Dead Man Walking-Ch 26
Zach grabbed what he needed and took a deep breath before walking out of the medication room, he still couldn't believe that he was being made to do this, to actually kill somebody. Inside Reids room he looked up at Penelope and said, "I'm so tired", she said, "of course you are, you need to rest".
She looked up to see a male nurse walk into the room and said, "but how can you rest when you're in a hospital and people are always poking you" as Zach smiled at her and looked down at the medication and syringe in his hands. Penelope looks at Zach and says, "he had his meds an hour ago".
Zach says, "these are post op antibiotics", Penelope says, "yeah he had those too", Reid raised his head and said, "which ones" and he glanced at the bottle with the meds and said, "Carbonacillin no that's not right I have I have a severe reaction to betalactums", Zach looks in his chart and says, "well it's not in your chart" and starts readying the meds.
Reid and Penelope look at him and Reid starts pulling the IV tube from his arm saying, "what are you doing" and knocks the syringe out of Zachs hand and as he leans over to pick up the syringe Reid sees a gun sticking out of the back of the mans pants and says, "Garcia he has a gun".
She reaches over onto the table beside Reids bed and nervously takes the gun out of the bag and aims it at the nurse and as he raises back up he pulls his gun from the back of his pants and aims it. Before Zach can pull the trigger a very nervous Penelope Garcia pulls the trigger hitting Zach in the shoulder/chest and her and Reid watch as his body hits the floor.
After what seems like forever Penelope looks up to see her noir hero running up the hall with his gun aimed and ready, he runs into the room and sees a man laying on the floor with several nurses working on him. He looks up and sees that his baby girl is standing beside Reids bed shaking and mumbling.
Penelope watches the people working on the man beside Reids bed in the floor and watches her hotstuff cuff the man before she says, "h h he's moving, he's moving". She takes a deep breath and said, "loud, I never realized how loud that was, my heart feels like it's going to come out of my chest", Reid breathlessly reaches up and takes the gun out of her hands and lays it down on the bed and then looks up at her.

Penelope says, "can that happen, can your heart burst out of your chest"?, she kept babbling and said, "and what's with this ringing, my ears don't pop for like a week after I fly and if this is like that I will go bonkers". She worriedly looks at Reid and says, "am I yelling because it feels like I might be yelling".
Reid looks up at her and says, "you saved my life", her mouth flies open and he says, "can you hear me"?, she nods her head and says, "yeah I heard that, it makes it better". She smiles and says, "thank you for saying it" and Reid says, "thank you for doing it", she says, "uh huh" and he pulls her into a hug and she says , "okay, you're okay", as Morgan looks up smiling knowing that his baby girl and pretty boy are both safe.
Penelope looks at Derek and said, "what are you doing here, I thought you were going with the others to look for Kevin", Derek pulled her into his arms and said, "I was but then I got a feeling that you were in danger, everything seemed to fall into place to fast so I turned around and came back".
Derek looked down at Reid and said ,"you okay pretty boy"?, Reid relaxed on the pillows and looked up smiling and said, "I am, she saved me, she was amazing". Derek kissed the top of Penelopes head and said, "that's my girl", Penelope grinned and looked up to see JJ and Luke running up the hall toward Reids room.
JJ said, "what the hell happened"? and Reid took Penelopes hand in his and said, "Garcia saved me" and everybody listened as he filled them in on what happened and how Garcia had saved his life. Meanwhile a few miles away Kevin sat shaking his head as a news bulletin scrolled on the bottom of the screen talking about how a nurse was shot at the hospital.
He stood up and said, "if you want something done right you have to do it yourself", he smiled and said, "I'm coming for you plum sauce, I'm coming" as he grabbed a gun and shoved it into the back of his pants and headed out the door.
