[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

Hotch didn't show anything, just calmly asked Michelle and the others to sit down, his eyes swept across the crowd, and when Michelle passed by, Michelle felt that her nervous heart seemed to be jumping out of her throat.But Hotch's eyes just stopped for a while, Michelle still couldn't see anything in the still bottomless pool.

Sure enough... When Hotch really doesn't want others to find out her mood, she, a rookie, can't read a trace of emotion at all.Fortunately, she was complacent before, it seems that either Hotch did it on purpose, or he was defenseless in front of her. Michelle thought sullenly, is he going to take back her right now?

Reid and Emily, who were sitting on the sidelines, saw this scene, looked at each other at the same time, and glanced at Rossi next to Hotch.He and Hotch are seniors, and they have always been teachers and friends, so he knows Hotch's feelings quite clearly.

Unexpectedly, Rossi just raised his eyes faintly, and shook his head slightly, the amplitude was almost invisible.This meant telling them not to meddle in their own business. Emily and Reid were instantly discouraged, and even Rossi meant the same thing. Could it be that the situation was unexpectedly difficult this time?

Jordan, the new BAU agent who took over JJ's job, didn't realize that the meeting room was turbulent at this time. Seeing that everyone was here, he prepared to introduce the target information he just got to everyone.On the other hand, On, who was sitting by the side, saw the interaction of the crowd, curled his mouth, and smiled playfully.No wonder, Agent Hoter reacted like that before...

"Steve Jinks. He used to be a policeman in New Orleans, but he was later transferred to Washington ATF due to work." He just clicked on a photo, like the BAU agents introducing the mission goal, but Jordan found that everyone except On and Hotch The line of sight involuntarily looks in one direction, or surprised, or worried, or clear.

She also looked over habitually, the new girl was said to be Hotch's girlfriend.How is this going? Jordan raised his eyebrows and looked at Man, who had always been the friendliest to her. The latter touched his nose in embarrassment, and introduced in a low voice, "We have all seen him in the shop where Evans worked before."

Man secretly glanced at his own leader, and Jordan could understand with a lower volume, "This Jinks seems to have a good relationship with Evans."

Good relationship? Jordan inexplicably heard another layer of meaning in Man's words, nodded clearly, pretended nothing happened, and continued.

"Because he was newly transferred not long ago, and his work ability is also outstanding. The ATF sent him as an undercover agent to solve a cigarette smuggling case before. The smuggling group that successfully smashed the other party has not returned to his identity. I found him because of his identity."

Jordan stopped talking at this point, and looked at Agent On, who had been watching from the sidelines. The latter got up knowingly, and took Jordan's words: "He is very good as an undercover agent, and he is a newcomer. Others don't like him." It’s good to find out his old undercover. What’s more, his undercover identity has not been exposed, so he can better penetrate into the smuggling group. Of course, we have also made several preparations and let other undercover agents go in together, but we don’t know each other’s identity. identity, which can largely avoid being caught in the net.”

On stopped and looked at Michelle. The girl was staring at Hotch intently, but the FBI agent, who was always very sensitive to people's gaze, turned a deaf ear this time, looking down at the document in his hand. A smirk curled up on the corner of On's mouth, he had clearly read this document for a long time before.

Can't help but chuckle, On waved his hand to signal that he doesn't need to care, his eyes moved away from Michelle, but the topic revolved around her: "Officer Jinks has no other relatives as far as we know, and the non-disclosure agreement he signed before Mentioned..." On stopped talking again, and looked at Michelle with a subtle expression——

"If one day he dies, all his estate and government subsidies will go to Michelle Evans."

Everyone was really surprised at this moment. Qiqi looked at Michelle, but saw that she also had an overly surprised expression, her round eyes fixed on On who said this sentence.

Little did they know that Michelle's heart was also turbulent at this time, with all kinds of feelings in her heart.When on approached her before, he only revealed that she was the only person Steve cared about, and that she was the object of protection he confessed, and he never told her about it. Michelle remembered the specious words that this person had said in front of Hotch before, and her impression of him fell to the bottom in an instant.

——This is a petty-minded man who has no scruples.

Of course Michelle could see his vague hostility towards Hotch, and she wouldn't pretentiously think it was because of her.And as long as someone is interested, he can naturally see the relationship between her and Hotch before. This man has been provoking Hotch with Steve's affairs, whether he is narrow-minded or not!

Michelle looked at the man with a smile on his lips, he was so ruthless!Regardless of whether such a provocation will become a provocation to their relationship, this man!

Hotch finally met Michelle's eyes, and Michelle was taken aback, the eyes were as calm as ever, without any irritation or anger.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Hotch spoke slowly, with the same tone of voice as usual: "Do you know all this? Including what Inspector On said, you are the lover of Officer Jinks?"

It was obviously a quiet tone, but Michelle felt a panic in her heart, and hurriedly denied:

"No! All of this was said by Inspector On himself. I didn't know anything until he explained it."

Michelle wasn't sure if she saw a hint of amusement and admiration in Hotch's eyes, but she just said in her own way, "I admit that Steve did chase me. But from the beginning to the end, I only promised one person to be his daughter." friend."

"Aaron Hoter." Michelle didn't think about being reserved or embarrassing at this time, she just wanted to explain all this to one person, no matter where she was now, no matter who was around now.

"I guess I don't need to introduce my boyfriend to everyone anymore, Inspector On?" Michelle made sure she gritted her teeth and spit out the last few words.

"It's really not necessary." On smiled nonchalantly, and looked narrowly at the girl with fried hair in front of him, the arc of the corner of his mouth that never disappeared continued to rise, revealing a trace of malice, "I just need you to explain to everyone why I will choose to take you away in such a panic."

this man! Michelle bit her lower lip tightly, so hard that her entire lip color turned pale.She opened her mouth, but didn't know how to speak.

