To say that Olivia freaked when the lights went out because of the storm would be an understatement. She pushed herself through her pain to get up and hide. She did not and would not allow herself to be kidnapped again. She got to the end of the hall way she was in with no problem but a little trouble breathing. She got to an elevator pushed a button when it stopped she knew that she couldn't go any further and pushed herself into a room. A supply closet she thought when she spotted the bin or whatever of towels there. She was thankful that there was a cart of towels that need to be folded she climbed in and covered herself with the towels completely except her mouth and nose so she could breath.
She was glad for the rest but could hear the nurses and doctors rushing to check on their patients and the claps of thunder from the storm raging outside the hospital. The glow from the lights duller than they normally; because they were running off of the generator powering the whole hospital. Her heart beat slowed as she was able to calm down. She knew that George probably hadn't found her again but she was too scared to move and she didn't want to cause herself more pain than she was already in. Not long after she climbed into the towels sleep took over her and her eyes drooped closed.
*CRIMINAL MINDS*
Reid's anger almost got him before Morgan made him sit down and wait to search until all the other patients were accounted for and his anger was in check. Reid did not like the idea but he couldn't go and look himself because Morgan was standing right next to him trying to get in touch with Garcia like he said he would but service was down.
"Reid; will you calm the hell down? She's fine she couldn't have gotten far AND George is not in the hospital. She probably freaked because of the blackout." Morgan said after hanging up his phone for the fifteenth time trying to call Garcia. He was getting annoyed because of no phone service and Reid's constant foot tapping.
"Sorry but this is probably like the tenth time I've been this close to finding her and if I miss her again I'll probably be in the same state as my mother after flying and that is not good." Reid replied the tapping of his foot getting more sporadic.
"I was there with the fisher king case." Morgan replied. "You hear about J.J's job offer?" Morgan asked trying to change the subject to a much calmer one.
"Yeah the second time she's gotten it. Strauss was just as angry about it. I think she still wants to break up the team."
"You are not the only one Reid. Everyone else including J.J. believes she wants the whole team disbanded." Morgan replied. "Not the BAU the team." He added as an afterthought.
"She'd get fired before that happened." Reid replied back as a nurse came walking up to him.
"Are you two the FBI agents?" she asked.
"Yes." Morgan and Reid both replied.
"Angelica told me to tell you that all the patients are accounted for except the Jane Doe you were here to see and that it is okay to start the search for her now."
"Okay where do we start?" Reid asked talking more to himself than Morgan.
"Let's check this floor first. Then you can go up and I'll go down and you can join me when you are done if we don't find her first." Morgan replied answering anyway.
Morgan went to the Westside of the hospital and Reid went to the Eastside of the hospital both hopping that the floor was the only one they would have to search but figured that would be highly unlikely. The only kept their flashlights out so they wouldn't freak out the patients. They were making quick work of the search. Reid because he wanted to find Olivia and Morgan because he wanted his best friend back and that would only happen if Olivia was found safe and sound.
Morgan finished in no time. "Reid all clear on my side; I'm heading down. I'm heading down to check I'll call you after each floor." He relayed to Reid.
"Got it. I'm on my way to check the last supply closet if she is not there I'll head up to look." Reid replied hanging up.
Frustrated he hadn't found Olivia yet Reid made his way to the bathroom first. He rubbed his eyes and splashed water on his face to calm himself down. He dried his hands and when back to check the last supply closet. He grabbed the door handle and turned it didn't budge. Dam Reid thought to himself. He wanted to punch the door or kick it open but decided against it because he would most likely break his foot or hand. Reid took out his phone and called Morgan. "Could you have someone come up and unlock supply closet C on Olivia's floor?"
"It's locked?" Morgan asked. Reid could hear the frustration in Morgan's voice.
"Yeah, I just don't know if it was the hospital or Olivia." Reid replied. "But I have to get in there to at least check."
"Wait right there I'll have security send someone. Don't do something stupid Spencer," Morgan clearly with a stern warning in his voice. For Reid sometimes it sucked having a friend as your boss also but they all dealt with that weather it was Hotch or Gideon or Morgan.
"Trust me I won't I would break my hand or foot if I did plus the other options are illegal."
"I don't want to know." Morgan replied trying to hold back his laughter surprised his friend could even joke a little at a time like this.
"Yeah whatever bye." Reid replied closing his phone and sitting on the floor. He had never been so exhausted after a case or anything before. Not even the Tobias case made him this tired.
