H-HATE Y-Y-YO-U" Theydecided it was time to forget protocal and go get their little know-it-all.

They stormed through the doors to find Reid, crying on the ground, and Hotch sitting on his legs pressing down forcefully on his abdomen.

"Reid! You alright kid?" Morgan asked running over, but Hotch didn't have to answer. As he got closer he cloud see blood covering Reid, Hotch, and the floor.

"MEDIC! We need a medic over here please!" Morgan shouted.

"H-H-H-ot-t-tch, y-you l-l-loo-k h-ha-z-z-ey..." Reid forced out quietly.

"Just hold on Reid, they're going to take care of you," Hotch replied as the medics hauled him away.

AUG. 12: Waking up...

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU COULD LET SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN TO MY SWEET BABY BOY!!!!" A woman's voice echoed down the quiet ICU hallways.

"Mrs. Reid I assure you it was a complete accident," Hotch said in a frustrated voice.

"I knew he should have never been and iron worker!" She shouted.

"Mrs. Reid? He was shot by a serial killer..."Hotch sighed.

"M-m-m-mo-momm-y-y?"

"SPENCER!!!" There she was, his mom, waiting to great him by his bedside. She kissed his head and stroked his wild hair.

"OH Spencer please don't tell me that studder has come back again?" She wailed kissing him more.

"Again?" Hotch laughed quietly as he stepped into the room. Reid looked bad, no, worse than bad. Outright horrid.

"Mrs.? Why don't you let him rest a while, we have to re-bandage him anyway," A female nurse said sweetly.

"I'll be back tomorrow sweet pea I sware!" She said kissing his forehead yet again.

AUG. 18: Home Sweet Home?

Reid was wheeled out to the oh so familiar BAU black car and loaded into the backseat. Hotchwas driving, Garcia was shotgun, and Morgan and Giddion sat on either side of Reid who was safely snuggled in the middle. After Hotch dropped everyone but Reid at the office, he wasgoing to drive Reid home. He fell asleep in the backseat only to awake in a house that was not his. He was on a bed and Hotch was reading a book at his feet.

"H-H-Hotch, where am I-I-I?" He asked dazed and confused.

"Actually, your in my spare bedroom," Hotch replied without looking up from his book.

"And before you ask why, Its because the doctor said you shouldn't stay alone while you're healing, and you live alone and have no one to stay with, while here my wife will be home withthe baby while I'm at work so you'll be with someone 24-7,"Hotch said looking at Reid's tired eyes. He could tell Reid was in no condition to argue, so he just nodded his head and nodded off.
