"Where is she?" Morgan yelled as he jumped out of the car and was already running towards the house with Rossi right behind him. But before they could get there medics were pushing the stretcher with Emily on top of it out of the door. Morgan's eyes widened at the sight in front of him. There was so much blood covering her body. He had to look away he didn't want to see his best friend like that. Then he realized she needed him and wanted to run to her but it was Rossi who made the first move. He quickly crossed the distance between him and Emily and took her left hand in his own. The medics were trying to make him leave but he wasn't listening. He was concentrated on the brunette lying in front of him.

"Emily, open your eyes for me, Kiddo. Emily can you hear me?" He spoke to her praying she would open her eyes as a reaction to his voice. He saw how she struggled to open her eyes and when she finally did he could see the pain in them. He hated to see her like that. She was like daughter to him and he couldn't lose her. He already lost one child and he couldn't let that happen again.

"Dave." He heard the quiet whisper from the lips of the young woman in front of him. And as he was about to answer she started coughing. And he was horrified as he saw the red blood coming from her mouth. In that moment the medics no longer cared about him and started shouting orders. He didn't understand much all he could register was internal bleeding, punctured lung and an oxygen mask . And all he could do was to watch how they loaded Emily into the ambulance and with the sirens on, they speeded towards the hospital. Then he turned away and saw Morgan and Strauss standing a few feet away. They were both staring at him with looks of shock on their faces.

"Ok, we have to go to the hospital, now." He said panic in his voice. He couldn't concentrate and could feel his hands shaking until he felt someone's hand on his shoulder and he realized that Morgan was now standing right in front of him.

"Rossi go, I'll stand here till the tech's arrival and I'll try to find out what happened since Strauss looks like she won't be able to say something anytime soon and I'll get to the hospital as soon as I can. And you should take her with you. To get her checked out." When Rossi didn't answer Morgan lightly squeezed his shoulder and continued. "She will be ok Rossi. You know her, she's a fighter. She will be fine." Rossi slowly nodded then looked at Strauss who looked still at shock but acknowledged him with a shaky nod and walked towards the SUV with him.

Once they were on the road he couldn't hold it back and the question simply flew out of his mouth. "What the Hell happened in there?" he almost shouted which caused Strauss to flinch. He looked at her for a moment but then turned back to the road. He waited for a while but she didn't answer. He felt anger rise up inside of him at her lack of response but he made himself concentrate on driving. He can yell at her later. They spend the rest of the ride in silence and when they pulled up on the hospital parking lot he jumped out of the car, not bothering if Strauss was behind him. He ran inside and immediately approached a nurse who was sitting behind the computer.

"Excuse me. My name is Agent David Rossi, FBI. I'm looking for Agent Emily Prentiss. She was brought here a while ago." The nurse looked at his ID then nodded and started to typing something on the computer. After few moments, when Rossi was already nervous like hell, she looked up with a sad frown.

"She was ushered on the OR for the surgery. You can wait over there till the doctor comes to inform you about her condition." She said kindly and pointed on the door with the sign that said 'WAITING ROOM'.

Rossi nodded but before he left he said. "Do you know anything else?"

The nurse shook her head. "I'm sorry. She went straight to the surgery. They barely had time to tell me her name so I could put it into computer."

"Ok thank you. Oh, and um, there should come some other people asking for Agent Prentiss so could you just send them into the waiting room to us?" Rossi asked and the nurse nodded with a small smile but that quickly disappeared as she looked at Strauss.

"Ma'am, are you ok? I think somebody should look at that cut on your cheek. Wait a minute… Sam? Could you please come here for a sec?" She called somewhere behind her and then a young nurse appeared next to her with questioning look on her face. "Could you please take care of Mrs. …" "Strauss. Erin Strauss." Rossi informed the two nurses who just nodded and then Sam walked with Strauss out of his sight. The nurse behind the computer smiled at him. "I will make sure she will get back to you when they are finished. You just go inside and take a break. You look like you need it." Rossi nodded and thanked and headed to the waiting room. Once inside he sat on the chair but a moment after he started pacing around the empty room. He wasn't sure if that was a good thing that he was alone but at least he could think. Finally he couldn't stand it anymore and dialed Morgan's number and waited for him to pick up.

"Hay Rossi, any news?" Morgan said in the first second. He sounded worried and angry at the same time.

"No, we just got here. Emily is on the surgery and they took Strauss to get checked out the cut on her cheek. Derek, when are the others coming? I'm here like five minutes and I think I'm losing my mind."

"I talked to JJ, she's on her way with Reid and Hotch. They should be there soon. And Garcia, as much as she wants to be there, she will come with me. Right now she has to… check on something." Rossi could sense the hesitation in his voice.

"Did you find something?" he asked but he wasn't sure if he wanted to know the answer.

"Rossi, they were watching. We found cameras and mikes in the house. Garcia is working on the video and as soon as she'll get to it she'll send it to us. But I'm not sure if I want to watch it alone. So I think I'll just wait until we get to the hospital." He paused for a second to take deep breath and continued. "We checked the house and I have to tell you the living room is a mess. There is a lot of blood and I think most of it is Emily's. And I saw the body of that creep and you know what? I'm proud at our Princess. She beat him good." He laughed a little but there was no humor in his voice.

"Ok, Morgan. Just get here soon ok? See you later." He sighed and hung up. He sat heavily onto the chair and until the others get there, there was nothing he could do. Only pray for his little girl to be okay.
