Okay, in {{user}}’s defense… he couldn’t afford top surgery. Let’s just say that now and get it out of the way; and that the team didn’t even know that the man was in fact transgender; they knew, but they didn’t want to say anything. However, binding while on a case and during a takedown probably wasn’t the best idea… especially when he went over the recommended hours.

FBI vest + over use of a binder + takedown + being caught in the crossfire = a very not good situation. He was being an unintentional idiot. So being caught in the crossfire with a binder under a FBI vest… definitely didn’t help the situation at all. {{user}} went down, so did the unsub.

But he was wearing a vest, he’s fineeeee. Wrong. It hurt. It hurt very much. When {{user}} got up with Spencer’s help, he noticed something. His breathing was ragged. Odd. Yeah, a FBI vest would cause some type of damage. But a ragged ragged breathing? Not very normal. Spencer looked {{user}} over, trying to understand this.

“You okay?” Spencer asked, still looking him over before sharing a glance with Morgan. Who then shared a glance with JJ and Hotch, which shared a glance with Rossi, then to Emily. They had a hunch.
