Garcia blinked, the rest of the team just stared at Morgan like he was crazy.
"I'm serious! Grab Reid, we dont have alot of time left!" Morgan rushed over and began to slide his hands under the cadaver's shoulders.
Not wanting Reid to get hurt when Morgan probably dropped him, JJ grabbed Reid's legs. Then she manuvered him into Morgan's arms. Prentiss fixed his head so it didn't jerk around so much when Morgan moved.
"What about Lyssa?" JJ suddenelly asked, seeing the small, burned corpse still on the floor.
Morgan looked over at her, then shrugged. JJ bent over and scooped up the dead child.
"We can atleast give her a proper burial.
The team nodded, then solemnly walked through the mirror, Hotch leading the way in a solemn parade.
When Morgan passed through the mirror Ivona placed her hand on Orbus's shoulder.
"When they come out they'll be just like any other spirits you know."
"So?" Orbus asked distractedly.
"They can't carry you. Try to make it a little easier on them."
As Morgan passed through the mirror, he felt Reid getting lighter... light as air in fact.
Morgan looked down, worried about the state of his cargo.
Reid was gone, all that was left were black, sooty, ash marks around his arms.
THUD! Orbus landed on the floor, apparantly unconcious. His clothes had changed, instead of coatails, slacks, and his mask clipped to a black belt, he wore Reid's Pajama bottoms and ratty, burned T-shirt.
"It's okay!" Ivona called out, leaning down and attempting to pick up Orbus, "He's just overwhelmed by the soul fragment you dragged out of the mirror!"
"I don't understand." Prentiss said as she bent down to help... and her hands passed right through Orbus' leg.
"This is Reid's physical body, you can't lift this since your just a spirit. And now that the Soul Fragment is no longer trapped inside the mirror, it's overriding the imposter in it's rightful body. Especially with Malifeciis and her power gone, the soul fragment is just doing what instinct tells it to do. We better hurry though- oh forget it I'll just drag him!" Ivona threw down a leg and grabbed Orbus by the wrists, then she began dragging him down the mirrored halls, "Go make sure the door is still open." She ordered Garcia who nodded and ran down the hall, following the string.
Ivona struggled, grunting ever-so often as she dragged the body down the hall and out the door.
Now came the tricky part. She had to get his body to her truck... or did she? Now that she thought about it, she might look bad if she showed up with a year-long missing FBI agent in her truck. It would be bad for buisness...
"Hey!" She called out, still dragging the unconcious body, "Officer!"
A man in a Police uniform turned to see her, "Hey! You not supposed to be here-"
"I know, but I saw this man under that structure and he wasn't moving so..." Ivona let her voice trail innocently off, "He's breathing but that's about it. I think he might need a hospital."
the officer checked Orbus' vitals, nodded, and walked away to phone an ambulance.
Ivona knelt down, brushing brown, lanky, dead hair away from the unconcious face, "Please hold on." She whispered.
Ivona rode in an ambulance for the second time that day, answering questions from the cop accompanying her and the medic who worked on checking Orbus' vitals.
"What were you doing at the scene?"
Ivona put on her saddest face, sniffing before she answered, "I just wanted to see it ya know? The place where my friend went missing. Just to ya know... come to terms with it? I didn't expect to find him under there! I'm just glad I did."
JJ, standing unoticed in an unused corner of the ambulance, let out a snort at Ivona's acting. This was quality drama the woman was delivering.
Amazingly, the cop bought it. He gave a warm smile and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Well we're certaintly glad you did."
Ivona smiled back and nodded, wishing she'd had a chance to conjour up fake tears to really seal the deal.
When they entered the ER, Orbus was wheeled into a curtained off area where a swarm of nurses and doctors overtook attending to him. The rest of the team followed in, appearing to materialize out of the sunlight, and walked up to Ivona who had run in behind Ivona.
"Well," She said turning to them, "Time for you guys to wake up."
