Vacation Nightmare-Ch 12

Hotch jumped out of the SUV and went around to the back side passenger door and threw it open and stepped back as several doctors ran toward them, Melody was clinging to Reid screaming, "wake up daddy, pweaseeee wake up". Reid kissed the top of her head and said, "the doctors are going to help daddy, they are going to do everything they can to make daddy better".

The sniffling little girl looked up at him and said, "pomise"?, he kissed the end of her nose and said, "I promise", she buried her head in his neck and watched as the doctors rushed her daddy inside. Penelope and JJ pulled up in front of the hospital and practically flew inside, when Melody saw her mom she started squealing, "mommaaaaaaa mommaaaaa".

Reid put her down and she ran over and wrapped her arms around Penelopes neck, Penelope said, "ohhhhh baby are you alright"?, she nodded her head and said, "me awight momma but daddy hwrt". Penelope looked up at Reid and said, "how bad is it"?, he said, "she shot him in the shoulder and she poisioned him and that is making it extremely hard for him to breathe".

Penelope said, "poisioned, what about an antidote"?, JJ reached down and took Jamie and kissed the little baby and said, "hello little man", the baby started kicking his feet and cooing at her. Reid said, "according to Savannah she has the antidote and by the time we can get the antidote ready it will be to late to save him".

Hotch looked at Penelope and said, "they are doing everything they can for him", she said, "can you watch the kids, I need to see Derek", they nodded their heads as they watched her run over to the nurses station. The nurse looked up and said, "may I help you mam"? Penelope said, "my husband was just brought in and I need to see him".

The nurse said, "what's your husbands name"?, she said, "Derek Morgan, he was brought in with a gunshot wound and for poisioning", she said, "the doctors are working to stablize him right now mam". Penelope said, "please, please tell me how he is"?, she took a deep breath and said, "his O2 sat is low and he is having a lot of trouble breathing, they are trying to put him on the ventillator".

Penelope wiped away the tears and said, "I need to see him, please I need to see him", she said, "mam right now that isn't possible, they are working", she said,
"please, you don't understand, I need to see him". She nodded her head and said, "follow me". Penelope then followed the nurse up the hall toward the room the doctors were working on her husband.

The nurse looked at her and said, "wait here", she stood there watching as the nurse went inside and talked to the doctors, she watched the doctor nod his head yes that it was okay for her to come in. The nurse motioned for her to come inside, she slowly pushed the door open and rushed over to Dereks bedside, she then put her hand in his and said, "I love you, I love you".

The doctor said, "Mrs. Morgan the gunshot wound wasn't bad at all, it's been cleaned and dressed but what is worring us is the poisioning", she swallowed hard and said, "is there anything you can do for him"?, he said, "right now we are trying to find out what poision was used, until we know what was used we can't start work on the antidote".

She looked down at Derek and then back up at the doctor and said, "what are his chances"?, he shook his head and said, "not good I'm afraid, right now they are about 40% but that slips with each hour that goes by without the antidote". Penelope said, "how long will it take to get the blood results back"?, he said, "it will be a few hours, hours that your husband might not have left".

He put his hand on Penelopes shoulder and said, "unless we can get an antidote within the next 8 hours I'm afraid that", she said, "the woman that did this to him said that she had the antidote already". The doctor said, "then I suggest that you do anything that it takes to make sure you get that antidote and get it here fast".

Penelope then leaned down and kissed her husband on the forehead and said, "I love you, please keep fighting, please", she then turned and ran out of the room heading back toward the rest of her team. When she got to the waiting room she said, "Hotch I need a couple of favors", he nodded his head and said, "anything Garcia, anything".

She took a deep breath and said, "first I need you to get me in to see Savannah", he said, "are you sure"?, she said, "she had the antidote and I need to get it for Derek". He said, "consider it done", she smiled and he said, "what is the second thing you need"?, she looked around the room at her family and then said, "I need divorce papers and I need them fast".
