Buried Beneath Still Waters

Chapter 20

Reid Took Emily to Dr. Emery's office after she refused to go to the hospital. Ryan had made a phone call and the doctor was happy to take a look at her. Ryan was back to her cold attitude towards him. He wasn't sure what changed, if it was the case or if she was still mad at him. He thought he had gotten through to her. Even though he didn't talk to her about his feelings or explain why he did what he did. She had stayed behind with her department and Rossi, JJ and Garcia as Morgan and Hotch took Billy to Bath county Jail.

Dr. Emery didn't have his cheerful grin and Reid figured it was because of the late hour.

"I didn't realize the FBI had such clumsy agents. Put her on the exam table."

"I'm sorry doctor for calling you out at such a late hour." Reid was confused about Eugene Emery's attitude. As Emily sat on the table with her foot up and an ice pack resting on it the doctor fiddled with some supplies on the shelf. He clenched and flexed his right hand a few times, before shaking it as if it were asleep.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, yes I am fine. I do apologize." He smiled and Reid saw the kind man he met his first day at the cabin. "Miss Prentiss forgive me accidents do happen and I'm afraid I am just being a crotchety old man." He laughed and Emily smiled at him. He lifted the ice pack, repeated Hotch's request of wiggling her toes. He touched one very purple area and Emily winced.

"My dear I am not superman my vision is normal, although X-ray vision would come in handy." He chuckled and so did she. "I am afraid you will need to go to the hospital, I am 90% sure you broke your talus."

"Her foot?" Reid questioned.

"Yes even though the swelling is here, her pain is down here." He pressed again and Emily nearly jumped off the table.

"Reid, take me to the hospital and drop me off the team needs you." Emily was disgusted with this turn of events.

"Is something wrong?" Dr. Emery moved closer to Emily. He put his hand on her shoulder.

"We are not sure. But we think someone could have been kidnapped." Reid told the doctor.

"Oh then by all means doctor please go help you friends. I could take Miss Prentiss to the hospital."

"Yes Reid that is good. Are you sure?" Emily swung her legs over the table and sat up straight as she looked at the sweet man next to her. She wanted to jump down and get to work. That wasn't going to happen anytime soon. She couldn't keep Reid there too.

Dr Emery gave Emily two tablets and a cup of water. "That will help with the pain and the swelling. Uh Agent Prentiss…"

"Call me Emily please." She popped the pills in her mouth and swallowed the water.

"Oh alright Emily, I don't think it would be wise to take that." He nodded at the gun and added, "You won't be allowed to take it in with you when you get your x-ray and I am not comfortable with handling your weapon." He took the cup and threw it into the garbage can.

"Right, got it." Emily handed Reid her gun before Reid picked her up and carried her to Dr. Emery's car.

"Wow doctor that medicine is really helping I don't feel any pain." Emily's head lulled forward and she closed her eyes briefly. When she looked at the doctor he was gripping the steering wheel with his left hand only. The right one he clenched and released as if he was trying to work out a cramp. The medical examiners words came back to her and she thought of the demonstration she had done on Emily's arm. "Its you…" She said weakly. "What did you give me?" She felt herself sliding into unconsciousness. She tried to fight it but it was too difficult.

Reid made it all the way back to the station when something began to nag at him. He wasn't sure about it, all he knew was something wasn't right. He walked into the observation room. Rossi was there watching Hotch and Morgan question Billy Rapp Jr.

Rossi shook his head, "He's not our guy." Rossi took a good look at Reid, he seemed a mile away. "How's Emily?"

"Her foot is broken; she is on her way to the hospital."

Rossi looked at Reid puzzled.

"The doctor took her." An image of Eugene Emery clenching his fist flashed in Reid's mind. He ran from the room and Rossi followed.

"What is it?"

"I need the photos. The bruise pattern… Dr. Emery has weakness in his right hand."

"Reid, Emery is our unsub!"

"And he has Emily!" Reid finished Rossi's sentence.
