Kit sat with Morgan and her sister in the waiting room of the emergency room waiting for any news on their brothers, her and Sammy had been sitting here for what seemed the longest time ever as the doctors continued to work on Lex. Sammy was still freaking out about what happened and Kit was trying her best to remain in calm and in control because her freaking out would not help anyone in the slightest. "Agent Swanson?"

"Yes." Kit replied as she stood up, it was the doctor she had spoken to when they had first had brought Lex in and hopefully he would tell them some kind of good news. "How's my brother."

"He's stable at the moment, he sustained a lot of injuries, a couple of broken ribs, lacerations, black eye but that's what we're worried about. Your brother took a serious head injury and has a depressed skull fracture and we need to do surgery to relieve the depressed skull fracture." The doctor said.

"Shit… how serious is it and the surgery? Will my brother survive the operation." Kit asked as now she really wanted to freak out as the doctor was telling her that her baby brother, the seventeen year old Lex needed brain surgery. Kit wasn't stupid, she knew that brain was very risky and she had seen enough medical programme's to know that thing sometimes never ended well.

The doctor took a breath and Kit could hear Morgan's voice in the back of her head as he tried comforting her sister. "It serious and like any surgery there are risks and possible complications but surgery is the only option here, we needed to relieve the pressure Agent Swanson. As your parents aren't here yet and you an adult sibling of Alexander you can give consent of the surgery–."

"–Katherine! Sammy!"

Kit looked and saw her stepfather running down the hallway followed by several agents who were on his protection detail and never in her life was she relieved to see Jack as much as she was now. When he reached them Sammy ran over to her father and hugged him. "What's happening? How's Alex."

"Lex is stable at the moment Jack, he's got a lot of injuries but they say he's fractured his skull and he need surgery to relieve the pressure it's putting on his brain. The doctor was just asking for consent…" Kit said as she saw how hard her stepfather was hit by her words, his face paled and she could see his Adam's apple bob up and down

"Save my son, do what ever you can." Jack told the doctor and with a small nod the doctor left them and moments after he turned to Kit as Sammy was obviously too distraught to say anything. "What happened?"

"I don't know Jack, Lex was mugged or something but Sammy wasn't with him and she didn't know what to do because he didn't want to go to the police or you and mom so they came to the BAU asking for my help and Lex was a mess and he clearly needed medical treatment. We brought him here and that's as much as I know." Kit said shakily and her stepfather motioned for her to come closer and when she did her hugged her whilst still hugging Sammy. After a moment Kit moved away and pointed to Morgan. "Jack this Agent Derek Morgan, he works with me at the BAU and he drove us here."

"Thank you for everything you've done for my family Agent Morgan, it means so much to me." Jack began.

"I was happy to hope Sir." Morgan replied. "I'm going to get some coffee, do any of you want some?"

Kit nodded and asked if Morgan could get her sister a soda as she clearly needed something to jolt her back from the shock that he was in. After her left she turned to her stepfather. "Have you spoken to mom? I didn't get to call everyone I had to get Rossi to call you, I called Gabe in the car and he's on his way and he called Maddy…"

"Your mother is on your way and she'll be here in ten minutes and I've had agents pick up Madeline for school. I don't know how long it will take for them to get here." Jack replied.

In less than an hour the rest of Kit's family were all here at the hospital, they were all handling the news differently. Maddy being the future doctor was rather positive about the whole thing and was spending the entire time comforting Sammy who was still upset. Gabriel was being unusually quiet and sombre about it all and spending his time with their mother who was the most distraught of all and Jack. The six of them were all there and for the first time ever not arguing or making fun of each other, they were there as a family waiting for news about their youngest member. They sat in relative silence until Kit looked up from where she was sitting and saw the rest of her team walking in. "Hotch… what are you all doing here?" Kit asked as she got up to meet them.

"We're taking your brother's case." Hotch said and Kit was surprised because this wasn't a case the team usually took but then again the victim wasn't the son of the director of the FBI.

Kit took a slow and baited and breath. "You think that this has something to with Jack?"

"Maybe and it might have something to do with you or it might be a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and has nothing to do with you and the director but we're taking a case. Hotch replied.

Nodding her head Kit lead the rest of the team to where her family were all sitting. "Well Rossi you already know everyone but for the rest of you this is my family. My stepfather Jack, my mother Cornelia, my brother Gabriel and my sisters Madeline and Samantha." Kit said before taking a deep breath and turning to address her family. "Everyone these are Agents Hotchner, Prentiss, Jareau, Dr. Reid and you all know Rossi. I work with them at the BAU, their going to be looking into what happened…"

"Director how's your son currently doing?" Hotch asked.

"We don't know they had to take him up to surgery over an hour ago, something about pressure on his brain. We won't know anything for a couple of hours…" Jack said.

"We're going to have to talk to all of you." Rossi began.

"Do you have to?" Kit's mother Cornelia asked.

Kit walked over to her mother and placed a comforting hand on their shoulder. "They have to mom it's just standard procedure, if we want to figure out what happened to Lex then we figure out how this happened and why it happened. Don't worry mom, there's nothing for you to worry about just answer their questions."

"Samantha if you'd like to come with me, I'd like to ask you a few questions." Emily began and the look on Sammy's face was that of pure horror.

"Can Kit come too…" she tearily began.

Moving away from her mother Kit made her way to where Sammy was sitting with Maddy and Kit bent down so she could look at her sister. "I can't come with you Sammy, but there's nothing for you to be scared about Emily is very good at her job and I trust her with my life just like everyone else who I work. She will take very good care of you but maybe my friend Spencer can come with you and Emily, perhaps he can show you a magic trick?" Kit began as she turned back to look at Reid who nodded.

"T-this is my fault Kit, I should have made Lex…" Sammy hiccupped.

"Hey this is not your fault Samantha, you did everything that you were supposed to do and no one blames you for anything and you shouldn't blame yourself either. You took care of Lex and you bought him to me because you knew he needed help." Kit assured her.

Sammy sniffled and wiped her face. "Your crying Kit, you rarely ever cry."

"It's because I hate seeing you so upset but just go with Emily and everything will work itself out. You know us Sammy we can't function properly unless something's going on." Kit replied as she stood up along with Sammy and hugged her before letting her leave with Emily and Reid. This day was only going to get harder.
