Hey everyone, here is the next chapter for you all. I will say that I managed to watch last night's episode and the buzz from watching it is what helped me finish my updates a day early. What a brilliant episode, I'm not going to say much as I don't want to spoil it for others. I will say it's now my second fave episode after Revelations, which is my favorite as it got me addicted to Criminal Minds. Again, thank you so much for the great reaction to this story and I hope you all enjoy this chapter as I loved writing it. I will say that things are far from other in this story and things will get interesting. Enjoy and I look forward to hearing from you all.

Thank you so much for the wonderful and amazing reviews, you're all so perfect and kind. Thank you!

Enjoy and please review

All mistakes are my own

Garcia cried into Hotch's chest as the doctor shocked Reid with the paddles, his body jumped up and hit back down into the bed, it was the third time they had used the paddles on him. Hotch closed his eyes as they performed CPR on Reid for the fourth time, he knew the look in Dr Kendra's eyes and he knew she was thinking it was too late. Dr Kendra picked up the paddles and shocked Reid's chest again. Hotch opened his eyes when he heard a beeping noise fill the air, he looked to the heart monitor and realized that Reid's heart had started beating again. He let out a huge sigh of relief and smiled when he saw that Reid was still alive.

"He's a fighter," Garcia said before wiping her eyes. "Thank God."

They waited as Dr Kendra finished checking Reid's vitals, they placed him back on the ventilator and left the room. The doctor came over with a relieved but worried look in her eyes. "He's stable and I'm hoping he will stay that way. I need to talk to you about what you want to do if he goes into cardiac arrest again."

"I want you to keep on trying no matter what," Hotch answered immediately. "He's a fighter, he just proved that."

"I know he's a fighter," Dr Kendra nodded. "I had to ask. Some people don't want to put their loved ones through that over and over. I have to say that I have worries about his mental state when he wakes up. He arrested once in the ambulance, we almost lost him during the surgery and it took us a few minutes to bring him back just now. I'm worried about the amount of oxygen reaching his brain. If and when he does wake up, I want to check his mental status."

"He's going to wake up," Garcia said adamantly. "He's gone through too much in his life to give up now."

"This is Penelope Garcia, she'll be looking after Reid while we investigate the reason behind his attack."

"I'm comfortable for someone to still stay with him," Dr Kendra smiled gently. Garcia picked up her bags and walked in.

She walked over to the bed and kissed Reid on the forehead. "Hey, baby boy."

She reached into one of the bags she had brought to the hospital and took out a large knitted blanket, she opened it up and covered Reid with it to make sure he stayed warm.

"I brought you the blanket we knitted together, we argued about what colours should go into it so we ended up putting every colour of wool we could think off into the blanket," Garcia said before biting her lip to try keep herself from getting upset again. She couldn't stop looking at the tube in Reid's mouth or all the IV's. Gently, she stroked her hand through his hair, the only part of him that had any colour. "Please don't scare us like that again. You just rest and wake up when you're ready. I don't know why Morgan hurt you, baby boy, I just don't."

Hotch watched from outside the room. "I think Reid is in good hands."

"So do I," Rossi smiled sadly before turning to JJ. "You need to make sure that Morgan is kept either restrained or sedated, he cannot leave that bed. We have no idea what he's capable of at the moment. We're going to check out Morgan's apartment."

"Why do you think Morgan did this?" she asked.

"I don't know but something is bothering me about his behavior back in the room and how he was on the camera footage from the BAU."

"What do you mean?"

"He thought he was saying one thing back in the hospital room but he said he was following orders and it was only after I told him that Reid was still alive did he start laughing and saying his orders were to kill Spencer Reid. On the footage from the BAU, his movements were almost robotic. He looked at his watch, dropped the file in his hand and shot Reid. I think someone has tampered with his mental state. We all know that Morgan would never hurt Reid like this, even if he was being forced at gun point, he would never do this willingly. It's the only possible answer for his actions."

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth," Rossi recited.

JJ and Hotch looked at him.

"It's Sherlock Holmes, it's the kind of thing that Reid would say if he was awake."

A few hours later

JJ smiled as she looked at the picture of Henry and Reid on her phone, the doctors were busy with two patients who had severe injuries from a car collision, she loved the picture on her phone because it reminded her that choosing Reid as Henry's godfather was the best decision she ever made. She didn't want to lose Reid. JJ rubbed her tired eyes as she thought about how Reid was when he first joined the BAU and how much he had grown since then, both physically and mentally. Her mind went on full alert when she heard a loud bang from inside Morgan's room, she immediately got up, putting her hand on her gun and walked in. As she opened the door, she saw that Morgan was no longer in the bed.

Before she could react a strong hand grabbed her arm and threw her against the wall, she grunted as her head collided with it. She tried to kick out at Morgan but failed when he deflected her kick. Pain filled her head as Morgan punched her, she closed her eyes and couldn't stop the darkness from taking her.

Carefully, Garcia put a mismatched pair of socks on Reid's feet, she knew he hated wearing ones that matched. Just another quirk she loved about him. She was very relieved that he had stayed stable since her arrival. She looked up as the door opened, panic filling her as Morgan walked into the room with a gun.

"Hotch, there are no signs of any forced entry or struggles as far as I can see," Rossi mused as he went over Morgan's apartment for the second time. Blake joined him in the living room.

"Something feels amiss here," Blake said as she furrowed her brow. "Things are too clean."

Hotch came into the room and noticed it too. Everything was too clean and too well placed. "This isn't Morgan's typical behavior. Reid is the one who likes everything in order. Morgan is known to be messy," Hotch said. "From experience, I've had to tell him to clean up his desk on a few occasions."

"Guys," Blake called as she knelt and reached under the small gap at the bottom of a bookshelf, she used a glove to pull out a large shard of glass with a pattern on it. "What is that doing there?"

"Maybe it's been there for a while," Rossi suggested.

"No dust on it," Blake pointed out before walking over to Morgan's glass living room table, she lined it up and then looked back at them. "This matches this table but this is completely intact. In fact, I'd say brand new, there are no water rings, stains, scratches or anything like that."

"This is bigger than we think," Hotch said.

Morgan brought up the gun and pointed it at Reid's body, Garcia stepped in front of Reid and in the way of the gun. "I won't let you do it."

"Get out of the way," Morgan growled. "He has to die."

"Why does he have to die?" Garcia argued back. "He's Reid, he's your pretty boy and my baby boy, I know this isn't you and I know you would never do this unless someone made you. Derek, please put the gun down."

She watched as Morgan shook his head and the gun shook in his hand slightly.

"I have to follow orders, she told me to not stop until he had no pulse," Morgan snapped before tightening his grip on the gun. "Move, Garcia."

"No," Garcia shook her head. "If you want to kill him, you have to go through me. Derek, I know you're in there. Please, don't do this."
