"Criminal Minds" BAU staff diary

Calm and unhurt, Hotch felt relieved for the time being.

Gloria walked back and forth a few times, and shouted at the four walls in a deep voice, "I know you're watching, what do you want to do?"

When she happened to be facing someone off-screen, a mellow male voice came out of the video, "Did you know that Hayley was Hotch's first love?"

"Is this for Aaron or Hayley?" Gloria ignored his question.

"He fell in love with her at first sight. He joined the drama club for her. He pursued her for a long time...they had a sweet and long relationship, like...seven years?" Feeling the sweetness of that love, he looked at Gloria who lowered her head and bit her finger in the video, and continued, "He proposed to her, but she rejected him... Wow, this must be a big deal for him Shock, he hasn't liked anyone in five years. Guess he's waiting for her to come back, what do you say, Gloria."

"So it's because of Aaron." Gloria turned and took a few steps, leaning against the wall behind her.

"Tsk tsk... 12 years of relationship, do you think you, a girl in her early 20s, can make him forget her?" His tone was full of doubts, "Also as a man, I understand his thoughts. I guess He's just pitying you, or making fun of you for your youth, and then he'll go back to Hayley one day when he's tired of you. What do you think, Gloria?"

Gloria leaned against the wall and bowed her head for a long time without making a sound, Hotch looked at her on the screen annoyed and restless.

"I think?" Gloria exclaimed with a sneer, raised her head and circled around, walked forward with her hands on her hips and said, "Do you know what I think of you? Those who followed me stunned me with drugs , put me in your dilapidated private prison, and hide behind the computer screen and yell at me to sow discord, just to tell me these useless nonsense?"

"Useless nonsense?" He laughed twice, and the laughter echoed in the empty secret room, which seemed a little cold and scary, "The man's little tricks have captivated you? You never thought that he did to Hayley before. How many more romantic things have happened? What he did to her was out of love, and to you...in my opinion, just to possess your body..."

"This... this," Hotch heard off-screen and was about to explode, he took a deep breath and calmed down, "Crazy."

Gloria leaned sideways, crossed her hands in front of her chest, raised her head calmly and smiled, "Hey! Can you hear me out? It seems that you have followed me for a long time and put so much thought into it. Now I have a chance Talking to you, let me tell you what I think about you. What crime did you commit and was caught by Aaron in prison, and now you have nothing so you want to take revenge on him?"

Soon she denied her hypothesis, and deliberately put on a look of disgust, "I don't think... a person like you can't make any big case enough to alarm the behavior analysis team."

Before he regained the right to speak, she guessed again: "Or because you are not qualified enough, you want to be Aaron's colleague but you are not accepted by him, so you want to declare war on him?"

"No, no, no," Gloria shook her head with her hands on her hips, raised her head and frowned, and said solemnly, "This is even more impossible. How could you have the opportunity to send your resume to him?"

"Oh! I got it!" Gloria clapped her hands exaggeratedly as if discovering a new world, and said with affirmative tone: "You must be at home all day with nothing to do, and you saw Aaron while watching TV on the sofa, and you started to envy him ...and then you accidentally met him on the road and thought he was nothing special, so you started to feel jealous, so you wanted to get revenge on him by catching me. Oh... I have to say, you are so pathetic .”

"... This is the end of my conversation with you." He suppressed his anger and ended the conversation with her.

The video ended, Hotch looked at JJ, "Is there a way for Garcia to adjust the resolution or use other methods to get what Rial said?"

JJ spread his hands helplessly.

Morgan looked at Hotch. "She seems to have pissed him off."

Gideon continued: "But she didn't look scared, she knew he wouldn't even stand in front of her."

Elle looked at Reid who was writing and drawing in the notebook, "What is that?"

"She took eight steps while circling back and forth, 21 steps while shouting at the wall in turn, then moved one step, took fourteen steps when turning around, took seven steps in place while leaning against the wall, and walked forward when she akimbo Moved one step, punched nine steps while crossing hands, swayed left and right two steps while crossing hips, moved one step while clapping hands..." Reid looked down at the numbers on the notebook and studied.

"What is she trying to tell us?"

"I'm still looking at...it shouldn't be too complicated..." Reid answered in a low voice while marking the corresponding letters under the numbers, "huang, ai, ba..."

