Old Friend

Chapter 14

"Help, help!" Derek heard a women cry out. Derek ran toward the women's voice and found a blonde women next to a body and the ground. "Help him!" The women yelled. "Reid!" Morgan yelled and went on the ground next to him. "Reid, come on, stay with me!" Derek got his phone out and called Aaron. "Morgan?" "Hotch! Reid got shot, send help now!" Derek yelled into the phone. "Garcia just called 911 and We're on our way." "Hurry!"

The ambulance arrived and took Spencer and Ben Wichman off on a gurney. "Will he be okay?" JJ asked the paramedic. "It's hard to tell right now." then team gathered in a circle. "Hotch, I'm sorry it's my fault Reid got shot, I wasn't with him." Derek admitted. "Morgan, don't blame yourself. This could've happened whether you were here or not." Said Aaron.

The team stayed at the hospital overnight waiting to hear news on Spencer. "Spencer Reid?" A nurse said. Everyone stood up, JJ walked toward the nurse. "How is he?" "He's going to be fine, his neck is just going to be sore for awhile." Everyone had a sigh of relief. "Can we see him?" JJ asked. "Only two at a time." JJ nodded. "JJ, can I come?" Penelope asked. JJ nodded.

Penelope and JJ walked into the hospital bedroom where they found Spencer sound asleep. "He looks so peaceful." Penelope whispered. JJ nodded. "He'll be like that for a couple more hours or at least until we have to get on the jet and go home." "Do we really have to wake him up?" Penelope asked. "Yeah if he wants to go home. Besides, I'm sure he would rather be at home then here." "Yeah you're right."

An hour later Spencer's eyes fluttered open. "Hey spence." said JJ. "Hi." Spencer said with a yawn. "You tired?" JJ asked. Spencer nodded and kept his eyes shut. "Do you want to sleep some more?" "I'm okay." Spencer said sleepily. Suddenly Derek walked in. "Hey pretty boy is alive." Derek joked. Spencer smiled. Derek nealed down next to Spencer. "You okay?" Derek asked. Spencer nodded.

The rest of the team was still in the waiting room waiting to hear news on Ben Wichman. "Aaron Hotchner?" Said the nurse, Aaron stood up. "Ben Wichman didn't make it off the table." Aaron nodded.

After Derek came back, Aaron stood up and walked to Spencer's room. JJ put her finger over her lips. "He's sleeping." she whispered. Aaron nodded. "Did he tell you what happened?" Aaron asked. JJ shook her head. "He was going in and out." Aaron nodded. Suddenly the nurse came into the room. "Mr. Hotchner?" The nurse asked. Aaron stood up. "Dr. Reid will be able to leave in a hour, we'll give him a sedative so he'll sleep the whole way home." "Thank you." Said Aaron. The nurse nodded and walked out of the room.
