EPILOGUE - Redemption&Hope: David Rossi

After being in the hospital for the past three weeks, David Rossi was feeling much better. Today - he was going home to be with his family and friends.

Dave was sitting on his bed when Erin and Hotch came into room # 317.

Hotch: Good morning Dave - how are you feeling? How did physical therapy go today?

David: My last one with Pete - thank goodness! I am doing well and looking forward to going home and seeing everybody, especially the young boys: Henry and Jack.

Erin: All set Davie - I filled out the forms and now you are a "free man." We are just waiting for your wheelchair.

Dave: Erin - I am fine, I can walk - damn it!

Hotch: Sorry Dave - hospital policy. Now - let's get you home! Ready?

David and Erin nodded and headed out to the car to begin David's well deserved recovery from his horrible ordeal.
