[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

Reid looked at Emily's stern look, and couldn't help but sit up straight, but he was a little confused about what needed to be discussed so seriously. Even when he was deeply affected by the aftermath of the kidnapping some time ago, everyone just turned a blind eye and waited considerately. He adjusted it himself, and now that everything is calm, what is there to worry about?

Yes, worry.Although he is not good at dealing with people, but as an excellent profiler, he can still tell what kind of emotion is often shown in the eyes of his partner who was born and died together, not to mention that the other party has no intention of hiding.

"Hmm..." Emily pondered for a while, but decided to get straight to the point. For Reid, playing a straight ball is far more effective than beating around the bush. "I see you and Man both have a good opinion of that girl called Michelle, that's a good girl, huh?"

"Well, yes. She is a good girl. Although she is not as pure and kind as I first thought, she sometimes takes pleasure in teasing me, but she is really a strong girl who works hard and lives optimistically." Reid obviously remembered Added fuel to the fire at the cafe the other day.

"Eh..." After all, it still involves other people's love life, Emily didn't know how to speak properly, and after deliberating for a long time, she said slowly, "Then have you considered asking her out? Such a good girl, don't hurry up But it will be snatched away by others!"

"Hey! Emily!" Reid jumped up from the chair in frustration as if he had been stepped on a sore spot, like a cat that was caught by its life and exploded. "I have said that we are just a simple relationship between a man and a woman, and we are very good friends!"

"Hey! Son, take it easy." Emily raised her hands to express that she had no other intentions, "I just think that if there is room for development, you can try it. Anyway, dating doesn't mean anything."

"I can ask Michelle to go out to dinner or watch a movie, but it's just as a friendly friend, definitely not the kind of relationship between men and women. I really don't mean that to her." Reid looked straight at her with very serious eyes Looking at Emily, he showed his seriousness.

Only then did Emily believe Reid's sincerity, took a long breath, and whispered to herself, "It's okay, okay, I'm really afraid that there will be a bloody romance drama in which he loves her and she loves him."

"What?" Reid didn't catch Emily's whisper.

"Huh? Nothing, I said to myself." Naturally, Emily wouldn't talk about her discovery about Michelle's feelings for Hotch.

At this moment, Man came over, "Hey, what are you doing? Hotch asked us to go to Gideon's office to watch his collection of Chaplin movies. It was a super rare version played on an old projector!"

"No way? Isn't there a DVD version?" Emily was extremely surprised with an expression of "people still watch projectors these days".

"Someone likes what the projector puts out these days." Reid agreed, drawing Man and Emily's helpless stares.

Gideon's office, although the film is a silent pantomime, but the inside is full of laughter.

Emily raised her head and threw a popcorn into her mouth, and passed the large bowl of popcorn in the other hand to the others.

Man and Garcia leaned together, talking and laughing loudly while stuffing popcorn into their mouths, and couldn't help laughing.

Man's face is filled with an incomparably bright smile, with smile lines all over his face.

Hotch, who rested his hands on the table and rested his chin, also had a gentle smile on his face, and the serious face with habitual frowning at work was gone.

Gideon's smile is the most joyful, with a big nose and smile lines on his cheeks, like a cute clown in a circus.

As for Reid, oh, watching the comedy with relish, suddenly felt a slight touch on the head, frowned and looked back, it turned out that JJ was enjoying the comedy with the frequency of eating one and throwing one.

The harmonious and warm scene was recorded in the depths of everyone's hearts. Even in the future, no matter how the entire team changed, everyone still felt yearning and happiness from the bottom of their hearts when they thought of this scene.

flower.many flowers.Red roses, baby's breath, button daisies. . .All kinds of flowers you can think of are accumulated here, forming a beautiful ocean.This is the largest flower street market in Prince William County, and locals love to come here to pick their favorite flowers to decorate the house, condolences to others, and, of course, for dates.

The coffee shop on the corner plays melodious songs, and the busy and leisurely pedestrians are slowly savoring the upcoming weekend.

Several couples are kissing on the side of the street, acting like no one else is romantic.Occasionally, one or two teenagers who were pedaling and gliding passed by, and the voice of "be careful, watch the road" sounded repeatedly, in exchange for pedestrians smiling knowingly.

In one of the flower shops. Facing all kinds of flowers, Gideon became worried. Sometimes he asked the shopkeeper for an introduction, sometimes he asked for purple flowers, and sometimes he decided to wait. The black guy who lined up behind him gave him helpless eyes.

The enthusiastic gypsy female shop owner patiently entertained this man who was as anxious as a young man in his first love, and by the way, she stretched out her index finger to signal "be patient" to the young man queuing behind.

At this moment, Gideon's phone rang.

After connecting, Hotch on the other end of the phone was about to speak when he heard Gideon's busy conversation with the shop owner to buy flowers, raised his brows, and was a little surprised, "You want a date?"

"No no no, I'm just going to meet my old college friends. Hotch, tell me, will the roses cause a misunderstanding?"

"What?" Hotch smiled, and it was rare to see Gideon, who has always been able to do things with ease, in such a difficult situation, the smile lines at the corners of his mouth widened.

"Welcome? How are you? Nice to meet you? And..." Gideon touched the corners of his eyes, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and curled his lips cutely, "Maybe plus I'm damn late?"

"Rose expresses more than that." After finishing this sentence, Hotch listened to the shopkeeper's decisive suggestion that taking action roses is the most effective, and also answered jokingly here, "She's right."

Gideon let out a helpless "puff puff" helpless sigh at this end, and decided to choose button chrysanthemum and baby's breath with the help of the shopkeeper.

Only then did Gideon remember to ask Hotch the purpose of calling, he didn't simply think that Hotch was just concerned about how he spent his weekend. "what do you need?"

"The security department asked me for the personnel files of certain agents." Hotch immediately resumed his seriousness at work as soon as he mentioned formality. It was obvious that this matter had troubled him for a long time.

"It's just the annual assessment, who cares?" Gideon comforted Hotch nonchalantly.

"Six months ahead of the annual review, I think it's aimed at the BAU team, maybe trying to cut budget costs. It's been a tough year, you know, what happened with Man in Chicago, what happened with Reid, Elle's greenaway suspect was killed, it all adds up." Hotch paused, "The only file they didn't ask for was mine."

"Hey, Hotch, you're the best department head I've ever met." Picking up the packaged bouquet and paying for it, Gideon joked lightly as he walked out of the florist.

Knowing that Gideon was trying to comfort himself not to worry too much, Hotch continued the conversation, "Jason, I'm the only department head you've ever met."

"Listen, all you need is to turn around, go home, kiss your family, relax..." The words came to an abrupt end, Gideon couldn't believe his eyes, walking through the crowd Gideon felt as if Seeing a blond middle-aged woman looking left and right, her face instantly merged with the face of the person she had been unable to let go of. Jane?

"Impossible." Gideon closed his eyes in disbelief and looked over again, and it was gone... Did he see it wrong?He breathed a sigh of relief, and responded to Hotch who asked with a chuckle.

As soon as I hung up the phone, the sound of "ring, ring, ring" rang again. Gideon was not surprised to see that it was Sarah's call, and quickly picked it up to apologize for being late, but he didn't expect a strange man's voice to come from over there—

"You're fascinated by birds, Jason?"
