Chapter eight
JJ sighed as she leaned her head back and rubbed forehead. "How much longer can it last?" she muttered closing her eyes. "It´s a big surgery," Reid said rubbing his eyes. It had been five hours since they had arrived at the hospital. They were alerted when they arrived that the girl had been taken to surgery and Freya was in there with her. Every once in a while JJ or Emily had been over and ask for information but nothing each time. "I just wish I knew what´s going on," JJ stated. A door opened and Hotch placed a hand on her thigh. "JJ," he said and JJ looked up to see her cousin coming towards them, still in her scrubs. She was covered in blood and her olive colored skin was pale. "Freya," JJ exclaimed as she jumped up and rushed over to Freya who smiled tiredly.
"Hi," she said, taking of her cap. "How is she?" Hotch asked placing an arm around JJ sensing something in the young doctor. Rossi and Prentiss took place besides Garcia who was squeezing Prentiss´ hand. Morgan stood beside Garcia and Reid took a place besides Freya. "We did everything we could," Freya swallowed, tears welling up. "But there was just too much damage." Garcia clapped her hand over her mouth and JJ felt her own tears burn. Emily hid her face momentarily before her sad eyes met Dave´s. She could see the anger and sorrow in them. Hotch´s normal stoic face were cold and sad as he took JJ´s hand. "What killed?" he paused. "She had multiple stab wounds to her upper body. She had a pulmonary lacerations in her lungs which caused hemopneumothorax. It´s means there´s a hole in the space between the lungs and ribcage. He also stabbed her twice in the liver making her bleed out. Her body was slightly underweight and she was severely dehydrated, add that to the stress and other injuries she had and I´m surprised she made it to the hospital alive," Freya rubbed her weary eyes and swallowed deep. "JJ, have you made contact to the next of kin?" she asked and JJ nodded. "They´re on their way," she said and Freya nodded. "Page me when they arrive? I´ll notify them," Freya turned around and left the team.
She was exhausted. 1 hour of suspense finding and frantically trying to get Sarah to the hospital alive and then 5 hours of surgery and then having to tell everybody that she had failed. Freya sighed as she began stripping herself and stepped into the shower. Groaned as the warm water began washing away the dirt, blood and despair. Soon she felt the tears begin to mingle with the warm water and her bitter salty drops disappeared together with the blood and water flowing down the drain. She wept for a while before reaching for the soap and begin the shower for real. Half hour after she had left the team she stepped out fresh and warm. She quickly dried up and dressed before checking her pager. Sighing in relief she found no messages on the pager so she applied new makeup and then she headed out to face the dragon. That meant having to be the one to destroy all hope for a family of getting their loved one back and to tell a girl her friend had died before convincing her she wasn´t to blame.
"JJ, I´m beginning to worry," Emily sipped the warm liquid from her cup looking at her friend. "Freya has been in the shower for over half an hour now." JJ nodded yawning. "Yeah, well I understand her," JJ mumbled. "Right now I just wish I could crawl under by bed and stay there." She jumped as the phone rang and her face turned sad and serious as she answered. "Agent Jareau speaking," JJ nodded even though the receiver couldn´t see her. "I´ll be right there. I´ll page Dr. Summers," JJ hung up and sighed. "They´re here. We better call Freya." Emily nodded and dialed when a ringing sound interrupted them and a voice said: "I assume I don´t have to answer that, right?" Freya stepped in. They stared at her. "Didn´t think so," she said. "They´re here?" JJ nodded and Freya sighed. "I guess I better inform them, then," she said and Hotch nodded. "I´ll go with you."

