Alone

Okay...So this chapter was accidentally put on my other Criminal Minds story...So if any of you read my other story...you have already read this. I feel horrible for this stupid mix up. I'm very sorry for any confusion or irritation this caused...but here's an update...hope you enjoy.

Emily Prentiss handed the phone back to JJ, who was waiting on an explanation to the smile on her face.

"She said that she wouldn't tell her all of the details, just the vague things that happened. That should appease the Ambassador for now." JJ shook her head and chuckled. They were just arriving at the hospital and the paramedic that had been sitting quietly, prepared to get his patient out as quickly as possible. JJ watched him as he moved around the ambulance and saw his urgent face glancing back and forth between Emily's pale face and the door. This was making JJ even more nervous than before.

Once they got out of the ambulance, JJ already had to argue with Emily about being wheeled into the hospital. Emily was adamant about being able to walk on her own.

"Em, stop. I know you can, but you don't need to. Now cooperate please?" JJ's tone was exasperated and authoritative. She shared a look with the paramedics and smirked playfully at Emily. As they wheeled Emily in, JJ expected more arguing but instead there was silence. Worry entered her thoughts and she looked down to Emily's lethargic, colorless face. Emily's eyes drooped closed and JJ gasped, taking her friend's hand.

"Emily! You have to stay awake!" JJ looked to the paramedics, who had started to roll her on with more urgency than before into a trauma room, where doctors and nurses took over and tried to push her out of the room. JJ argued but was ushered out of the room by a kind looking nurse.

"Ma'am, you need to wait out in the waiting room." JJ's eyes were angry.

"Nurse, I'm Agent Jereau with the FBI and that is my partner. You will let me in there right now." JJ held up her badge with tears in her eyes threatening to spill and the nurse looked taken aback. Then the nurse took a deep breath and shook her head.

"Agent Jereau, I'm sorry. We don't let family members or co-workers in the trauma room. You need to wait in the waiting room. I'll show you where that is, if you'll follow me." The nurse's eyes were filled with determination now and JJ could tell that the nurse wasn't going to be told what to do. JJ gritted her teeth in anger and she clenched her hands into fists.

JJ followed her, finally defeated. The waiting room was full of groaning and moaning people and JJ looked to the nurse in disdain and disbelief.

"You're not going to make me sit in there, are you?" JJ spoke through gritted teeth as she looked back to the slightly amused-looking nurse.

"I'm afraid there is no place else to wait, ma'am." With that sarcastic remark, she left. JJ tried to calm herself with a deep breath and shook her head. This was just great. She just had to go and make the stupid nurse mad. She looked into the germ-infested waiting room and decided to call Hotch and the team instead of sitting.

"Hotch?" JJ had walked outside of the hospital and paced back and forth, waiting on a response from her boss.

"JJ, how is she?" His voice was stiff and void of all emotion.

"I don't know. They kicked me out of the trauma room…even when I showed them my badge and gun." Irritation seeped through her tone.

"We're almost there. We'll go talk to the doctor as soon as I get there." Hotch's voice was determined and JJ relaxed a bit.

"I'm outside of the hospital…I kind of made the nurse mad and she stuck me in the waiting room. Do you know how many sick people can fit in a waiting room?" Disgust filled her voice and Hotch smirked in amusement.

"Okay. See you in a few." JJ hung up and waited for her team.
