"JJ, where are you?" Emily asked panicked. All she could see was the dust settling. JJ was nowhere in sight. She was able to pull herself in an upright position. After assessing her injuries, she stood up and waded into the rubble.
"JJ?" She screamed, "JJ!" she continued to yell her name. JJ had been right in front of her when the bomb went off. Emily checked her side for her gun. Once she realized that it was there along with her phone and badge she was relieved. A moan was heard a few feet away from her.
"Jennifer? Is that you? Are you hurt?" She asked in a hurry.
"Emily? Is that you? Help, I'm stuck. My ribs are most likely broken. My arm is numb, so that cant be good." JJ replied in a pained voice.
"Here, Take my hand if you can, otherwise we are gonna have to dig you out." Emily reached out with her hand. JJ was able to grab hold of it and pull her self out of the rocks. Once standing she was able to see how bad Emily looked.
"EM! You're bleeding; we gotta get out of here. Where is everyone else? Did they get out?" JJ asked panicking.
"JJ, you need to calm down. Everyone got out before the explosion. I saw you trip so I stopped to get you. When I turned around I was about 8 feet away from the door. We're close to it now. If we don't come out, they will come in and get us. They just have to clear the building first." Emily responded. She was starting to feel lightheaded and a headache was forming, but she wanted to make sure that JJ was safe above all else, including herself.
"JJ? Prentiss? Can you hear me? Stay where you are, we are gonna come for you as soon as the building is cleared!" Morgan screamed. He was scared to death. Two of his best friends were trapped in the building that had just exploded.
"Morgan! We're okay!" Emily yelled back. She was slowly making her way towards the exit. She held JJ's hand as tight as she could and climbed over the rubble. The pair slowly made their way to the door. Using teamwork the pried it open. Prentiss fell out of the door, and JJ fell out right on top of her.
Morgan and Hotch ran to the door and lifted the two women up and with the help of the EMT, placed them on stretchers. It was a close call, and they all knew it. As soon as the ambulances were on their way to the hospital Morgan called Garcia and told her all was well and where they were taking her friends. She was crying, but happy.
After the doctors took care of the two agents, they were placed in the same room. Prentiss was sleeping when they brought JJ in, but woke up soon after.
"JJ, is that you?" She questioned still heavily sedated.
"Em? Yeah it's me. How are you?" She asked. Her voice was a little groggy.
"I'm okay. I have a zygomatic fracture to my right eye, my left wrist is broken, and a pretty bad bruise on my back. Other than that I am okay. How are you?" She responded.
"2 broken ribs, and a broken arm. My rib punctured my lung when they carried me to the stretcher. That's what took so long to fix up. I'm okay though. Today was too close Em, way to close." JJ said. She looked broken, like she was finally realizing the dangers of her job.
"It was close, but it could have been worse. You did good in there, Agent Jareau." Emily said
"As did you Agent Prentiss. How about we never do that again?" JJ asked.
"Agreed."