"What does that mean?" Hotch looked at Reid anxiously.

"Before she fainted, she should have seen his appearance, yellow hair, short stature, the one behind...maybe he is white."

"From what he said, it's not difficult to hear that this matter is aimed at you. Do you have any impression of him?" Gideon asked Hotch.

"I..." Hotch began to recall, "I can't remember everyone..."

"You know what to do, Hotch..." Morgan reminded, "He's timid and doesn't have the confidence to talk to people, but he's upset with you and can't help but whisper in your hurry Complaining next to you. You may not have noticed him at all, but as long as you remember well, you will remember that someone whispered next to you, and you didn’t even realize that he was talking to you, let alone listened to him. What is it..."

"He knows you well, and he may have hated you for years, but he's only doing it now. He's not covering his face, he's fighting to the death, it's not something a coward should do..." Elle Some doubts.

"...I think he's suffering from some fatal disease, he's dying..." Hotch felt very uneasy, "I have to remember his face..."

"You need time, and you need some space," Gideon suggested, "Why don't you go back to the office and think about it, and leave the matter here to us."

"OK..." Hotch just turned around and looked back at JJ, "Watch the next video first."

JJ opened the file, and Hayley was walking back and forth restlessly on the big screen.

"Hayley." The sudden voice startled her to look around.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Hayley's voice remained.

"Look, I have a few questions." The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and he leaned into the microphone and said, "Why did you reject Hotch's marriage proposal? Don't you love him?"

"No," Hayley denies, "not because of that."

"So you still love him?"

Hayley walked back and forth with his left arm propped on his right hand and his chin bowed on his left hand, without answering his question.

"I'll take it as your acquiescence." The man clasped his hands, and said with great regret, "You shouldn't give up on him. After seven years of relationship, you still have a chance of winning. Why don't you fight for it?"

"He already has a girlfriend."

"His girlfriend? That girl in her 20s? They've only known each other for a long time. Men are greedy for new things. As long as you work harder, he will come back."

"You don't understand Aaron, he's not that kind of guy."

"Really? I don't think you know that Hotch still keeps the engagement ring he bought you earlier? Maybe he's been waiting for you to come back, so you still want to give it up?"

Reid looked at Hotch.

"..." Hayley looked forward with a look of anticipation in his eyes, which made Hotch startled.

"That can't be…" Hayley said softly.

"Hey! Hayley, love is selfish, show a little courage, Hotch is still yours!" the man urged.

"..." Hayley suddenly became angry: "You locked me here just to interfere in my private life? What's wrong with you?"

"Don't be angry," the man laughed twice, and said in a gentle tone: "You have always tolerated Hotch, and being a gentle, virtuous and caring girlfriend is very good. I think Hotch likes you very much. But Hayley , Hotch, has he fulfilled even one or two small wishes of yours?"

Hayley ignored him.

"Did you know? I have a photo here, I'll show you." Not long after the words were finished, a photo appeared on the floor of the secret room, and Hayley couldn't help but glanced at it, feeling a little sour in his heart.

"It's a bit childish, right? They look happy. But I always feel that they are less like a couple, and more like a brother and sister," the man laughed sarcastically, "What do you think? Hayley."

"Mind your own business." Hayley replied in a low voice, not seeming so disgusted in her tone.

"Did you know that Hotch went to pick her up from school when he was so busy at work? He also brought flowers, red roses, which is really romantic. After chasing you, did he do these things?" The man paused, and replied: "I Don't think so. Sure enough, he is just an ordinary man, and there is no need to cherish what he has."

"Shut up," Hayley said in a low voice.

"Kissing your lover on the Ferris wheel, is it what every girl wants? Do you want to do it very much, and you have mentioned it to him many times, but he has never had time to accompany you, or...he doesn't Don't want to go with you?"

Hayley didn't make a sound.

"But it's different now. He took the initiative to take her there. These should belong to you, shouldn't they? You accompanied him through the rough times of youth, and gave him all your youth. You have tasted all the ups and downs and achieved what you are now. He, but now..."

Reid looked at Hotch again.

"His tenderness was given to another person. She didn't experience what you have experienced. She only needs to enjoy his love. I think this is really unfair!" The man seemed a little bit aggrieved, and then said softly : "Just because of your one rejection? He gave up on you forever? She shouldn't take your place, what do you say? Hayley."

