Chapter 2-Feels Like Forever, (Three days later)
(A\N- As Always, Let me know if I've made spelling mistakes or location name mistakes and I only own my OCs and plot. Everything else is owned by CBS. Music is owned by the respective artists and publishing companies-Music just feeds the muse. I also want to thank both guests who took the time to review and give me such postitive feedback on this story. See if you can spot the Dr. Who reference hidden somewhere in this chapter. I'm posting this early because their has been a forecast for flooding in my area and I doubt I'll have internet in that time frame.)
(Reid's point of view)-I tried calling her cell phone for the past four hours and still haven't gotten a response from Dixie's cell phone. I knew then that something was very wrong. As soon as I got the go ahead from Hotch, I quickly double check the paper document file that was first started during the case and then after I've memorized the address carefully, Hotch and I take separate cars and head to her address. We then inform Garcia to double check anything that may lead us to the unsub. At this point, when I am on the interstate-I am white knuckled the entire time before I reach the apartment complex. I then again circled the block when I see yet another black cloaked figure, only this time it wasn't the UNSUB-It was a shorter figure. It was then I realized their were more than one person targeting Dixie. I then memorize the direction in which the person was going.
(Dixie's point of view)-I knew that Owen had a lot of friends, but I never knew that they would actually target me. I swung the bat a few times to practice just in caase to prepare in case something were to happen. I then heard a knock at the door and my instinct is to check the peephole. As I am getting on my toes to see who it is, I feel my phone vibrate in my back pocket of my dark washed jeans. I then feel like if everything's in slow motion, the last thing I see is Spencer breaking down the door and I hear a bunch of men screaming, some voices were foreign to me, but others I knew well. But in the back of my mind, I knew that Owen and his cronies aren't finished tormenting me at any costs. Then, my whole world darkens and I collapsed.
(Spencer's point of view)-I wasn't aware that Dixie collapsed until J.J had told me while we were arresting the accomplice. I was really worried about her and I knew that the team knew that I was worried as well-I often think I should be better at hiding my emotions. I heard humming when I got back to BAU, even though both Rossi and Hotch told me that I should visit Dixie because she might be scared since this is her first time in a Virginia hospital. After I confirm the location of which hospital she's been admitted to, I decided to get in my personal car and head to the specific hospital. As soon as I get a confirmed room number I headed to the elevators and waited for the elevator door to open so that I could get to the second floor. Once I get to the room, I breathe a sigh of relief. I then see nurses taking her vitals through an open window. Once she realized I was there, she smiled.
(Dixie's point of view, a day later)-I heard a knock at my door and I let Reid in. I was still bandaged up, but the IV had been removed yesterday due to the doctor's instructions and the fact that I was actually conscience and lucid so that I could say when I was in pain. I smiled when Reid comes in and gives me a peck on the cheek. I swear my heart skipped a beat. After some causal conversation, he asks me to close my eyes. I was puzzled, but complied anyway, then he asked me to close my eyes and describe what's going on around me. I let out a small gasp and then I feel a softer grip on my hands. "Owen's here, he's wearing a ski mask, I have the bat in my hands-but he overpowered me." Then, he's picking me up and-Reid-help me"! I screamed harder than I ever expected to. I then open my eyes again and am comforted by Spencer's embrace. He holds me tightly and assures me that Owen's not here and he can't hurt me now. He then hands me a tissue from the tissue box behind his reach and holds me until I stopped crying, remembering what happened between Owen and I. Then, I heard a nurse come in, he was questioned Spencer about my condition because I fell asleep. I then get up again and get my purse and get my bag of spare body jewelry and find a mirror to reinsert my jewelry that I kept extra spares of. The bright side of it was the holes were still opened despite the fact that they were out for two days. I then apply lipstick since that was the only beauty product that was kept in my purse for daily wear. Then a nurse comes in and hands me discharge papers to sign. She then said, "Your boyfriend is getting the car ready so that he can pick you up" I blushed slightly and waited for him. But then I remembered I was still waiting on a call from that paralegal office that I had interviewed with a few weeks ago. As if on cue, my phone rings. I'm nudged by Spencer to answer it, so I do. "Hi! this is Erin from the Smith Law Firm, I'm calling in regards to your interview and I'm pleased to inform you that you've been selected." I bit my lip in order to quiet the squeak from escaping my lips. She then finished her sentence by saying, "To know that you're serious about it, we need you to relocate to the coast.,however you have a week to decide and let us know what you decide" That's when my heart dropped to my throat. My mind started spinning at a mile a minute, worrying about my newfound relationship and what the distance would do to it. I bit my lip as I'm lead to Spencer's car-he said he'd let me visit the team again, since I hadn't met Rossi, Hotch or JJ. On the way to the headquarters, my mind decided to mull over what my decision should be regarding the job offer. I knew that I couldn't exactly keep this job offer secret, no matter my decision. I somehow dozed off and was shook awake when we approached the office-the office was bigger on the inside than I had previously thought. However, we got to the main meeting room with no problems.
