I DO NOT OWN CRIMINAL MINDS


Last Time

Reid looked...confused. Like he wasn't sure how to react. Rossi didn't mind, at least Reid had stopped staring at him with those damn terrified puppy eyes. Sighing to himself, Rossi settled back into the bench or whatever the hell they were called.

He had a feeling things were about to change for all of them, but he couldn't decide if it was for the better or worse.


Chapter Three: Don't Hide

The moment they were at the local hospital Rossi found himself sitting in the waiting room with no recollection of getting there. All he could really focus on at the moment was staring down at his hands as he sat in the most uncomfortable plastic chair he's every been in.

He had no idea how long he sat there waiting for news on Reid's condition. It startled him. He was the newest member (so to speak) on the team and at first he didn't really give a damn about teamwork or even being a part of the team, but now here he was in the hospital so worried for the youngest team member that he was scared he'd while up with entirely bald hair or bald by the end of the night.

"Dr. Reid?"

Rossi's head snapped up to stare at the female doctor standing just a few feet away. Standing quickly, Rossi realized she was awaiting a response. "I'm David Rossi. I mean I'm here for Spencer Reid."

The Doctor stared at him skeptically as she asked, "Are you related to Dr. Reid? Only family and those on his medical list are allowed in at the moment."

"Ma'am I am family." Rossi said politely, but that didn't stop the glare from being sent at the Doctor.

"...I'm really only supposed to inform family...there's a Diana Reid on our list and a William Reid but no David Rossi."

"His mothers in a mental hospital and his dad's out of the damn picture!" Rossi snapped, normally he'd try smooth talking but he was still unnerved from earlier.

"I..." The Doctor bit her lip and sighed, "Alright. My names Dr. Shane. The injuries Dr. Reid received were worrying to say the least. Not only were four of his ribs bruised and two cracked but there are signs of multiple blows to the head which is the cause for Dr. Reid's concussion. He has a fracture in his arm, The forearm contains two bones called the Radius and the Ulna, Dr. Reid's Ulna is fractured. Both extend from the elbow to the wrist but the Ulna is on the same side as his pinky. Dr. Reid is awake, and he's already told me everything that's happened. Or he wrote it down actually."

Pausing quickly for breath, Dr. Shane went on, "There will definitely be some swelling, and his movement in that are will be limited, he refuses any type of pain medicine I've offered other than the non-narcotic kind. We will be putting a cast around his forearm and in about six weeks he can come in to get it removed. Afterwards it could take up to six months of rehabilitation exercises for him to rebuild muscles and his strength in his arm. He also has some nasty bruises around his wrists, neck and hips."

"His hips?" Rossi echoed his mind flashing back to how he and Hotch had found the man straddling Reid in that alleyway.

"There are no signs of rape if that is what you're thinking Mr. Rossi." Dr. Shane said quickly but calmly.

When Rossi nodded showing that he had heard what she's said, she continued speaking,

"The bruises around his neck, more specifically the hand bruises around his neck are the worse ones other than the ones on his ribs. So don't worry if he doesn't speak to you right away or to anyone really. It might be best for him to have soft foods, something easy on the throat and doesn't take much effort in chewing. He'll need to ice all the bruises to reduce swelling, I'll write a list of everything that needs to be done and what to watch out for."

"R-Right." Rossi nodded, overwhelmed by the sudden spew of information, "You said he's awake? May I see him?"

"He's specifically requested that no one may visit him Mr. Rossi." Dr. Shane sighed, "I'll tell him yo were here, but despite telling you of his condition I cannot allow you to see him unless he wishes for you too."

"What?" Rossi said frowning, "He was just jumped!"

"I'm aware of what's happened, and I assure you he is as well."

"The-"

"No means no Mr. Rossi." Dr. Shane said sternly, "Now I'm sorry, but have a nice night."

Rossi could only watch as Dr. Shane walked off before he could say anything else, sighing he turned and walked down the hallway to go outside. Stepping out into the suddenly colder air Rossi pulled out his cell. He knew what he had to do.

He had to call Hotch.