"Shut up!" Hayley looked at the screen and growled softly.

"When you..." the man said relentlessly.

"I told you to shut up!" Hayley was completely angry. "What the hell are you trying to do!"

"I'm just stating the facts, Hayley," he said after a pause, "I do need your help with something."

Hayley looked suspiciously at a white medicine bottle, a bottle of mineral water and a plastic cup thrown in, "What is this?"

"Do you want to get out of here, Hayley."

"What do you want!" Hayley felt his scalp go numb.

"As I said, Gloria is the only obstacle between the two of you. Prepare this cup of sleeping pills and send her to heaven..." The man said in a leisurely tone, "Hotch is yours now."

"You're insane!" Hayley growled under his breath, walking back and forth with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Hayley, I like you more than Gloria, so I'll give you a chance first. If you don't accept it, I'm afraid she won't let you go later. After all, you don't know her well, do you?" He challenged: "Make the right choice for yourself, Hayley."

Reid looked at Hotch again.

About 5 minutes later, Hayley squatted on the ground, poured half a bottle of sleeping pills into a plastic cup, crushed them and added half a glass of water, and said in a trembling voice, "Where is she?"

"Wow, Hayley, how jealous you are of her." He looked at her on the screen, secretly happy in his heart.

"You can't do anything, don't you?" Hayley forced himself to stand up calmly, holding the glass of water and facing the people off-screen.

"No..." Hotch found this Hayley strange.

A key was thrown into the secret room, and Hayley picked it up to open the small door on the right, and the screen was switched to the secret room that Gloria closed.

Gloria was threatened by him to tie herself up as she watched Hayley approach from the left as the door closed behind her.

"What are you doing?" Gloria looked at the aggressive Hayley in horror, shaking her legs desperately.

"Go to hell." Hayley squatted down facing her, then moved to the side, squeezed her mouth open with one hand, and poured the glass of water into her mouth with the other.

"Hmm... um..." Gloria kicked her legs a few times in fear, slowly closed her eyes, and tilted her head to the left.

"..." Morgan watched the time bar of the video reach the last moment in shock, and turned his head to look at them in disbelief, "Gloria..."

"No..." Hotch's heart skipped a beat, before his vision darkened a bit, he said "Hayley wouldn't do that", gathered strength under his feet, and walked towards the office.

Everyone watched him leave in amazement, and when they were at a loss, they saw Reid writing and drawing in the notebook again, "Right ten, left nine, right seven, left two, pause, left one, right one, left one, pause , fourth from left..."

"Reid..." Elle looked worriedly at him who was frowning and thinking, "It's impossible for her to..."

"Ten, nine, seven, 21, one, fourteen, jiguan, organ." Reid frowned and looked at them.

"Hotch was right, Hayley wouldn't do that, Gloria is alive." Gideon gave him an appreciative look.

The author has something to say: Hayley appears very rarely, but it feels like she won't be the kind who pesters Hotch to do something...

Apparently, Gloria is the kind of guy who bothers Hotch...

The two are about to have a revolutionary friendship 2333333

I think that Unsub is me [far eye...

☆、Tell me your choice③

Gloria's hands were tied behind her back, her legs were tied together, and she was slumped on the ground.

Hayley walked around in panic, glanced at her, cheered herself up and looked forward, "She's dead, can you let me go?"

There was a burst of laughter from all around, and the man asked softly, "How do I know if she is really dead?"

"What?" Hayley sneered, turned and pointed at her, "If you don't believe it, you can come and see for yourself."

"Gloria, do you think I was discovered by you when I was following you, and I'm not as smart as you?" The man stretched out the microphone, leaned comfortably on the chair, and looked at the woman lying motionless on the ground in the picture, "You Aren't you tired of holding water in your mouth for so long?"

Hayley shook her head with a resigned smile, while Gloria was still lying on the ground motionless.

"Since the very beginning, you have been provoking me and trying to force me to stand in front of you? How could I be so easily fooled?" The man laughed at himself, "Actually, you are right, I really only want to Dare to hide in the dark. But you know what? Growth may not change a person, but it will always make people learn to accept themselves."

