AN: Thanks for your reviews everyone! Honestly, I'm scared to death about what you might think of this, because I have absolutely no idea where I'm going with this story yet. Well.. I do a little of course, but still :) Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy this chapter and please let me know what you think!
Disclaimer: Again.. they're not mine, never will be. I'm just using them for fun.
The plane had gotten quiet as everyone was minding their own. Emily let her eyes wander around the plane. Glancing sideward she saw Reid asleep on the couch. Laying in fetal position and clutching his pillow tightly. She smiled to herself, he could look like such a small child sometimes. Looking so innocent laying like that.
In seats on the end of the couch sat Morgan with his eyes shut, just drifting in and out of sleep, his headphones covering his ears. Probably listening to some hip-hop song on his Ipod.
JJ sat in the seat across Morgan's oblivious to everything around her. She was sound asleep, curled up in her seat and resting her head against the window. Not the most comfortable position to sleep in, but it would do for the moment.
Seated in the single seat near the plane entrance was Rossi. His mind keeping itself occupied with the book he was reading, leaving no room for any other thoughts.
The only sounds in the plane came from Dave turning the pages of his book and the occasional rustle of someone getting more comfortable in his or her seat. She could hear Hotch's even breathing as well. She turned her head to look at him. He was asleep in the seat next to her, sitting with his arms crossed in front of his chest. His head leaning back against the headboard.
Emily's face softened before closing her eyes and trying to get some sleep herself.

It wasn´t long until she woke again. Feeling pressure on her ears. That was odd? She slowly sat up a little, stretching her neck to look out the window. She could clearly see trees. The plane was losing altitude fast. Emily noticed Hotch starting to wake as well.
"Hotch, look outside something's wrong".
He straightened himself and looked outside. "This can't be good". Moving to stand he saw Rossi doing the same thing, walking to get to the cockpit.
"Aaron we're descending fast and we're not even halfway through the flight. I'm going to see what the pilot can tell me about this". Dave walked to the door separating the tip of the plane with the passenger's side. Hotch started walking towards him, only to stop again when suddenly a loud noise was heard. Making Reid jump from his place on the couch.
"Everyone stay in your seats and make sure you're secure!" Hotch had raised his voice. They might be in a very serious situation, he had to find out what was going on. He continued his way to the front of the plane.
The pilot second in command was talking to Rossi in a panicky voice. His forehead moist with sweat. Small drops of condense forming on the sides. "All we know is that we are experiencing some engine trouble. The how and what…"
He'd stopped talking. They could all hear the rumbling sound of the engines slowing down. They'd stopped turning. "Oh.. oh Lord".

Everyone being on high alert, looking at Hotch, waiting for him to start talking. Emily knew immediately things were bad. "We have to prepare ourselves for an emergency landing", he went to take his seat again. "The engines aren't working anymore", he grabbed his seatbelt, "the pilot said we have enough speed to keep us in the air long enough to land. Unless they find an open area, we won't go down pretty with all the forest."
"Do they know what caused the engine failure?" Morgan wanted to know the better of it. Subconsciously trying to find a way to control the situation.
"They don't".
The plane tipped slightly to the front and started to descend rapidly. "Hold on!"
Everyone sat tight in their seats. Grabbing firm hold of her armrests, Emily closed her eyes, mentally preparing for what was coming. She felt Hotch's hand next to hers. His moving to cover hers, keeping a firm hold. Offering both support and comfort to her, but also for himself. She was scared.
Hotch had thought they would at least have ten minutes before they would be going down. Sooner than he expected to, but who would ever expect something like this would happen. All he could do was sit tight and wait for what they all knew was coming.
When the blackness came, he just let it take him away.
AN2: For you who haven't noticed yet, Garcia isn't on the plane. Just sayin' ;)
Also, I can't seem to get the chapters as long as I want them to.
