I would do anything !!( criminal minds fanfiction)

Chapter 3: A new day. A new case.

Garcia's P.O.V

Alex looked like she has been to hell last night but now she looks worse. She can't focus she jumps at any sound her bravado had fallen and now she is just pleading for the pain to stop she looks as if she hasn't slept in days. Now I hate Connor Wailand more than ever, she watches as Strauss leaves Hotch's office and she slowly rises from her desk in the bullpen she hobbled up to Hotch's office on her crutches she was in pain and no matter how hard she tries she can't hide it from us. I will try my best to cheer her up but it doesn't look too easy. I just don't want to see her like she was when she was 5 scars like those will never heal. They rip a hole in your chest holes never really heal they just don't hurt as much after a while.

Hotch's P.O.V

"Hotch I need to talk to you," Alex hobbled into my office. She looks worse than she did last night. Only she has covered most of her bruises. She had taking a serious beating. I would gladly step in and take her place if I was able to and I know for a fact so would the rest of this team. "I need to know who knows the full extent of my torture." She spoke in calm tone but the pain shown on her face was enough to punch a hole through my chest. Connor Wailand will never see the light of day again.

"Not everyone, only myself, Garcia and Strauss."I answered before quickly adding "would you like me to tell the others?" I knew what she was thinking she didn't want the others to worry about her. She has never liked sympathy, she never accepts it. She shook her head and hobbled out. She probably thinks that the others will over react or treat her like a kid. She has probably told Rossi already. At least I hope she has

Garcia's P.O.V

Alex hobbled into my lair. She looked worried. She cautiously lowered herself into the spare seat in my tiny room. She was in pain and no matter what she said or what she did the pain showing on her face was almost unbearable. She is almost like my little sister, I hate seeing her or any of the team in pain they are my family. Watching those videos was excruciating but I did it to help the team.

"So what's up?" I asked trying to break the awkward silence that now surrounded us. She stared down at her feet one in plaster and one in her favorite scruffy red converse.

"Have you told anyone?" she whispered, I had to think about it. But she had answered my unasked question "about the ... Rape?" She took several moments for her to choke out the words. It was as if she thought that if she pretended long enough that it would be almost as if it never happened. But sadly it did happen and Strauss won't let her forget it

"I haven't told anyone but Hotch told Strauss, why?" I answered but still vaguely confused I didn't understand why she was acting so strange. I know she went through something no person alive should have to go through. Yet it was still all really odd. I want the happy smiling girl that is always happy and dancing I want that Alex not this new depressing Alex.

"just don't tell anyone, I don't want them to worry," she muttered looking at the floor I could tell she expected me to tell her that she has to tell someone but I have been placed in a similar passion before and that is not the thing she needs to here

I move so that our knees are touching I place a finger under her chin and slowly move her head so that we are looking at each other "I promise that I will never tell a soul the full extent of what He did to you, but it may almost be an impossible task keeping this from them, I mean it is their job to find peoples secrets," I tried to make her smile but it only made her sniffle even more. JJ entered and informed us of a new case causing Alex to hobble out with JJ.

Alex's P.O.V

I walked, well hobbled, alongside JJ following her to the BAU room. She didn't bother talking about what happened to me. This seems to be the main topic of conversation at the moment. I was grateful for the fact that she didn't bring up the topic I wanted to forget. Instead she talked about her fiancé Will. "Will and I were talking and we think that hennery may have a little brother or sister soon," she explained