"Are you crazy? She's dead!" Hayley yelled at him, throwing her hands out angrily.

"Tsk tsk... Hayley, you are still so gentle even when you speak loudly, why did you make the wrong choice?" The man sighed regretfully, "What I gave you was not a sleeping pill at all. Although you didn't intend to kill her , but colluded with her to play a good show..."

"You're crazy." Hayley turned sideways wordlessly.

"Unfortunately, I sent the video just now to Hotch, and you are clamoring for his little girlfriend to die in it. Do you think that Hotch, who thought Gloria was dead, would come to save you? I think it is Will."

"Gloria didn't even give me a chance to persuade her to kill you, do you think you'll favor her when Hotch chooses?" The man smiled expectantly, "But I've always been a fair person. Wait. When Hotch arrived and found that Gloria was not dead, he wouldn't be partial to her, would he?"

"What do you want?" Hayley looked forward suspiciously.

Gloria raised her head and spat out the water, then sat up from the ground relying on the strength of her waist and legs, leaning her back against the wall, staring blankly ahead, "Hayley, don't talk to him."

"Lock yourself with her," a handcuff was thrown outside, and a small red dot appeared on Hayley's chest, "or I'll let you die now."

Hayley picked up the handcuffs, sat down next to Gloria, handcuffed himself to her, and held up his hands above his head to show him that the red dot on his chest disappeared.

In the headquarters meeting room.

"We've established that he's low self-esteem and timid, but he sounds confident in his voice," Elle said.

"He may be engaged in a job that does not require too many social activities but requires constant conversations with people, but he cannot be hired by a regular large company. He may work in some small companies that are not in the mainstream." Morgan guessed.

"This job doesn't have much prospects, but he feels that he is very useful. When compared with Hotch, he feels more psychologically unbalanced." Gideon mentioned.

"...I thought of a possibility." Listening to what they said, JJ said: "There is such an organization, they have many employees who answer the phone non-stop every day. Usually the people who call are people who need to talk, employees Most of them just listen to..."

"That's right," Reid propped up his body leaning on the chair and looked at them. "He thinks he helped them a lot, but he didn't get the recognition he deserved."

"That's not surprising..." JJ explained: "Most of the people who call are just complaining one-sidedly."

Everyone looked at JJ curiously.

JJ helped his forehead, looked at them with a smile, "I tried."

"Why? Is there anything you're unhappy about?" Reid asked abruptly.

In fact, the others were also very worried. Seeing that Reid took the lead, they all looked at JJ worriedly.

"It's about my missing 11-year-old sister, but it's over, I'm fine." JJ looked at them comfortingly, and stepped forward to meet Hotch who had just arrived.

"Here's his portrait, let's go to Garcia."

A group of people walked towards the computer room, Reid caught up and stood beside Hotch, "Gloria is fine, she even sent out a signal of "organization"..."

Hotch settled down and looked at him gratefully, "Thank you, Reid."

Garcia found a hundred people through a series of information they gave, and was confirming one by one against the portrait given by Hotch.

"Slut, bitch, follow my call and show up!" Garcia obviously ignored the crowd behind him.

"Ahem..." Morgan reminded her twice.

Garcia clicked the mouse and blinked, and couldn't help feeling annoyed when she wanted to turn around but found the person in the portrait, and happily forgot Morgan's two coughs, "Oh! Little bitch, you can't escape my magic !"

Morgan raised his forehead.

"LucasSmith... that bitch's name," Garcia flipped through the address, "Oh...he recently spent all his savings to rent a place... something like a prison? With high-tech equipment? What is the world like? crazy……"

"Give us the address, Garcia."

"Pennsylvania Avenue 3..." Hearing the steps of a group of people behind him, Garcia swung his clenched right fist with his back to them, "Come on! Give the bitch some color!"

"You're right," Hotch had just walked a few steps away, and suddenly turned around to echo, "He's a bitch."

After speaking, he walked straight out under the surprised eyes of everyone as if nothing had happened.

"Oh..." Garcia straightened her back while sitting on the chair, and said to herself, "It feels like the Republican Party has joined the Democratic Party, huh?"

After the group arrived, Reid looked at Hotch worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Hotch took the gun from his waist and looked back at him before entering combat mode, "When she comes back, I'm going to marry her."

