Epilogue
Even thought they had broken the law Andi, Winters, and Garcia got off with nothing. They had saved the agents life when other wise they would have died and that was what being a cop was all about, right? The confession that they had gotten from Osten was a lot of help as well.
In the interview Osten had told them everything. He started with how he had found out that his neighbor, Tom Feret, was arrested with his crimes. He was furious! How could anyone with he minds like the BAU team mistake the low life Tom for his brilliant crimes. So he started to come up with a way to get back at them.
After much planning he went to the airport and broke the gas hose in the small jet. That was way the flight was so late, after all it needed to be, they needed to crash at night. Then he went and hid in a small space under the seats of the pilot and co-pilot where a lot of the wires were. Then waited there.
Before he had calculated how long it would take before they would get over the mountains and a few miles of so from Woodland park. Once that time had past he came out of hiding and wrestled the plane to the ground, jumping out of the cock-pit right before it hit the ground. Then he took up Agent Jareau and her gun. Then got the team to the house.
As Osten told the story he said it with such pride. It was like he was telling it to a good friend and more like he had caught the winning home run. The tone of voice made Sandy shiver for letting the creep have the BAU team for so long.
Now everyone was at the hospital. Sandy, Winters, Andi, Kelly, and Garcia all sat in the waiting room. Fear for the agents in the hospital was building. The one that they were most afraid for was Hotch, though. He had been shot and it seemed like he was almost dead at the house.
Emily was the first to come through the door. She looked almost like her normal self. There were a few cuts and bruises along her face, but nothing looked that bad. All in all you would never know what had happened to her by just looking at her. She sat down with the others waiting to see how the rest of her team were.
In a few minutes JJ walked in. She had a little limp, but it was not that bad. She looked a lot like Emily in the way of cuts. If you looked at her right leg, though, you would find a cut that went from her knee to her side. There were also a few stitches in it. She sat next to Emily, who was right next to Garcia.
The door did not open for another half hour. When it finally did open Gideon came through. His face was bruised a lot more then the others but he had less cuts. On the side of his head was a very large cut, though, that had stitches. He joined the other silent agents, looking the saddest of them all.
In a few more minutes Morgan walked in. Unlike the others he was wearing scrubs. With his dark skin you could not see all the bruises that covered his face, but out of everyone he had the most. He also had a lot of cuts. The worst one was half on his fore-head and half on the side of his head. It was stitched together and looked really swollen. He sat next to Garcia. Not long after he arrived he started to talk, telling the story of what had happened to them, and soon Emily and JJ were in on it to, though Gideon stayed quiet.
The door opened 10 minutes later and Reid walked in. He looked the worst out of all of them. He had the most scratches, but not the most bruises. The thing that caught your first was the cut on his fore-head. It started just above the right eyes and went to the very end of his fore-head on the left side. There were stitches all the way down it and it was all red and looked infected, which it was.
Like Morgan Reid was going to have to stay the night. Morgan was weak and had an infected cut so he was advised to stay. Reid had lost a lot of blood and his cut was infected and also just plain bad. He was told he had to say the night. It was also a miracle that the doctors let him go out of his room. He had begged and pleaded, though. After all he was still in the hospital and was only a few feet from the emergence room.
"So wait you broke the law to save us?" Morgan asked after Garcia and the others had finished their side of the story.
"Of course sugar pop!" Garcia laughed.
"I get why you would, but them?" Morgan asked pointing to Winters and Andi.
"John is an old college friend." She answered.
"A college friend broke the law for you?" JJ asked smiling.
"Um…" Garcia stuttered.
"An old college boyfriend!" Winters said.
"Oh!" Emily and JJ said as one and Morgan laughed.
"And what about Agent Anderson?" Gideon asked speaking for the first time.
"I owed him a favor." Andi explained.
"Most have been a really big favor." Morgan said.
"He saved my life." Andi explained.
Throw all the talk Reid said nothing. He was still to sad. He had watched Hotch fall and no matter what he could not get the sight out of his head. Everywhere he looked he saw the bloody body falling to the ground, almost like that was death itself. Gideon, next to hum, could fell his mood and rapped his arm around the young man, helping both of their feelings.
The cheer mood was broken when the door opened and a doctor walked in. He was kind of tall and had Reid long blood hair. Reid, Gideon, Emily, JJ, Garcia, and Morgan all jumped up. The rest of the group stood more slowly.
"Hello I am Doctor Chase." He said with a strong Australian accent. "Aaron is out of surgery and is awake. He is expected to make a full recovery. He is very lucky, though. The bullet went like a centimeter under his heart."
"Can we see him?" Gideon asked before Morgan could.
"Before all of you go he is asking to see Doctor Spencer Reid." Doctor Chase said looking at all of the older men.
Reid slowly stepped forward. When Dr. Chase saw this, his face changed to wonder. Then he led the way out of the room and down the hall.
Unable to stop himself Dr. Chase asked. "You look to young to be a doctor?"
"Um…I have three PhDs" Reid answered softly wondering why Hotch was asking for him.
"What?" Dr. Chase laughed. "Are you like a genius or what?!"
"Yeah…" Reid said really not in the mood for this.
Dr. Chase led him down a set of hallways then finally stopped at a room. Reid slowly entered the room. Hotch was on the bed. His face was not as bad as the others, though he did have a really big bruise on his chin. Slowly Reid stepped closer unable to get the sight of his half dead body on the bloody floor out of his head.
Hotch's eyes opened half way. "Reid, I'm sorry!" He said weakly.
"It's ok, Hotch." Reid said forcing back tears.
"No, Reid, I should have listened to you. You were right!" Hotch said.
"We… we all make mistakes." Was all he could think to say.
"Spencer, you knew that Feret was not the guy the moment we saw him. I should have believed you. I was to busy trying to prove that I don't need you. Everyone's opinion is important and I throw yours out because no one agreed with you!"
Reid was silent for a minute then came to the conclusion that Hotch was right, in a way. It was not all his fault but Reid had been right.
"I forgive you…. As long as you promise to never be wrong again!" Reid said with a smile. The first smile he had made in about 24 hours.
"Reid, I'm not you." Hotch smiled and they both laughed softly.
