"Reid! Go find Emily and Ashley. I'll go to JJ and Penelope!" Morgan ordered. Before Reid even had a chance to answer him Morgan was crawling away, towards the door. Reid scrambled after him, wary of the bullets that were hitting the furniture on all sides of him.
When he made it out of the door he slammed it closed with the back of his foot, the door blocking the gunfire, or at least partially. He crawled after Morgan along the hallway until they came to the stairway and both men stood up, running up the stairs two at a time until Reid came to the door that led off the stairs towards Emily and Ashley's apartment.
He dropped down to his hands and knees as more gunfire sporadically came through their door, hitting the walls around him. When he actually made it to their door he faced a little issue. He'd have to raise his arm off of the floor to turn the handle and that made him an easier target. But then he remembered why he was there. Ashley and Emily were in there. He couldn't just carry on laying down on the floor, not knowing that every moment he spent feeling safer they were in danger in there.
Sighing he raised his hand as fast as he could and even though it was shaking out of near blind panic, he managed to turn the handle and shove it open. As soon as it opened he dropped his hand and went back to being the lowest to the ground he could be. As he crawled into the apartment he scanned everywhere he could see for the girls.
He saw Emily first. She was sat behind some of the kitchen cupboards, her gun tightly in her hand as splintered wood rocketed around her. Reid made it over to her, taking a second in the safe spot to catch his breath again. He opened his mouth to talk but Emily beat him to it.
"Ashley's in the other room. I got grazed and can't get over there." She told him. He then noticed the bleeding patch on her arm. Noticing that he was staring she quickly spoke again. "I'm fine. It's just a graze, I'll get over it."
He hesitated.
"Just go Reid." Emily snapped, it wasn't a hurtful snap, more of a 'if you don't go now I'll shove you into the gunfire myself' snap and Reid was used to those.
Somehow or another he made it across the room in fairly good time, he put it down to great feelings of adrenaline and panic at the bullets that were whizzing by so close to him. He thought about that for a moment. Bullets had been flying none stop for about the past six or seven minutes. That would mean whoever was shooting at them needed a pretty hefty supply of bullets.
The other room was in a fairly similar state, furniture with bullet holes in it, splinters flying along with the metal of the bullets. Then he saw the familiar blonde agent, crouched down, in between the wall and the far side of the bed.
There was no cover in between the door way Reid was standing in and where she was. He couldn't possibly try to get over there without getting hit by bullets. "Ashley?" He called.
"I'm fine Spencer!" She shouted back, looking up to meet his gaze. "Don't even think about-" Before she could finish and before he knew what he was doing he had crouched down and run over, taking cover beside her.
"Why did you do that? You could have been hit!"
"I don't know! I was right there anyway."
She sighed, but smiled. "I guess you're stuck with me till the bullets stop because there is no way on this earth I'm letting you run back across there. You don't have that much good luck twice in a row."
Don't get shot Reid! Reviews?