"Oh, oh, OK." When Reid frowned and wanted to ask something, he pressed down again, and like him, he took off the gun that Hotch gave him that was waiting for someone to snatch it from him at any time.

After a group of people went in, they found where Lucas was and surrounded him.

"Let them go." Hotch's voice was steady.

"I know you must remember me," Lucas said in a mellow voice, "Just stand outside the door, don't jump out and scare me..."

"Otherwise..." He moved the commander in his left hand, "Maybe I won't know which one I've killed if I miss it."

"..." Hotch looked distractedly at Gloria on the big screen, and tightened the gun in his hand, "What do you want?"

"Hey, ladies!" Lucas moved his left hand to turn on a switch, so that everyone inside and outside could hear each other's words, "The Hotch you've been thinking about is here."

"Aaron?" Hayley's voice.

"It seems that your time of death has come." Gloria's provocation.

"Gloria, I have to say that you are really interesting..." Lucas held the conductor again with his left hand, "I forgot to tell you that I was half lying in a coffin, do you think I'm still afraid of death?" ?”

"I'll let Garcia see if there's a way to break his mechanism," Morgan whispered to Gideon.

"What do you want? Lucas." Hotch asked in a low voice.

"What do I want..." Lucas laughed as if hearing something funny, "I want one of them to die with me."

"That's impossible, I know it's all for me, you let them go... whatever you want, I'll give you." Hotch started to sweat on his forehead.

"Sounds good, doesn't it? Ladies." Lucas asked the people in the secret room with satisfaction.

Neither of them returned his words.

"Don't remember what I just told you? Solicit votes for yourself." Still no one answered him, "Gloria, you come first."

Gloria smiled disdainfully, and calmly untied the knot tied behind her.

"Gloria abstains, Hayley?"

Before Hayley could speak, Gloria murmured, "Ignore him."

"Hotch, this is so touching. What kind of blessing did you cultivate in your previous life to get these two women?" Before Hotch could answer, he continued, "They all abstained. Now it's up to you..."

Lucas moved the director in his left hand from Gloria to Hayley, "I'll keep one for you, just tell me your choice."

"This is ridiculous." Gideon realized that Lucas had no chance of surrendering.

"Lucas, I know what kind of person you are," Hotch still held a glimmer of hope, "You are seriously ill, and you have no courage to face the pain caused by the disease. You want to die, and you don't even have the courage to commit suicide. Actually You know I never did any harm to you, you just want us to end your life this way..."

"Don't talk about those useless things, tell me your choice." Lucas didn't look back.

When Hotch spoke again, he interrupted: "If you haven't chosen yet, then I'll help you choose!"

In the secret room, Gloria lowered her head and untied the knot in her hands, while Hayley closed her eyes in fear.

"No! You let them go, I will help you..."

"I know us men," Lucas interrupted again, "especially responsible men like you..."

Gloria was about to untie the knot in her hand, and she looked sideways at Hayley, realizing that the red spot on her body had never moved.She suddenly remembered what Reid had said, and she realized that Lucas had planned to kill Hayley from the beginning.

"You always feel guilty when someone dies because of you..."

"...Hayley?" Hearing her voice, Hayley turned slightly to look at her, and couldn't help frowning at her reddened eye sockets.

"God opened too many windows for you, but didn't close that door for you..."

"...tell Aaron...I love him." Before Hayley could react, Gloria was already throwing herself on top of the handcuffs.

"I just want to leave you endless..." Noticing the movement on the computer screen, Lucas subconsciously pressed the commander in his right hand, and stood up angrily when he saw Gloria was shot, "Why are you! Can't ..."

Hearing the sound of gunshots, a group of people looked towards the curtain subconsciously. The gun in Hotch's hand almost slipped. He regained his grip on the gun, stepped forward angrily and slapped the commander off his hand, and grabbed his collar hard. Meeting his cowardly eyes, he put the muzzle of the gun on Lucas' neck, "Sonofbitch! Tell me the password of the agency!"

"...I...I won't tell you," Lucas clasped his hands nervously, and stammered, "...kill me..."

"Password!" Hotch moved the gun away and put one hand around his neck.

"Garcia remote control..." Morgan looked at Hotch who seemed to be breathing fire.

