[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

"This... this is..." Michelle had been immersed in Hotch's words before, completely forgetting to cover up the existence of the ring, and could only stammer at this time, "Aaron, this is not what you think."

"Well, I'm listening." Hotch folded his arms, and watched the girl's incoherent expression with leisurely attention. He could naturally see the girl's movement language, and he was very intimate with him from beginning to end.

In this way, what is facing him is not the result that he does not want to face.

That being the case, there is nothing to worry about.

Still, it's nice to tease Michelle once in a while.

It is rare for Hotch, a mature man with a childlike innocence, to deliberately conceal his true thoughts, and calmly pulled out a chair and sat down.

He just wanted to know the origin of this ring.

But in the eyes of the panicked Michelle, it seemed like the rain was about to come.

So, she didn't care about the draft she had made before, and just revealed what happened in one go.

"Today, I received a package from Brooks containing Steve's belongings."

Once he spoke, the unspeakable hesitation just now seemed to disappear. Michelle touched the ring on her left hand, as if it would bring her great courage.

But Hotch frowned at an angle that Michelle couldn't see, what was that old fox trying to do...

Not noticing her boyfriend's distraction, Michelle just continued, "In there...in addition to the transfer documents of his property, there is also a letter. It contains this ring...Steve said he had no other intentions, just wishing that he To be able to leave a thought, so that...after his death...no one remembers him..."

"So, I just want to wear this ring to commemorate Steve. Anyway, I have to pay part of the responsibility for his death." Michelle spoke out her thoughts vigorously, but didn't dare to look up at Hotch's face .

His girlfriend proposed in front of him that he should wear a ring from another man, even if that man is dead, even if it doesn't have any special meaning.

Michelle couldn't imagine Hotch's expression.Moreover, she didn't know what she would do if Hotch didn't agree...

In fact, to a certain extent, she was sure that Hotch would agree to her willful request, so she said it.

——She is indeed a bad girl.

Until she felt a big warm hand caressing her hair, "If this can make you feel less guilty."

A faint sense of helplessness came.

Michelle moved her eyes and looked at Hotch, and sure enough, there was only compromise and cherishing of herself in those eyes, and she couldn't help murmuring:

"Aaron, thank you..."

Hotch gave a low laugh and approached the girl, "It's just that I have conditions."

He lowered his head slowly, lowered his head again, raised Michelle's left hand with one hand, and kissed lightly on the place of the ring finger.

That is the closest place to the heart.

——"When I want to put a ring on you one day, please be sure to take this off."

Michelle felt a soft kiss on her forehead.

She heard Hotch whisper in her ear, low and firm, "Even though it's not the same finger."

A few days later, Dallas, Texas.

This is an independent small building located on the outskirts of the city, which belongs to an elderly couple.They have only one son, who hardly ever comes back.But today seems to be very different. There are endless laughter and laughter in the silent house.

Michelle held a glass of red wine and leaned against the wooden bar at the kitchen door, taking a sip from time to time, watching the laughter in the living room.

There, the GS family was reunited and having a long-lost dinner.

They, that is, their own family members, are the only ones in this world.

"Why are you watching here, but don't go over?" Hotch walked in from the door, just in time to see this scene.

Michelle smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing, I just watched this scene, and suddenly I couldn't bear to disturb it, what a happy family."

"Don't forget, you are also one of them." Hotch obviously couldn't stand Michelle's incompatibility, "Although time will widen the gap between each other, family affection will eventually make it disappear. This is the power of blood."

"Okay, okay, I can't say you are a good negotiator." Michelle winked at Hotch mischievously, and raised the glass in her hand, "Just drink this glass and pass it."

Seeing Hotch shaking his head helplessly, and lowering his head to confirm the phone in his hand, Michelle leaned over curiously, "Is there a case?"

"No." Hotch shook the phone in front of the girl's eyes, "Haley just sent Jack's video, do you want to watch it?"

"Of course!" Sure enough, the girl's eyes lit up, and she even put the wine glass aside casually, "Hurry up, let me see."

Hotch looked at the girl's cute face like a little squirrel with a funny face, wrapped her in his arms, and clicked on the video.

In the video, there is a little boy wearing a blue children's safety helmet, holding a bicycle with both hands, and extending a hand to greet the camera from time to time:

"Look! Mummy, look I did it, I can ride myself!"

