Dead Man Walking-Ch 24
After what seemed like hours JJ looked up and saw a doctor walking toward them, she stood up as he said, "Spencer Reid"?, JJ said, "I'm his wife and this is our family". The doctor said, "my name is Damien Price and I'm your husbands doctor", JJ said, "how is he, when can I see him"?, Damien said, "he's going to be fine, if the bullet would have been a quarter of an inch to the left it would have sliced his artery in half".
Hotch said, "so you're saying that he's out of danger"?, Damien nodded his head and said, "yes he's out of danger and to answer your other question right now he's in recovery and he'll be there for a few hours before we move him to his room". Penelope said, "is their any way that Jayje can see him now"?, Damien said, "I don't" and Penelope said, "please"?, Damien said, "this isn't hospital policy but okay, follow me Mrs. Reid".
JJ hugged Penelope and said, "thank you Garcie", she smiled and said, "tell him we love him", JJ nodded her head and said, "I will" and then blew out a deep breath as she followed the doctor down the hall toward the recovery room ad Reid. Derek walked over and wrapped his arms around Penelope and kissed the side of her neck and said, "are you sure that you and the baby are alright"?, she sighed and said, "we're fine handsome, we're fine".
Dave looked at Hotch and said, "now what"?, Hotch said, "well we have his 3 friends so that means that Lynch is going to have to come after us himself, well unless he is able to find more people stupid enough to do his bidding". Penelope said, "Reid almost got killed because of Kevins hatred for me", Derek said, "but he didn't and Reid and the rest of us we're a family and we love you and this little one and we'll do anything that it takes to make sure that you're safe",
Hotch said, "he's right Garcia", Dave said, "that he is kitten, that he is", they turned around to see Emily and Matt walking through the ER doors and heading straight over to them. Emily said, "any word"?, Derek said, "he's going to be okay, Jayje is in with him now", Emily and Matt sighed in relief and Dave said, "did the locals arrest our friends"?, Matt said, "yeah they're out of commission but what are we going to do about Lynch"?, Hotch looked at his family and said, "this is what we're going to do" and then leaned in and started explaining his idea.
In recovery JJ walked over to Reids bedside and took his hand in hers, she brought it to her lips and kissed it and said, "I love you so much Spence" as she sat down beside his bed beside his bed. As tears streamed down her cheeks she said, "I almost lost you, I can't lose you, not now, not ever".
She watched as his eyes fluttered open and he weakly smiled and said, "I love you to Jayje", she looked down at him and said, "hello my love" as she leaned down and gently brushed her lips against his. He said "is Garcia and the baby okay"?, JJ nodded her head and said, "they're fine Spence and everybody sends their love".
Reid said, "I'm sorry", she said, "sorry, sorry for what"?, he said, "for making all of you worry", she kissed his forehead and said, "it's okay just please don't make a habit of it". He grinned and said, "no promises Jayje no promises", JJ said, "close your eyes and get some sleep, I'll be here when you wake up", he nodded his head and slowly closed his eyes.
Across town Kevin said, "no, no, no, this can't be happening, she won't win, she can't win", he hit himself in the head and said, "think Kevin think, what are you going to do now"?, he thought for a few minutes and then smiled and picked his cell phone up off of the table and dialed a number and after a few rings he heard a voice say, "hello".
Kevin said, "Zach it's me, it's Kevin", Zach said, "wellllllll long time so see Kevin", Kevin said, "do you remember that favor you owe me, wellllllllll I'm calling it in and I need it now, today". Zach said, "what do you want me to do"?, Kevin smiled and said, "now this is what I need you to do" and Zach listened as Kevin started telling him exactly what he needed.