"Michelle." A faint soothing taste floated over the familiar voice.

Michelle met the man's eyes that had never changed, but this time she saw care and comfort in them, things that she thought had disappeared.

Good, Hotch, he hasn't been disappointed in himself yet. Michelle felt an instant of courage.As long as she had Hotch by her side, she said these words without fearing that he would think too much.

——He is not such a stingy man.

Michelle glanced at the real narrow-minded man on, turned a blind eye to the evil-minded raised eyebrows, lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and looked straight into Hotch's eyes, she needed Hotch to see her truest mood.

"I was the last person Steve contacted before he lost contact with Detective On and the others." Michelle carefully tried to see the look in Hotch's eyes, but she didn't know that the look of looking into his head almost made Hotch laugh.

And Hotch did exactly that, and then saw the girl opposite who had been anxious for a long time finally relieved and sighed.

It would be a lie to say that he was not angry at all.If my girlfriend is said to be someone else's lover, even a man will be angry.He does feel a little overwhelmed with Michelle.

——Obviously she is her closest lover, but she is almost the last person in the whole world who knows about that suitor.

Hotch really wanted to show off the girl before, not because he really misunderstood the relationship between her and that man, but just wanted her to reflect on her mistakes.So he could restrain his emotions and deliberately not let the girl meet his eyes.It was true that Michelle was frightened, but it seemed that she was frightened too hard, so hard that he found himself damn soft-hearted.

After seeing the girl timidly peeking at him a few times, Hotch saw that those big eyes that were always looking forward to him had lost their previous brilliance, as if they had lost all their brilliance, they were dull and dull.He noticed that the sockets of her eyes were a little red, and he didn't know if she had secretly hid and cried before, but she hid it all in front of him.

Well, that's enough. That should be enough, Hotch thought.He found out sadly and sweetly that this girl was really his robbery, and he couldn't even bear her to be angry.

Now that everything is settled, Hotch focuses on Michelle's next narration.

"A few days ago, probably the day I ate in my restaurant..." Michelle mentioned this, and suddenly thought of Hotch's swearing declaration in front of everyone that day, she pretended not to care and glanced at Hotch, only to find that her boyfriend He was also looking at himself with warm and soft eyes.Taking another sneak peek, it's good, I didn't look at it, Hotch is indeed not angry anymore. Michelle felt relieved and tried to recall what happened at that time, "I received a call with a hidden number. At first I thought it was you calling me, because I thought it might be a confidential call with a hidden number."

"Are you sure that person's voice is Steve Jinks?" Rossi asked the question sensitively, after all, it may be someone else's impostor.He has never worried about Hotch and Michelle's problems, because he knows Hotch's character very well, and he will not quarrel with his lover because of such things.That's why he just signaled Reid and the others to stand still.

Unexpectedly, Michelle shook her head, a little puzzled, "Actually, I didn't hear his voice at all, and thought he made a mistake. He deliberately lowered his voice, making it look very deep..."

"Then what did he say?" Man asked the core of the problem, and everyone's eyes focused on the girl.

Michelle was a little nervous, twisting uneasily on the chair, feeling a little sweaty palms: "He told me to pay attention to safety when traveling recently, and then hung up."

"Only this sentence?" Jordan was very surprised. The new agent was still not able to hold his breath. Instead, Emily slowly analyzed, "Jinks didn't even report his name. It seems that the environment he was in at that time I can't reveal my true identity."

"Maybe he was on the run." Hotch frowned and pondered carefully before suddenly saying this.

Reid followed Hotch's train of thought and added, "So that's why he didn't give his name, because even this call was taken out of his busy schedule." Reid blinked and looked at Michelle a little hesitant to speak.

"Reid?" Hotch knew what Reid was thinking, but he didn't say it because of Michelle's presence.

Reid licked his lips, looked at Michelle's worried eyes hidden in doubt, and somehow felt his throat dry, "Cough...I suddenly thought of a possibility, the reason why he didn't reveal his identity at the time, maybe he was caught calling, I exposed my location, so I hung up immediately before I could say the most important sentence."

"Ah!" Michelle couldn't help screaming, covering her mouth, looking terrified and helpless, "the first man who answered the phone was panting, and he didn't say that until I asked. Could it be ..."

"He's very dangerous now." Man stood up, and the black detective who always had a playful smile also restrained his expression at this time, because the situation was urgent.

"Hotch, we need to profile immediately."

Hotch nodded approvingly and turned to Michelle, who was watching them nervously, fidgeting a little since hearing Steve was dangerous.After thinking about it carefully, Hotch told Jordan to take Michelle to the next office and wait.At this time, she can't help here, but will only increase her own anxiety and self-blame.

"No, I'm the client, please let me stay here." Michelle looked at Hotch persistently, unwilling to move her footsteps, "I won't disturb your case investigation, just ignore me."

Hotch lowered his eyes, it was difficult for him to refuse the girl's request.He circled around, and no one at the BAU seemed to disagree.Rather...Hotch turned to Inspector On, who had been provoking him all the time. This time, this man spread his hands very cheerfully——

"I have no opinion."

The author has something to say: Michelle has appeared! !I just said I am my own mother!I won't abuse it! !

She is good! ! !

Hotch is indeed out of shape...

Looking at it myself, I feel that he is more like a bloody male protagonist--

Visually, it looks like there will be a few more chapters of this dog blood

Sure enough, the original case is not enough, and the pain is filled with emotion

This kind of emotional entanglement set up is too much a test of the author's writing skills
