Confusion.
You could see him.
You could hear him. You knew it wasn't real.
But the pain medications made it appear as though if it was.
You felt yourself slipping in and out of consciousness but you also felt the team right beside you.
"I'm never going to let you go," you instantly snapped open your eyes as you heard Nazar's creepy laugh playing through your mind.
"Oh god," you say out loud as you run your hand through your hair.
"You're awake," Spencer came over and sat by you on the hospital bed.
"I need to get out of here,"you say, looking at all the IV's that were hooked up to you.
"You're not going anywhere for a while, YN," Spencer gave a slight, sad smile.
"What happened?" You grimaced as pain shot from your right side.
"We were driving to the cemetery to meet up with J.J and Rossi, Mark in the back next to me. We arrived and JJ and Rossi told us to stop driving but it was a little too late. Someone had implanted a bomb to Rossi's SUV which was parked across from us, the explosion causing us to flip. Hotch and I came out with minor scratches but-"
"Mark's dead isn't he?" You ask Reid.
He nodded as he continued.
"You have severe second degree burns and your right leg is immobile at the moment-"
"Immobile?" You asked looking down at it.
"You won't be walking for a couple of months, YN. The vehicle was able to smash some bone fragments. The doctor said you may have a permanent limp after when it heals," Reid said as he held onto your hand, doing his best to comfort you even though he was the bearer of bad news.
"A limp?" You rolled your eyes angrily.
You were upset, very. You came out the most injured and lost a suspect. What was happening?
"Reid, was the bomb planted on the left side of the vehicle?" You asked him as you turned the TV to mute.
"How did you know?" Reid asked you.
"I was the only affected, well besides Mark. The bomb was planted on the left side of Rossi's vehicle which means it was designed to have caused enough damage to my side. Someone set off the bomb. Someone was watching us, Reid," You tell him, itching to get out of the hospital.
"We know who it is, YN. Did you know your sister was here?" At the mention of your sister, you wanted to scream. It's been months since you've heard from her.
And now look what has happened.
You jumped slightly at the sound of the door opening.
"Hey Reid, do you mind if I talk to YN for a minute?" Hotch asked as he looked over at you.
"Sure, no problem," Reid said casually as he stepped out.
"YN, I have some news-"
"That my sister is trying to kill me? Yea, thanks for the heads up," you say, biting your tongue.
"Not that," Hotch shook his head. "Strauss is here, she wants you off the case."
"Shit," you muttered as you saw Strauss through the blinds, arms folded.
