Old Friends-Ch 2
Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion as Hotch ran towards his son, he quickly felt for a pulse and gave a sigh of relief when he easily found one. Emily looked up and saw the man getting into a dark colored car, she got the liscense number and wrote it down in the sand with her blood covered finger.
Emily pulled out her cell and quickly dialed 911 and told them who she was and what had happened to herself and Jack as she made it wobbily over to Hotch and Jack. Hotch started rubbing his hand through Jacks hair saying, "Jack baby can you hear daddy", he got no response, he looked up at Emily with tears streaming down his face and said, "what the hell just happened", Emily said, "I don't know, we were just sitting and talking and then that man came out of nowhere and tried to take Jack".
Emily put her hand on his shoulder and said, "he is gonna be fine Hotch", he looked down at his sons still body and said, "I can't lose him Emily, I just can't". She wrapped her arms around him and said, "you won't lose him Hotch, you won't, he is a strong boy, he is your son and he is definitely a fighter, just like you".
Emily and Hotch sat by Jacks side as they waited for what seemed like hours before they finally heard the sirens coming towards them, when the police and paramedics got on the scene Hotch and Emily stepped back and stood and watched as they worked on Jack. A paramedic said, "mam we need to check you out to", she looked at them and frantically said, "I'm fine, just please take care of Jack".
Hotch watched helplessly as they checked his son and gently loaded him onto the backboard before putting him in the ambulance, he turned and looked at Emily and said, "please let them take care of you Emily, I can't take maybe losing 2 people that I love today". She looked at him and thought, did he just say what I think he did?, she then groaned in pain as the paramedic cut her shirt to check her wound.
The ambulances took out from the scene with sirens blaring, Hotch sat beside Jack and put his little hand in his and said, "daddy's here Jack, I'm here with you". He couldn't believe the difference a few hours had made, a few hours ago his son was laughing and talking and now he was laying in front of him fighting for his life.
The gurney carrying Jack came crashing through the door first, the doctors were running around trying to get him stableized, they pushed him into a cubicle and Hotch tried to follow but was immediately stopped by the nurse. He looked at her and said, "I have to be with my son, please let me go in there".
The nurse put her hand on his shoulder and said, "sir you need to stay out here with me and give the doctors room to work on your son", Hotch ran his hand through his hair and blew out his breath and said, "is there anything I can do"?, she said, "yes, you can answer a few questions for me", He then wiped his eyes and said, "what do you want to know"?, she said, "I need to know his name, age, blood type and any allergies that he might have.
Hotch brached himself against the desk and said, "his name is Jack Hotchner, he is 6 years old, he didn't notice that the ambulance carrying Emily had arrived and Emily was now standing behind him. Hotch looked at the nurse and said, he is allergic to nuts and Pennicillin and his blood type is AB-.
Emily put her hand on his shoulder and said, "have you heard anything"?, he turned around and pulled her into his arms and said, "I haven't heard anything since they brought him in, I don't know how he is". She rubbed her hand up and down his back and held him close, she gasped when pain shot through her shoulder.
Hotch stepped back and said,"oh Emily, I'm sorry, did I hurt you?, she grabbed her shoulder and said, "no Hotch you didn't do anything wrong", he looked at the nurse and said, "can you please get someone to look at her, she has been shot in the shoulder. The nurse turned around and went to get another doctor.
Hotch halfway laughed and said, "why aren't you on the gurney"?, she gave him a look and he said, "why do you have to be so damn stubborn Emily"?, she laughed and said, "look who is talking". Hotch walked over to the window and watched as the doctors were feverishly working on his son trying to get him stabilized.
One of Jacks doctors came out and said, "family of Jack Hotchner", Hotch walked over and said, "I'm his father, how is he doing"?, the doctor said,
"we are trying to stablize him right now". Hotch said, "what can you tell me so far"?, the doctor said, "it looks like he has a broken arm, a ruptured spleen and maybe a few cracked or broken ribs".
Hotch rubbed his hand through his hair as the doctor said, "that in itself is bad enough, but that isn't all that is wrong with your son", Emily then put her hand on Hotchs shoulder for support. Hotch said, "wh what else is wrong with my son"?, he took a deep breath and said, "he has major head trama and possible spinal injuries".
Hotch dropped down on his knees, Emily and the doctor got down beside him and helped him back up, he said, "just as soon as we stabilize him we are going to redline him to the OR". Hotch said, "is there anything we can do for him"?, the doctor said, "he has a rare blood type, so if either of you could donate it would be appreciated".
Emily said, "I have AB- I can donate", Hotch turned and said,"I can't ask you to do that Emily, you have been shot and", Emily put her finger to his lips and said, "you didn't ask me to donate blood Hotch, I want to do it, I want to do something to help Jack. He pulled her into his arms and when he opened his mouth to say something to her that is when he heard, CODE BLUE ROOM 2, CODE BLUE ROOM 2.
