Please review! I'm really excited about this story.
Reid laid there, blood rushing in with the water. He heard faint distant voices shouting. Panic in the air. He could barely breathe, let alone move.
"Oh my God, someone call 911!"
He heard footsteps.
He saw feet sinking near the girl's body.
"She's dead!"
He felt fingers on his neck.
"This one is still alive!" The voice was male. He shuddered. He didn't like men now. "It's okay, kid. Can you hear me?" The man's voice was kind, but it didn't matter. He shuddered again. "We're gonna get you help."
The Ambulence and police cars created more noise. He heard the splashes of feet running on water. Far off formal voices. He saw feet surrounding him.
"It's going to be okay,son," said another voice. It was male again. He tensed.
He moaned when they turned him over shook when he was lifted onto the stretcher.
He panicked at the men grabbing his body. So many hands! No...no no this wasn't happening again.
He sobbed as he tried to fight them.
"Easy there son! It's okay! You have to stop fighting us! We're trying to help!"
"He's losing a lot of blood, we need to get him to the hospital fast."
Too many hands. Too many voices. He couldn't breathe. The fear controlled the pain.
No, no no. Don't touch me, please don't touch me.
Suddenly he felt something sharp in his neck.
Blackness greeted him like an old friend.
The others looked at each other, fear and worry in his eyes. The rest of the officers were placing the girl in the body bag.
"Do we have a name?" One asked a paramedic as they loaded Reid into the stretcher.
"They didn't take his wallet," the paramedic said and handed it to the officer.
The officer sighed and glanced at the sleeping Reid.
"He's so young," he mumbled. "So young."
"They both were," his partner said grimly.
The offiicer shook his head and brushed his bangs from his eyes. "Dr. Spencer Reid," he read and he looked surprised. "Works for the FBI..."
"A little young for the FBI don't you think?" The partner asked.
It started to rain harder.
"I should call his boss," the officer said, the ambulence had already gone. Both got into the cop car as the others followed the ambulence to the hosptial.
Hotch was straightening his desk as he heard Garcia and Morgan gossiping outside of it.
The name Reid floated in and out of their conversation.
"You guys talking about Reid againg?" He asked with a smile as he carried his briefcase while closing the door.
"I was just telling Morgan he probably panicked at the rain. Maybe even took Abi up to his place," Garcia said with a wink.
Hotch snorted.
"This is Reid you're talking about, you do remember that?"
"He's right, he probably dragged that poor girl to some boring museum or a convention somewhere," laughed Morgan. Hotch's cell phone rang.
"Agent Hotchner here."
They watched as his demeanor changed.
"Yes..I know him,and yes he works for me...why are you calling?"
More fear was painted on his face.
"Are you sure it's him? What...how...serious is it?"
Morgan and Garcia glanced at each other. When Hotch lost his composure like this this wasn't a good thing. Hotch had to grasp a nearby railing.
"I'll be right down there."
"Hotch?" Morgan asked isntantly. "What was that all about?"
Hotch swallowed and glanced at them.
"It was about Reid."
"What about him" Garcia asked, her mother hen inside of her going off.
"He...and the date he was on...both of them were ambushed and..."
Morgan closed his eyes and Garcia put her hand to her mouth.
"No..."
"It gets worse."
"Worse?" Morgan cried out.
"They were..."Hotch found it difficult to form the words. "They were gangraped."
Morgan felt vomit rise and Garcia pratically collapsed. He had to hold her.
"And they stabbed the girl to death..."
"No!" Garcia cried, tears spilling from her eyes. "Not Abi! No!"
"And Reid?" Morgan dared to ask.
"They also stabbed him, several times. He's...he's still alive...barely. He's in surgery now."
"No!" Garcia kept repeating. "No, no, this isn't happening!"
"Easy babygirl." Morgan hugged her as she sobbed onto his shoulder.
"Come on," he said to her and she nodded, her whole body shaking. "Let's go see Reid."
What's left of him anyway.
With all three in shock they headed down to the hospital unsure of what they would find and terrified that the Reid they knew would leave them forever...
