Morgan laughed, “easy man, you’ll be fine. Come on Frost,
we’ll be back in a little bit Reid, I want to check in with Hotch about the
power.  It should be happening anytime
now.”

Rodriguez turned quickly to check on the stairs by the nurses
station as Morgan and Frost walked past him.
He could feel it, his opportunity to get near them.  He knew they hadn’t found the officer
downstairs yet or the alarm would have been raised already.  Walking down the hallway, he passed Reid just
as he was stepping into the hallway, almost bumping into him.

“Oh sorry,” Reid said.

Grunting an okay, Rodriguez continued to walk away from him.

Surprised and confused by the officer’s actions, Reid
followed him down the hallway. “Hey, I said I was sorry…” his voice cutoff when
Rodriguez turned the corner.

Reid stood there, surprised by the officer’s actions,
shaking his head, he walked back and started going over in his head everything
they knew about Rodriguez and tried to predict all the possible outcomes.

“*****!” Rodriguez
was spooked, he had almost come face to face with one of the agents, and there
was no way they wouldn’t know who he was.
He walked down to the stairwell and turned back around briefly.  Seeing that he wasn’t being followed he
slowed down and thought about his next move.

He was going to have to take that guy out to get into the
room.

When Emily walked in she was glad to see Maura smiling at
Jane who was awake and looking a lot better than the last time she had seen
her.  Garcia sat by the window busy on
her laptop.  Smiling at them, her eyes
sought out the brilliant blue eyes she had fallen in love with.

“Hi Jennifer” Emily found her voice suddenly thick with
emotion again and tried to clamp it down.
JJ saw her struggle for composure and gave her the time she needed
before she patted the bed with her hand.

“Hey…come sit with me?” JJ spoke encouragingly.  She knew what it was costing Emily right now
to even be in the room with them, but she was grateful nonetheless.

Emily nodded and sat on the edge of the bed.  Taking her hand, she brought it up to her
lips and kissed it before letting it go again.
The disappointment in JJ’s eyes made her hesitate but she just leaned in
and kissed her tenderly on the lips.
“Just a sec okay.”  Nodding her
understanding, JJ knew what she was doing.
She watched as Emily walked over to Jane.
