Lyric Of Love-Ch 11
JJ pulled Penelope back and held her in her arms as the medics worked to stabilize Derek so they could get him loaded and in route to the hospital as soon as possible. Penelope said, "b b blood, so sooooo much b b blood", JJ said, "he's going to be alright, he's a fighter and he'll do whatever it takes to come back to you".
To Penelope it was like everything was happening in slow motion, she kept seeing Derek fall to the floor over and over, she was helpless to do anything but stand there and watch the medics work. JJ pulled her cell out of her pocket and quickly dialed Emilys number, when she answered her phone she could hear the noise in the back ground and she said, "we're on our way, sorry we were late but", JJ said, "Em it's Derek, he's been shot".
Emily said, "what, shot, what happened"?, JJ said, "Penelope and Derek had just announced their engagement and", Emily said, "their what"?, JJ said, "I'll fill you in on that later". Emily listened as JJ told her everything that had happened from the time Derek got shot until the time she called Emily, Emily said, "we'll meet you at the hospital".
Before the call ended Emily said, "how's Penelope"?, JJ rocked her terrified friend and said, "shattered Em, she's completely shattered", Penelope said, "t t they're taking him". JJ said, "Em I've got to go they've got Derek loaded onto the stretcher and heading out of the arena", Emily said, "give PG our love and tell her we're on the way", JJ said, "will do" as the call ended and her and Penelope quickly fell in line behind the medics.
When they got Derek loaded into the ambulance JJ said, "she's riding with him", the medic said, "family only", JJ said, "she's his fiancée", the medic nodded his head and said, "alright but we've got to hurry". JJ said, "you go with Derek and I'll be right behind you", Penelope said, "I I I can't lose him", JJ said, "you're not going to lose him" as she climbed in and the medic closed the door.
Seconds later the ambulance raced from the scene with JJs car right behind them, across the lot Scott laughed and said ,"that's what you get when you try to take something that doesn't belong to you". He then started his car and fell in line several car lengths behind JJ and the ambulance, he had to make sure that Derek was taken care of before he could move on with the rest of his plan.
As the ambulance roared into the ER entrance Dave, Hotch and Emily ran outside and over to JJs side, Dave said, "when they left with him was he conscious"?, she shook her head and said, "no". They then followed Derek and the team of medics and doctors into the ER, JJ ran over to Penelope and said, "was he awake"?, she said, "n n no, he never woke up".
JJ pulled her friend into her arms and said, "he's going to be alright honey", Penelope said, "I hope so but he looked so bad, he'd lost so much blood and his blood pressure was so low". Dave said, "I called Fran on the way here, she should be here in a few minutes, Penelope said, "I'm so sorry, I didn't even think about calling her".
Dave said, "it's alright, she's a nurse she understands how things are during a time of crisis", Penelope sighed and then closed her eyes as JJ once again started rocking her back and forth and telling her that everything was going to be alright.