Mr. and Mrs. Hill were waiting for them in a small room. They had gotten coffee and were sitting holding each other hands. Freya sighed as she looked up at Hotch. "I wish we didn´t have to do this," she said before she opened the door and walked in. "Mr. and Mrs. Hill? I´m agent Aaron Hotchner from the FBI and this is Dr. Summers," Hotch introduced as the two sat down across the table. "Sarah? T-they said we should come because they had found Sarah," Mrs. Hill said tears already streaming down her cheeks. "Yes, Mrs. Hill. We have found Sarah!" Hotch paused. "I´m so sorry," he began but was stopped by Mrs. Hill´s strangled cry. "Oh noo," she cried beginning to sob. "No, God, no!" she sobbed Mr. Hill not even bothering to wipe the tears from his own face as he took her into his arms and held her as she sobbed. "My baby," she wept. "My baby."
"I´m so sorry," Freya said gently. "I wish I didn´t have to ask you but I need you to identify her." Mr. Hill nodded. "O-of course," he said. "I-I think we knew when we got the call." Freya swallowed wishing she wasn´t there. "If there´s anything you need," Freya said gently. "P-please," Mr. Hill said. "I need to know h-how she died." He watched as the agent and the doctor stiffened and he knew it was bad. "Please, I have to know." The doctor sighed before sitting down again next to them. "Mr. Will, I know you want to know what your girl went through but I´m telling you, you really don´t want to. You need to remember how Sarah was before and not how she died, okay?"
Freya watched as he swallowed deep and blinked his tears away before nodded. "Okay," he said. "I guess I have to identify her, then." Freya nodded and Hotch added before leaving with her: "I´m sorry Mr. and Mrs. Hill." He turned around slowly and looked his wife into the eyes for the first time since they arrived and he saw how she came undone. He hurried to her and hugged her as she wept and she felt how his own tears fell down into her hair.
Outside Freya sighed as she turned to Hotch. "What do we do now?" she asked. "We do what we do best," Hotch replied sternly. "We turn to the profile." Together they walked down the hall towards the rest of the team who where waiting in conference room. "Okay guys, right now we have nothing okay?" Hotch started as he entered the room. "We need to built a profile right now so we can find the UnSub."
"What do we know," he said before sitting down next to JJ. "He´s a sexual sadist," Prentiss stated and they all nodded. "He takes in women and makes them his slaves. Mostly sexual needs. He´s strong, being able to take these women, Sarah wasn´t exactly small," Morgan noted. "And he´s organized. Capturing 3 women and who knows how many more without anyone knowing shows a high level of organization," Rossi said and Hotch nodded. "Based on the fact he targets blond, pretty females all white we must assume he´s white and based on the age of the victims I´d say he´s between 20-30 years old," Reid concluded. "This is not his first offense," Hotch said. "There´s no way he started with like this. Animal abuse, robbery, rape. there has to be some sort of escalation," he said. "The fact that he can keep the girls for so long without anyone hearing or seeing them suggest he has his own house, properly large and Miss. Wills told us she ran through a forest so he has to live out in the forest. She was found here and didn´t run to far so it should be possible to narrow it down," Hotch stated. "Morgan, call Garcia," Derek nodded and dialed and soon after the happy voice of Penelope Garcia sounded. "You have reached the oracle of all knowledge, speak and be recognized," she stated. "Hey baby girl, I need you magic," Derek smiled as Garcia made her snappy comeback. "For you my handsome chocolate God, anything. What do you need?"
"Garcia, I need you to find a map over this area," Hotch said. "We´re looking for a forest with a large house present and it has to be near the road where Miss. Wills were found," he could hear Garcia typing. "Sir, I have found six houses matching that criteria," she said. "Is there anyone who is owned by a single guy?" Rossi asked. Garcia typed more. "Yes sir, two." Rossi frowned. "Any of them have a criminal record?" The voice was Freya´s. "Good thinking," Hotch said. "Garcia?" he barked. "You´re looking for one Kevin Baker, 29 years old. He´s a engineer but was fired 6 months ago due to a filed assault on a female co-worker," Hotch smirked. "That´s the stresser," he said and Morgan nodded. "And, oh my," Garcia sounded surprised. "I think I have something else, sir," she said. "He´s born with a split lip and at the age of ten he had a serious accident which left ugly scars and cost him a big part of his nose." Hotch stood up. "Let´s go." The team got up, Freya slightly hesitating. "I think you should some too, Freya," Hotch remarked. "If the girl is alive we might need you," he said and Freya nodded. "Let me get a bag." A few moments after she and the team left in their cars. (I know this part is a bit stupid and not that well written but I´m having a slight writersblock and I want to end this story because I have already begun my next one so sorry about this).
