Chapter 26- Will you marry me?

It began with a breakthrough- the unsub had killed another person in the night (Thomas Wilson, aged 23), but had left DNA evidence at the scene of the crime. The CSIs attached to the case had managed to get a name from the DNA- a Patricia Smith- a 19 year old student at the college, who's 23 year old brother had died in a car accident 14 days prior to the first death.

Of course, the team of FBI agents rushed out to her house, in order to arrest her before she could kill any more people. They were hoping that she would surrender easily, and go with them quietly.

However, as I said before, life does not go according to plan.

Patricia was having a psychotic break… She thought that the men she killed were her brother, and was killing them because she thought that he had come back to life in order to haunt her. However, Thomas had put up a fight against her, cutting her arm with the knife that was later used to behead him.

Morgan had kicked down the door, and yelled out.

"Patricia Smith, FBI. Come quietly!"

What happened next was a mass of bullets and confusion. Patricia pulled out a gun, and fired a bullet at the cops randomly, causing the 6 or so cops pulling their own triggers- each on fatally wounding her.

However, Patricia's bullet had gone through a gap in Spencer's bullet proof armour, and had lodged itself dangerously close to the nearest vital organ.

Spencer fell down to the ground, red liquid pouring out of the wound on onto the wooden panels. At once, shouts of call the medic filled the air, and an ambulance quickly arrived at Patricia's apartment, and two medics had quickly got Spencer out of the apartment, and towards the hospital.

Meanwhile, back in Quantico, Lightning was sitting at her desk, finishing off her paperwork, when her phone rang.

"Hello?" Lightning asked.

The caller replied, "Hello. You are Lightning, girlfriend of Spencer Reid?"

"Yes, I am. Why are you calling me?" Lightning asked.

"We're the Hospital in North Carolina." The caller answered, "Spencer Reid got shot whilst on a case. He lost quite a bit of blood, and he requires a blood transfusion, but he is going to live."

"What!?" Lightning yelled, "Is he ok?"

The caller replied, "He's not on narcotics, but he is alright and he isn't complaining about being in pain."

Lightning frowned, "I'm going to ask if I can get leave of work, and I'll try to get to Raleigh hospital as soon as possible."

The call ended, and Lightning walked slowly to her superior's office, and knocked slowly at the door.

"Hello?" Her boss asked, as she walked in.

"Spencer got shot whilst on a case…" Lightning began formally.

The boss finished, "And you want to go and visit him? Of course you can! After all, you are dating him and everything."

Lightning walked out of her office, and towards Spencer's car, before unlocking it and beginning the four hour drive to Quantico.

Meanwhile, Spencer had finally arrived at the hospital, and was quickly taken to one of the hospital's room, before he was quickly put on the list of those needing a blood transfusion.

After several hours, blood was finally transfused into his system, and then he was hooked up to IVs, and he was recovering in his hospital bed, when Lightning finally arrived at the hospital and rushed to his hospital room.

"Spencer! Are you alright!?" Lightning asked frantically, rushing towards Spencer's bed.

"I'm ok." Spencer smiled, "I'm not going to die, or anything. Is my messenger bag there?"

Lightning was confused, "Yes, why?"

"Can you go and pick up the bag, and go into the front left hand pouch?" Spencer answered with a question, and Lightning did as he requested, before finding a light blue jewellery box.

"Do you need the box?" Lightning inquired, and Spencer nodded, so Lightning gave Spencer the box, before Spencer opened it, and smiled.

"Lightning, or Claire Ferron. Ever since I've met you, you have been one of the most important people in my life, and now I am ready to spend the rest of my life with you. Lightning, will you do me the honours of marrying me?" Spencer asked, with tears in his eyes, which left Lightning speechless.

"Yes… Spencer. Yes. I will do you the honours of marrying you. You're sweet, smart and you are chivalrous, and you are important in my life as well." Lightning cried, leaning towards Spencer, before kissing him on the cheek. Then, she put the ring on her finger.

"Can we come in?" Hotch asked, "Hello, Lightning, what are you doing here?"

"I drove all the way from Quantico once I heard that Spencer had been shot." Lightning admitted.

That's when JJ gasped, "That's an engagement ring. Spencer, when did you buy the ring and when did you propose to her?"

"I brought the ring last night, and proposed 4 minutes ago. She said yes." Spencer replied, a smile growing on his face.

That's when they all erupted, everyone giving them their congratulations and their salutations, before they left the two of them together.

"I love you." Spencer smiled, "I'm so happy that you said yes."

Lightning smiled back, "I am happy that you asked."

Just then a nurse entered the room, "Spencer Reid. Tomorrow, you'll be alright to return home."

Spencer and Lightning smiled again, before kissing each other for a second time.
