"Agent Hotchner?"

"Yes Doctor"

"As you have seen for yourself Agent Reid has taken a turn for the worst, we are hoping that his body will start to fight."

"What exactly is he hooked up to?"

"Ah yes I was about to get to that, I figured that you should at least know what everything is and how it works"

The doctor led Hotch over to JJ, Rossi, Morgan and Garcia who were already in Reid's room.

"This right here are leads that hook up to the cardiac monitors; this shows the electrical activity of the heart. This right here on his finger is a pulse oximeter which measures the saturation of oxygen in the blood. This going into his neck is a Swan-Ganz catheter, this tool measures how much fluid is filling the heart and it shows us how well the heart is functioning."

"Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this to us it really means a lot" Garcia said

"No problem. Anyways this tube going into his chest is called a central venous catheter or CVC this administers his medication and any other products he might need, this also measures the amount of fluid in his vessels. This tube going into his nose is a feeding tube which is giving him all the nutrients he needs to try and fight this thing. Lastly this is an endotracheal tube and this is used when a patient can't breathe on his or her own."

"Thank you doctor" Hotch said

"Again anytime. Oh agent Hotchner would I be able to talk to you outside for a moment?"

So Hotch and the doctor left the room to go and discuss matters outside of Reid's room.

"When we discovered that your agent had been given the medication he was allergic to we also found a substance not like anything we have seen before."

"Is that what's been shutting down his body?"

"That's what we think we have contacted the CDC to try and get there insight as to what we might be dealing with"

"My team and I cannot thank you enough for everything that you are doing"

"If it helps catch the bastard that did this then I am willing to a whole hell of a lot more"

Hotch was now following another doctor to go and check on Blake, when he got to her room he was pleased to see that she was awake.

"Hotch, thanks" Blake said

"Well if you hadn't been quick to think of using your cell phone we would have never gotten to you in time. You were quite beat up."

"The hell with my safety. How's Reid?"

"Not good, the doctor said if I can get you in a wheelchair that you can come down to see him in ICU."

"How bad is not good exactly?" Blake asked

"Well he is hooked up to everything under the sun because when the UNSUB injected him with the medication it was laced with another substance any of the doctors have ever seen. They are attempting to evaluate it now."

"You know it's funny, if Reid were here he would have had this case cracked in no time"

"Trust me; it would be greatly appreciated if he would wake up at some time"