"Wow," Freya stated softly as they arrived at the scene. "It´s so," she stopped searching for words. "I really hate to say this, but beautiful," the house was in great shape. The grass was green and the car standing in front of the house was spotless. "Wonder where he keeps them," Emily said from besides her. He can´t have kept them in the house." They parked in front of some trees blocking the view of a small hill. The darkness was starting to come, the sun setting over the treetops. "Be on guard," Hotch commanded as he opened the door. He pressed down on the speaker on his left arm. "Leave your eyes wide open, you hear me?" A scratching copy sounded and slowly he opened stepped outside.
"I have been expecting you," a male voice stated as the team got out of the car. "It took you longer than I thought." Morgan gritted his teeth. "We´re here now," he stated coldly searching the surrounds for the owner of the voice. "How did you like my gift?" a tall dark man stepped out of the shadow. He had dark hair and had a slim form covered in a very nice suit and he would be quite attractive if it wasn´t for the face. It was covered in a gray mask with holes for the eyes which were a cold blue. "Was she to your liking," he grinned and Freya felt herself just wanting to punch that man. "You sick," she cried but stopped as the UnSub´s head snapped around. The female agents had been seated in the back and just emerged together with the doctor and it was clear he hadn´t seen them because of the men standing in front of them.
He smirked as he placed himself so he could see the women making them very uncomfortable. "Well, well, well. What have we here?" he smiled his eyes running up and down their bodies. Freya swallowed, knowing how bad she just messed up and then she felt disgusted with herself, feeling the man´s eyes roam over her body. Emily and JJ had the same feeling. The UnSub grinned licking his lips. "Well, if I had know how pretty the FBI agents was gonna be I might just have sent that present sooner," he was still grinning letting his hand run down his chest and stomach. Freya instinctively began backing away feeling the discomfort of the stare. "Maybe I should just kill the guys and then we can," he smiled, licking his lips again letting his eyes roam over JJ. "Forget it," Hotch growled as he moved in front of her. "Then how about," he grinned as his eyes met the brown eyes of Emily Prentiss. "Don´t even think about it," Rossi barked as he protectively placed an arm around her. "That only leaves," he smiled at Freya who backed away. "Oh, I like this one." He smiled widely. ""She´s scared." Reid stepped in front of her. "So, you´re the twerp´s girl? I thought you´re his," he pointed at Morgan. "He seems more like your type," he smirked. Freya took Reid´s hand. "Or maybe, perhaps you want something even better," he grinned at her and Freya felt how Reid tightened his grip around her waist."You don´t know my type, do you?" she hissed. "And for the second part, I would rather die than to have you touch me-"
His eyes turned even colder and he stepped forward. Then everything happened very fast. Reid felt himself fly backwards and his world turned black as he hit a tree and Freya screamed as he closed his eyes falling down. Morgan growled as he charged forward but was surprised as he felt a sharp and overwhelming pain in his head and his eyes began closing slowly. "Derek," Hotch cried as he saw his agent fall down unconscious. He whirled around and aimed at the UnSub. He fired but missed by an inch. A loud bang sounded and Hotch winced as he heard Emily cry out in what he thought was pain. "No," she cried. "Dave!" Emily fell to her knees desperately trying to stop the bleeding from David´s stomach. Angrily she lifted her gun but was surprised to see the UnSub so close to her. She heard JJ shout something as a terrible pain hit her in the sides and in a short moment everything turned black.