It wasn't until an hour or so later that the hospital was able to find someone in their maintenance department that could unlock the door. The power outage had thrown them all in a whirl. The storm had started to let up a little so the lights started too flickered on and off. The janitor they had found didn't have a key that could unlock the door so they used a hammer to nock of the handle of the door to get in. Reid jump back as piece of the handle flew back at him.
The maintenance man mumbled a sorry as he backed away from the door to allow Reid to look in. In the room he saw shelves that held the everyday supplies for the hospital on the floor. "Hey Garcia?"
"Hey little one, are you two at the hospital yet?" Garcia asked.
"Yeah we arrived about an hour ago. The stormed caused Olivia to freak so we can't find her."
"What?"
"Easy Garcia we know she hasn't made it out of the hospital. I am actually waiting for the maintenances man to get here and unlock a supply closet so I can check it. Morgan is looking at the lower floors." Reid replied.
"Let me know what you find sugar."
Reid hung up with Garcia too look in the supply closet. There was also a bin of old towels that needed to be cleaned or folded. Remembering he too had hid himself in a bin months ago and told her about it. He ran to it and immediately dug through the bin of towels he had emptied the entire bin before he realized that no one was there in the bin.
*CRIMINAL MINDS*
Morgan had just gotten off the phone with Reid who said the supply closet was empty. He reminded Reid once again not to do something stupid. Morgan hoped they found her soon. He was just as frustrated as Reid. He was so agitated that if he had hair he would want to pull it out.
"Morgan!" he heard someone call after him. He was on his way to the sixth floor of the hospital.
"What?" he turned around to see Rossi and Hotch striding toward him.
"What's going on?" Hotch asked coming to a stop.
"Olivia is missing again. She hasn't left the hospital. I've checked every floor from the fourteenth to this one. Reid is checking the fifteenth and sixteenth floors. He's on the fifteenth now." Morgan replied.
"Where you headed?" Rossi asked.
"Down. She's not on this floor." Morgan replied taking the stairs. Rossi followed him while Hotch went to find Reid. "I've been checking the supply closets and empty rooms." He replied to Rossi before they got to the next floor. Rossi nodded and they both went separate directions and started searching which didn't take long because all but three of three of the rooms on the floor where taken up by patients. The supply closets where empty of any human bodies. They went to the next floor and the same thing. The first floor turned up nothing also. "Reid, Rossi and I are going to the sixteenth floor." Morgan told Reid in a text after they hopped into an elevator.
"Morgan I just finished the fifteenth floor so I'll be there also." Reid replied.
Morgan and Rossi got to the top floor before Reid. They started search but it took longer because the floor was being renovated and the rooms were vacant of anything but old supplies at the moment. The lights were still off on the floor because they weren't needed so guns and flashlights were out from all three agents as Reid had joined them.
It took them a particular long time looking through one room that had several bins of old sheets and blankets in there. It took a lot for Morgan to ignore the whites of Reid's knuckles around his gun because he gripped it tighter because of the disappointment of not finding Olivia again. "Reid we got more rooms to check. Come on." Rossi and Morgan both said while Morgan dragged Reid out of the room. "Don't make me go get Garcia." Moran added trying and failing to lighten the mood.
"uugh" they heard a voice say from another wing of the hospital floor.
"Shh did you hear that?" Rossi said.
"No." Reid and Morgan replied.
"uugh" they heard again.
"Now that I did hear." Reid replied as he listened for the voice again. He heard it again and ran toward it. He would stop every now and then pressing his ear to listen for sounds coming out of any of the rooms. It took awhile he found the room and barged into it. Thanking god that the door was unlocked this time.
There was a laundry bin in the room like the ones he's seen in others. It did not take long for Reid to find Olivia. She was just under a layer of towels in the bin. She had peaceful look on her face. It did not take long for Reid's relief of finding her disappeared when he noticed that she wasn't breathing. He pulled her out of the bin and checked for a pulse she had one but it was very weak.
"Morgan!" Reid hollered as loud as he could because he didn't know where Morgan was.
Morgan must have been right behind Reid because he was by Reid's side in less than a minute. He immediately kneeled down by Reid and felt for the pulse himself. He pulled out his phone and called Hotch "Get up to the sixteenth floor and bring a doctor and hurry." He said hanging up. "I've got to go tell Rossi."
"Garcia." Reid said.
"What about her?" Morgan asked.
"Tell her we found Olivia." Reid replied not moving to look at Morgan as he spoke.
"I will." Morgan replied.
