Everything Is Alright... NOT!
"Chambers Drop your weapon and back away form Spencer Reid, Emily Prentiss and the children. You have no where else to go so give it up!" Morgan said very sternly.
"Sorry agent Morgan, but a promise's a promise" he said before aiming his gun.
As the rest of the team arrived, three gun shots were heard and doctors and nurses running into Emily and Reid's room. As they ran to the room, they saw one gurney coming out having Chambers on it, a second gurney pulled out seconds later with Morgan on it, but he was unconscious and finally a third was pulled in the room and seconds later it came back out and the whole team gasped when they saw a bloodied Samantha Anne Prentiss-Reid.
Reid was able to walk and was holding Samuel in is arms, while following the gurney, we then came in and saw the doctors injecting Emily with something.
"Who are you?" the doctor asked.
"I'm Agent Prentiss's and Reid's supervisor" he said while flashing his credentials. "What are you doing to agent Prentiss?"
"Her heart rate was getting too high and any longer she would have gotten into Cardiac arrest agent. So we're sedating her for the next couple of days"
"Alright, now what happened?" Rossi demanded.
"We really have no idea sir, you'll have to wait until whoever just left the room with a small boy, returns" the male nurse said, while finishing throwing the used needle in the hazardous garbage, before walking out of the room.
Reid and Samuel were back inside minutes later, their faces white as bed sheets. This wasn't good.
"Reid, what happened?"
"All I remember is seeing a gun pointed at Emily and I and before I could do anything he turned it to Morgan, fired. Morgan fired back, but not before the gun went off again and hit Samantha..."
"Hi Sammy going to be okay dad?"
"... Yes she is Sam. Don't worry okay?"
"Okay dad" the little boy replied before clinging tightly to his father.

About an hour later, Morgan had joined the res of the team back in the waiting room and would check up on Reid. Prentiss and Samuel to update them on their daughter. After seeing all three of them fast asleep, the older agent returned to the waiting room only to see a doctor talking to Hotch and Rossi.
"Hotch... what is it?"
"Chambers didn't make it through surgery"
"But Samantha did. She's in recovery right now and can be moved near Emily and Reid's room" Rossi finished.
"Once they're awake, i'll tell them" Morgan said.
"My poor angels and gumdrops... haven't they been through enough?"
"It's all over mama"
"I want to say that but..." Seaver said, but stopped, when she received a glare from Morgan.
"Morgan, you know the possibilities, don't take it out on Ashley for being brave enough to say it out loud" Rossi defended Ashley.
"What are you guys talking about?"
"If Doyle did have all those connections, especially in SWAT... there's a chance that someone in the bureau and other law enforcements may go after Prentiss... or anyone including us"
"What are you saying?" Garcia asked, already knowing the answer but hoped that it wasn't what she thought.
"Garcia... they might have to return to Witness Protection, but this time Reid's a target as well"
"This ain't right" Morgan said, before kicking the wall, earning a glare from a nearby nurse, "Sorry" he said while looking at the nurse.
"Morgan, none of us like the idea but if it means protecting them from the enemy while Interpol does the rest of hunting them down... them so be it" Hotch declared.
"Hotch, it can take forever! We might even not see them again!"
"If that's what it means to make sure they live as a family... then yes we'll have to take that chance Morgan"
"..." Morgan couldn't say anything, he wanted to argue but he knew that Hotch was right. Reid's family was still in danger and they needed to protect them. Even if it meant not seeing them ever again. The ultimate price to protect the ones you love.

When Reid opened his eyes again, he saw that both Emily and Samuel were still fast asleep. As he was about to walk out of the room, Hotch, Morgan and Rossi came in and pulled him into the hallway.
"Chambers died on the table, but your daughter is in the recovery room and will be placed in the nearest room to Emily's" Rossi said in a reassuring voice.
"But we realized that if a SWAT member like Chambers worked for Doyle... what about the Bureau?"
"I think I know what you're all getting at" Reid admitted.
"Kid... we're going to have to send all of you into the Witness Protection Program" Morgan finished.
"You do know that if we go... we might never see any of you again or make any contacts?"
"We know... but we don't want to bury four bodies" Morgan said with sadness in his voice.
"...When do we leave?" Reid asked.
"As soon as both Prentiss and Samantha are cleared to leave the hospital grounds" Hotch said in his boss voice.
"Alright..."