JJ cried out as Emily fell and she lifted her gun but was stopped when she saw her own boyfriend fall by the hand of this unbelievable fast UnSub. Hotch heard his girlfriend cry out as he fell to the floor and his world turned black. JJ tried to back away as the UnSub advanced on her. She had forgotten she had a gun and her training. She just cried out as the UnSub punched her in the face and then kissed bent down and licked the blood off her lip which split. He grinned as he stood up and moved away from her. JJ closed her eyes, fighting the tears as she crawled over to Hotch. No way he was going to see her cry. She cradled Aaron´s head in her lap, gently stroking his raven colored hair careful not to touch where he had been hit. Morgan was breathing heavily, unconscious, on the floor and JJ crinkled at the thought of Garcia sitting back at the BAU waiting for him to come home safely. Emily were lying on the floor, hugging her side, breathing difficultly, fighting the tears of pain as she tried to crawl closer to Dave who was lying pale and bleeding on the floor, unconscious. And Freya, JJ´s head snapped around and she locked eyes with her baby cousin who were rocking back and forth. She wanted to hold her and tell her everything was alright but in the given situation she knew she couldn´t.
Freya was scared out of her mind. Her cousin and new friends. All of them lying spread all over the cold hard earth some of them barely breathing. She wanted to run over Dave and fix him. She wanted to examine Hotch and insure JJ that he would be fine and most of all she wanted to be held by Spencer. He had been hit in the head and flew into a tree where he fell down out cold. Freya turned to him and sighed in relief as she saw him moan. She began crawling towards him. Her knees had given up as she watched the whole team of FBI agents fall. "Spence," she breathed as she began touching his head making sure he was still breathing. "Spence, please say something," she pleaded. He groaned in responds. Freya noted JJ frantically trying to get Hotch to wake up and Emily were crying silently over Dave´s body, which were still bleeding. Derek were still out cold. "So these are the mighty FBI agents," he spat out the FBI part. "You´re weren´t that tough," he smirked as he lifted the gun. "As much as I like you, hottie," he smiled coldly at JJ as he pointed the gun at her, JJ staring at her trying to tell her all the things she wouldn´t have a chance to say later. "No," Freya whispered desperately trying to find a way to save her. She felt her way over her own body and Reid´s trying to find anything – something. She was just about to cry in frustration when she felt something cold and hard.
JJ was feeling the tears sting in her eyes her mind whirling with memories and feelings. The UnSub smiled coldly as he loaded the gun. "I really like the way you look honey, but let´s face it – you´re to dangerous to keep." he grinned as he aimed and JJ closed her eyes in trying to memories Hotch´s face. A loud bang sounded and JJ was surprised as she opened her eyes and saw she was still alive. In front of her stood a shaking Freya, gun still aiming right ahead. On the ground the UnSub was lying, still, bleeding out of the mouth and chest, his eyes still wide open but no one was home. He was dead. JJ stood up and hurried over to her cousin who were shaking, tears leaking out of her eyes. "I-I-I," she stuttered her hands shaking. JJ slowly took the gun from her and took her into her arms Freya let her hold her and rock her, her hands hanging loosely down. "Freya? Sweetie?" JJ searching her cousin´s eyes. "I took an oath, Jayjay," Freya whispered, still staring at the dead body. "I promised I would always do my best to help any human being and heal," she stopped and met JJ´s eyes, tears beginning to run faster down. "A-and now I-I´ve just," she began sobbing and JJ´s closed her eyes. "I know, sweetie," she cooed. "And I´m sorry."
"Freya! Please, help me," a desperate voice cried and Freya turned around slowly. Emily was staring at her, her hands trying to stop the bleeding in David Rossi´s stomach. Freya stared blankly at her friend for a short moment then her eyes turned colder and Emily saw how the doctor became her and Freya herself hid inside with all the feelings she couldn´t have right now. JJ promised herself she would talk to Freya later as she watched how her cousin bent down and her hands quickly examined David Rossi´s still body. "He´ll be alright, Emily," she stated a moment after. "Get an ambulance her, JJ." JJ nodded. "Agent down! I repeat agent down. Please sent an ambulance immediately," she cried and when they responded she handed them the coordinates.
