Dead Man Walking-Ch 25
Kevin was still in hiding when an emergency broadcast filled the room, he looked up to see JJ and Hotch standing in front of a podium talking in front of a huge group of people. He said, "well let's see what's happening here" as he turned up the volume on the television that was sitting on the end of the table.
JJ said, "my name is Jennifer Reid and this is Aaron Hotchner and we're with the FBI, the BAU, now we will be giving a brief message about an armed and dangerous suspect". She held the picture of Kevin up and said, "this is Kevin Lynch and he's wanted in the attempted murder of fellow FBI agent and my husband Spencer Reid and he's also wanted in the attack and attempter murder of my best friend Penelope Garcia".
Kevin laughed as JJ said, "we're asking for the public to please keep your eyes out for Kevin and if you see him please call the local police station and above all else please be safe, we can't afford for anybody else to get hurt in the process of finding Kevin". JJ and Hotch then nodded their heads and stepped away from the podium.
JJ looked at Hotch and said, "well how do you think that went"?, Derek looked at his friends as Hotch said, "Kevin is out to get attention so don't worry he'll show his face sooner or later but right now we need to focus on getting Reid better". JJ nodded her head yes in agreement as they turned around and headed back toward Spencers room to join the others.
Penelope was sitting by Reids bedside holding his hand, she said, "oh boy wonder I'm so sorry that this happened, it's all my fault, if only I hadn't gotten with Kevin, if only I hadn't agreed with this plan then you wouldn't be here right now". Derek walked over and put his hands on her shoulder and said, "sweetness this isn't your fault, this is all on Kevin and his warped mind".
Dave said, "he's right kitten but don't worry we're going to find Kevin and when we do he's going to pay and pay for the rest of his life and that's a promise", Penelope sighed and said, "I just hope that find him soon, so we can all get back to our lives", JJ and Hotch walked back into the room and JJ said, "don't worry Garcie we will, we will".
Penelope stood up and said, "here Jayje" as she moved to the side so JJ could have her seat, JJ said, "well the news briefing went good so hopefully Kevin was watching or maybe somebody will see him and call in and report it". Emily said, "I still can't believe that Kevin is behind all of this, he always seemed so sweet, I never thought that he'd ever hurt PG, not ever".
Derek said, "well he did and when I get my hands on him I'm going to ki"' and Penelope pulled him into her arms and said, "always my protector hotstuff" as she laid her head down on his chest. He kissed the top of her head and said, "always goddess, always" as he wrapped his arms tighter around her making her feel safe and loved.
About half an hour later Reids eyes fluttered open and JJ said, "hey Spence, how do you feel"?, he looked around the room at his friends and weakly smiled and said, "I'm really tired". Penelope said, "I'm so sorry Spencer", he looked up at her and said, "I want you to listen to me and listen good Garcia, this isn't your fault, what happened to me isn't your fault, if it weren't for you I would be dead right now, you saved me, you saved my life".
Penelope said, "you saved mine first, I love you Spencer", Reid grinned at her and said, "I love you to Garcia, you're like a sister to me and I would do anything to make sure you're safe". As he looked around the room he said, "we all would", Penelope sighed as everybody nodded their heads yes in agreement,
A few minutes later the team was talking to Reid when Hotchs cell started ringing, he pulled it from his side and said, "Hotchner", he said, "when" and a few seconds later he said, "thank you" and ended the call. JJ said, "something wrong"?, Hotch said, "we just got a call that said Kevin was spotted a few minutes away from here".
Derek kissed Penelope on the lips and said, "you stay here with Reid so I'll know you're safe", she said, "okay angel fish", Reid said, "Jayje go with them, go help the team I'm alright and Garcia will keep me company until you all get back". JJ said, "I don't want to leave you", he said, "the sooner you guys catch him the sooner we can go home".
JJ kissed her husband gently on the lips and said, "I love you", he said, "I love you to", JJ then looked at Penelope and said, "please take care of him for me". Penelope nodded her head and said, "I'll guard him with my life" as JJ wrapped her arms around her in a loving hug.
Penelope and Reid then watched as JJ and the rest of the team walked out of the room, from the other end of the hall Zach watched as everybody but Penelope and Reid left the room. He then pulled out his cell and dialed Kevin and said, "it worked, they're gone", Kevin laughed and said, "good now you know what you have to do", Zach nodded his head and blew out a deep breath and said, "I do" before ending the call.
After putting his cell back into his pocket he headed to the medication room their was a few things he was going to need before heading to Reids room, before he did the one thing he never thought he would ever do, kill another human being.
