"Take your tie off for once in your life."- Jason Gideon
Why?
Because
melliyna and
bessemerprocess are very persuasive people. Because, after the big release of finishing Tim-in-Peril, my WsIP are again kicking my ass, and I need a little inspiration. Fic-a-thons are very inspirational. Because I can't let other people have all the fun, and damn it, my birthday's on

Dave must have been more tired than he realized, he thought later. Because his next memory was loud. Loud and bright. Loud ATVs, coming up to Hotch and Rossi's clearing. His fight or flight response kicked in: it's Grennier, it's the unsub, oh fuck, we're gonna die.
However, the next face he saw was a sight blonder, and a fair sight prettier, then Grennier's, and Dave started to beam.
"JJ! Good of you to drop by."
"Well, we were in the neighborhood..."
And then, as he looked up, the situation got even better, as a tall brunette figure came into his field of vision.
"Yeah, Rossi, couldn't let you and Hotch have all the outdoorsy fun."
"Hey Em....oh crap, Hotch! Prentiss, we gotta get him to a hospital, his knee's all torn up, he's running a fever, and..."
Rossi then felt a light *thwack* on the back of his head.
"And *he* is sitting right here, you bossy...whatever you are."
At the almost prissy tone in their boss's voice, both Emily and JJ looked like they were trying incredibly hard not to crack up. Fortunately, at that moment, the Highway Patrol's EMTs arrived.
JJ immediately went over to help them tend to Hotch. At first Hotch seemed like he was going to attempt to get up on his own. But at one look from JJ, he seemed to think better of it, and allowed himself to be helped towards the the path.
A hand was extended towards Dave, and he thankfully grabbed it. And then almost keeled over, but fortunately Emily Prentiss, with a subtle smile on her face, kept him vertical.
"Grennier?"
"Morgan and Reid and the County SWAT team are taking care of him as we speak."
"How did you find us?"
"Wasn't hard. Thankfully Grennier and his crew are not overburdened with brains. They abandoned your SUV in a pretty visible place, and then we just trusted to the good people at the Forest Service. You were only a couple miles from the road, you would have gotten there eventually."
"Hotch was certain you kids would find us."
"Well, Hotch is a pretty smart guy. And we kids can handle ourselves pretty well when Mom and Dad are away."
Emily's smile turned into a grin, and Dave couldn't help smiling with her, as they walked out of the woods and back into civilization.
