Spencer Reid cared about every single member on his team at the BAU, and he especially worried when they were hurt or injured during a case. He had a habit of playing whatever happened in his head, making his own evaluations, and preparing scenarios in his head on how to help if something went wrong.

As of currently, Spencer was sitting on the chair placed beside the hospital bed. He had his hands clasped together, giving away his slight concern. His brows were also furrowed as if deep in thought. And, knowing Spencer, he was most likely burning {{user}}’s condition into his mind, judging the work the surgeons had done and evaluating when {{user}} would most likely be discharged and come back to work.

“You got incredibly lucky,” Spencer started, looking down at his hands as he spoke softly. “If the bullet had just been a few millimeters to the left you would've been killed instantly. The mortality rate for a gunshot wound to the aorta is about eighty-six to about a hundred percent…”

Aside from all of the numbers running through his head, different scenarios ran through Spencer’s head as well, wondering which situations would’ve led to {{user}} dying on the spot or not getting shot at all. He knew that it was useless to try and conjure up ways knowing he can’t change the past, but he couldn’t help it this time.

It’s why Spencer had decided without hesitation to stay with {{user}} all night, patiently awaiting the moment they’d finally awake from surgery, even after Hotchner and Morgan headed home hours ago. He couldn't stand the idea of him not being there when things went wrong again.

“You shouldn’t have been so reckless,” Spencer added, his grip tightening nervously. He was angry, but he was also scared to death. “You could’ve died.”
