"Blake and Reid, you guys take the back, JJ and Morgan take the front, Rossi and I will get the guys to secure the property." Hotch said.

Reid lets his mind slip back for a few seconds.

It always used to be JJ and Reid, Morgan and Emily, Rossi and Hotch.

"Reid!"

He blinks back and focuses his aim, chasing as silently, which was not very silent, but it was good enough for someone as clumsy as him.

For now, he didn't need to think of JJ, and much less Emily.

Reid gets his gun ready on the window ledge, adjusts it, so the minute he pulled the trigger, a bullet will go through the head of the unsub. But then again, he thought, with his shooting accuracy and the unsub's movements, he'll be lucky if he hit anything.

JJ enters, sets her gun down and Reid relaxes himself for just a bit.

In hindsight, he probably shouldn't have.

But then again, JJ was a smooth talker and since she's already talking to the unsub, the chance of something going wrong was a mere 1.1 percent.

Reid would later kick himself for loosening the grip on his gun. He knew that he was already at the losing end since he couldn't hear the conversation; all he had was the unsub's facial expressions to work with. He should have kept focus.

He grunts. He didn't like it when he couldn't hear the conversation. It made him feel unprepared. Usually he was meticulous and would do his best to eliminate whatever leverage the unsub had. But recently he's been losing focus, and as he was adjusting his position to avoid leg cramps, he sure as hell heard the gunshot that rang through the neighborhood.

He barely caught the sight of JJ falling before he was able to process what happened. He was supposed to shoot the unsub the minute he raised his gun, but he slipped, and he was the only one with a clear shot.

Three more gunshots rang in his ear.

"Damn it Morgan, that's enough." Hotch shouts, shoving past the agent.

Morgan looks across the room to the window where Reid was standing. Reid knew that even though Morgan would never say it, he thought that Reid was at blame.

And for once, Reid didn't disagree with him.
