Ambulance

They breathed a sigh of relief as the stray bullet lodged itself into the wall. He looked up from the floor and wondered where he was. What the hell was going on? He didn't remember getting here. What was he even doing here? The only thing he was sure about was the pain in his chest.

Emily closed her eyes and her breathing became more laboured as the paramedics ran in to deal with them both. She kept trying to fight but it was getting harder and harder. She was still in shock that the man she loved had shot her. She wouldn't give up on life though. She couldn't let her two young children lose their mother.

The paramedics put her on a stretcher and then headed over to an incredibly confused Aaron who was trying to keep his eyes open and Rossi was encouraging to fight. He was relieved to see the drug had worn off his best friend but he knew he would have questions he would need answering. Just like all the other victims it was clear he couldn't remember what had happened.

He was also put in the ambulance and they were both placed on monitors and drips. They had to deal with the blood loss as it was becoming too great. Emily in fact was turning grey much to her mother's horror who kept encouraging her to fight and a grey tinge was starting to take over Aaron's skin. The paramedics worked as hard as they could to try and keep them alive.

Rossi knew he had so much to tell Aaron though he didn't know how he would react. How would he react when he told him what he'd just done? How would he react when he heard he'd shot Emily willingly? He loved Emily and in the right frame of mind would never have harmed her. He'd feel guilty forever but he knew they would all try and help him over it. All that was important now though was making sure he pulled through and Emily or he'd have committed murder.

Suddenly he heard machines going haywire and looked behind him just in time to see the paramedics bring out the defibrillators and place them onto Emily's chest. He held Elizabeth close to him as she fell apart and rubbed her back.

"Elizabeth, it'll be alright. You know she'll pull through. She's a fighter," he soothed. She nodded and he turned to Emily placing his hand on her arm. "You hear me Emily you're going to pull through. You fought death once before and will fight again. You're the strongest woman I know."

"It's all his fault," she spat. "He shot my daughter."

"He was under mind control." She looked at him in disbelief. "Our latest UnSub was drugging authority figures into doing his bidding. Aaron was his latest victim. Believe me if Aaron had known what he was doing he would never have shot Emily. He loves her and would never have harmed a hair on her head willingly."

She nodded seeing the conviction in his eyes and from her brief dealings with Aaron she knew it was the truth but she was still in shock he'd just shot her daughter; mind control or not. Her daughter was critically injured and she was still shaken over seeing her get shot in front of her. She knew her daughter's job could be dangerous but out of sight she didn't have to think about it.

Suddenly everything calmed down again and Emily's heart rate returned to normal. She was so relieved it had. She vowed she would try and make amends with Emily and try and be a better mother than she had been. Seeing her own daughter almost get shot dead had brought them closer. She'd even try to do better by her grandchildren.

They soon arrived at the hospital and this time Aaron started crashing. Rossi watched as they rushed him to surgery trying to revive him with defibrillators. He felt so guilty he'd had to shoot him but it had been the only way to stop him from hurting anyone else while he was under mind control. He was just thankful he no longer was but there was so much Aaron now had to face.

He watched after them lost while they also rushed Emily to surgery. It had been such a long day and he just wanted to sink but there was so much to worry about. The future was so unclear now and he just wished there was something he could do.
