FINALLY! A NEW CHAPTER! Disclaimer: I do not own criminal minds, I only own Charlie!

...

A bang echoed throughout the Cliffside. He blinked once, twice, three times, his mind could barely comprehend what had just happened. His best friend, his partner, shot in the head. They had known each other for years, they even worked together! Shock washed through his brain as his friend's body slumped to the ground. He felt he could barely hold onto his gun any longer his fingers were so numb. His muscles started to tighten as a new emotion seeped into him, pure unadulterated rage. He so very wanted to kill, to get revenge. How could she do such a thing? How could she kill him? He wasn't doing anything wrong! HOW?

Suddenly the strangled coughing of his hostage brought him back to reality, as did the yelling of the FBI. He relaxed his arm and pushed Reid away from him. What was the point? Tyler figured that without Terrance there was no point. So as a last resort he put his gun to his head. Without Terrance there was no life. For the second time, a bang was heard throughout as Tyler shot himself in the head.

Charlie watched as the second body went down. Her gun was still smoking from when she shot Terrance in the head. She felt her hands shaking so terribly that she could no longer hold her gun. It slipped harmlessly through her fingers. The men she wished to be dead for so long were finally dead. Sadly all she felt was numb, she couldn't believe what had happened, her body and mind wouldn't let her. Her brain started to shut down and the world around her was spinning, just as her knees gave out arms caught her from behind.

"You okay?" The voice of Agent Rossi floated to her ears.

"Can you help me back to the SUV?" She asked quietly, almost innocently.

"Sure." He replied as he quickly shot a glance to where Morgan and Hotch were tending to Reid.

"Reid! Reid come on kid, wake up!" Morgan exclaimed as he held his sick friend in his arms. Hotch was standing above him with a concerned look. Ashley and JJ were off to the side, Seaver was making a call to the cops while JJ was crying.

"Morgan?" Reid muttered hoarsely. He opened his eyes, at first there were only black dots flashing everywhere, and then he saw Morgan's face.

"Thank god. Man you had us worried." Morgan said smiling. Reid may have been looking very worse for wear but at least he was alive.

Hotch was standing above him with a relieved smile on his face.

"How are you feeling?" Hotch asked him as he sat up with Morgan's help. Suddenly there were sirens heard in the distance.

"I feel... ugh." He explained. His head hurt, his chest hurt, his throat hurt, pretty much everything hurt.

"We should probably get you back to the hospital..." Morgan told him. Reid just nodded slowly, not exactly absorbing what had been said to him. His head had started lolling to his chest about halfway through the conversation, and his body had decided that it no longer wanted to sit up. The black dots were swarming his vision and finally they filled it up completely.

Morgan watched concerned as his friend slumped in his arms. His breathing was shallow and irregular and the team could only hope that he'd be okay.

The wailing of sirens soon drowned out every noise they heard. Two EMTs jumped from the back of the ambulance and went straight to Reid.

"How long as he been like this?" One asked Morgan as he helped his partner lift Reid onto the stretcher.

"He has been sick for about 6 days, but it had started well before we got here. Also he was being poisoned." Hotch told them seeing as Morgan was too busy being worried for Reid to hear anything.

"I'm riding with him." Morgan told Hotch. Hotch merely nodded and watched as Morgan climbed into the back of the ambulance after they had secured Reid inside.

More ambulances had showed up to take care of the 3 girls as well as a coroner for the 2 bodies. Hotch watched the flurry of action and soon noticed that Rossi was missing.

"Are you sure you're not hurt miss?" The idiot EMT asked Charlie for the "millionth" time.

"Yes! Jeez I just shot one of the men that had been haunting me for years and watched the other kill himself; I think I'm allowed to be a little shaken up." She snarled at him. He slowly backed up and ran off to his partner.

"You sure told him." Rossi muttered. He had to admit he was quite impressed with her strength. She kept her chin held high even after what she had just done and seen.

"Rossi." Hotch called from behind him. Rossi told Charlie he'd be right back and went off to talk with Hotch.

"How's Reid?" He asked after seeing not seeing him or Morgan.

"He's being taken back to the hospital as we speak, as are the other captives. They're about to go through some serious de-tox though." He said.

"Well we should probably go to the hospital for Reid then." Hotch nodded and told Seaver and JJ to take Charlie back to the station.

"No!" Charlie shouted, "I'm not going back until I know if those girls and your agent are alright. I know I shouldn't, but I feel guilty, I feel like it's my fault they were all kidnapped. So I am going with you." She stood firm and held her chin up. Her face screamed stubborn to the profilers and so they hesitantly agreed. The girls went in one car, the men in the other and they made their way to the hospital.

... I know it's been a while and I know this is a short chapter but I've been insanely busy failing school and having extreme writers block. Hopefully there will be two more chapters or maybe one, I'm not sure. Originally I was planning on making this the last chapter but it just doesn't feel right. I hope you enjoyed it and now you know I didn't abandon my story. Thanks to everyone who reviews and keeps a look out for HEADACHES.
