Let's get out of here.
Maddison POV
"Ah!" I screamed, looking around to see who got shot. Hotch was on the ground, his leg bleeding. I cried out for him, but he didn't acknowledge it. "Hotch!" I cried again.
"Focus on Maddie." He said, when both Rossi and Reid reached the room, shortly followed by Seaver, and bent down to see if he was okay.
"Drop the gun!" Yelled Rossi. "Now!"
"With pleasure." Ryan said in a sicking voice.
This time when he shot the gun, it skinned my right arm, before going into Hotch's leg again. As I cried out in both pain and worry, Morgan and Rossi tried to get a clear shot. However, it wasn't possible since Ryan was standing behind me some what.
"This isn't over." He said, only to me, before backing up.
I heard him drop the gun, and saw both Morgan and Rossi, move towards us, with theirs still raised.
"Against the wall!" Rossi hollered, pulling his cuffs out.
While Rossi, walked Ryan out, Morgan untied me, and Reid and Seaver made sure that Hotch were okay. Once I was free from the ropes, I ran towards Hotch, and slid across the floor, landing in front of him.
"Oh my god! Hotch I am so, so, so sorry!" I exclaimed, as Reid and Morgan helped him up. Seaver came around to help me up as well, but I declined.
We walked out of the house, Reid in the lead, followed by Morgan and Hotch, then me and Seaver. Once we got out side, we saw that most the cops were gone, along with Ryan. JJ quickly ran up to us, and asked if everyone was okay. Then Hotch and I got loaded into two ambulances. The ride to the hospital was a quick and loud one.
When we arrived and got inside, they said I would need stitches on my right arm, and would need all wounds cleaned. I could hear the other doctors and such talking about having to talk Hotch into surgery. I gave my boss one last look, before we were wheeled off into different directions.
About two and half hours later, both Hotch and I were laying side by side, in a double room. When they had wheeled him in, I pretended I was sleep. Simply out of the fact, I wasn't ready for his anger that I was sure was to come.
"Maddison, I know you're awake. No use in pretending." Hotch stated, in a calm voice.
Might as well get it over with. I thought was I rolled off of my left side, and on to my right. "Before you say anything, I just want you to know…"
"I'm proud of you." Hotch stated, interrupting me.
"…That I am so….What?" I asked, just catching on what he had said. "You're proud?" I asked completely shocked and surprised.
"Yes. I am." He answered. "Not many people would have gone in a situation like that, and come out, unbattered." He continued, when I gave him a blank stare.
"But I disobeyed your rules. Got caught by a unsub, got you shot, not to mention, what happened to me." I said fading out towards the end of the sentence.
"True. But I don't think he would have gotten another victim if it wasn't you." He said earning another blank glare. "The first victims were he ex-girlfriends." He explained.
"So he killed them? Why?" I asked still not clued into who this guy was, or how Garcia made any connection.
"Because, they reminded him of you. The one person he wasn't lucky enough to have." He said with a sincere smile, though it wasn't happy, but sad.
"But…"
"Hey you guys. The doctors, say they're keeping you both over night. But tomorrow afternoon, you'll be able to get out." Morgan said, as he and the team except Garcia, walked into the room.
"How's your leg?" Rossi asked Hotch, walking towards his bed, and sitting in the chair by the wall.
"It's been better. They say I'll be able to walk in a couple of months. So you'll all be in the field in the meantime." He said smiling.
"How are you doing?" Asked JJ as she sat in a chair next to my bed.
Reid stayed standing against the wall in between both of the beds, Morgan sat next to him, in a chair. While Seaver sat next to JJ in the other chair.
"Honestly? I'm fine." I said. "Excuse me?"
I slipped out of the bed, glad the doctors had agreed to let my wear scrubs rather then the gown. I walked to the bathroom, and closed the door behind myself.
"Strange." I heard Reid say from the other side of the door.
"What?" Asked Morgan first.
"Something seems off." He replied. "But I can't tell what. You'd think she'd be happy his gone and this is finally over." He said.
Hotch's POV
"She doesn't know" I said, keeping my voice lower then the rest of the team.
"What?" Asked Rossi. "How could she not know?" He asked.
"I don't know. We were talking about it before you guys entered." I replied.
"So she has no idea who he was?" Asked JJ, completely stunned.
"No. And I think it should stay that way." I ordered, just as Maddison came back out.
"You guys can stay, but I'm tired. So I'm going to sleep." She said, shuffling a yawn, and climbing back into the bed.
At first, I was wondering if she was just avoiding us or something, but then it dawned on me, that she was probably trying to sleep early, before the team came in. A few minutes later, the team left to wrap the case up, leaving us to rest.
Once they were out of the room, I laid back fully, and closed my eyes. I had started to fall asleep, when the nurse came in to check one us. And make sure we were okay. She started to touch Maddison, when she freaked and jumped.
"Oh god, sorry." She apologized, once she realized it was the nurse.
"It's alright dear." The nursed said, giving Maddison a warm smile.
She started to explain what she needed, while she did it. So that Maddison wouldn't freak again. Once she was done with Maddison, she came over to my side of the room, and made sure everything was correct, before wishing us both a good night, and leaving.
Once she was gone, I rolled on to my right, and watched the girl in the other bed. I had fallen asleep sometime later, whilst looking at her.
