“Sleeping right now, Pen.
Can you stay with her?”

“Of course my love, anything for you.”

“We’re going to have an officer posted right outside
Garcia.”

“Morgan, do you think he’s coming after her?” Garcia didn’t
think anyone would be so bold.

“Pen, he’s coming, there’s no doubt” the look on Emily’s face
scared her. Garcia had come to the realization that Emily was out for blood.

Frost, Reid, and Korsak walked into the waiting room and
found Maura and Angela sitting next to each other holding hands and Frankie
pacing.

“How is she? Korsak asked.

“We’re still waiting, she’s been in there for awhile”
Frankie stopped his pacing.

Reid walked over to Maura and sat next to her “Maura? How
are you?”

“Spencer…thank you for before…I…thank you…” she couldn’t
find the words to express how grateful she was for his support when they found
Jane.

“Please Maura, don’t mention it…I’m just sorry this
happened.”  Sitting quietly beside her he
was surprised when she took his hand.

“Angela, this is Dr. Spencer Reid, he was there when we
found Jane”

“Dr Reid, thank you for being there for them.” Angela
extended a hand.  Unsure he took it and
was surprised at the gratitude in the woman’s eyes.  He hadn’t done anything.

Reading his mind, “you did a lot Spencer, you were there for
me, for Jane” Maura refused to let him think he had done nothing.

“I’m…I’m glad I could help.”

Frost and Korsak sat with Frankie while he updated them on
what he knew about Jane.

“What the hell is a myocardial contusion?” Korsak whispered
urgently.  Apparently Angela hadn’t been
told about that possible diagnosis.

“He…the ***** bruised her heart Korsak” Frankie growled
looking over toward his mother.

“So what does that mean?” Frost asked.

“Frost, she’s flatlined twice already.  Right now they’re trying to stop the internal
bleeding and repairing the ribs…” head in his hands he couldn’t continue.

Frost and Korsak looked worriedly at each other as they
realized their partner might not be able to beat the odds this time.

They all sat and waited, each of them lost in their own
thoughts.

Rodriguez watched as officers arrived at the hospital. “*****
the ER was out.”

Walking around to the
back of the hospital he watched the service entrance and waited for an
opportunity.  A lot went on during shift
change at a hospital.

“There!” he watched as the service truck pulled in with the
delivery of linens, moving quickly, he approached the truck from the open side
and smiled at the driver.
