Morgan sat down in the chair his face frozen in shock.
"Have you told Reid?" Isobel rung her hands in front of her.
"I can't make him not go be with his mother guys… she's dying…"
All three agents let out a gasp.
"She is?" Penelope asked, Isobel nodded sadly.
"Reid got a letter a week ago that she has cancer in her brain, they gave her three weeks to a month to live, maybe longer if she does some treatments. So, Reid is taking a new job in Vegas to be closer to her and help her go to treatments. I told him I would go with him and help, but he doesn't want me around all of that." She let out a broken sob. "I love him so much." Her head fell on the table with a loud thud has heart breaking sobs spilled from her. Morgan stood his eyes full of anger. "So, this is why I don't know how to convince him to move her up here, when that probably won't help with the cancer."
"Then you need tell him, by you sitting here not telling him is keeping him from ever seeing the baby, yes he needs to be there with his mom. But, this baby is his family too Iz." Nodding her head, she stood pulling her phone from her pocket.
"Okay I will call him." Shaking his head Morgan hands, her, her car keys.
"Go to his apartment and tell him to his face, this is a conversation best said in person." Nodding she takes the keys heading to her car. They all give her thumbs up for encouragement. Smiling shakily, she gets in the car.
Driving to Reid's apartment brought a lot of hard feelings on the her. Pulling up outside the building she takes a shaky breath, exiting the car she walks to the door. Climbing the stairs to his floor her breath hitches in her throat looking at the note on the door.
"To anyone who it may concern, I have left for Las Vegas to be with my mom a day early, if you need to reach me just call me. Reid." Isobel sighed then pulled her phone out of her pocket she starts the walk back to her car dialing Reid's number. It went to voicemail.
"Hey Reid, its Isobel, I really needed to tell you something important, please call me back as soon as you can. I hope your mom…" A steel blade presses to her throat, a hand coming up yanking her head back by the hair.
"Well look at what we have here, a beautiful young girl." Came a gruff voice in her ear. Panic filled the agent as she dropped her phone.
"Please don't, I work for the FBI you don't want to do this." The man grins evilly at her turning her to face him.
"An agent uh? Well pretty thing I'll be generous then, give me your wallet and I won't kill you." His rancid breath blew in her face, wrinkling her nose she reaches for her wallet…
"Don't you dare!" turning her head she saw Derek running toward her. The man grinned down at her.
"Guess I won't be generous." She lets out a scream as the blade is shoved into her side. The man drops her to the side taking off running. Derek is next to her in a flash putting pressure to the bleeding wound.
"Stay with me Isobel come on." Whipping his phone out he dials 911, when the operator gets on the phone he explains the situation holding her close to him. Looking over at her phone noticing it's still recording the voicemail she lets out a broken noise. Looking down at the flailing girl in his arms he demands the operator that they need to hurry. The sky began to blur, as her vision starts to swim tears roll down her cheeks as she looks into Derek's eyes.
"The baby…" she croaks out, passing out in his arms. Her phone shuts off the call with a Bing.