Freya hurried over and got her bag and rushed over to Dave again. She reached in and found a IV-line and a bag of fluids. "What are you doing?" Emily asked as she watched her friend stick in the needle and hooked him up on fluids. "I´m giving him something called colloids for his blood loss." Freya found a syringe and filled up it with a clear fluid. "Morphine for his pain," Freya explained before Emily asked. She found some gaze and began bandaging him up the best she could. "I can´t do anything else before the EMT gets here." JJ had gone over to Hotch. She fell to her knees placing his head into her lap. "Aaron? Aaron please wake up! I need you," she whispered.
"No, Freya. Just concentrate on him, please," JJ´s head snapped around as she heard the outbreak. Freya tried to get Emily to sit still so she could examine her friend. "Emily, I can´t do anything for Dave before the ambulance comes so please, let me help you." Emily stared at her man shortly before nodding and Freya began feeling her side. Emily winced as Freya pressed down. Freya found her stethoscope in her bag. "Breath in deep," Freya ordered and Emily hissed in pain. "As I thought," Freya placed the stethoscope down. "I´ll need x-rays when we get back to the hospital." Freya sighed happily as the ambulances swung in, in front of the house. Then she got up and hurried towards her boyfriend who was moving slightly suggesting he would wake up soon. "Spence? Spencer, wake up?" Freya let her hands check his head. She sighed as she found his plus steady and calm. "Oh my God," she then exclaimed her eyes getting bigger. "The girl," JJ stared at her cousin at the outburst and Emily´s eyes widened.
"What happened?" an paramedic asked as he came rushing up. "I´m doctor Summers from Virginia Memorial," Freya said. "We have an agent with a gun shot to the right abdomen, through and through. Start an IV-line with saline and give a 10cc of morphine. He needs CAT-scan as soon as possible and have a surgical team standing by. Agent Prentiss," Freya gestured at Emily who was breathing heavily, hugging her left side. "I suspect a fractured rib or two so x-rays and get a CAT-scan for internal injuries. The agent over there," she pointed at Reid. "He´s coming too and has a strong plus. The rest I haven´t gotten to yet, but we think there´s a girl in the house somewhere and she will need help immediately," Freya ended and the paramedic nodded. "I´ll see to the others and you go and find that girl. Morris, you go with the doctor," he said and a young male came over carrying a bag. Freya nodded.
"Search the house and find that girl," JJ ordered the newly arrived police and soon after the house was being torn apart in the search for the missing girl. "I got her," a voice hollered and Freya and JJ hurried towards the voice together with the paramedic. They arrived in basement and JJ shivered by the cold and dampness of the place. They entered a small room where a officer stood bent over a female frame. "Move," Freya ordered as she bent down. She placed a hand on her wrist looking for a pulse. "It´s very weak," she stated. "Start an IV-line with saline, crystalloids and collides. Get a C-collar and let´s get a gurney in here. We need to get her to a hospital ASAP." Freya took the needle she was handed and quickly inserted it into a arterial before hooking it up to bag of fluids. The paramedic placed the collar around the neck and two police officers came rushing in with the gurney. "Go to the others, Jayjay," Freya said. "I´ll go with the girl to the hospital. See you there," JJ watched as her cousin rushed out together with two police officers, a paramedic and a pale and unconscious girl on a gurney. She sighed before hurrying out to the rest of her team.
JJ noted how Rossi was being loaded into a waiting ambulance, Emily standing besides him, hugging her side, wincing slightly as a paramedic pushed her aside so he could get in. The sirens sounded and the blue blinks disappeared. Reid was standing next to Morgan who was lying on a gurney, struggling to get up. Reid´s face was covered in blood but he seemed fine. Morgan on the other hand swayed as he got up and a paramedic pushed him back down scolding on him. "JJ, thank God you´re okay," a deep voice said and JJ felt herself being engulfed in a hug. She sighed as she breathed in the sent so uniquely Hotch and she smiled softly, tears brimming in her eyes as she saw his smiling eyes. "I couldn´t find you when I woke up and no one had seen you or Freya." Hotch was pale but determined and stoic even with blood dripping down his face. "Where is she?" Reid´s voice sounded strangled and since he had been coming too as the gun was fired JJ understood his fright. "She´s okay, Reid," JJ said. "She went with the girl to the hospital. We´ll meet her there."
