Suddenly he raised his gun again and 2 shots rung out.

"EMILY!" JJ screamed as she ran over to Emily.

The UnSub had managed to shoot Emily in the chest, before JJ put a bullet in his brain.

"Call an ambulance! NOW!" Hotch ordered, while Rossi arrested Steve.

Morgan was already with his phone to his ear.

"Emily, Emily!" JJ said, her tears were now falling freely.

But Emily didn't seem to respond.

She checked for a pulse. It was weak, but it was there.

"Hotch, where is that ambulance?!" JJ screamed.

Hotch was about to respond, when two paramedics came rushing in with a stretcher.

"Please step away, ma'am." The paramedics said to JJ.

Morgan helped JJ and pulled her into his arms, where she cried.

Right now, JJ didn't care who saw her crying, she was downright terrified. She was about to lose the love of her life, and there was nothing she could do about it.


"Morgan, call Garcia and tell her what's going on." Hotch said, as they were all sitting in the waiting room.

"Alright." Morgan said, whipping out his phone to make the call.

"Well hello chocolate thunder God, what can I do for you?" Garcia's happy voice could be heard on the other end of the line and it hurt Morgan's heart knowing that he was about to shatter that happiness.

"Garcia?" Morgan started, not knowing how he should tell her this.

"What's wrong?" Her tone immediately became a worried one.

"Garcia, something happened, baby girl." Morgan said, trying to break the news softly.

"What's wrong? What happened? Please tell me, Derek!" Garcia said, getting more worried every second that passed.

"Baby girl, Emily was shot." Morgan said.

There was silence on the other end.

"Penelope? Are you okay?" Morgan asked concerned.

"Is-Is she going to be okay?" Garcia asked, and Morgan could immediately tell that she was crying.

"I don't know, they haven't told us anything yet. We've been here for over an hour, but she's still in surgery." Morgan said.

"What can I do? Please tell me if there is something I can do, I mean, I-" She was cut off by Morgan.

"Penelope, listen. There is nothing we can do right now. The only thing we can do is hope that she is going to be okay. It's up to the doctors to do the rest." Morgan said.

"Do you think she is going to be okay?" Garcia asked, the tears still obvious in her voice.

"I think that Emily is strong and she can fight this. If I know Emily, which I do, she is going to be up on her feet in no time, you'll see." Morgan tried to calm Garcia.

"I hope so, Derek. I really do." Garcia said.

'Me too' Derek thought to himself.

"Well, I have to go check and see if she's out of surgery yet. I'll call you as soon as I know something." Morgan said.

"Promise?" Garcia asked.

"I promise, baby girl." Morgan promised.

"Okay, bye." Garcia said.

"Bye." Morgan said before hanging up.


He returned to the waiting room, where the rest of the team were.

"Hey." Morgan said.

"How did she take it?" Reid asked referring to Garcia.

"Well, its Garcia, how do you think she took it?" Morgan said sighing.

Everyone else in the room sighed. This was affecting everyone. Emily was family, they all were one big family.

Rossi was pacing, Reid had his head in his hands, Hotch was trying not to show his emotions, and JJ, well JJ was a mess, to be honest. She had blood all over her hands and shirt, her eyes were red and puffy from crying and she looked like she was somewhere else in her mind.

Suddenly they all heard the words they had been waiting to hear for hours.

"Family of Emily Prentiss?"
