Slowly the team began to show up at the hospital. First Rossi and Emily walked into the waiting room and found Hotch. Emily rushed to his side and asked, "We got here as quick as soon as we heard. How are they?"

Hotch replied, "Physically they are… okay. Morgan has been released. He needed a few moments to himself. I haven't heard anything on Reid, but his injuries weren't life threatening. Mentally, I don't know what the future holds for the both of them. It was bad."

Rossi's face screwed up in disgust before asking, "Do we even want to know what he did to them?"

"Not only that, but I don't know how to tell you. Morgan was forced into intercourse with Reid, several times. They were both undressed and shackled to a bed. The un-sub kept a gun pointed at them."

"Oh my God!" Emily exclaimed.

Rossi merely allowed the reality of the situation sink in before asking, "Where is Morgan at?"

"He's just down the hall around the corner. He's not handling this at all." Hotch was interrupted by JJ and Garcia bursting into the room. Garcia crying out, "Tell me they are okay!"

"Garcia they are fine. Morgan has been released. In fact, I need you to go to him. He's down the hall just a bit, and upset over this ordeal. I need for you to stay with him and get him to tell you about what happened. Make sure that he's not blaming himself to a great extent. JJ, as soon as Reid is released, I'd like you to do the same for him. I don't want to tell you what happened. They need someone who won't judge them."

Garcia stood and nodded her head before rushing out of the room. She found Morgan down the hall sitting on his heels, face in his hands and tears hitting the floor. She hunched down next to him placing her arms around him. "Oh Derek what happened to you?"

Morgan leaned into her hug and let his sobs overwhelm him. Garcia continued to hold on to him to try and bring comfort. After a few minutes Morgan began to calm and Garcia said, "Derek, tell me what happened. What's got you this worked up?"

Morgan stilled at her question before shaking his head. "No. No. No."

He burst out of her arms and stood up. He started to pace in front of Garcia before continuing his chant, "No. No. No."

Staying still and close to the ground Garcia asked, "No what, Derek? Talk to me. You are scaring me here. Are you going into shock?"

With a cold stare he replied, "Wouldn't you after what I have done?"

He turned and began to leave the hospital. Garcia began to run after him calling, "Derek stop. Talk to me. What have you done? I don't know anything. All Hotch told me was that it wasn't your fault."

Morgan paused and turned. "Not my fault? It wasn't my fault that I got an erection when I realized that my body and Reid's were naked and touching? It's not my fault that I touched him? It's not my fault that I penetrated him? It's not my fault that I fucked him while tears ran down his face? It's not my fault that I was so deep inside of Reid when I came over and over again? It's not my fault that my semen and his blood came pouring out of his body every time? Baby girl how do you expect me to believe that those things are not my fault?"

Morgan was once again broken down on the floor. Garcia once again had her arms around him. "No, Derek, it wasn't your fault. You did what you had to do to survive. You held off the un-sub long enough for Hotch to find you. You hear me? This is not your fault and no one is blaming you."

"But I blame myself. I became the abuser. I did the one thing that I swore I would never do. I would never subject anyone to the things that I went through with Carl Buford."

"You were subjected to abuse to Derek. You will get through this. We will get you through this. Let me take you home, okay? We'll have someone call us when there's news on Reid."

Derek nodded his head and Garcia helped him stand. She said, "I'm going to go tell Hotch we are leaving. Emily and Rossi are here too, do you want to see them?"

"No. I can't face anyone right now. I'll wait for you right outside the doors."

Garcia nodded and walked back to the waiting room where the rest of her team sat. Hotch stood as she entered. No one spoke for a long while. Finally Hotch asked, "Did he talk to you?"

Garcia nodded her head and replied, "Yeah, a little bit. The un-sub forced him onto Reid, didn't he?"

"I'm afraid so."

"He's really torn up by this. Is Reid okay?"

"Reid is trying to push this all away right now. JJ is with him and is going to take him home. We are just waiting for him to be released."

"Okay, I'm going to take Derek home... Are they going to be okay?"

"I don't know… Penelope, if you need anything… if anything happens, you call me, understand?"

"Yes sir. I will."
