Reid couldn't sleep. He hated places like these taverns. He felt trapped. He had to get a breath of fresh air. He stepped outside and breathed in the cripsness of nighttime but froze when he heard footsteps. Suddenly, unable to stop it, he felt a sharp knife go into his chest. As pain consumed him before the shock he collapsed, wide eyed.
Garcia, to her horror, saw the body crumple to the ground.
"No!" She cried out. The attacker had looked up and raced away. She ran towards the body and her eyes widened when she saw who it was. Reid.
"Reid!" She cradled her head in his arms. "Reid, no!" Tears spilled in her eyes. Oh God, this was NOT happening!
Reid shuddered.
"G...Garcia..."
"It's okay, Reid, it's going to be okay," she whispered as she held him. "HELP! I need HELP out here! AGENT DOWN! Help!"
Morgan heard Garcia screaming outside for help. He jolted awaake and flred out of his room. Rossi, Hotch,Emily, and JJ was also coming into the hallway and going down the stiars.
"what's going on?" He asked breathlessly.
"I don't know," JJ said. "But Reid's not in our room." Worry was in her voice when she spoke. They lookd at each other as they rushed otuside. A group of people was already surroundnig Garcia. They froze momentarily when they saw Garcia was holding Reid. The town's doctor was there and keeping pressure on the chest wound.
"Oh my God," whispered JJ. Emily stood there, staring at Reid's face.
"NO!" Morgan shouted fiercly. The doctor looked up.
"He's alive, but he needs to get to the hospital instantly."
Morgan had already rushed towards the kid's body. Damn it the skin felt so cold. Garcia was holding him tightly, while shaking.
"I've got him now, baby girl," Morgan whispered to her. She nodded as she bit her lip and passed Reid over to Morgan. She stood, shaking.
"I saw...a figure...st...stab Reid," she sobbed.
"It's okay, Penelope." He kept his voice soft. Holding Reid like this felt so wrong, feeling the kid's blood on his hands...He felt sick as he rushed Reid to the nearest van.
"I'll drive," Hotch said quickly as JJ held Garcia for comfort. Morgan was seething with silent fury as the doctor slid in next to him, laying Reid's legs on the doctor's lap as Emily climbed in the passengers seat.
"Have to keep pressure on the wound," the doctor muttered to Morgan who nodded.
"How is he?" Emily asked, turning her head.
"He needs medical attention now," Morgan said grimly. he saw Hotch's knuckles tighten against the wheel.
Reid moaned as he came to. He found himself in Morgan's arms.
"M...Morgan?"
Morgan looked down, worry and fear in his eyes.
"Hey kid, you shouldn't talk right now, save your stregnth."
Reid nodded.
"J...Just wanted...to...to go for a walk," he whispered.
"It's okay Reid," Morgan said quietly. "But really you need to save your strength." Reid nodded weakly.
They finally pulled up to the hospital along with JJ, Rossi, and Garcia who had taken a seperate van.
Garcia was staring at Reid was he rushed away.
"When I saw him there," she whispered to Morgan, her voice shaking. "I couldn't breathe at first." Emily grasped her hand.
"He's getting bolder," Hotch said softly and Rossi nodded.
"Letting us know he's not afraid of us."
"Good," growled Morgan softly. "Cuase I'm sure as hell not afraid of him. or going after him."
They stood there in the waiting room, all waiting and all thinking the same thing.
Tis unsub just made the biggest mistake of his life.
They had just made it too personal and now someone was going to pay.