Maddison's POV
"Good morning." stated Hotch, from the other side of the room.
I mumbled some kind of response, when the nurse came in followed by our team.
"You're both free to go, when you're all checked out." She said smiling at us.
"Thank you." Hotch said, while I just mumbled some more.
"Someone's not a morning person. No wonder you hardly talk at work." Joked Morgan.
But instead of answering him, I just faked a smile, and pushed my way into the bathroom. Luckily, the doctors had given the nurses some toothbrushes, of sort. They were more of something some one would use to freshen breathe after a meal like Lunch. Rather then a full toothbrush.
Since they didn't work all to good, I ended up using about three, before changing, and exiting the room. I walked over to the bed, and sat down. Hotch excused his self, and limped towards the bathroom.
"Well, you'll go get you checked out, and meet you both in the front." Stated Rossi, as he and the others headed the door.
"Morgan you might want to stay, Hotch might need help again." I said, knowing he was the strongest of the team.
"Alright, well I'll just wait outside." He said, as they all exited.
A few moments later, I heard something coming from the restroom. I ran to the door, and knocked. Well more like banged on it.
"Hotch! Are you okay?" I asked through the wood.
"Not really, I fell." He answered back, with a intake of sharp breath.
"Can you at least get up?" I asked.
"No." He replied.
"Oh…okay… hold on." I replied, as I went to the hallway. "Morgan, Hotch needs up." I explained.
Morgan rushed back into the room, throwing the bathroom door open, and sliding in.
I heard Morgan talking to Hotch while he helped him get up off the floor. When Morgan came back out, he closed the door again.
"Thanks." I said, avoiding his gaze.
"Maddie." He said simply, waiting for a reply. "It's not your fault he got shot you know." He continued, when I didn't say anything.
"Isn't it though Morgan? If I had just listened, he wouldn't be in this hell." I said, trying to keep my voice down but failing.
"Compared to what you went though, I don't think Hotch is any worst. We all saw the tape…"
"What! No! Please, tell me…Shit!" I exclaimed, having my worst nightmare come true. "No please no!" I threw myself on the bed, just as Hotch came out.
"Maddie girl it's alright, we've all been there before. Once or twice." Morgan said. "Standing up, and getting smacked isn't that bad."
The fact he said, tape and smack, rather then torture, made me realize that maybe he hadn't seen the horrible tape. The one that was mostly black. Which I was thankful for. Maybe Ryan didn't send it to my team after all.
"It's not, but still." I said, not laying on the fact that I was freaking out because of the second tape that was made. Not the first one that he was talking about.
"We ready?" Hotch asked, finally saying something, to change the subject.
"Yeah, I am if you both are." Morgan said.
"Let's just get out of this god forsaken hell." I said, jumping off the hospital bed, and being the first to walk out of the room.
I could hear Hotch and Morgan whispering behind me, as I lead the way to the front. Once we reached the waiting slash lobby area, we walked up to the front desk. We got the clear to go, and walked out side.
The rest of the team, were already in the vehicles. Rossi jumped out, and opened the doors for us. Morgan helped Hotch into the front, while I jump in the back and slid across the seat. So Morgan could jump in and we could get moving.
"Morgan." Rossi started to say, before muting his voice a little bit, so Hotch and I couldn't hear.
I saw Morgan nod, and then close the door, before walking away. I was confused about the whole thing, while Rossi jumped in and started the car again. Once we were moving, Hotch broke the silence, by being the first to speak.
"What was that about?" He asked, looking at the older man.
"Maddison, we need to know what happened to you on the other tape. The one that was mostly black." Rossi said, ignoring Hotch completely.
"Nothing, I was punished for not saying hello to you." I said, giving most of the truth.
Truth being, all that happened was everything time I didn't kiss him back, I got either smacked, or cut. And when I didn't respond the right way, to him being sexual, I got the same treatment. Which was something I rather have receive then what he was offering.
"Did he do anything sexual with you during that time?" He continued to ask me.
"Not in that sense. His clothes stayed on."
"And yours?" asked Hotch, finally looking at me.
I quickly turned my head, and looked out the window. "No." I said, barely a whisper.
The rest of the ride to the Hotel was silent. We pulled up, jumped out, and went to the elevator in pure silence. Rossi decided to take the stairs. Leaving Hotch and me alone. Great. Not.
"Maddie, I need to know exactly what happened." He said the minute the doors were closed.
"Nothing, just touch. That's it I swear." I said, avoiding his eyes completely.
He reached out, and grabbed my chin. Forcing me to look at him. "You can tell me anything. And you don't need to worry about being judge or anything like that. You know that right?" He said, in a soft voice, looking at me in the eye.
"Yes." I said having to remind myself, to breath.
"Good." he replied, letting go of my chin, and stepping back again, just as we stopped and the doors opened again.
Okay I think I've milked it long enough. I kinda wanted to keep milking it, but I decided it was time to post. Hope you enjoy it. I might continue this, or make a sequal. I haven't quite decided yet. But I will be going though all the chapters and making sure the spelling and such is right, before continueing any longer. but I don't know when I'll do that yet. So again enjoy, and R&R please and thanks, and I'll see you guys in time to come.
