Criminal minds

Chapter 10

The sirens rang loudly down the street as they approached. I sat on the floor, holding Gideon. As soon as I shot the gun, I collapsed. Gideon, still fine thankfully, came over and sat with me. We heard movement downstairs. I got up and made my way to the door. I stumbled and a hand shot out and steadied me. I looked up to see a familar face, it was the police man who helped me with my parents so many years ago.

"Johnny!" I hugged him. He stiffened but relaxed a little. He carefully unattached himself from me. He proceeded to the man who may very well be dead. I followed him and crouched next to him, "Is he dead?" Johnny checked the pulse, he nodded. I breathed out in relief. Johnny got up and checked Gideon for injuries. Gideon just had a few scratches thankfully. He checked me next. I knew I had a few bad scratches but that was it.

I glanced at Gideon, "Gideon, it's time." He nodded. I grabbed my gun, and headed back to my car.

"Wait! Rhynna.. what if, I came with you?" Gideon called after me. He stopped in front of me.

I looked at him and smiled sadly, "Gideon.. I would love that, but you have to stay here. You have a job and a life here. I don't, I promise I'll visit soon though, okay?" He dropped his gaze. I grabbed his hands, I smiled at him sadly before retreating to my car and closing the door. I didn't want to leave. I really didn't. But I needed to if I ever wanted to get out of there. I drove him in utter silence. I arrived home and placed my keys on my table. I heard footsteps, I whipped around to see Kayden.

"Surprise."

******

"So, you actually left a little after I left the first time and arrived here to find no one home?" I asked.

"Yeah, I actually tried to call you a few times, I was worried."

"I'm sorry. Gideon is like my dad. No, he is my dad. Any dad I've ever had anyway. He texted me that something seemed wrong, so I rushed there to find him in his house with two guys with guns."

"You're alright though, right?"

"Do you think I would be here if I wasn't?"

"Sorry, making sure." He chuckled, placing his hand on mine.

I smiled sadly, "I hate to just leave him like that, but if I didn't leave then, I never would have left. Do me a favor, when you go back, check up on him often for me. I worry about him."

Kayden smiled, "Of course I will." I nodded and went into the kitchen. I sat at the table and sighed deeply. "Are you injured at all?" He asked worriedly.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little tired and all. A lot of driving, in such a short amount of time." I replied, then I passed out.

*****

"Yes, I swear. She's fine. Doc said she is just a little over-tired and dehydrated. I swear." The voice paused, "Yes," Another pause, "No. Okay, okay, I gotta go. Yes, I will tell you if anything changes. Okay, goodbye." My eyes stung as I tried to open my eyes. I managed to crack them up. It was veey bright, so I closed them again. My head was pounding. God, this was the worst headache ever. I finally managed to open my eyes and they adjusted quickly. Kayden was standing there, hands on his hips, staring out the window. I tried to say his name but my throat felt thick and groggy. I struggled to adjust myself, but everything felt heavy.

I finally found my voice and managed to ask, "What happened?" Kayden's eyes snapped to me. He rushed to my side.

"Rhynna! You're awake!" He cried. I blinked and nodded.

"What happened?" I repeated.

"Oh, right. You just passed out at your house, so I took you here. The doc says you were just over-tired and dehydrated."

"How long was I out?"

"About 16 hours. Its 1pm."

"Shit! My shift started like 3 hours ago!"

"You are in the hospital, I called you in sick." I sighed in relief. I moaned and rubbed my head. "Pain?" He asked concerned. I grimaced and nodded. "Yeah, you fell pretty hard."

"I did?"

"Yeah, you hit your head on a chair as you fell." I nodded carefully.

"Does Gideon know?"

He nodded, "He wanted to come here, I refused to let him. I assured him I would take care of you." I nodded my thanks and tried to sit up, "Woah, no. You keep that ass in that bed. You will hurt yourself trying to get up." I groaned and crossed my arms in frustration. He opened the door and yelled for a doctor. He came and sat by my bed and held my hand. A doctor came in and told me what happened, what he suggested I do, and a lot of other stuff that I didn't care about. Finally, he left and Kayden looked at me. "Ready to go home?"
