Chapter 7
Hotch walked hurriedly towards the operation theater with JJ and Gideon right behind him. He was cursing to himself that how many times the young agent had gotten himself hospitalized during his three years in the BAU, from spraining his ankle by getting a coffee at the pantry in one of the field office to now being attacked by the unsub and pushed off the building. Luckily it was only three story high.
When they finally arrived at the operation theater, Morgan, Elle and Garcia were already waiting anxiously. Morgan had ride with Reid in the ambulance and informed them that Reid had lost consciousness on his way to the hospital. That's what worried Hotch as he was afraid that he might have a serious concussion.
It took another thirty minutes before a doctor came to them asking if they were here for Spencer Reid and they said "Yes" immediately. He informed them that other than a broken arm and a fractured leg there weren't any other serious damaged. Reid had some bruises on his body caused during his fall but those would recover in a couple of days.
"Can we see him?" Hotch asked.
"Yes you can but he might not regain conscious in another hour or so" the doctor replied.
Hotch thanked the doctor and the whole team proceed to Reid's room. They finally relaxed when they see the young man sleeping safely in the hospital bed. JJ and Elle offered to get the team some food and coffee while they wait for Reid to regain conscious.
The team was eating halfway when they heard Reid saying "Hmm can I have some coffee?"
"No you can't. Not after you scare us like that." Elle replied
"That's not fair! I didn't ask the unsub to attack me!" Reid exclaimed and the rest of them laughed.
"Reid you need plenty of rest and I don't see how you could after taking coffee that would keep you awake for hours." Hotch said.
"I guess we should leave now to let him have his rest. We will come back tomorrow Reid." Gideon said. With that everyone started to say good bye to Reid and leave the room.

The next morning Hotch arrived at the hospital early to check on Reid before going to the office. He was surprised to see Sean hovering around Reid to make sure that he was comfortable. There was a spread of food on the table and Sean was trying to feed Reid with the food he brought. Reid as usually was stubbornly arguing with Sean and refused to eat. Hotch suspected that Reid was protesting to be fed like a kid. However, after some coaxing from Sean he finally relented.
Hotch walked away not wanting to intrude the two young men though he was still unsure of their relationship. But deep down, he knew that he would not have any objection.