"The girl? She was alive?" Hotch´s voice was sharp and JJ nodded. "Barely but she was still breathing." Hotch winced as he began walking towards the cars. "We better get there." He was almost there when someone snatched his car keys from his hands. "Ah-ah, Aaron. You´re not driving. They are," JJ pointed backwards to the ambulances. "You´re hurt and you know as well as I do you´re not allowed to drive in your condition." Hotch pouted as JJ began pulling him towards the blue lights but deep down inside he knew she was right. He got in next to Derek who was lying on a gurney, pouting slightly. "I don´t need to lie here," he muttered but Hotch silenced him with a glance. "Where´s Prentiss?" he asked and JJ answered as she got up and sat down next to him. "She´s with Dave and Reid´s there too." Hotch nodded. "Good. Now let´s get going." The sirens began again and JJ felt the ambulance begin to speed up.
–
They wheeled Rossi away to surgery immediately, Emily standing behind watching as they took him where she couldn´t go. "Miss." a voice called and Emily turned around. "Huh?" A old nurse smiled at her gently leading her towards a curtain room where she pushed her down, gently. "I really want to," Emily started but the nurse hushed her. "They´ll take good care of him and there´s nothing you can do. Besides the dark handsome man said I should take a look at you even if I had to sedate you," the nurse winked and Emily sighed giving up. "Now, the paramedic who brought you guys in told me to get an x-ray because your doctor-friend suspected a broken rib so I´ll get a wheelchair and then we´re going to radiology."
"But I don´t need a wheelchair," Emily protested but the nurse didn´t listen. "It´s hospital policy." Shortly after she returned with the chair and Emily was taken up. JJ sat besides Hotch who was being check out by a male doctor. "This hurt?" Hotch winced as the doctor examined his head. "I´ll take that as a yes," he noted. "I think we should get a CT-scan of your head just to be sure and I´ll get someone to stitch up the cut on your forehead. A nurse will come and take you upstairs to CT-scan, okay?" The doctor smiled at JJ before leaving. She had already been checked out and nothing besides a minor bruise on her left cheek. "Do you know anything about Rossi or Morgan?" Hotch mumbled as he laid down. JJ shook her head. "Do you want me to find out?" Hotch shook his head wincing in pain. "No, I just want to hold you, JJ," he whispered and JJ smiled as she lowered herself down making her body to fit his. "I´m not sure we´re supposed to do this, Aaron," JJ smiled. "You´re better thank pain medicine," he smirked and JJ giggled before she turned more serious and then began to cry softly. "I-I almost lost you," she whispered lifting her face and looked into his eyes. "I don´t know what I would do without you, Aaron." Hotch kissed her gently. "You´ll never have to find out," he swallowed before his voice turned thick. "I almost lost you too. I don´t think I could survive without you." Their lips met in another sweet kiss.
Freya rubbed her eyes as she went over to the nurses station. "Aaron Hotchner, Jennifer Jareau, Derek Morgan, Emily Prentiss, David Rossi and Spencer Reid, please," she stated and the nurse sitting at the desk nodded as she found all the files. "Here you go doctor," Freya thanked her as she walked over to a chair and plopped down. She read the files and nodded before returning the charts and walked towards the patient rooms.
