[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

In another place in Alabama, Madison, the same murder happened again, and they knew that the family had succeeded.If they can't find the missing girl again, they will just dormant quietly like before.

Just like countless times before, such a tragedy will not be repeated until a few years later.

While Man and the others were inspecting the scene, Garcia was sitting nervously in her small room, with a solemn and solemn expression, and her fingers kept flying on the keyboard.

She didn't even eat her favorite snacks and look at the toys that made her happy as usual, and even the coffee cup next to her had long lost its heat.

"Hurry up, tell me something." Garcia prayed hard in a low voice. The computer was her best partner, and there would never be betrayal.

"Found it!" Garcia stared at the two windows that popped up on the screen in front of her. The next second, the look of excitement slowly receded from her face, and an expression of disbelief climbed onto her face again.

"Oh my God, that's impossible!"

Even as a BAU technician, facing all kinds of sad and painful events every day, Garcia feels that she has already cultivated a heart of stone.But this time... Garcia looked at the content on the window, and familiar faces circled before her eyes.

She licked the dry corner of her mouth, unconsciously turned the pen in her hand, and pressed the call button on the phone.

On the other side, when Man answered the phone, the expression on his face became more and more serious, which made Reid on the side couldn't help becoming nervous.

Even at the end, Man heard Garcia say something over there, "What? Are you sure?"

Man hung up the phone and glanced at Reid involuntarily, just in time to meet the latter's questioning eyes.He clicked his tongue twice, shook his head, and signaled Reid and himself to go out to find Rossi and the others to explain.

"You won't believe what I found, I found the missing girls." Man's words instantly attracted everyone's attention, he approached the car under the eyes of everyone, took out the case files from the driver's seat, "Garcia analyzed the hair fibers that fell on the blanket when the unknown kidnapped Cate Hale..."

Man lowered his head and rummaged through the folder in his hand, "This hair belongs to Kathy Gray."

"Why does this name sound so familiar?" the local police chief in charge of the case asked in distress.

Man lays the papers casually on the hood of the car and points to one of them, "Abducted in 1971 after her parents were murdered..."

"So, the victim back then is now one of the unknown suspects?"

Jan is the latest to join the BAU, and her acceptance of these embarrassing things is far less than other agents.

While Rossi was not far away comforting Jordan with an uneasy expression, Reid walked slowly to Man, "You looked strange when you received the call in the house just now, it can't be just because of this. Man, what's wrong?"

"Sometimes you are not as sharp as Doctor Reid!" Man shook his head helplessly, then turned serious, and handed over another folder, "Look at this again."

"This is... a missing girl from 15 years ago, Mayags, what happened to her?" Reid looked at the document in his hand, and looked at Man with doubts.

The latter pointed to the first page of the document and said to Reid, his tone and expression were very serious, "Garcia found a matching DNA in the database, you look at her photo."

Reid's puzzled expression gradually turned into clarity, and finally he was frozen in astonishment, "This...this girl...couldn't be...how is this possible?"

Seeing that Reid understood what he meant, and showed the same expression as when he heard Garcia's words, Man gave a wry smile, looked at Reid, and looked into the distance, where there were flocks of birds in the blue sky flying.

"We need to contact Hotch."

The rain didn't know when it started to fall again. Michelle looked at the street outside the window, the rainwater merged into streams and flowed across the corner, and felt that her chaotic emotions seemed to be washed away.

She propped her chin, looked towards the street corner, and couldn't help touching the phone in her arms, wondering when Hotch would arrive.

—— "I have something to tell you, I'm in Alabama right now, board the plane and come back, wait for me. Aaron."

After an unknown amount of time, Michelle finally saw a familiar SUV driving past the corner of the street, and stopped at the door with a swish.

She hurried downstairs, and just opened the door on the first floor, just in time to see Hotch running over with his hand to block the rain.

"Dingling—" the door closed, and the sound of pattering rain was completely shut out.

Michelle turned around to get the towel, hesitated for a moment, and handed it over with her right hand. The moment she handed it over, she couldn't help looking at the man she hadn't seen for a week.Even though it's only been a week, she feels as if she hasn't seen Hotch for a long time.

"Uh...Aaron, you also have something to tell me, what is it?" Michelle couldn't help but clenched her left hand that had been placed behind her with her right hand, and she didn't know how to speak.

Hotch wiped the water droplets from his hair with a towel, and naturally noticed the behavior of his girlfriend, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and looked at her, only to find that Michelle tilted her head uncomfortably.After all, he didn't say much, just threw the towel aside and took out a paper document from his arms.

Under the cover of the clothes, the documents are complete and dry without even a trace of moisture, which shows the owner's love for it.

Hotch held out his hand, "Look at this."

"What's this?" Michelle took it with her hand and looked down, not noticing that Hotch's eyes flickered the moment he saw her left hand clearly.

"The specific content of your case? Why show me this?" Michelle looked up in surprise when she saw the first page of the document. She didn't think Hotch would casually show such important information to others, even if she was his girlfriend.

