Chapter Three

The same Hospital.

Reid was in the same freaking Hospital and none of them knew.

Garcia let out a hollow chuckle that was so unlike her, if any of her teammates had heard then they would've been worried.

The only reason why she even knew Reid was in the was Hospital as Hotch was because on her way to Hotch's room she overheard some doctor and a nurse talking about their patient "Dr. Reid," it took a lot of convincing for Garcia to get Dr. Smith that she really was a co-worker of Reid's and it took even longer for her to actually get information on how her Junior J-Man was doing.

That was how she found out he wasn't okay and was still in the Hospital for another day or two.

It was also how she found out that Reid might end up needing surgery, and the chances of regaining mobility weren't exactly in his favor.

Choking back a sob Garcia locked herself in one of the stalls in the lady's restroom. She had asked Dr. Smith if she could visit Reid but was told he was having last minute X-Rays done. She started openly crying when she realized for the past three days Spencer was alone and in pain. She felt horrible when she realized not once did she try to call him to see how he was or as far as she knew none of the others tried calling him after he called JJ and told her he was fine. Sniffling, Garcia wiped away her tears and tried but failed to fix her smeared make-up before deciding to just wash it all off.

"Get it together..." Garcia muttered staring at her reflection in the mirror, "Hotch and Reid need you to be strong, crying isn't going to do them any good."

Since she couldn't visit Reid just yet, she'll stick to the original plans and visit Hotch for a few hours before checking if Reid could have visitor's yet.

All she had to do is pretend she never heard anything and act like everything was fine when she see Hotch. Easy.

Smiling Garcia walked into Hotch's room and before she could even say a word, Hotch spoke up,

"What's wrong?"

"W-What?" Garcia laughed nervously, "Nothing's wrong!"

"Garcia." Hotch said sternly his eyes narrowing in on her.

"I-I..." Blinking rapidly Garcia sunk down into the chair by Hotch's bed and put her head in her hands.

"Garcia?" Garcia felt Hotch lay a hand on he shoulder, trying to comfort her, but that only made her feel even worse.

"I'm a terrible, horrible friend..." Garcia mumbled, "All of us are. He's been right here all along..."

"Garcia what are you talking about?" Hotch shifted so he was facing her fully, he had a feeling he wouldn't like what he was about to hear.

Garcia gasped and her hands flew up to cover her mouth as she realized what she almost let slip. "N-Nothing!"

As Garcia felt Hotch's well-known glare he used during interrogations on her she knew she had to tell him the truth, even if it upset the rest of the team.

"Well...u-uh...you see Sir," Garcia stuttered, "Reid'sinthesamehospitalasyouare?"

"What?" Hotch asked confused.

"I said," Garcia took a deep breath, "Reid's in the same hospital as you are..."

"What?" Hotch practically hissed, "Why is he in the hospital?!"

"W-Well..." Tears swelled up in Garcia's eyes, "He...was...he was shot during the last case..."

Silence.

Complete and utter silence.

Hotch didn't say a word, the look he sent Garcia spoke in volumes.

How disappointed he was and how angry he felt to have been kept in the dark.

"I-I'm sorry Sir..." Garcia whispered.

Hotch ran a hand down his face and Garcia just realized how...how tired he looked.

"Please call the others and let them know that I am not amused with this." Hotch started, "Tell them not to come here today or tomorrow I just...I need sometime to think alright?"

Hotch watched Garcia gather her stuff and leave his hospital room, he might've felt a bit bad about how he acted but he was angry. Reid is his subordinate not to mention a friend, Hotch had every right to know that he had gotten hurt on the last case.

Hitting the call button on the side of his bed, Hotch decided he needed to go see Reid, and figure out just what happened and how he got shot.

And why the team felt the need to keep it all a secret from him.

tannerrose5: Holy shite. He hurt his knee that badly? I knew it was bad and all but...dang. In the end I'm really glad he healed. The Winchester's are coming too Quantico [Reid's apartment actually] and they are going to be there for our boy unlike his turd-faced teammates, though I don't blame Hotch since he doesn't know yet. But yeah! Here's the next update, I hope it's up to your expectations.
