I Think I'm Alone Now (Criminal Minds/ Umbrella Academy Crossover)

Chapter 4: Together again

-Rossi's Pov-

A second gunshot rang through the air as I was walking up the steps. I started running down the hallway where the sound had come from. I ran into the Study room to see Hargreeves laying on the ground. A pool of blood was slowly growing under him. Morgan was checking his pulse, but it was easy to tell the man was dead. "I'm sorry. I had to do it." The young blonde boy said, with tears running down his face and the gun still in his hand. "It's okay. Give me the gun and we will help you." I said kneeling next to the boy. He must be in some state of shock because he didn't look away from the mans body as he handed me the gun. "I-I'm Number One. that means I have to protect my siblings. I-I." the boy started to breath heavily and Morgan walked over. "Hey, it's okay. You did it. You don't have to be scared anymore. Your brother told us everything. You don't have to be Number One anymore." He said making the young boy look him in the eye. The boy sobbed unable to hold in his tears anymore, and Morgan pulled him into his arms. "Let's get you out of here." Morgan said standing up with the boy in his arms. "JJ and Prentiss are outside with some of the kids, and the medics are on their way." I said as Morgan walked by me. I pulled my phone out and typed something in my notes so that the boy wouldn't hear what I needed to tell Morgan. I handed him the phone and he read over the words. He frowned, but nodded in understanding before leaving the room with the young boy. I looked back at the words I had shown Morgan, before walking over to the body and kneeling down beside the now dead Sir Reginald Hargreeves.

"Two of the kids are being rushed to the hospital. Looks bad. Keep the boy out of the other hallway so he doesn't see anything."

-Spencer Pov-

I was helping Number Four dress in some pants and kid sized shirt that the nurses had brought. He had been asking if he could change out of the hospital gown for awhile, and it was a good distraction for him now as I waited to hear from the team.  Morgan had called me telling me about what had happened at the house.  Now the kids were all on the way here. Two were in critical condition, both of the kidnappers who were behind it all now dead. I pulled Four's head through the top of his shirt and he smiled as I straightened out his clothes. My phone rang again and I told him to wait with the nurse as I stepped outside the room to answer it.

"Hey. We're here. Two of the kids were just taken back into surgery. But the other four are with me. I figured it would be best to bring them to Four's room." JJ said as I held the phone up to my ear.

"Yea that would probably be best. Is Morgan with you?" I asked. My hands were starting to sweat, a lot of feelings were stirring inside of me knowing that I would be meeting the other kids in a matter of moments. These kids could very potentially be apart of the new family Morgan and I planned on building.

"Yes. We're stepping in the elevator now. See you soon." JJ said before hanging up.

I hung up as well and walked back into the room. "Four, can you come here?" I asked getting on my knees. He walked over to me. "What's going on Spencer? You have been acting weird all morning." He said folding his arms. "I know. It's because my team went to get your siblings out of that house you were trapped in...Your siblings are here at the hospital now. Two of them were a bit hurt so some doctors are looking over them, but they are all here." Four looked shocked at my statement. "They got out?! I can see them?" He asked. "Yes, you did it four. You helped save them." The boy had tears in his eyes, a knocking sound filled the air and we both turned to the door. It opened and four more kids were standing with JJ and Morgan. They all were just looking at each other. Like they couldn't believe what they were seeing. The four kids looked a little beat up, but the worst was the blonde boy, who had bruising around his neck. One boy with short brown hair walked up to Number Four and pulled him into a hug. "You did it Klaus." He whispered. They both started crying and the other kids ran into the room. All of them hugging each other. "Your alive Klaus!" One girl with long brown hair and bangs said with a big grin as they hugged. "W-we thought that dad had killed you!" Another boy with dark skin said hugging him. The tallest boy with blonde hair walked over last. I looked over the bruising on his neck as he pulled Klaus into a hug. I stood up and walked over to Morgan, giving him a kiss and hugging him. "We did it pretty boy." He whispered, sounding choked up as we both looked over the kids as they reunited. "what about the other two kids?" I whispered. Morgan turned to JJ and she said that she could watch over the kids. He pulled me into the hallway. "They are both in bad shape. Another girl's throat was cut by the woman who was taken by Hargreeves. And another boy was stabbed multiple times in the torso and chest when we got there...it doesn't look good. But they are both still alive right now." I sighed. "And the adults?" I asked. "Both dead. Hotch shot the woman trying to save the girl. And the young blonde boy in the room shot Hargreeves himself." I looked through the window into the room where all the kids were and I frowned. "Apparently his 'dad' told him that he was to kill us, but he shot Hargreeves instead. He said it was his responsibility to protect his siblings. So he shot him to save his brothers and sisters." Morgan said. "That is from the emotional abuse he and his siblings have suffered. He felt as if he had no choice...I don't think he will get in any trouble for that." I said. "No, but this is a huge mess. The whole time we were driving here the kids refused to be separated, and they kept asking about their sibling Klaus. Which is Number Four's given name....There will be a lot of court dates and documents and legal stuff that the adoptive parents will have to put up with." Morgan said counting things on his fingers. "The odds really aren't in their favor...unless we take them in." I said looking at Morgan. He nodded. "You think we can do this? Take care of these kids, with all this baggage they are bringing with them?" He asked. "I think we are better equipped than a lot of other foster parents would be...and I can't imagine them being separated. But the only way to keep them together is if we take them. There is no way they would survive the foster system after all this." I said. "We can talk about all that later, but we're on the same page about this yea?" Morgan asked. I nodded yes, and he kissed me. "For now all we can do it wait and see if the other two kids survive." I nodded. "But this is it isn't it? We're going all in for them aren't we?" I asked with a slight grin, despite the whole situation. "Yep, pretty boy. I wouldn't have it any other way."
