I wake up in the whitest room. Black- White. Flashes of color. "Mom?!" It was an older voice. Raina. "Hi sweetie." I say in a hoarse voice. "What happened?" She asks. "It's an investigation. Let's say a little reunion. I'm sorry I couldn't be home sooner. It wasn't planned." I say, opening my eyes wider. It seemed so blurry to me... I stare at her. "Where are your sisters?" I ask her. "They're outside. Your boss.. Agent Hotchner brought us here. He said you weren't cleared for fight till later, so we should stay here." Raina says. I sigh and sit up slightly. "Mom... What really happened?" She asks me. I stare at her for a moment. I sigh. "An old boyfriend. Did the team catch him?" I ask. "I don't know!" Raina scowls and I roll my eyes. "Don't talk to me that way, escpesially now. Seriously, I'm not in the mood to deal with you all. I have such a bad headache." I say, and look around the room. I see a wheel chair, and that's all I see. "Open that, and bring it over here Raina. Help me out." I say and sit on the edge of the bed. She puts it on the side and sit. We both look at each-other and laugh. "I have this. Can you ask the nurse for crutches? I'm going to go look decent." I say annoyed and go by the bathroom,and wheel in. I close the door, and look in the mirror and fix my hair. I looked like bed head. Worse. I wash my face. It hurts, but I ignore it. I look around for spare clothes. Nothing? Yes nothing. I get out and take I see Raina, and a nurse. No crutches? I think to myself. "Hi." I say to the nurse. "Ms. Lakes, you can't have crutches." She says. I stare at her in surprise. "Is it really needed? Can't I just wear a brace? I mean.." I go off. She nods slowly. "Can you get me a change of clothes Raina? I'm really sorry." I say. She nods. I sit, frusterated, while the nurse asks me questions. I answer. They were health questions, so it was needed. She leaves, and Raina comes back with the kids. "Hey girls. Just give me a minute." I say and change clothes. The pain worsens, but I ignore it. Would I want to look awful infront of everyone? Of course not! I tell myself and get out. Reid and Hotchner stand with the girls. "They look just like you Liz." Reid says. "Thanks Reid." I say. Mary held Reid's hand, and Amy and Yasmine stood near Hotch. But Raina stood near me. "Hotch, what happened to him?" I ask. I wasn't happy, but I knew it was serious. "He's dead. Hit by a car running away. How are you?" He asks. "Oh just swell other than this." I say, making a face, and patting the wheel chair. "It could be worse." Reid says. Mary turns to Reid, looking up. Her eyes watering. "How?" She asks.
