tell me what to do, Dr. Reid

Reid ran to Fiona's side.

She was unconscious, and her clothes were soaked in blood.

"No, no—" Reid murmured and stretched out his hand, pressing on her wound to try to stop the bleeding.

"Fiona, can you hear me?" he said, "Fiona!"

Fiona didn't wake up, her eyes were tightly closed, her breathing was weak, and she looked very bad.

"Call an ambulance over immediately!" Reid raised his head and shouted, "A police officer is injured! Man!"

The man is already using the walkie-talkie to contact the ambulance.

Reid's breath was trembling, and he kept calling Fiona's name.

"Fiona—fionamars! Fiona!"

Fiona's eyelids moved slightly.At this moment, Reid was ecstatic, but he was quickly pulled back by reality.Fiona's blood was all over his hands, and his hair was wet with sweat.

"Please..." He muttered with a choked voice.

Soon, ambulance personnel arrived.They rushed Fiona onto the stretcher.

Reid stood up, staring blankly at Fiona, who was being fitted with a brace around her neck by the paramedics.It wasn't until they loaded the stretcher into the car that he suddenly came back to his senses.

He didn't even bother to wipe the blood on his hands.He walked quickly to the ambulance and boarded the car.

"FBI." He explained succinctly to the paramedics.

He found a place in the car and sat down, his eyes still fixed on Fiona's unconscious face.

"She didn't realize—"

"Blood pressure dropped, 79 - still falling sharply."

"...the pupils respond."

The ambulance personnel were busy in a hurry, hooking Fiona up for infusion, putting on an oxygen mask, and injecting medicine... Her vital signs were rapidly declining.

Reid grabbed Fiona's hand.

—Her hands were as cold as ice.

He felt that all the sounds around him disappeared, and he could only hear his heart beating.

It's all his fault... If she died, then she was indirectly killed by him.

The thought of this pained him.

He was familiar with this heavy sense of guilt.He was overwhelmed with guilt once when he sent his mother to a mental institution.Now that feeling is back, and it's clearer and more painful than it was then.

"... sir?" a female voice called.

Reid looked up blankly.

"We're at the hospital," said the female paramedic.

It was only then that Reid came back to his senses, he let go of Fiona's hand, "I'm sorry."

Soon, they pushed Fiona into the emergency room.

Reid stood straight at the door of the emergency room, staring at the operating lights above, and even forgot to sit down.

Not long after, Fiona's team members Eden and the others also arrived.

"How's the situation?" Sarah asked straight to the point.

"I don't know." Reid murmured.

"Thank you," Eden stretched out his hand and pinched Reid's shoulder, "I heard that you shot and saved her."

Reid pursed his lips and said nothing.His eyes were unfocused, staring straight ahead, as if he didn't pay attention to what Eden had just said.

——Even if you are not a profiler, you can clearly feel Reid's depression at the moment.

Then, Emily suddenly appeared.

"Hotch let me see what's going on," she said, "how's it going now?"

"We don't know yet," Sarah said.

"She's very dangerous." Reid said suddenly, his voice weak and weak, "She lost too much blood...she was deeply unconscious before being pushed into the operating room." When he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the door of the operating room.

Emily sat down next to Reid, and she put her hand on his shoulder to comfort him silently.

"If she dies—" Reid said suddenly and stiffly, "it's all my fault. It's my responsibility to notify her father."

Emily took a breath and moved her lips.

"Listen, Reid—" she said.

"I know what you're trying to say." Reid interrupted her a little anxiously, "I've heard it from man several times. You want to say it's not my fault."

Emily's eyes widened in surprise.She hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Yes, that's what I want to say, because it's really not your fault. You can't predict such a thing."

"No, I can." Reid said quickly, "If it were you, or man, or any of you, you wouldn't split up with her at that time, would you? If it wasn't for my bad judgment -"

"Okay!" Emily cut him off. "Stop it, Reid. You can't drive yourself into a dead end."

Reid turned to look at her.His eyes were slightly red, but there were no tears.He gasped tremblingly, "I never told you... we kissed last time."

"Oh." Emily didn't look surprised, "—I get it, you like her."