"No!" Lucas looked at Hotch tremblingly as he watched the mechanism being cracked, "Kill me..."

"Inyourdreams! Dreaming!" Hotch raised his hand and knocked him unconscious on the ground with the butt of his gun.

Meanwhile, Elle calls an ambulance.

"Rial...!" The anger in Hotch's eyes was gone, he staggered into the secret room as if he had lost his soul, knelt beside Gloria whose waist was stained with blood, held her left hand and put it on his frowning brow, Let the tears flow silently.A feeble call trembled from his throat, but she couldn't change her open eyes, "Staywithme..."

"Aaron..." Hayley behind him tried to comfort him, but he didn't pay attention at all.

It was as if, in this world, there were no more people except him and her.

Gideon helped Hayley who was still sitting on the ground looking at them both at a loss, Reid looked at Gloria lying on the ground, frowned, blinked, curled his lips, turned around, took Hayley and walked out.

Morgan walked up behind Hotch and crouched beside him to check Gloria's injuries.

Gideon looked helplessly at the helpless Hotch at the moment, and suddenly realized——

He can't do this anymore. He can't do this job anymore.

Just can't.

The author has something to say: Uncle Rousi is going online soon, so old G has to go offline

It suddenly occurred to me that Sherry is also blond and blue-eyed, so you can contact JJ to get a sense of JJ's presence

Does anyone know why Gloria is blocking the gun?But the next chapter will talk about 0.0

☆, a crucial choice

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Hotch was still waiting anxiously outside the emergency room.

Elle accompanied Hayley to the headquarters to take a statement, Morgan stood by Hotch as a backup, and Reid sat with Gideon on the bench outside the emergency room.

"Hotch, she'll be fine." Hotch nervously lay on the door outside the emergency room, looking in through the transparent glass in the middle. Morgan didn't know what else to say to comfort him.

"She can't be okay." Hotch's hands lying on the door were trembling with worry, and Morgan shook his head worriedly.

On the other side, Reid propped his chin on his hands and frowned silently praying in his heart that Gloria would survive this disaster.

He couldn't help looking in the direction of the emergency room, and his feet kept shaking due to anxiety.

When he turned his head inadvertently, he realized that Gideon's expression was a little dull, "Gideon?"

After being called out by him, Gideon withdrew his leaning body, raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose to look at him, "..."

Seeing Gideon hesitate to speak, Reid couldn't help worrying about him, "Do you want to go back and rest?"

Hotch had told them to go back, and they were all determined to stay.

Gideon shook his head, leaned forward again, looked at Hotch sadly, and looked at him apologetically, "...I brought you to the behavior analysis team, will you be disappointed if I quit by myself?"

"I...I don't know." Reid looked at him puzzled.

"I hope you can stay." Gideon tilted his head to look forward, emptied his thoughts, and seemed a little numb, "When I saw Hotch kneeling beside Gloria, I suddenly realized the profession I have been sticking to for decades And the faith that this profession gave me...they took away all the other precious things in my life..."

"...you..." Reid suddenly felt his heart was blocked by a big stone, and it took him a long time before he could speak, "Are you going to leave?"

"I...I'm sorry," Gideon looked at him reluctantly, but said firmly, "I've lost everything."

"...I can understand what you said," Reid silently lowered his head, a tear slipped down accidentally.Too many things happened in one day, he curled his lips and asked, "Do they know?"

"No," Gideon shook his head, "I want to be the first to tell you."

Reid raised his hand to wipe away his tears, raised his head and pursed his lips reluctantly, "Thank you."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Gideon took the lunch box and handed it to Hotch after Morgan's three failures.

"You've got to eat, she won't want to see you down when she comes out." Hotch hadn't eaten for a day.

"I know," Hotch stared at the situation inside, "I just don't have an appetite..."

When Gideon wanted to say something more, he saw that Hotch's face relaxed a little, and everyone followed his gaze and lowered their bodies slightly to look in.

The doctor was coming out of the ward where Gloria was undergoing surgery. Looking at the expectant eyes outside the door, he couldn't help dragging his tired body and nodded slightly towards them.

"She's okay...thank God." The crowd couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Hotch still looked in with his lowered body.

He sees the doctor and leaves quickly
