Reid ran out of the parking garage just in time to see the white van speeding off. He listened to the conversation between Rossi, Garcia, and Prentiss. They were notified about a carjacking, and automatically knew it was Lynch and his daughter.
When Matt, Luke, and Rossi ran off, Reid noticed that JJ hadn't checked in yet. He immediately pressed the button on his mic. "JJ?" No response. "JJ, what's your location?" He started to panic. "JJ?!" After still not getting a response, Reid ran into the parking garage, through the entrance he knew JJ had used.
Spencer's heart stopped when he saw JJ lying on the ground… in a pool of her own blood. He quickly covered the distance between them and dropped down at her side. "It's okay. I've got you." He placed his hand over JJ's wound, on her side, to stop the bleeding. She was already coughing up blood. Reid pressed the button on his mic again. "JJ's down, she's been hit! We need an ambulance, now!" He then turned back to JJ. "You're going to be okay. Just stay with me, Jennifer."
Reid was terrified. JJ was losing way too much blood. He could tell she was having a hard time keeping her eyes open. "Stay with me, JJ. You have to keep your eyes open. I know you're in pain, and you're tired, but you have to keep your eyes open. You are so strong, you have to fight." Reid's voice cracked, and he felt tears welling up in his eyes. He knew JJ was in so much pain.
JJ tried to speak, but no words came out.
"No, JJ. Don't try to speak. Save your breath. Just focus on your breathing." Reid could hear the sirens approaching. "You hear that? They're almost here."
Rossi ran into the garage and crouched down next to Reid and JJ. He exchanged a worried glance with Reid. "Paramedics are arriving now. Matt and Luke went to the carjacking sight."
Reid only nodded, keeping his attention on the blonde, as she was barely conscious. Any other time, Reid's mind would be filled with statistics on her condition, but right now, all he could think about was losing his best friend.
The ambulance pulled into the parking garage, and came screeching to a halt several feet from the agents. As the paramedics jumped out, Rossi pulled Reid away from JJ, but he only moved back enough to give them room.
The paramedics immediately got to work, and Reid answered all of their questions about JJ's injuries, and what happened. He then turned to Rossi, as JJ was loaded into the ambulance. "I'm going with her."
Rossi nodded. "Keep us posted."
"I will." With that, Reid climbed into the back of the ambulance and grabbed JJ's hand, though she was already unconscious. He didn't let go until they arrived at the hospital seven minutes later. He followed closely behind the stretcher as they wheeled her into the ER.
Doctors and nurses were waiting for the agent, and they quickly hooked her up to a heart monitor.
Suddenly, Reid heard two words that made his blood run cold.
"She's crashing!"
Reid watched in horror as they charged the defibrillators. His eyes filled with tears as JJ's small form was shocked back to life.
"She's back."
Spencer let out a breath that he didn't realize he was holding.
One of the doctors approached him. "Are you her husband?"
He stuttered before replying. "Uh, no. He's not here yet." He knew Emily would have already gotten in touch with Will by now.
"He better get here quick." She walked away without another word.
Reid's breath hitched, and he finally let a few tears fall. There was a strong possibility that he was going to lose JJ.
