A beeping sound on my right side, woke me up. Tilting my head to the side I opened my eyes but instantly regretted it, closing my eyes again I groaned. I heard someone chuckle beside me and I smelt the strong coffee that Rossi normally makes. 

"Do you always have your coffee that strong Rossi?" I asked, still not opening my eyes. I heard him chuckle before he held my hand tightly.

"Do you know who did this to you," He asked me.

"It's still blurry, But all I can remember is that there was a beeping sound in the SUV and I told Hotch before it blew up." I said and then the memories came back to me, making the heart monitor beep like crazy. 

"Hey Reid, Calm down." Said Rossi holding my hand tighter. I heard doctors come into the room. 

"Sir you have to wait outside," Said one of the doctors as he felt my breathing. 

--

I finally was let to see Rossi again, "I'm so sorry Grace, I brought back memories." Rossi said. I sighed. 

"That wasn't your fault, something came back to me. Rossi, Brian Hayes had a brother. He was the UnSub." I said. "But he left just before I passed out." I said. "He didn't say his name all I know is that he said he was his brother." I said. 

Rossi gave me a sympathetic look and I winced in pain, as my ribs started to flare up a little but not as much when the bomb went up. "Hey, Your supposed to be out of this place tomorrow," Rossi said and I smiled before nodding.

"Where is the rest of the team?" I asked.

"They're still working, Morgan and Reid are supposed to come here later." He said and I sighed as I leaned back in my cold solid bed, I hated this place with a passion because of my earlier experience with near death. When I was 18. 

"Reid! You zoned out! What were you thinking about?" Asked Rossi and I looked over at him. I gave him a smile before picking at the IV line that was on my arm before Rossi stopped me again. "Grace, Your never this fidgety. Seriously what is going on?" Rossi asked me.

"Nothing, I'm fine." I said and I knew he didn't believe me because he looked at me once before sighing. 

"It's Hali? Isn't it." He asked and I silently nodded. "We will catch him you know, I promise." He said and held my hand tight. Like I said, Rossi was the only one that fully knew what happened to my sister, your wondering how. When I was looking over the file that Boston PD had sent over to me, he looked over my shoulder and saw it and asked me about it.

"Hey," Said Spencer coming into my room with Morgan right beside him, I looked up from the book I was reading that Rossi had given me earlier. I closed it and looked at my older brother and Morgan before smiling.

"Hey," I said as I pushed myself up fully. 

"How are you feeling?" Asked Morgan sitting on my right hand side. 

"I'm okay, I'll be glad to be getting out here." I said and Spencer and Morgan just chuckled before, I heard someone shout at someone else before Hotch headed into my room. "What was that about?" I asked Hotch, raising my eyebrow at him. 

"One of the doctors thought that you deserved this," He stated and I raised an eyebrow at him before thinking. 

"Do you know what he looked like?" I asked and he nodded.

"Black hair, blue eyes. About 6,5, maybe in his mid 30s." He said and I took a harsh intake of air.

"That guy was there when our SUV exploded. He told me he shouldn't have told his brother about the killings. He had black hair blue eyes, from what I could tell on my side he was about 6 foot. I couldn't tell what age but that seems about right," I said and Hotch ran back out of the room, Jesus Christ. 

"He's not going to catch up with him," I said and I was right, about 5 minutes later Hotch came back in the room scowling. 
"We're ready to give a profile, as soon as your out of the hospital." He said and I nodded. I felt my eyes go heavy again. I started to fall asleep as Spencer gripped my hand, telling me he was right there for me.