Hotch took the document in Michelle's hand and read it slowly, "In 1994, Dallas, Texas, the gs family was brutally murdered in their sleep, only 11-year-old girl Mayags is missing, suspected of being abducted ..."

While reading the content, Hotch paid attention to the girl's expression, but found that the girl was still puzzled, nothing else.Only then did he slowly look away from the document, and slowly put the girl's photo on the first page under Michelle's eyes.

"We investigated a 10-year-old girl abduction case in Alabama before, and found that similar cases were distributed across the country and covered a wide range of time. When Garcia analyzed the clues, she found that the current unknown suspect was a girl who was abducted back then. "

Looking at the girl's gradually dazed expression, Hotch couldn't help looking at the girl's left hand, which she forgot to cover, before continuing, "By the way, Garcia cross-referenced the information of other missing girls with the database to see if she could find other victims. Until , she found a matching object in the database."

Slowly meeting the girl's slowly widening eyes, Hotch slowly lowered/body, "She was just entered into personal information because she was involved in some incidents not long ago."

A slender finger appeared in his sight, and it was pointing at the photo he saw, quickly and accurately.The girl in the photo has brown curly hair, big eyes, and a bright smile.

And Hotch's voice echoed in Michelle's ear at the same time, "Michelle, this girl, it's you."

Michelle felt that Hotch's words were like a heavyweight shell, exploding in her ears, making her head stunned for a moment, and she couldn't even think normally.

What does this girl call her?He is Michelle Evans, even if she didn't come to this world, her name is not Mayags...

etc! Michelle suddenly thought that the predecessor of her own body seemed to be an orphan, which could only be traced back to the orphanage in New Orleans.

Orphanage?Could it be... Michelle suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but look at her boyfriend for proof, this man who in her opinion could bear all the pressure.

Hotch didn't interrupt the girl's thoughts, but just watched the expressions on her face change colorfully, as complicated as a palette, but not difficult to figure out: surprise, surprise, disbelief, denial, hesitation, sudden realization... After seeing the girl finally calm down and looking at him pitifully, Hotch finally spoke.The calm tone is full of gentle comfort——

"We have repeatedly verified that this is indeed true. And the reason why you appeared in New Orleans, we guess that you escaped one day when they let down their vigilance, and were rescued by the orphanage."

"But I don't remember anything..." Michelle took Hotch's hand helplessly, not noticing that she was shaking.

Michelle was suddenly a little scared, she really didn't know anything, because she wasn't from here at all.

Hotch thought the girl's trembling was just because of nervousness and panic, he slowly hugged her into his arms, and patted her on the back comfortingly:

"I know. This is most likely post-stimulus amnesia, your brain telling you to subconsciously escape from it. It's okay, Michelle, if you don't remember it, don't remember it... don't be afraid, I'm here..."

No!not like this! Michelle screamed like crazy in her heart, she couldn't remember because she wasn't Mayags at all, she wasn't even Michelle Evans!But she couldn't say these words at all, because in everyone's eyes, she was Michelle.

At this time, the only thing she could do was to hug Hotch's back tightly and not let go.

Hotch noticed that the girl's strength tightened again, and while soothing her hair, she also felt puzzled. Her resistance and panic seemed to exceed normal people. Michelle, who was so insecure, was not the first first time seeing you...

Silently suppressing this question in his heart, Hotch waited until the girl finally stopped trembling, then gently pulled her away, and pressed his forehead against his:

"Would you like to meet your family?"

family? Michelle flinched suddenly, and got out of Hotch's arms.What about the family members of this body... She was not prepared at all, she had already accepted the fact that she was alone here, and now she came to tell her that there was still a so-called family?

Michelle blinked, she wasn't worried about whether it would be found out.After all, this body was only 11 years old when it disappeared, and 15 years is enough to change a person's temperament drastically.But family...

"Didn't it mean that the family has been killed, how can there be family members?"

Seeing that Michelle had regained her composure and even started to think about the key to the problem, Hotch gradually eased his tense emotions, smiled and said to Michelle, "Your grandparents are still alive, and you have an uncle. If you don't If you want to be alone, I can accompany you to visit."

Hearing this suggestive sentence, Michelle raised her eyebrows in surprise, and looked up at Hotch, "You mean, what kind of visit?"

"Which do you want?" Hotch asked subtly, a narrow smile on his face, eyes full of smiles.

"Huh?" Hotch's snort hit Michelle's ear, the sexy voice made her face start to heat up unconsciously, and her sensitive body went limp.

The dense ambiguity gradually rose.

Michelle pulled away from Hotch uncomfortably, covering her ears with her hands, this is her sensitive area!This damn man, after knowing this, he likes to deliberately whisper in her ear every time!

Looking at the fluttering blush on the girl's face, and the stare that was obviously winking, Hotch felt in a good mood, and the anxiety just disappeared in an instant.

Still, some things need to be clarified.

Hotch hid the smile on his face and asked Michelle calmly, "Now, can you explain to me, what does that mean?"

Following Hotch's gaze, Michelle looked over, it was her left hand that blocked her ears.

Under the light, the index finger shone with dazzling brilliance.

That, is a ring.
