Chapter IX: How deep is your love

"I know your eyes in the morning sun

I feel you touch me in the pouring rain

And the moment that you wander far from me

I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me in a summer breeze

Keep me warm in your love and then you leave

And it's me you need to show "

Gideon's POV

I was just about to start to make us breakfast on Sunday morning when I heard something I didn't want to hear. Eveleen was coughing very badly and it didn't sound like normal cough involved to a common flu. I left everything I was doing and flew to Eveleen. "So I guess this is not a common flu," she tried to joke but her voice was weak. I touched her forehead and it was sweaty and hot. "No, this is not a common flu. Honey, you're burning up. I'm going to take you to a hospital right now, this might be serious," I said to her and then carefully dressed her. She was shaking because her fever was rising and I folded a blanket around her before carrying her to my car. I buckled her up to front seat and drove as quickly as I could to Mary Washington Hospital.

"I need help," I said to a nurse that was nearby when I carried Eveleen in. Immediately the nurse fetched stretchers with wheels somewhere and I laid Eveleen to them. "What's the matter with her?" one nurse asked but all I could do was shaking my head. "I don't know, I don't know," I managed to say after while.

I sat on one chair at the corridor when my phone rang. "Gideon," I answered. It was Hotch. "Where are you? We need you here immediately," he said to me. "What is it so important that you can't wait?" I snapped to him. "I can't discuss about it at the phone," Hotch said firmly so I had to promise him that I'd come. After ending the call, I went to reception desk and gave my card to the nurse behind it. "Would you call to this number when you know what's wrong with Eveleen Hollier, the girl that I brought sometime ago," I said to her and she promised to do so. Then I drove to Quantico.

"How deep is your love

I really need to learn

'cause we're living in a world of fools

Breaking us down

When they all should let us be

We belong to you and me"

Everyone was waiting for me when I stormed in to conference room. "What is it then?" I asked from Hotch, who was standing. "We made some changes to our previous profile because of some new things we've found," he then continued and turned to face me. "And those changes are?" I asked from the team. "Well, the unsub can still be in her early twenties but we stretched the age limit so now she can be even in her thirties. We assumed that she suffered something bad when she was child and with her nanny but we now think that she might also have suffered any kind of trauma and even as early as when she was baby. Something might have happened to herself or her mother might have died. Anything. Early in this morning, local police found Chandra Singh. Again, the family of the child she was babysitting was gone and she was killed in that house. Garcia found her name in the page that we looked earlier," Hotch told me.

"The Singh family is rich and they had surveillance camera outside. Though last night was dark the camera caught something and Garcia is now trying to enhance the picture but we are pretty sure that our suspect is this girl," Morgan continued but my phone rang and I had to turn away while he put one picture to the board. "Gideon," I answered. "This is nurse Robin from Mary Washington Hospital. You asked us to call about Eveleen Hollier. It might be better that you come back here if you can," female voice said. "Sure, of course I come. I'll be there in twenty minutes," I promised to the nurse and ended the call. Then I turned back to others, and looked the board. My worry about Eveleen must have reflected on my face because Hotch asked, "Gideon, are you OK?"

I shook my head, "Fools, you've got wrong suspect," where Reid asked, "How do you know?"

"Because I just took her to Mary Washington Hospital this morning," I explained and left. Hotch catch me at doors. "Gideon, what did you just said back there?" he inquired and I explained, "She can't be the murderer because she was with me at my cabin for the whole weekend," where Hotch asked, "Why was she there Gideon?"

"Because she's my girlfriend," I answered and left Hotch there with a dumbfound expression on his face. And while I was driving to the hospital, as fast as I could, I realized that I had just called Eveleen my girlfriend for the first time. The lights turned red again. "Oh, come on," I was getting really frustrated. The nurse had sounded bit too cautious in the phone and I was worried that it could be something serious.

