Chapter 21

I don't own Criminal minds.

"Please god. Don't let my baby girl die! Please," Morgan preyed although there were tears streaming from his eyes "Don't worry. She is strong! If she wasn't she would have died by now. You stay here Morgan. Me and Hotch will help search for Reid, Blake and JJ and JJ's son. We found Hotch's son and Garcia I am sure we can find everyone else!" Rossi said.

"She will wake up soon. You should be there as you two are an item!" Hotch whispered in Morgan's ear. Morgan didn't care what anyone was saying he just wanted Garcia to be ok. Nothing more, nothing less. Hotch and Rossi left the hospital hoping to find other members of the team alive. They couldn't face another loss.

I was still no closer to food or water. It had been at least twelve hours. The sky was turning a dark blue and the only things lighting it was white dots called stars. I was getting desperate. I knew soon if I didn't get any water I would die. I didn't want to die here. I wanted people to find me, to help me! I knew people wouldn't randomly be walking in the middle of the desert but that was the only little bit of hope I had. I hoped my team would have helicopters overhead, people searching for me on foot and by car. I hoped someone would find me before I died. That way I could say goodbye!

Morgan sat next to Garcia's bed. She still hadn't woken up and the doctors said that he should get some rest but Morgan had to be there when she woke up. He just had to. She was quite peaceful when she slept. Her hair was a bit messy but he didn't mind. He thought about the horrors she must have went through. He knew she would never quite be the same as she was but he was going to stick with her. No matter what happened! She was perfect for him. Morgan just held her hand while he was praying for her to be fine and wake up. He couldn't live if she died. He had nothing else to live for if she died. Garcia was his world! Suddenly Morgan felt his hand being squeezed. "Baby girl don't worry I am here now. I will make sure nothing will happen to you. You are in the hospital. The doctors said it was a miracle that you survived. You were severely dehydrated and starving. I don't want to ask you any questions about what they did to you but I think once Hotch and Rossi hear you have woken up. They will rush down here and probably ask you some questions. Do you want anything?" Morgan's mouth was moving at a pace of 100 words a minute. He was so happy and pleased she had woken up but he was weary of what to say in case anything upset her. "What happened when I passed out on the shore between the lake and the forest?" Morgan looked down and started to speak "An elderly man who was walking his dog found you about 7 PM and called the police because he thought you were dead and someone had dumped you there. But you weren't dead so the ambulance took you here and put you on morphine and a saline drip. They sorted out your gun shot and saw you had some bruising so made sure that was sorted out. They thought there might be a chance that he sexually assaulted you so when the nurse comes around, she might ask if you want to take a pregnancy test. Ok?"

"How long was I gone?" Garcia questioned

"You were gone about 5 days." Morgan answered.

"Hello, I assume you are Miss Garcia's relative?" A nurse asked "Yeah you could sort of say that. I am Miss Garcia's boyfriend. Call me Derek, Derek Morgan." Morgan shook her hand.

"Ok miss Garcia, I am obliged to ask whether you want any tests, at all?"

Garcia nodded "I would like a pregnancy test please." Garcia whispered to the nurse.

"Sure. I will have to take a urine sample. If you are pregnant would you want a miscarriage?" Garcia shook her head. Even if it was the sicko's child she couldn't kill an unborn child and she was sure Morgan would stick with her and the baby even if it wasn't his. He was loyal and nice like that.

"Ok Mr Morgan I will have to ask you to get out of the room for a moment if that is ok?" Morgan nodded and left the two ladies in the room together. He had to call Rossi and Hotch anyway to tell them she had woken up. He knew if they spoke to her, they would find Reid and the rest of the team. That's what he hoped anyway!

I could hear something overhead. I didn't know what it was but I was starting to feel drowsy and began to imagine things were there which weren't there. At one point I imagined an elephant and Zebra chasing each other. But this desert was empty apart from a couple of rattlesnakes and a whole lot of sand. I felt like I couldn't walk any further and a sudden dizzy spell came over me. I collapsed! I was alone in the middle of an empty desert. I didn't have any food or water. I just hoped someone would find me before my hopeless efforts to find a road which car drove down ended in me losing my life.

"Ok tell her we are on our way." Hotch said on the phone to Morgan. Him and Rossi had only just found out that Garcia had woken up. "So, Rossi, What shall we do? We took him to the station but we still have no idea where anyone else is. One of us needs to question him! I will, but you will have to question Garcia." Hotch told Rossi.

"Thanks give me the hard job. Hey!" Rossi joked.

"Can you drop me at the hospital and then go to the station to question him, please?" Rossi asked. Hotch nodded.

It took about 10 minutes to get to the hospital. Both men knew they had to be quick to question both people. They had at least four people missing and soon they would be dead. "Thanks Hotch." Rossi said. Just as Hotch was going to drive away he got a call from the sheriff. "Hello, sheriff. What's up?" Hotch asked "I think we have just found one of your agents…" Hotch was going to call Rossi back but he had to get to the scene before anyone messed about with the evidence. Hotch sped down route 15. He needed to see who they had found.

The next thing I remembered was waking up. I was in the desert still but lights were glowing down on me. There were two paramedics by the side of me and I could see a man in a suit running over to me. I could hear snippets of conversations which were mostly about me. Something stood out of the mumbling of noise. "So he was found just like that woman, naked, dehydrated, exhausted and assaulted in some way." I closed my eyes but about 20 seconds afterwards I was in a plane and next to me was a paramedic and Hotch. I knew I wouldn't die now!
