[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

This time it's a very sad story.

When Emily and Man came out of Katherine's house, this thought crossed Emily's mind.

Katherine's previous career was not very glamorous, she was a high-class prostitute.Although not her intention, she did cause Andrew Kane's family to break up.

Of course this successful man has remarried, and the bride can't possibly be a call girl, even if she is also very "high class".

However, the tragedy did not stop there.

Megan Kane, Andrew's daughter, has had her life turned upside down since her parents divorced.Not only emotionally, but also financially.

His father, stopped supporting his ex-wife and daughter.

——This means that he abandoned his daughter.

Emily didn't know what would happen if she was the one who was abandoned.But once she changed from a rich girl to nothing, coupled with her father's emotional betrayal, the well-educated rich daughter Megan was completely dazzled by hatred.

She bought Katherine's client list with a lot of money, picking her targets from rich and powerful men-men who are obviously rich but stingy with their ex-wives and children.

This is the dirty truth behind those dead business elites.

Emily turned her head and saw Katherine and her adopted son playing on the lawn in front of the house. The boy had a happy smile on his innocent face, and he didn't know what was going on.

"What's the matter?" Man asked strangely after not seeing Emily following up after a long time.

"I don't understand how these rich people think." Emily stared straight ahead in trouble, where a young couple was kissing sweetly goodbye, as if the wife was sending her husband to work.

"They can spend tens of thousands on unsentimental prostitutes, even on some interests that ordinary people can't understand, but they refuse to give their wives and children even a penny. It's so cruel!"

"For these outstanding and successful people, maybe it's offensive to pay for a failed marriage, you know." Man shrugged indifferently, signaling Emily not to mind.

"I know." Emily just couldn't help feeling the ruthlessness of the world, and couldn't help but think of the heart-piercing cry on the phone when Megan talked to Hotch before——

"No, Aaron, you're not on business! You're just like them, you just want me to disappear!"

That kind of grief to the point of despair is shocking.

"Prentiss?" Man poked his head out of the driver's seat, urging the dazed Emily - they still had a lot of work to do.

After all, Emily sighed, and finally looked back at the smile on Katherine's face, looking so carefree in the sun, she finally got into the car, closed the door and left.

That night, at GS's house in the suburbs of Dallas.

"Michelle, your phone is ringing!" It was Michelle's lifelong uncle, Vigs, who poked his head out from the living room and shouted towards the kitchen.Under Michelle's strong request, they still call her Michelle instead of Maya, after all, she is already familiar with this name.

For this proposal, the GS family naturally accepted it, as long as their girl is willing to come back and integrate into them, the name is just a symbol, it is nothing.

"Okay, Uncle Vi." Michelle hurriedly wiped the flour on her hands on her apron, and was about to come over to answer the phone.

She is just learning how to make ancestral pastries with Emma's grandmother, and she plans to learn how to make them for Hotch and little Jack.

Glancing at the phone screen, it happened to be the person she was thinking of just now. Michelle felt a burst of sweetness in her heart, and put the phone to her ear:

"Aaron, are you done yet? I'm learning how to…"

Her light words were interrupted by Hotch's seriousness, "Michelle, someone here wants to talk to you."

And her, could it be little Jack?But Jack can't be in Texas, and Hotch's tone is so serious...

Michelle was trying to figure out the identity of the other party, but unexpectedly a young woman's voice came from the receiver.

"Are you Aaron's new girlfriend?" The voice was weak, as if there was a choke in it, but Michelle could hear the endless envy hidden in the words.

She didn't remember that Hotch had any other ex-girlfriends besides Haley, and he didn't go out of his way to put two women on the phone. Michelle thought for a while, and she settled down a bit:

"Yes, I'm Michelle, are you?"

A chuckle came from over there, "A woman who envies you very much."

Michelle heard the woman's voice seemed to be mixed with a little bit of painful groaning/groaning, and she seemed to take a few deep breaths, as if in this way she could accumulate the strength to continue speaking:

"I just asked Agent Hoter, how could her wife be willing to leave such a good man like him, he is the first man I know who didn't let me down..."

Hearing that the woman on the opposite side suddenly changed her words, Michelle already guessed the identity of the woman. It seems that she is the person in the case that Hotch is in charge of this time?

——She vaguely remembered that there was a female killer who seemed to have a crush on Hotch.

It seems that this is the time.

Michelle lowered her eyes gently, quietly listening to the voice of the woman over there gradually lowering:

"Then he told me with a smile that he had actually found his own happiness. It seems that you are the one who makes him talk on the phone in the elevator and can't help but smile."

The woman couldn't help coughing. After a while, the breath over there gradually calmed down, and Michelle spoke slowly, as if she was afraid of disturbing something, "What's your name?"

