Two Hearts, One Heartbeat
When the BAU is called to Manhattan to track down a ruthless serial offender, Dr. Spencer Reid dives into the case with his usual brilliance and quiet determination. But when the suspect turns violent during an arrest, one gunshot changes everything - and the genius profiler is rushed to Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital, fighting for his life.
Across the city, Detective Bailey Jones of the SVU is already at that same hospital, her world spinning after her own sergeant, Michael Dodds, was critically injured during a DV case gone wrong. The unit is shaken, and Bailey's heart is already heavy with grief and fear.
Then she hears someone calls out to her. It's Miranda Bailey. Miranda's voice is calm, clinical. Miranda discreetly informs her that Dr. Spencer Reid, her boyfriend, has been shot while on duty. She's listed as his emergency contact.
In an instant, two cases - two worlds - collide in one building.
As Bailey races between ICU floors, torn between duty and love, she finds herself trapped in the storm of both tragedies. The BAU is investigating one nightmare. The SVU is grieving another. And Bailey stands in the middle - watching the man she loves fight for his life while the city around her threatens to crumble.
But as the truth behind both shootings begins to unravel, Bailey realizes that coincidence might not be coincidence at all. Someone is pulling the strings... and both teams may be closer to the same darkness than they ever imagined.
"Two cases. Two tragedies. Two hearts - one heartbeat holding them together."