"I believe in you

You know the door to my very soul

You're the light in my deepest darkest hour

You're my saviour when I fall

And you may not think

I care for you

When you know down inside

That I really do

And it's me you need to show

How deep is your love

I really need to learn

'cause we're living in a world of fools

Breaking us down

When they all should let us be

We belong to you and me"

It took me a while before I found a parking place near the hospital and before I found the right nurse from there. She was friendly looking woman looking more forty years old than fifty, brown hair and laughing gray eyes. "Good evening, I'm agent Jason Gideon," I introduced myself. "Oh, good evening Mr. Gideon. You are here for Miss Eveleen Hollier, right?" she asked when noticing me. "Yes. How is she? What's wrong with her?" my questions flooded before I could stop them coming. "Calm down, Mr. Gideon, the doctor will come to tell you as soon as he can but in the mean time, you just have to wait," nurse said and continued, " I'll go and see where Dr. Lopez is," and she went.

I sat down to a chair at the corridor but soon I was pacing up and down of it because I simply couldn't stay put. It must have taken at least fifteen minutes before I saw nurse Robin coming towards me, with a doctor that I assumed to be Dr. Lopez. "Agent Gideon?" he asked and I nodded, "Come this way," and I followed him to his office. Closing his door, he gestured me to sit down and started to explain. "We almost lost her, it was very close. Based on to her symptoms and our finding from physical examination we suspected that it could be bacterial pneumonia. In these kinds of cases we take also chest X-ray, blood tests and sputum cultures, to make it sure," I must've turned pale because he hurried to continue, "After we were sure that it really was bacterial pneumonia, we immediately started antibiotics. We give her azithromycin, penicillin and some painkillers and paracetamol to keep the fever down. Her fever was 102.2 when you brought her".

"Is she going to make it?" I asked anxious and the doctor told, "She is lucky. You brought her in time but she has to stay hospitalized for two weeks and then we look if she's good enough to go back home. I suppose you want to see her now Mr. Gideon," he understood my expression. "Yes, please," was my pleading answer. "I hold you no more," he said and called another nurse in. "Nurse Heller, could you take Mr. Gideon to see Miss Hollier. She's in 236, thank you," doctor said, I thanked him and then nurse took me to Eveleen. "Here she is," the blond nurse said and left me then alone. A little while I just stood there behind the room's window but then I stepped in. Sitting beside her bed, I sighed and started to talk. "Oh Eveleen, you really scared me. When the nurse called me an hour or so, I thought I had lost you," at this point I sighed again. She looked so small and helpless when she slept in that big bed. "I'm out of words Eveleen-honey," I said and walked the window to look out. It reflected my face and I noticed it had started to rain. "I love you Eveleen," I whispered to my mirror image, turned and sat to a chair, which was placed near the bed. It had been long and hard day and because of that I burst into tears. Watching carefully Eveleen I must've fallen in to sleep. So tired I was, so deep in sleep that I didn't noticed anything to be different before I heard a rustling sound and then quiet, whispering song from behind me, at the windowsill.

"The sun comes out, the sun goes in,

The raindrops halt and march;

And when you're sure of damp and ark

Up comes the rainbow's arch."

"Then, when you're sure of sun and shine,

Down comes the pouring rain!

The weather swings from fair to foul,

From foul to fair again."

"There's neither rhyme nor reason here,

There's neither rhyme nor rule.

It's evident the April day

Is playing- April Fool."

I opened my eyes, saw that Eveleen had got up from her bed, sat at the windowsill, looking out to the rain, and sang quietly. She turned her head, faced me and smiled to me. "You should be in bed," I said with a voice full of relief and she let me help her back to bed. I sat beside her bed again and stared her face. "Oh Eveleen," I whispered and my tears began to run again.

"Shhhhhhhh Gideon, I heard you," she whispered but her voice was weary. She gave me quick smile before she continued, "Could you go and ask Mrs. Strindberg if she could take care of my cats while I'm here. Tell her that I'll pay for her after I get back home," and I promised to do that. "And now I'll let you sleep. I'll be back tomorrow," then I wished her goodnight and left. Driving to my home, I began to realize what Eveleen really meant to me. She was my light in my darkest moment, a door to my very soul. And I don't know what I'd do if I had lost her to this pneumonia.

A/N Again I have no idea of the song that Eveleen sings, found it from net and the name is An April Day. The other song is How deep is your love by Bee Gees.

A/N2 Again the song isn't supposed to be all in same line so "mark starts and ends the verse