Hotch glanced down at Michelle, and found that she didn't seem to care about Haley's existence at all, but just looked at Jack intently, relieved, and refocused on the image of little Jack.

Who knows, the next second, Jack quickly blew a kiss to the camera, "Hi! Daddy, Aunt Michelle!"

"Ah!" Michelle let out a low cry. She didn't expect little Jack to greet her specially, and it really didn't hurt him in vain!Ha ha!She couldn't help laughing smugly, and said hello to Jack self-consciously, that stupid and cute look made the lines between Hotch's eyebrows and eyes softer, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Suddenly, the screen changed and the bell rang.

The call is coming.

Hotch nodded apologetically to Michelle, and the girl waved her hand indifferently.He stepped aside and picked up the phone.

However, it was a work call that happened to be from Patrick Ja, the attorney general of Texas.

He needs to get to the scene as soon as possible.

Seeing the embarrassment on Hotch's face who was coming towards him, Michelle understood it almost immediately, raised her voice and teased deliberately: "Wow! What can make our wise and mighty FBI agent Aaron Hoter frown? "

Hotch was immediately amused. Seeing his girl being funny, she put one hand on her chest and stretched the other into the distance, "Great warrior, please pick up the long sword in your hand and embark on a distant journey!"

"Michelle...I'm sorry, I promised to accompany you to reunite with your family..." Hotch leaned over slightly apologetically, and pressed a light kiss on the corner of Michelle's mouth, "This time the case is in Dallas, and I'll be back as soon as I finish solving it Accompany you."

"It's okay, you go!" Michelle smiled reassuringly at Hotch, and gave him a hug, "Don't forget, I won't wait for you right here, there is still my family here."

The girl blinked mischievously, waved to Hotch, and returned to the living room, where the elderly Mrs. Gs saw her and immediately waved her to sit down.

The lively family gatherings continued.

What a happy family.

The thought flashed through Hotch's mind, and he closed the door silently.

This time it was a homicide case of a high-class prostitute, but it was not this time, and all the dead were middle-aged men who were rich and powerful in the local area.Under the tremendous pressure from the congressmen, judges, and the huge legal team behind the dead man, prosecutor Ja had to ask the FBI for support.

Next to the elevator at the Culter Hotel.

Hotch is going to rest here until the rest of the BAU team arrives so they can start investigating the profile.

Facing Hotch's request for all case files, the prosecutor smiled wryly, "We don't have much information about Micheal Stanton, but I will send it to you."

"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Agent Hoter."

The moment the elevator doors opened, Hotch was shaking hands with the prosecutor.He glanced inside out of habit, just in time to see a young blonde woman glance out at them.

Hotch didn't care, and nodded to the woman who asked for the floor and helped to press the button to express his gratitude.He stood casually at the front of the elevator, keeping a certain distance from the woman.

This is a social distance between strangers, and neither party will feel uncomfortable.

"It's been a long night, isn't it?" The beautiful blond woman, dressed like an elite woman, accosted Hotch.

"Uh, sort of, yes." Hotch responded casually, he didn't need this kind of boring late-night company between men and women right now.

The ringing of the phone interrupted what the woman was about to say, and she only saw the expression of the detective in front of her. The moment she saw the caller ID, it was like a melting iceberg, and the lines of her entire face changed Extremely soft.

She could even hear voices over there.

It's a woman, she thought.

The elevator doors opened and her floor arrived.

Not bothering the man on the phone anymore, the blond woman walked out of the elevator silently, and the last sentence she heard was a tone that was completely different from when the man talked to her just now, extremely gentle:

"I miss you too, good night."

This is indeed a good man, the woman thought.In an instant, she gracefully took off the glasses on the bridge of her nose and put them in her bag, slowly unbuttoned her shirt, and gracefully pulled off the hairpin that tied her hair.

The lazy figure came to a certain room and stood still. The moment the door was opened, the woman's hair fluttered, her smile was charming, and her breasts were faintly exposed, which was sexy and charming.

— "I'm coming, dear."

The author has something to say: I really like this case too!That female killer is so pitiful...

The point is, she appreciates Hotch! ! !

Therefore, everyone should be able to notice

Because of Michelle's relationship, the author of this case has made some changes
