AN: Here we are at chapter 21. Depending on how this chapter runs, this may be the last chapter of this story. If it is, never fear, I plan on writing another one (it would basically be a continuation of story of my OC…just felt like breaking it up a little bit).

Everybody was at the hospital. That waiting room had never been so full. From the FBI there were a number of people. Hotch, Rossi, JJ, Prentiss, Reid, Garcia, Morgan, Chief Strauss, and the director. Then you had both NCIS teams. Gibbs, Tony, McGee, Ziva, Ducky, Hetti, Director Vance, Callen, Sam, Deeks, Kensi. As if all those people weren't enough you also had six out of the 'Lucky 7', those that were still alive-Immogene, Ivory, Cossette, Oona, Zahir, and Lakshmi. Some of them had their own injuries, mainly scratches, and a couple busted lips…nothing that couldn't be fixed with a couple stitches or some band-aids. None of them had taken the time to go home and clean up….they all still had the grime of battle on them. Rachel had been patched up and still sat with her clothes soaked in her mother's blood. She wasn't looking at anybody, she wasn't really speaking, she was just lost in her own thoughts. She wasn't in shock as much as just thinking.

The twins had been taken by one of the older children to a children's waiting room to color and play to keep them away from the misery around the adults. Neither child wanted to leave; Sofie, of course put up the worst of the fights. Emma, calm and stoic as ever just stated she didn't want to leave her mommy as big fat tears rolled down her little cheeks. They were the saddest sight, to be sure.

Gibbs had brought in Yuri and his three children. They were being checked out. Ziva had gone with the girls, Sasha and Eva, and explained to them about the sexual assault kit that they wanted to run, just as a precaution. Both girls understood. They cooperated fully although they didn't care for it; they understood why it was needed. They were much more cooperative than their mother. According to their preliminary tests, doctors concluded that the girls had been unharmed, mostly. They still had to wait on the results from the sexual assault kits. Oleg, Alecta's son had been in a few fights.

Yuri had a rougher time of it while they were held by the Vahid (Rasputin) and the traffickers. He was beaten numerous times, and he had been permanently blinded.

Alecta was still in surgery, they were trying to stitch up the stab wounds and close up the puncture to one of her lungs. And once that was done there was still a good chance she would be unconscious for a while, she still had that massive head wound from being hit with that pipe. As far as doctors could tell she had been stabbed up to 25 times, in rapid succession. The surgeon in charge of her care had come out of the O.R. at nearly two hours in to give the low down about what was going on. During his run down of her injuries and what they were doing to fix them, Reid got a call to his cell phone and stepped away to take that. After a few quick moments he closed his phone and came back to the group and spoke quietly to the FBI director. The director stood and walked with Reid, without saying a word to any of the remaining team members. Rossi was watching them closely, curious.

"What do you think that could be about?"

Rossi looked at Prentiss as if she had voiced the very question in his own head.

"Yeah, no joke. The kid is usually so talkative when he's nervous or upset about something and yet he's strangely quiet."

"Well he's been like this since the warehouse; with any luck it'll be over soon and he'll just tell us what he's up to."

"It better be damned soon, we have enough to worry about without him wondering off."

"Rossi…"JJ tried to calm him down, but he just got up and stepped away, walking over to a window to look out as far as he could see.

"Let him go JJ." Hotch shook his head at her.

Garcia never stopped pacing.

"Baby girl, at least take those heels off for crying out loud, you gonna turn the linoleum into Swiss cheese otherwise."

Without even arguing, Garcia pulled off her heels and handed them to Derek who took them and sat them in the chair beside of him. Not even missing a beat, Garcia went back to pacing.

Mac and Kong were simply looking at the floor, daring it to move out from under them. Immogene was sitting in a chair with her knees pulled to her chest; her feet were resting on the edge of her seat. She had laid her head down on her knees and was just staring at nothing. All the six girls were so quiet….it was like they were afraid to make a sound, that all of their energy was focused on making Alecta better.

Kevin was sitting beside his daughter, holding her hand, stroking it. This had to be a strange time for him. Finally having Alecta back in his life after about 25 years, meeting the daughter he never really knew before…but now this, possibly loosing Alecta all over again. Hotch was glad he wasn't in Kevin's position right now. Oh, he had been several years ago, when Hailey was killed. That nearly did him in. And there was a part of Hotch that could tell you word for word, second by second, what Kevin was feeling…but there was a part of Hotch that was also unsure of what Kevin was going through…that kept him from reaching out to the man as he probably should. He knew that when he went through his time, he got so tired of people pandering to him. 'I can't imagine what you must be going through'. 'God never gives you more than you can handle'. Hotch had gotten so tired of hearing all of that he could scream. Maybe it was right, maybe God didn't give you more than you could handle. But there were still the odd days when Hotch thought maybe God thought to highly of him….and he was certain that was a thought running through Kevin's head as well. The only thing working to Kevin's favor right now was the fact that Rachel was old enough to understand everything around her, and unlike with Jack, you didn't have to sugar coat things for her.

Morgan was busy trying to calm Garcia down. She was beside herself. One of the immortals was dead. Another was in surgery to save her life. To Garcia and the rest of the girls in the society the world was a colder, deader place than it had been less than 24 hours ago. Ivory didn't even make the comment that they should have blown something up. She could have, there had been plenty of opportunity for it. But she had remained quiet on the subject. Zahir and Lakshmi were each holding their Agnes medallions in their hands, having taken the chains from around their necks to concentrate on the pendants. There were a few various religious odds and ends hanging from their chains as well; most of these had to do with the old Gods. An ankh of Isis, eye of Horus, you name it. Cossette had Alecta's chain, it had been taken off during the ambulance ride and handed to Hotch; Hotch had given it to Cossette. Alecta's chain had a figure of Anubis and a symbol for Ares, God of war. And of course the generations old medallion that was given to her by Impatiev.

"Damn! Impatiev, nobody has called him yet." Hotch spoke the words aloud.

"No worries love, he has an eye on everything; he knows already. It is likely someone will be here by morning, or the next day."

In just a few more minutes Reid came back with the director, there was a tall blonde haired woman walking between them. She wasn't as tall as Reid or the director, but she was taller than Alecta. Nobody on the team could figure who she was.

"Kevin, who is she?" Prentiss thought to ask first. Without Alecta there, he was the only person that stood a chance of knowing.

"That's…but no…she died…she's…"

"Come on boy, spit it out. Who is she?" Rossi had come back around after hearing the new bit of conversation.

Walking up to the group, the woman spoke for herself, 'Calm down Kevin, deep breaths. Sir, I am Rachel King; Alecta's mother."

There was a collective gasp from the others, and then it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

POST AN: How d'ya like me now? I figured that was as good a place as any to stop this chapter. Next chapter there will be more with her mother, and wee bit more about Yuri and the kids…but I wanted sooo badly to spring this on ya'll. Until next time.