"Hehe, this is not important at this time..."

Michelle ignored the self-deprecating irony in the woman's words, but said firmly again:

"Please tell me your name."

After a silence that was difficult to ignore, the woman's clear laughter came, relieved and relieved, "I can now understand why Agent Hoter chose you...Megan, it's just Megan."

Is she abandoning her last name...

Michelle didn't say much, but said very solemnly to the phone, "Megan, I'm Michelle, nice to meet you."

"Me too. Thank you, Michelle." Megan's voice gradually weakened, until a rustling sound came over, and the familiar voice sounded again, Michelle asked Hotch over there:

"she left?"

"Yeah." Hotch's calm voice came, but there was no further words.

Michelle walked to the courtyard with her mobile phone and looked up at the sky. There were countless stars shining on the dark blue sky, reflecting the bright moonlight, making it extraordinarily quiet.

She could almost hear the other person's breathing.

Then, "Thank you, Michelle, for being with her for the last time. She's…"

"No need to explain, I understand." Michelle interrupted Hotch, she knew that he was actually a very gentle and soft-hearted man, "It was us who accompanied her on the last journey together."

Hotch hung up the phone and looked at the woman who had closed her eyes. Her face was no longer full of hatred and resentment, but a faint smile, as if she had completely liberated herself.

He walked to the railing of the balcony, watched the police cars flickering downstairs and the voices of people, and couldn't help but spread his clenched palms.

There, lay a small SIM card chip quietly.

It was the list of clients his father, on his mind, could even act on, wanted to get from Megan.

What a sarcasm. Hotch shook his head, listening to the voice that Andrew Kane had been caught in the headset, and looked overhead.

A bright moon is hanging in the sky.

This is an independent small building located on the outskirts of the city, which belongs to an elderly couple.What was different from usual was that there were all kinds of laughter and laughter in the usually quiet courtyard.

"I can't believe that you all came here." Michelle exclaimed in surprise, looking at the crowd in front of her, "Is this the rhythm that wants to subvert my world?"

Impressively appearing in front of you are all members of BAU, except Garcia who is far away at the headquarters and Jordan who has not followed the case this time, and of course JJ who is enjoying family happiness at home.

"Haha, Penelope was still complaining to us just now, she couldn't come to the rare BBQ." Man deliberately picked up a bunch of grilled sausages, bit into it hard, showing his white teeth.

Emily punched Man's shoulder hard, greeted with a smug laugh, and said helplessly, "If you let Garcia know what you look like, you will definitely have to argue again."

"In fact, the concentration of smoke produced by BBQ far exceeds the healthy range that our human body can bear, and for the environment..." Reid carried the knowledge in his head seriously, completely oblivious to the fact that Michelle's family members were looking at the girl who had just been killed in amazement. The introduction is the genius Doctor.

"Hey! Spare us." Michelle covered her ears with a headache and interrupted Reid's tirade loudly.

And Man quickly took a baked chicken wing from the person next to him, stuffed it in Reid's mouth, and finally blocked his mouth.With a smirk, he watched as Reid depressedly took down the roasted wing from his mouth, biting it bitterly, as if he was fighting an enemy, and couldn't help but punched Vi, who couldn't help laughing, as a thank you The help just now.

Rossi was standing alone at the table at this time, tasting Michelle's grandmother's family handicraft—apple pie, "Well, it's delicious!" Nodding while eating, the exaggerated expression and smile made the old lady gs laugh. Mouth.For the elderly, this is the most sincere compliment.

Even Hotch ditched his usual suit for a slouchy jacket.His smiling eyebrows and eyes are curved, and the lines on his face have never been softer, and even the slight wrinkles on his face look very friendly.

Looking at the happy scene in front of him, he felt extremely happy from the inside out.Turning his gaze, Hotch looked tenderly at the girl who was directing Man and the others to bring out the beer.

In the sun, Michelle's smile looked extraordinarily bright.

All of this was brought to him by her.

"Hey! What are you doing here in a daze, don't go over there yet." A sudden force came from behind, Hotch looked back and saw that it was the elderly Nickgs who was carrying a box of vegetables.

Hotch quickly took over and lifted the box easily, but unexpectedly, the old man at the side suddenly said:

"Hurry up. How can we celebrate without you?"

Hotch was taken aback, then turned to look at the relieved old man next to him, "Thank you for helping us bring Michelle back."

Nick just said this and walked towards Michelle with his hands behind his back. Hotch looked not far away, looked at his group of people, finally lowered his head and smiled slightly, and walked towards them.

The backlit figure stretched longer and longer in the sunlight.
