Chapter 11 We have him!

The hours passed by as Garcia traced Joseph Burns through Las Vegas. The team paced in the conference room of the police station that they were in and drank awful coffee without tasting it.

"Hotch! I got him. I know where Reid is." Garcia yelled "210 Palm Street. Go get him and stay safe, please."

"Finally, thank you baby girl." Morgan said as the team raced out the door to go and find Spencer Reid. The Team raced to the location that Garcia had given them with lights and sirens blaring.

"Mandy, do you hear that?" Reid said with hope.

"My hearing isn't the best today. What am I supposed to be hearing?" Dr Schaeffer said with a yawn.

"Dr Reid hears sirens." Joseph Burns said with a grin. "It's time for Spence and I to be alone, Mandy."

"What are you doing to her?" Spencer asked.

"I'm going to kill her before your team gets here." Joseph Burns retorted. He then grabbed Dr Schaeffer by the neck and squeezed until she stopped breathing. Just then the BAU stormed in and grabbed Joseph Burns, cuffed him and took him to a car waiting for him outside.

"You have to help Mandy." Dr Reid screamed. He was untied by Morgan and ran over to Dr Schaeffer. He immediately began CPR and yelled for an ambulance. "Morgan help me. Do compressions and I will breathe for her."

"You remember me?" Morgan asked.

"Yes I do now do compressions. She hasn't been breathing for only a few minutes. We can save her." Dr Reid shouted then began to give breath to Dr Schaeffer. It only took about two minutes but they seemed to last forever until Dr Schaeffer began breathing on her own. "Where is that ambulance?"

"Reid are you Ok? Morgan asked.

"Yes, I'm fine but Mandy isn't." Reid said.

"You can remember all of us." Morgan said with excitement.

"Yes I can. Where is that ambulance?" Reid asked.

"It's on it's way Reid. I have missed you pretty boy." Morgan mused.

"Yes Morgan, I have missed you too." Reid said with a smile. "I'm not going to be happy until I find out that what my brother did to Mandy isn't permanent and that she will be ok."

"Pretty boy has a crush." Morgan joked as the EMT's came into the room.

"You don't need to make fun of me Morgan." Reid said with a smile creeping onto his face. "Is she going to be ok?"

"It looks like there is no internal damage so I think that she should be ok agent." The EMT said.

"Thank god, she is going to be fine. Can I ride in with her?" Reid asked the EMT's.

"Yes agent. We need to look you over as well." The EMT answered.

Two weeks went by and the team decided to celebrate the return of Dr Reid with a party at Rossi's. Dr Schaeffer flew in just to be there. The wine was flowing and the conversation was bright.

"Dr Schaeffer, why didn't you tell me that you were in the FBI?" Hotch asked.

"Well I took a sabbatical a while ago. I never really thought about it when I was talking to you or your team." Dr Schaeffer said.

"You know we could really use a profiler like you." Hotch said. "Would you consider coming back to the FBI?"

"I guess it couldn't hurt to think about it. I was thinking about moving to DC to be near my brother." Dr Schaeffer said.

"Who knows, it could be fun."

This was my first story. I hope you enjoyed it. If I get some good comments I might write another one. Thanks!