"Freya," Reid pulled her into a tight hug and she felt how her body began to relax being held by him. "Spence," she whispered closing her eyes. A cough interrupted and Freya opened her eyes and smiled tiredly at the team. Hotch was sitting in a wheelchair with JJ on his lap. Morgan was lying in bed, pouting and Emily sat on another wheelchair with an IV-bag attached to her. Reid sat down in another chair. "Any news on Dave?" Emily´s voice was high pitched and nervous. Freya shook her head. "He was shot in the abdomen. Luckily it didn´t hit any major organs so he will be fine. They´re properly closing up right now," she said. "And the girl?" Hotch asked. "She´ll be okay. She had some major bruising and several broken bones in different degrees of healing but in time she´ll be fine. As far as you guys go I can see Hotch has a slight concussion and stitches done. Morgan you have to stay in bed for some days with two broken ribs and a bent one plus dissy-spells when you stand you need further test done. Emily has a broken rib and Jayjay bruised jaw. And Spence, you have a small concussion too. But you´re all gonna be okay," she smiled as she sat down on Reid´s lap making the young genius wince in pain. "Oh God. I´m sorry, honey." Reid shook her head. "It´s okay."
The door was pushed open with a large amount of force and a very angry and scared looking Penelope Garcia came rushing in. "Here you are," she cried. "I have looked everywhere for you." Morgan smiled. "Hey baby girl. It´s good to," he was cut off as Garcia punched him on his arm. "Ow, Garcia. What the hell?" Morgan rubbed his arm. "You had me worried sick," Garcia yelled. "I hate then you do that. I was called by the hospital saying you all were in here and I had to get here by myself. And I didn´t know if you were okay. I just wanna," she growled. "Ugh!" Morgan´s eyes softened. "I´m sorry baby girl. I didn´t mean to," he apologized and the rest of the team had to hide their smiles in their hands expect Reid who looked questionable at Freya who was shook her head.
"Dr. Summers?" a older male doctor entered smiling as he saw his young college jumped up making the young man she was sitting with wince. "I´m here to inform you David Rossi is out of surgery and is in recovery. He´ll be awake in a few hours." Emily made a sound which sounded like something between a sigh, a sob and laughter. "Oh thank God," she moaned and the doctor smiled. "You can come with me up there. He´ll properly be happy to see a known face when he awakes." Emily smiled and was about to stand but Freya pushed her down. "Ah-ah Em. You´re staying in that wheelchair. I´ll get a nurse." Emily pouted but was satisfied when a nurse arrived and wheeled her out.
"I guess I´ll go and tell Jessica that Anna is safe and okay," Freya smiled. "I´ll come," Hotch said but Freya shook her head. "Not a good idea, Hotch. You´re hurt." Hotch dismissed her and stood up. He left and Freya turned around and asked the team: "Is he always so stubborn," she asked and the team smiled as they all replied ´yes´. Freya shrugged before going after the unite chief.
A knock woke her and she sat up as her doctor and one of the agents came in smiling softly at her. "Hey Jessica. Where´s your parents?" her doctor asked as she took the charge from her bed. She read it over quickly. "Jessica, we´re here because we have news," the agent said and Jessica felt her stomach tighten. "W-what is a m-matter?" she stuttered. The doctor smiled at her comforting her. "It´s okay Jessica. We found Anna and she alive and well," the doctor said. "S-she.. A-Anna s-she´s a-alright?" she whispered tearing brimming in her eyes. The doctor nodded. "She´s gonna be alright, Jessica." Jessica felt the tears begin to run. "W-what about," she whispered. "He´s dead." The agent said. Jessica nodded and for the first time in a really long time she felt safe. The door opened and her parents came in. She saw how her mother froze as she spotted the agents. "Is something wrong?" her father stepped in but the agent explained and the doctor turned to her and smiled softly. "You´re okay, Jessica. You survived and you´ll be alright." The doctor checked her charge again. "And you can go home in a day or so," she smiled. "H-home?" Jessica titled her head. Home it had been so long since she had thought of home. The next day the doctor kept her promise and she stepped into the sun for the first time in months.
–
I´m free. This time I´m finally free. And I´m safe. And I´ll be alright. I survived as she said. I survived and he didn´t. I can be free again. I can be free. Free
THE END
So I´m planning a sequel but I´m sorta having a writers block plus I have exams so it might be a while. Until then TTFN
