(Reid point of view)

Our suspect points the gun straight at JJs head. I don't know what to do, should I let her fight for herself? What would JJ want in this situation? Is she scared? Of course she's scared, their is a weapon at her head. She just started recovering from her other injury, this stress can't be healthy.
"I don't think killing me will bring him back" She says, holding back tears. She's strong, so strong. That's one reason I love her. I can't let her die.
"He's gone, Sylvia." I tell her.
"Because of you" she screamed at JJ.
"No" I correct her. "Because of me, I killed him." She lowers the gun. I don't even think about my fate, I'm just grateful that JJ is safer.
"Spence" she whispers. "Please don't do this."
I smile at her, and realize that the gun is now pointed at me.
"If you shoot me, will she be okay?" I ask, hiding my fear.
"Yes" Sylvia said. She then lowered the gun, making me uneasy. "Since I'm nice, I'll give you two a minute" those words really made me sad. It was official, one of us had to die. She stepped back about five feet to give us privacy, but not enough for us to get away. I look around and see Armani watching from the doorway, but no SWAT, and no police.
"Call Hotch. Tell the team, tell the team that they were the best family a man could ever ask for." I tell JJ, who has started tearing up.
"What? No! I'm going, please don't do this Spence" I grab her hands, making her shut up.
"Tell Henry, that he has the best mother anyone could ask for, tell him that I'm always here for him even if I'm not physically with him" I continue. I look around, still no help.
JJ looks at me and falls into a hug. Sobbing into my chest. "I love you" she says through cries.
"I love you too" I say as I feel the tears start to drip down my cheeks.
"Times up" Sylvia says as she grabs my arm. When JJ steps back I can see the devastation in her eyes, making me turn away. I couldn't go out seeing her like that. "She's safe" she says to me.
"Thank you" I whisper. Sylvia positions herself to my left. JJ to my right.
I close my eyes, preparing.
"Good bye" I say to JJ.
"Bye, Spence" she falls to the ground after that. The pressure was so intense.
Just like that, I felt it. The life leaving my body. My head, my aching head slams onto the ground. I feel the blood fill my lungs, and drying up my skin. I hear the screams of Armani, the cries of JJ. My eyes are now glued shut. My body becomes still, making my heart ache for about ten seconds.
After that, I felt good. I felt alive. I felt strong. I get up, and look around. I'm in a room, a dark room. Alone, no one in sight. I start walking until I see something, something big. Something that a tiny sign on the wall identified as
