“Rodriguez stop right” she yelled, “***** there another exit!
Morgan, Reid out the back…” continuing down, Emily was shocked by the sight
that greeted her, “oh my god…JJ…” JJ’s prone form was still, lying next to the
body of what used to be Rodriguez’ father.

“***** Jane!” Frost ran over to his partner as Emily knelt
down next to JJ.  Scared to turn her over
she did so anyway, gently.  Hissing at
the sight of her busted lip and the bruising on her face, she tried to wake her
“JJ…JJ honey please open your eyes, you’re okay, we’re here. Frost call for an
ambulance please…”

Pulling out his cell he called dispatch for an ambulance and
texted Korsak that they had found them.

Brushing the hair from his partner’s face he was
scared.  Feeling for a pulse, he could
barely feel it. “*****.” Grabbing his cell again, he called Maura.

“Barry did you find them?”

“Yeah we did, can you…we need you in here Maura.” Hanging up
he held his partner’s hand, “hang in
there Jane.”

At the sound of footsteps he drew his weapon again,
re-holstering when he saw Morgan and Reid. “He got away, but Morgan winged him.
We notified Hotch already he’s on his way.”

“Jane…” the sound of JJ’s voice brought tears to Emily’s
eyes, “No honey its Emily, open your eyes,” Emily was shocked at the pain in
those eyes.

“Em…where’s Jane?” she tried to move but Emily held her
down.  “Don’t move okay. Just lay still.

Morgan knelt down by JJ and put his arm around Emily while
she held JJ’s hand.

Reid looked down at them stunned by the scene, the gloves on
JJ’s hands told him part of what had happened and as he looked at the dead man
with the wood sticking out of his abdomen, he knew by his proximity that JJ had
killed him.  Shaking his head he moved
down the stairs.

“Jane!” Running down past Reid, Maura dropped to her knees
by Jane.  “Oh God Jane…A, B, C’s” she
muttered as tears rolled down her face, “A, B, C’s” careful not to roll her
over she was able to tell by her posture that there were broken ribs. “Barry
what happened? Where’s Rodriguez?”

“He got away Doc”

Staring at him she looked down at Jane’s still form, “where’s
the ambulance?” she whispered. She listened to Jane’s labored breathing and
frantically stood up, “where’s the…” the sound of the sirens silenced her.  Taking a deep breath she tried to stay calm,
knowing that help for Jane and JJ was finally here.
