With Liam away on vacation, Emma was the lead agent in charge. Liam was due back in the morning, well, not back to work but back home. When Brie had started to get direct threats, Emma thought it best to put her in protective custody. Mick insisted she be assigned with the other agents to keep an eye on the woman, and Emma had agreed to it. But now that Brie was under lock and key, the man stalking her and killing prostitutes in her name was getting angrier. He'd slipped up, finally. He'd left a print at the last scene, and he was in the system. They'd gone to his house to apprehend him, but he wasn't there. Instead, there were clues as to who he'd be after next, and a location. An abandoned warehouse. Emma and Wyatt were enroute to his apartment when Micah had called to tell them that Kyle Pratt wasn't there, and that he might be at the warehouse location. She and Wyatt were closer, so they went ahead, thinking a woman's life was in danger.

When they got there, Emma took the lead, her gun in hand. She could hear noises, though she wasn't sure what they were. The others would be there soon with backup, but for now she was focused on hopfully saving the woman she assumed Pratt had.

Part of Liam really wanted to just stay and hide. He could crawl into bed with Reagan and curl up against him.

"I love you so much," he exhaled, adoring the way Reagan kissed him like that. It would be impossible not to worry about him, but he knew he needed to do this first hospital visit with just the team.

Finally, he got up and headed out the door. He drove to Chancellor's to pick him up and then arrived at the hospital a little while later.

Once Liam arrived with Chancelor, everyone took some time to talk with him. Mick was quiet, though, too quiet and it was difficult to ignore. When Wyatt came out of surgery and once they got him into the recovery room, he was only allowed one visitor at a time and he asked for Micah first, so Micah headed back to the room they had his boyfriend in. Boyfriend. They hadn't ever really made things official, but that's what Wyatt was and Micah knew it.

Slipping into the room, he frowned in worry and went over to where Wyatt was. He reached out and took his hand to press a kiss to it.

"Hi," he said softly, not even sure if Wyatt was still awake.

Wyatt was drifting in and out of it, the medications they had him on strong enough to make him feel almost weightless. But when Micah come into focus, he really tried to keep with it and wake up.

"Micah," he exhaled and squeezed the man's hand as best as he could. He was so relieved to see him, make absolutely certain that the man was there and safe. What if there had been more traps? The world had suddenly become a very uncertain place for Wyatt and he was thankful that Micah was safe.

	Micah lifted Wyatt's hand up to his lips to press a soft kiss against the back of it before he dipped his head down to do the same to the younger man's mouth. "I'm right here, we're all here," he assured, "Liam and Chancellor are here, too. Outside with Mick, Beckett, and Jude's here too," he said. "How are you feeling?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Wyatt let his eyes close, though he tried to keep alert, listening to Micah. "I'm okay," though it was only because he was really trying to keep himself from thinking too hard about what had happened. The very thought that Emma might be gone was just as difficult to deal with now as it had been when she lay dying in his arms.

"What about Emma? Is it--" official, he wanted to say, but he couldn't bring himself to make it sound like business.

Micah was well aware of the fact that he'd probably have to be the one to tell Wyatt about Emma, but knowing that hadn't prepared him. He half hoped Liam would be the one to do so, because Liam seemed so good at that sort of thing, but Micah knew it had to be him.

"She's gone," he said softly, "I'm sorry..." Because he knew how close Wyatt was to Emma. She was almost a big sister to him.

Wyatt was quiet for a very long time and for awhile, it seemed like he wasn't going to say anything at all for the rest of the night. He laid there, looking at the blank television set mounted on the wall in his room. It was an old tube-set and he could see himself and Micah reflected in its black surface.

"In 102 years of operation, the FBI has only had a little over 50 agents killed in the line of duty. The odds of Emma being killed are--" he shook his head. "The odds are stacked in our favor. Out of all of the FBI agents doing dangerous things on a daily basis, only 52 have died. 52. That's hardly any." And now Emma was one of them.

	"Sometimes - just, sometimes things happen," Micah said softly with a frown. He dipped his head down and brushed a kiss against Wyatt's forehead, closing his eyes, squeezing them shut. "I wish that there was something I could do or say to make it better, but I know there's nothing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Things don't just happen," he shook his head. When Micah got close enough for Wyatt to grab, he clutched on to his clothes, curling his fingers in his shirt and practically dragging him into bed with him. He didn't care about the IV or his leg, he just wanted Micah closer.

Maybe he'd figure out a reason for Emma's death. He hoped to find some sort of mathematical or philosophical or scientific reason that made her death inevitable. If only it could make sense.

Micah pulled him in close and just held onto him tightly. He swallowed hard as his eyes welled up, and he dipped his head down so that he could press nose against the curve of Wyatt's neck. He hated thinking that he was lucky, lucky he still had Wyatt when they'd lost Emma. He felt incredibly guilty, but Wyatt meant so much more to him than Emma had.

"I'm so sorry," he whispered softly.

He hadn't completely broken down yet, just small pieces of him were falling away. The fullness of this situation probably wouldn't set in for awhile. All of the drugs in his head were making him groggy, unable to fully realize everything at once. That was probably a blessing.

Leaning back a little, he put his hand to his forehead. "What do they have me on? I tried to ask the nurse but she said I shouldn't worry my head about it. Doesn't she know I worry my head about all sorts of things?"

	"Morphine, I assume," Micah said as he pulled back, and he couldn't help but smile a little at Wyatt's words. He wanted to break down and cry, but he swallowed back the urge and dipped his head down to press a soft kiss against Wyatt's lips. "I'm sure you'll make her well aware," he mumbled quietly.

	"After I see the others, will you come back and stay with me?" He didn't know if that was asking too much and the expression on his face was sheepish, worried. He glanced at the chair where Micah would be sleeping and he made a little face because he knew it would probably be pretty uncomfortable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course, I was planning on doing that anyway," Micah said as he pressed another kiss to Wyatt's mouth, and then his cheek. "Liam's here, I'm sure he really wants to see you," he added as he swept his fingers through the younger man's hair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Exhaling with relief, Wyatt offered the smallest of smiles. "I'd like to see Chancellor too." Liam would tell him the right things. Liam always said the right things, but right now Wyatt wasn't sure that's what he wanted to hear. Not that Liam was insincere, but sometimes Chancellor could be more real.

Really, he wanted to see everyone and he planned to try, though he wasn't sure he had the strength to do it.

	"I'm sure he wants to see you as well, everyone does," Micah said as he moved to get up. "I'll be back once you ask for me, okay?" he told Wyatt, reaching out to gently touch his face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Micah's presence really was calming. The prospect of him leaving didn't sit well with Wyatt, but he trusted that he would return. He reached up to touch Micah's hand as it touched his face, but he offered a brave smile and let him go. (Reply to this)(Parent)
