*Blows off dust* Wow...how long has it been...Well, this is my first attempt at a Criminal Minds fic. Yes, it's super short...for now lol. Seeing as I'm not really sure about this, please feel free to leave tips. Oh, there is no particular time period, but I'm picturing season 6 Reid and Emily.
Prologue
"REID!" Emily screamed as Morgan held her while the rest of the team barricaded the door. "STOP! We can't just leave him-Morgan LET ME GO!" She fought against the large man's form; pushing, scratching, hitting.
"Prentiss, Prentiss stop. Do you think I want to do this? Do you think any of us want to leave him out there? This is about survival now Em. None of us want to lose him, but we can't risk it." A moment or two after the words left Derek's mouth, he felt Emily Prentiss sag defeated in his arms.
The team and a few others were currently occupying a small convenience store, which was located right in the middle of downtown and considering their present situation, downtown was not a good place to be.
Derek, now satisfied that Emily wasn't going to do anything…drastic, went to help the others as they began covering the windows.
Risk, the small word echoed in her head, growing louder with each passing second as memories of Spencer Reid rolled through her mind; Reid handing her his gun as he walked toward Owen Savage, the sound of a gunshot reverberating through the speakers of her cell, Reid's voice saying "Kill Me" as Tobias Hankel held a revolver to his head.
"He'd risk it." she mumbled to nobody in particular. She knew it was probably pointless and more than a little stupid. They could literally be the last humans on Earth in a few short hours, but for some reason she had to try. This wouldn't be the first time she given up her life in the hope of protecting Reid…though, admittedly, this time it had a much higher chance of sticking.
