(Reid's pov)
I held Casey's hand tight as the gun was pointed at us both. Rossi was trying to calm him down but it wasn't working. "Please Sam do the right thing" he said softly as he took a step forward.

"I said stay back" he warned aiming the gun even closer. "Do you know how long it took me to plan this..." He paused as the gun started to shake, he was scared to pull the trigger. "I am not going down without completing my mission" he breathed heavy.

"We can help you Sam don't you understand that Alex has taken over you" JJ explained.

"Alex would have wanted this" he nodded.

"It doesn't matter what Alex wanted... He's dead" she said sharply. "Think about what you want Sam?" She asked.

"To kill them" he warned.

"That's what Alex wanted I'm talking about what you want..." She explained. "You have a decision to make Sam... You either put down the gun and we can give you a few years in prison or you can hit the trigger and I'll make sure you'll suffer for what you've done" JJ was turning on him.

"I'm going to prison anyway so I might as well do it" he shrugged laughing. He turned to see Casey "it's a shame..." He smirked. "Having a pretty woman die for something she did but that's how my law goes" his voice went deeper, he was going crazy like he had two personalities.

"No don't do that Sam be the bigger person" Blake tried to persuade him.

"Can't you see I am the bigger person" he smiled. "I'm the one cleaning up her mess" he messed around with the gun. "And now as she's never waking up... I'm gonna put her out of her misery" he pointed gun.

"Don't!" I shouted. "Get away from her" I pushed him away now having the gun pointed at me.

"And what best way for her to die while having her own friends watch her die" he smirked at me. I shook my head he pulled me and held my face watching her.

"No please" I struggled. "Sam don't please" he was slowly strangling me. "Sam" I said he held the gun up and aimed. "Sam!" I shouted. He put his finger on the trigger. "Sam!" I screamed and struggled. He breathed out slowly.

"This is what you get for killing my beast friend and now I'm going to show you what it was like having your own friend die right in front of you and not being able to do a single thing to help" he pulled the trigger. I struggled free and knocked the gun out of his hand Casey was bleeding out fast.

He quickly grabbed the gun back and aimed it at all of us. "Your not taking me either..." The gun shook. "I'm not going to prison for protecting civilisation from this monster" he quickly aimed the gun up and pulled the trigger and his body fell on to the floor.

I hesitated and ran towards Casey. "Doctor!" I shouted. The nurse hesitated to. Rossi and Hotch stood there I shock. "No!" I shouted. "No" the blood was pouring out I panicked and well for the first time I didn't know what to do.

"Reid" Blake grabbed my shoulder.

"No I'm not going she needs me" I cried as I shuffled her arm off of me.

She sighed. "Let the doctor help her" she spoke softly.

I looked at her and I knew I had to leave the room. The doctor rushed her to another room. The body of Sam was still on the floor. "You bastard!" I shouted and kicked his body.

"Reid!" Blake shouted.

"You shot Casey you bastard!" I shouted again. "You shot the one person..." I cried I couldn't even speak.

"Reid!" Hotch appeared. I stopped and looked at him. "Wait outside" he ordered. I glared at him and soon walked out quickly. I was so angry and worried and scared to think that Casey might be... I realised something. I let it happen again when Maeve died there was nothing I could do to stop it and it's foreshadowed upon me. I walked up and down full of anger. People were starring at me like I was crazy. I can't believe what happened it all happened so fast... And now I... I... This is no use. She's in there and I'm out here doing nothing and... I'm supposed to be a doctor I shrugged. I promised to protect her I've broke that promise twice now... If she dies in there... I won't be able to live with myself.

(Casey's pov)
I was looking at a smartly dressed woman in an elevator waiting. "Hey this was my first day on the job" I smiled. As I walked in everyone was being so nice.

"Yeah the first time we met" he smiled. "Wait this is a really recent memory" he thought for a second. "Don't worry something is going to happen I can feel it" he nodded. We both watched as I was being introduced to everyone.

"This was three years ago" I nodded. "To think I've been working for you guys for three years" I smiled.

Suddenly the memory fast forwarded to the moment when we was trying to catch Alex. "Wait_ what?" Reid questioned. "This shouldn't be happening... It jumped?" He questioned again.

"Reid what's happening?" I asked as I was scared.

"I think your body's going... Into..." I looked down to see my chest as he looked at it in surprise I was bleeding out fast. He shook his head "Casey your body's going into shock" he looked worried.

"What does that mean?" I asked. He didn't answer only he stepped back slowly. "What does that mean Reid?" I tugged his arm and looked at him seriously.

"Your bleeding out... Your..." He gulped. "Your dying" he shook his head and ran away from me.

"I can't be..." I had blood all over my hands. "No please don't" I cried. "No I can't die I'm... I need to see Reid again... I can't just go into shook just like that..." The needing was getting more intense. "Reid!" I shouted. "Reid!" I screamed. "Don't let me die!" The tears ran down my cheeks. "I don't want to die I'm not ready" I shook my head as I fell to the floor my energy was draining.

Your mother never meant for this Alex" I shook my head I started to listen to the memory as I had no choice but to fall to the floor in agonising pain.

"And now you've killed all those women because of me well..." The unsub started to tear as he listened to his mother cry out.

"I_I-I'm sorry I-I didn't mean for anybody to..." He stopped turning round to see me creeping up on him.

"Alex do the right thing" I smiled. That smile I hadn't seen in ages. As the pain grew in my chest the more the blood poured out the more the memory was fading my eyes fluttered slowly to begin with.

I kept my eyes open and watched myself shoot a living person again. I went into a panic attack after it. I turned over onto my back and breathed heavier. I held my chest tightly and kissed my other hand and blew it upwards. "I haven't got a lot of time left..." I nodded. "I really miss you Reid... I had an urge that this was going to happen" I explained coughing half way through. "I don't care if you can't hear this... I just need to get it out" I smiled as the tears were still rolling down my cheek. "Ever since I started the BAU there has been this bond between us" I laughed. "A bond I didn't know was there in till I realised it when you came to save me" I explained.

The coughing grew more. "This bond has grown... And I've realised that I love you Reid... I love you" I smiled crying. "I know we didn't get to make it work between us we weren't even given a chance to try our relationship" I nodded. "I was so stupid... I should've done everything you told me to... I should've listened then I probably wouldn't be dying in a slow painful way" I looked to the side of me. "Even though we didn't get to work it out I'm so glad I got to meet you" I wiped my tears. "I got to work with you and you're the only person I know who knows everything" I laughed. "But In life, unlike chess, the game goes on after checkmate" I said the quote proud. "After I die you'll live on... I promise I will always be with..." I breathed. "Be with you" my eyes fluttered again. "Just remember Reid I love you and I always will" I lead back slowly and my eyes closed slowly for the very last time.
