I do not own Criminal Minds, blah blah blah, etc etc.

We're coming to an end on things I have fully completely written, but like I mentioned, things are all planned out to the end, so hopefully if I can't update every day, it will at least be in a timely manner! I don't like being 'left hanging' so I wouldn't want to do that to any one here :)

Emily Prentiss

As I looked around Kaila's room, I saw blood. Not a lot, but not a little either. Then I realized her IV drip was still in the room, and Kaila was not attached. She wasn't getting her fluids, and she wasn't getting any pain medicine. She was also losing blood, as direct pressure needs to be applied after taking out an IV, and it appeared Kaila had taken hers out herself, which would cause more damage. Her hospital gown was also laying on the bed, and the clothes she'd been admitted in were missing. They'd been in a big ziploc-type bag in the bathroom of her room, but when I checked, they were gone.

I ran out of the room, and stopped the first nurse I saw.

"Kaila Fisher in room 204 is missing," I stated. "There's blood. I don't know where she is."

"Missing? Are you sure?" The nurse asked me.

"Yes I am sure! She, or someone, pulled her IV out! Just alert everyone and get her name out, I'm going to look for her!" I told the woman, turning my attention solely on finding Kaila. I went back into her room for a moment to see if maybe there was a blood trail to follow. There wasn't much of one, but minimal blood lead me out of her room and down the hall to the left. This hospital had so many
floors, it would take me forever to search them all. I tried thinking back to the conversations I'd had with Kaila since she woke up, which surprisingly, was more than you'd think. I closed my eyes, and tried to remember every word said between us, envious for a moment of Reid, who had an eidetic memory. Then I remembered.

Kaila and I were watching something on TV. It was right before we decided to play Uno, before Maggie came in. Her main nurse, Janet, came in the room.

"Just coming to check on you," she said sweetly. "Do you need anything?" She asked Kaila, as she checked her IV drip, and checked the stitches on her stomach, and changed the bandage on Kaila's arm.

"No, I'm fine." Kaila said as she tried to sit up, but suddenly laid back down.

"It hurts to try to sit up," she said sadly.

"You'll need to be really, really careful." Janet said. "These stitches are going to take awhile to heal, if you move the wrong way you'll break them."

"When can I get up? I'm tired of laying here! I can only get up when you and Emily help me, but even then I can't go far." She complained.

"It'll be a couple more days, but even when you're discharged you'll have to take it easy." Janet said, patting Kaila's leg and leaving.

"I wanna go on a walk." She told me.

"We'll go another time, I promise. But I don't think you're up to it now." I told her.

"Fine," she agreed. "But when we do, can we go down to the nursery and see the babies? I think they're so sweet. I always wanted a little brother or sister. I was always jealous of those people who had one." Kaila told me. '"Once, when my mom was out of a job, our neighbors let her babysit their 6-month-old baby for them sometimes while they worked, and they paid her. After school, I'd walk from the bus to their house and help my mom." She was quiet for a few moments. "I miss her, a lot. I don't want to ever forget her. But the only way I can remember her is how I last saw her. Do you think if we go see the babies, I'll remember babysitting with her more, and I won't keep seeing her after she died?" Kaila asked me sweetly.

"I definitely think that's worth a try." I told her, smiling. "What do you say we do something fun, huh?" And that was when we started Uno.

I asked someone where the nursery was, it was a floor down. I made my way down as fast as I could. Once I reached the nursery, I saw Kaila. She was sitting in a chair, in front of the big window where you could see all the babies. Her clothes were covered in dried blood, her hair was tangled and matted to her face, she was holding her arm where the needle had been. She just looked pitiful.

I walked over and sat beside her, putting my hand on her shoulder. "Kaila, what are you doing out of bed?" I asked. "There's something you're not telling me, and I don't want to pressure you, but I can tell when something isn't right with someone. So if you need to talk, I'm here to listen." I said softly.

"Emily," was all she said, before she threw her arms around me, hugging me tightly. She began crying. I had no idea what was wrong, but I knew this was more than any nightmare. I tried soothing her as best I could.

"It's okay, sweetie. I'm here now. I won't leave you again. Not for anything. I promise you. Not if it's going to upset you like this." I whispered. She never said a word back to me, she just cried. The nurse I'd alerted walked up and saw us.

"You got her?" She mouthed. I mouthed "Yes, we're fine," back to her, and she walked away, hopefully telling everyone she'd told that Kaila was found and safe.

Once Kaila stopped crying, I said, "Honey, we need to go back to your room. You need to get back on your IV, and you need to rest. Will you come with me?" I said softly. She pulled away from the hug, and nodded her head. She stood up, and so did I. Then, she finally spoke.

"T-thank you," she said, her voice shaking. "Oh, no I think I got blood on your shirt. I'm so sorry." She said, looking at the floor.

"Oh it's alright," I said looking at my shirt, there was a little blood on my sleeve from where Kaila's arm was bleeding, but nothing to worry about. "That's hardly anything, don't even worry. When we get you settled back in your bed and all, we need to talk." I said. Kaila said nothing, turned around, and walked back to her room, with me right on her heels.
