They were all worried, of course they were. He would've been worried, too. If it had been Reid--
"Could've been hurt," he murmured, brows furrowing together darkly. He wasn't, and that was a relief. But he could have been. He'd been through the worry and fear of seeing his teammates hurt, nearly dying. They were family, and he couldn't lose any of them. Reid had been hurt before, and it had been hard to deal with then, but the idea of it now was even harder to reconcile. It made sense, in some ways; they'd been working together longer now, grown closer, more connected. They often split up together out in the field, and Reid felt almost like a partner, even though none of them had just one per se. He couldn't quite make sense of it, certainly not now when he was so groggy. But there was something that had changed, shifted, somewhere along the way. He couldn't even attempt to define it right now.
Another novel. XD OMG I love threading with you. <3

But if Reid had been hurt--
"Don't ever do that again."
