This story is becoming quite long. I like it.
POV- Dr. Darwin
Going back into the office, I could see Derek and Rodney Coin sizing each other up. And once Derek saw me, he just said that he had no more questions and pulled me out of the room.
"So what do you think," I asked as we got into the car. Sighing he started up the car and said "that he's narcissist asshole I'd like to knock down a few pegs." I couldn't help but smirk at that statement, the exact thing I said, to myself though, when I first met Derek.
Driving back to the station, I could still feel like I knew this case, like I knew who this was. I knew something, I just didn't know what. And it was pissing me off.
"Fuck," I said, finally realizing what I knew, slamming my fist down on the dashboard. My face fell in my hands and I groaned in annoyance.
"What," Derek asked, after stopping for a moment. Looking over at him I said "I know this case." With confusion clouding his face, he started the car again.
"What do you mean," he said after a moment, as he pulled up in front of the station. Shaking my head I just said "I probably consulted on this case and forgot about it." Grabbing my tablet I looked over the more recent victims and said "I'm the reason these women are dead."
Derek got out of the car and knew to leave me alone. I let these women die because I didn't think that this case was BAU material.
POV- Dr. Reid
"Reid," someone called out to me from the door. Looking over I saw Morgan. Walking over to me he leaned in and whispered "you're girlfriend needs you." After a moment of misunderstanding I realized that he meant Leigh.
"She's in the car," he said, seeing the look on my face. Excusing myself from the conversation, I quickly got up and hurried out of the station.
Coming upon the front door of the station, I looked through the glass and saw her in the car. The pure disappointment filling her eyes; close to tears. Quickly exiting the building I rushed up to the car and opened the door.
"Leigh," I asked, trying to be as gentle as possible. Looking up at me she seemed worried, almost scared as she said "I killed them Spencer, I let them die."
POV- Dr. Darwin
Knowing you basically killed someone, it takes a toll on you.
Quickly getting out of the car, I pushed Spencer out of the way and ran to the garbage can on the sidewalk I keeled over it. And as my stomach emptied its contents, I collapsed in exhaustion. And as Spencer caught me, I tried to push him off, wanting to stand on my own. But my body refused to get back up. I could hear the front door of the station open and people running out.
"What happened," Hotch said, as I tried to get my wits about me. But before I could answer I could hear Spencer say "I think it caught up with her." I could feel my body being picked up as Emily said "what caught up with her?" Someone put my arm around their neck and I was brought into the building.
"She doesn't sleep, maybe sleeps 2 hours every 2 days," Spencer said, sounding very concerned. The doors opened and I was placed on a soft chair, but I couldn't get my eyes to open.
"She just figured out that she knows this case," Derek said, coming upon something, but after that, I couldn't stay conscious and I slipped into nothing.
POV- Dr. Reid
"She said she killed someone, that she let them die," remembering the moment before she got out of the car. Derek and I placed her on the chair and I steadied her, not sure what to do. It seemed she finally passed out, which I had been waiting for since that plane.
"Why doesn't she sleep," JJ asked, looking incredibly concerned. Sighing I said "she made a deal her chief before she came here. That is she consulted when she had time that he would let her join our team." I could see the expression on Hotch's face change, from concern to anger.
"She's been doing this for 2 months, working for hours on end for 2 teams, so she could be here, and her old chief is allowing this," he asked, sounding like he wanted to punch a wall. I leaned down to look at her, and saw terror streaked across her face as she slept.
"Her body just gave up, it's a miracle that she lasted this long on no sleep," Emily said, touching my shoulder. Looking up at her, I felt completely helpless. And when I feel helpless, I rely on facts.
"Microsleeps occur when a person has a significant sleep deprivation. The brain automatically shuts down, falling into a sleep state for a period that can last from a second to half a minute. The person falls asleep no matter what activity he or she is engaged in. Microsleeps are similar to blackouts and a person experiencing them is not consciously aware that they are occurring."
No one cut me off, which was surprising, but when I looked back at her; I could see that she wasn't waking up any time soon.
"But she's been awake longer than many of the other subjects, so she might be out longer," I said, not sure how long she's going to be out. And when someone asked "so she's gonna be ok?" Looking over I saw JJ, and nodded "ya, but I'm not sure how long she's going to be out." But what I didn't say is, Leigh knows she trapped in a sleep she can't escape from.
I had to do some research on this chapter, but I think it turned out pretty good. What do you think?
