Last Chapter: Sword of Science

Reid didn't know why but he felt pangs of sorrow for the man in front of his eyes. The professor was just another victim like all the other clones, like the Hotch's clone. Professor knew nothing of life, of family, of love and his passion, his science was all to be ended today for humanity's sake. He did nothing wrong in exploring the danger world of DNA. How many more people will they stop after him? No one ever could stop the progression of science for too long, no authoritative churches, cult groups or governments in the past could.

"So how are you going to stop the clones now" Rossi interrupted all the thoughts going on in Reid's mind.

"I need the approval first" Professor replied.

"We called in the media for you, now it's your turn to show us something" Rossi spoke harshly.

"So Dr. Reid..."Professor ignored Rossi and shifted back to glaring at Reid "You killed the Hotch's clone, where are your ethics now...shouldn't you be arrested for murder here".

"Stop the clones now-" Rossi yelled.

"Hypocrisy! That's what I hate...this society. You all are two faced! But I thought Dr. Reid you were different" Professor saddened and continued to ignore Rossi, all the media personnel and now the SWAT Members watched his melodrama.

"Last chance!" Rossi yelled louder.

"Dr. Savonski, you made the clone evil in nature, he did had Hotch's DNA, but he wasn't anything like him. You altered him into a criminal and he got what he deserved.." Reid spoke "please call off all your clones".

"I cannot do that. I need my approval" Professor replied calmly. Rossi glared back at the clock across the wall, ticking. The danger on the streets was still destroying lives. Reid had come up with a theory before they got here. He proposed that somehow all clones are connected back to the professor and they work according to his command. Hotch's clone communication with the professor indicated some connection. Rossi was tired beyond reason. He wanted to end all this and rush to the hospital to finally meet the real Hotch. The professor had enough time to play with them all for a long time. The rebellious vibes from the professor were enough for Rossi to forget all the protocols. He closed his eyes and released the trigger on his gun, firing directly at the professor. All bodies in the room trembled at the sudden shock. Rossi fired again and this time the professor stumbled a little and fell backwards.

The room was too silent, everyone stood still and shocked. Reid gasped as Professor fell on the couch behind.

"All clear" Rossi yelled while lowering his weapon. Reid couldn't believe how Rossi dared to deviate from their plan. They needed to arrest the professor alive and here few taunts outplayed Rossi's calmness. Suddenly, few members rushed to the lifeless body and Rossi stepped out. Reid didn't know why his eyes were wet. He was sad at this end. He remained there until the body was transported out. Emily placed her hand on his shoulder and he quickly wiped any reminisce of his sorrow off his face. She understood it was hard to see world's most brilliant minds going astray. Reid tried to pull a smile for her. Together they stepped out and returned to their vehicle. Rossi was chatting on his phone with a big smirk.

"Good news fellows" He spoke ending his call.

"Reid you were right...the clones are falling down in the city. They were connected to the professor. In few minutes, we will be rid of them all" Rossi patted him. Emily and others exhaled in relief and happiness.

So, Reid had won after all. He figured out the one thing that Professor thought was his key to success in this mission. He severed the connection just in time and left standing as the victorious one. Did this make him even more smarter than the professor? Reid wondered.

It took Hotch few days to regain his consciousness back. When he finally did open his eyes, he saw faces beaming right at him, of his son, of Haley's sister, of his team. His eyes were heavy and it felt like he was sleeping for centuries. He tried to smile a little.

"Daddy's awake!" Jack exclaimed cheerfully and Hotch's senses went on overdrive. A load of happiness fell on him like thunder. He was safe, he was alive and his son was waiting for him. Hotch forget how much he was hurting. He started to rise up from his bed. He wanted to hug his son and feel alive again.

"Jaa-cck" Hotch managed to mumble and Jack jumped up to hug his father. Hotch wrapped his arms around his little world as tears flushed out from his eyes. He swayed back and forth with happiness. Before his blurry vision, he saw Emily, Morgan and Reid standing like warriors. He could feel their love from this distance and smiled more. He loved them all and this was all he now ever wanted. Rossi patted his back. Garcia cheered in response.

"Group hug everyone...lets join in!" Garcia exclaimed. Everyone moved forward to unite as a family.

"Pretty boy, what shampoo do you use?" Morgan whispered in Reid's ear while joining the hug. Reid just shyly smiled in return.

The lab burned for days, engulfing everything with it. After the ashes were examined, they found the lab had no traces of any research paper or any other cloning practicing agents. It seemed like the professor vanished everything. His secrets were hidden away somewhere far, where no government could control it.. The government tried everything to hide his existence, claiming all the clone chaos event to be a terrorist force. No one got to know that those criminals were clones and not part of a terrorist organization, no one except the FBI. Professor may have been killed and buried under the earth. But, he had conquered death long before anyone else. He may be dead to Rossi or the world in fact. But somewhere far in remote lands, in another lab, with other clone workers, a new scientist was being cloned, with same old DNA set, a new body was nearly prepared to step into the world, to repeat the past again, to avenge his death. No one could really kill Dr. Savonski ever.