"But I never told her." Reid looked directly into Emily's eyes, "You know what? She told me she liked me, but I didn't respond to her at the time... Do you know why?"

Emily shook her head slightly.

"Because I wasn't sure at the time." Reid's tone suddenly became irritable, and his hands on his knees clenched into fists, "I kissed her on my own initiative, Emily...but the problem is, I don't know why I Would do that out of the blue. I'm not sure how I feel about her."

His Adam's apple rolled, and he turned to look at Emily again.

"...It's a bad feeling, I feel like I'm an asshole. But she—she doesn't care about it at all," he said, suddenly falling silent.

Emily pursed her lips and patted him on the shoulder.

"She'll be fine," she reassured softly.

Fiona felt like she was standing in a narrow and dark space.

In front of him was a door with a gap opened, and a faint light came in from the outside.

She felt an inexplicable surge of fear.Trembling all over, she opened the door carefully and walked out.

The man was standing there with his back to her.The only sound in the room was his heavy breathing.

"...Dad?" she called out in fear.

The man turned quickly.

"Em?" He murmured her name, and it took a few seconds for him to snap back to his senses, "Why are you here?"

He looked particularly alarmed.Then he took a step back, as if trying to block something behind him.

"Get out!" he growled hoarsely, "Get out, em!"

But em had already seen what he was trying to block - her mother lying motionless on the bed.She also noticed spots of blood on her father's face and skirt.

She was terrified immediately, and she stayed where she was, unable to move.Soon, her lips were trembling, and she was about to cry.

"EM, don't be afraid." The man said, blocking her eyes with her hands, and hugging her, "... Hush. Don't be afraid."

"What's wrong with Mom?" She asked in a crying voice, "Is Mom hurt?"

"Mom is sick. She needs to rest." She heard the man say, "Go back to your room first, okay? Dad will take Mom to the hospital now..."

At this time, Fiona found that her perspective suddenly changed.

She was levitating, watching the young girl being taken from the room by her father covering her eyes.

Her gaze shifted to the bed.

—a woman is lying in a pool of blood.The bright, eye-burning blood soaked the entire snow-white bed sheet, and it was so hot that she could barely open her eyes.

"No—" she cried out silently.

"Don't look," said a gentle voice, "don't look, Emily—go back, to where you're supposed to be."

— that voice was strangely familiar.

Fiona slowly opened her eyes.

Her vision was very blurry, and it took a while for it to become much clearer.What appeared in front of her was the hanging bottle and the ceiling of the hospital.

"...she's awake." She heard someone say.

Then there was a dull crash, as if someone accidentally knocked over something.

Then she turned her head laboriously in the direction of the voice.

She saw Reid staring at her with wide-eyed surprise.He ignored the puddle of coffee that had just been spilled at his feet, and strode to her side.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, swallowing.

Fiona noticed that his face was pale, his eyes were deeply sunken, and he looked terrible.

"...Who are you?" Fiona asked.

Reid opened his eyes wide.

Fiona twitched her lips, "I'm just kidding, idiot." She gasped, "You look like a zombie now, Spencer."

Reid forced a smile, he cleared his throat, "You too."

Fiona muffled a laugh.

"You've been in a coma for two days," he said.

"...Have you not slept in the past two days?" Fiona asked hoarsely.

Reid didn't answer the question, but Fiona knew she was right.

At this time, a doctor in a white coat came to her in a hurry.After a detailed examination, the doctor said she was completely out of danger.

Reid breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry about me, I have a lot of life." Fiona smiled weakly, "Actually, I died once before, but I was resurrected. This time too. I think I have nine lives like a cat. "

Reid pursed his lips and smiled.He probably thought Fiona was just joking.

"Yeah, that's right," he murmured.His dark eyes kept looking at her, as if afraid that she would faint again in the blink of an eye.

Fiona stared at him intently.

She had a strange feeling, as if she hadn't seen him for a long time.Could this be the sequelae after going around under the hands of the god of death?

"...you're not going to give me a kiss because I have a tube in my nose?" she joked.

She just wanted to lighten the mood a little.

But she didn't expect that Reid actually leaned over her and pressed her lips.
