Iris POV:
"Cole no we have to go back he's not safe" I cry beating on his back as hard as I can. His grip on my thighs just tightens as we enter Reid's room.
"Cole he needs us" I beg looking at the doorway hoping Reid would walk in but he doesn't. Cole remains calm as he goes into the closet. He presses the emergency elevator button and it opens. Our chances of saving Reid slimming with every step
"Put me down please" I cried as we entered it. Hearing the sounds of gunshots and then a thud of someone dropping to the floor tears start to trickle down my face. No no no. My throat tightens my resolve almost breaking but the need to help Reid is strong enough to make me keep fighting.
Not being able to handle any more of this I start kicking and scratching him in my panic. He drops me and I run to the door only for him to catch me. Screaming I try to grab onto the door frame but my fingers slip. He throws me over his shoulder once again and we enter the elevator
Cole ignores my assault and pleas he just grunts holding me tighter as the elevator doors open into the underground parking lot
"Cole please we need to go back let go of me" I cry out my voice echoing into the empty lot. A part of me is telling me to trust Cole but at the same time, I wouldn't forgive myself if something happened to Reid and I didn't at least try to help. Feeling defeated I stop fighting letting Cole carry me to the car
He quickly strides towards the vehicle the chances of saving Reid slipping with every step
Where is he? He should be down here by now. What's taking him so long? His okay. I know he is. The elevator is just slow when you're rushing. Yeah, he's going to come down any second now. I stare at the elevator shaft but it doesn't open panicking again I try peeling away from Cole but his grip on me is tight enough to leave bruises if I don't stop fighting him
"Cole please listen to me" I cried out as the car beeped from him unlocking it. He ignores me shoving me into the backseat. I screamed rushing and grabbing the car handle only to find that his put on the child lock.
He climbs into the driver's side seething I glare at him. He meets my eyes in the mirror then looks away starting the engine. In defeat, I slouch back into the seat exhaustion starting to take over my body. Reid will just have to find us waiting in the front of the building
Cole tightly grabs the wheel his chest rising and falling. He pulls out of our parking space our eyes briefly meet in the rearview mirror again. I slowly start to calm myself down when I see his eyes watering from behind the frame of his glasses. His having a panic attack
"Cole" I call out softly as I grab his shoulder. He flinches at my touch something his never done. He tries to keep his hands on the wheel as he picks up speed. The sound of tires screeching and the smell of burning rubber is thick with every twist and turn. The engine roars at the press of his foot on the escalator. The whole scene has me dissociating from my emotions
"His okay" I hear him whisper amid the chaos in my head.
He speeds out of the underground parking and drives onto the street. Just as we turn a part of the building blows up shards of glass falling onto the sidewalk. In shock, Cole stops the car the tires screeching to a halt. A car honks its horn at him but we pay it no attention. He jumps out of the car with urgency without uttering a word to me. I look up at our building with widened eyes.
Momentarily my heart stops. The world around me seems to slow as I watch the whole floor of our penthouse engulfed in thick black and red hue smoke
"No no no" I whisper over and over again refusing to believe what I'm looking at. My hand shakily reaches out for the door handle as Cole steps back into the car. He sniffs sliding his hand across his nose as he sits down. He starts the engine the space eerily quiet none of us wanting to address what we just saw. He lets out a shaky breath and drives away. He doesn't even look back as he drives. Drives away from Reid. He is still up there why isn't Cole waiting
