Hotch pulled his gun out of his side holster and slowly stepped behind him, Hotch instantly aimed his gun at the man and said, "FBI drop your gun and drop it now". The man stopped and dropped his gun, Emily then whirled around and saw Hotch with his firearm aimed at the man that was standing behind her.
Emily quickly pulled her gun and gasped in pain as a stinging sensation shot through her shoulder, Hotch watched as Emily aimed her gun at the man and slowly started walking towards him. Hotch wanted to make sure that Emily was safe, he had to keep her safe, she had already been shot today and he didn't know if he could handle anything else happening to her.
Hotch then said, "raise your hands up where I can see them", the man did what he was told and slowly raised his hands up high in the air, Emily walked over to him and said, "who are you and why are you following us"?, the only thing the man did was laugh at Emily. She got up in his face and screamed,
"what the hell is so funny"?, he smirked and simply said, "you".
Hotch walked over to the man and said, "put your hands behind your back", the man quickly complied with Hotchs demands and put his hands behind his back. Emily was still standing with her gun trained on the suspect, Hotch then pulled out his cuffs and then the next thing that was heard was the sound of metal slapping against the mans wrists.
Emily then pulled out her phone and dialed the London office and talked to her first in command Sean Path, after a couple of rings Sean said, "Agent Path", Emily said, "Sean this is Emily", he said, "how can I help you", she grabbed her throbbing shoulder and said, "I was a victim of another attempted assualt in front of the hospital". Sean wasted no time in getting a team to the hospital to pick up the suspect and take him into their offices for questioning.
Hotch quickly made his way over to Emily and said, "are you alright, I saw you grabbing your shoulder", she patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm fine". He looked at her and said, "Emily you are looking really really pale, are you sure your alright"?, suddenly her world started turning around and she looked at Hotch and said, "I I I don't feel right".
Emilys legs got wobbly and just as she started going down Hotch wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her body to his and said, "HELP, I NEED SOME HELP HERE". Several nurses came running outside and helped Hotch get Emily inside, he was torn between the two people that means the most to him and he looked at the nurse and said, "is there any news on Jack"?, the nurse said, "I was just coming to find you, the surgery is going good and should be over in about an hour".
Hotch smiled and said, "thank you", he then walked over to the window outside her room, he watches anxiously as he watches the doctors as they work to stablize Emily. A few minutes later the doctor walks out and says, "my name is ", Hotch holds his hand out and shakes his hand and says,
"Aaron, Aaron Hotchner". He says, "Ms Prentiss system was compromised when she got shot and refused in depth medical treatment". Hotch looked at him and worried what he was gonna hear Dr. Smith say next.
Dr. Smith took a deep breath and said, "there seems to be a fragment of the bullet lodged causing lack of blood flow to her arm", Hotch looked at him and said, "what can you do for her"?, he sighed and said, "we need to take her up to surgery and see if we can dislodge the fragment before it can do more damage".
He looked at the doctor and said, "can I see her before you take her up"?, he nods his head and says, "yeah but it can only be for a few minutes", he smiles and says "thank you" before heading inside to see Emily. Once inside her room he walks over and stands beside her bed and takes her good hand in his and says, "what am I gonna do with you Emily, you are so damn stubborn". He caresses the side of her face and says, "the reason that Jack and I came to London was because there was something that I wanted to tell you",
He leaned over and said, "Emily I have always had feelings for you, I've had them since the first day I saw you but they really caught up with me after Haley died". He stopped and listened to the sound of her heart monitor beeping, he then took a ddp breath and continued talking to her, "the longer we were apart the more I realized that I loved you and when you came home for Christmas and then left well it just about broke me", he reached up and wiped away another tear before continuing.
He sighed and said, "you have no idea how forward I looked and still look to our video calls, phone calls and texts but I want more, I need more", he turned when heard the door open. The doctor said, "we need to take her now", he looks at him and says, "please give me one more minute", the doctor nods and steps back out into the hall.
Hotch leans over and says, " I need you to know that I love you Emily and I need you to fight to come back to me", he then leaned down and gently pressed his lips to hers. Seconds later Dr. Smith came back in and Hotch smiled and said, "thank you for the extra time". He looked at Hotch and said, "your welcome, it is very important that at times like these that we need to let our loved ones know how we feel". Hotch looked at him and asked, " how long will this surgery take"?, he sighed and said, "it should take an hour or so depending on how hard the fragment is to reach".
Hotch nodded as they wheeled Emily out of the room, he stood there watching as Emily went through the doors, he closed his eyes for a second and said, "please God, please watch over Emily and Jack and bring them both back to me". He then headed down the hall and outside so he could use his cell.
He quickly hit #3 on speedial and heard, "bossman, how is Jack"?, he sighed and said,"he is still in surgery but now we have another complication",
Pen said, "oh no, what's wrong now"?, he said, "Emily collapsed and was rushed to surgery", Pen covered her mouth and said, "oh no not our raven haired beauty",
Pen took a deep breath and said, "we are on the way now, all of us and we should be there in a few hours", Hotch sighed and said, "you all do know that you don't have to come right"?, Pen laughed and said, "we know that Hotch, but we want to come, we are a family and we stick together". He smiled for what felt like the first time in days.
Pen said, "we are working on the case as we speak but so far we are hitting brick walls", Hotch said, "so your not getting anywhere with what Emily told you earlier"?, Pen said, not much, I found several different address and several different names all bogus, but don't worry bossman we will find this bastard and we will make him pay".
Hotch felt tears streaming down his face again, he wiped them away and said, "please tell everybody I said thank you and I will see you all when you get here". Penelope wiped away the tears streaming down her face and said, "will do bossman, Garcia out", when the call was ended Penelope fell into Dereks arms in tears while meanwhile in London Hotch walked slowly back inside the hospital to wait of news on Jack and Emily.
