[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

Seeing Garcia put down her chopsticks in satisfaction, she burped, and waited quietly for Michelle, who was beside her, before slowly mentioning her real intention of coming.

——She needs more powerful professionals to give her some advice.

"What, you want to install an anti-theft system in your store," Garcia looked at the girl in front of her in surprise, her serious look didn't seem like she was joking.

"What are you pretending to do with something that burns money... You wouldn't put such a valuable thing at home, would you?" Garcia suddenly turned a gossiping look, implying, "If you are afraid, you can Move in with Hotch, he'd love it."

She didn't put it on out of fear.

And inviting Hotch to live with her is indeed her next plan.

Because, she has no other reason to persuade Hotch to install an anti-theft system, but to let him live in her home with an anti-theft system.

All this, just for one person.

Foyet.

But these can not be mentioned with Garcia. Michelle watched with a headache as the fat newcomer best friend kept whispering in her ear, and then slowly said:

"Penelope, just tell me if you want to help me!"

Realizing Michelle's serious tone, Garcia could only sit back in her seat, "Okay, okay, of course I will choose to help you, my dear girl. Tell me your request, and I will overcome all difficulties The risk satisfies you."

Michelle looked at Garcia, who insisted on her funny style, and shook her head helplessly. It really is BAU's treasure.

"The general anti-theft system is fine, but I hope to add a little more function..."

The director of BAU in Bend, Oregon has no idea that his girlfriend is considering abducting him to live with him, and he is now trying to find their unknown suspect.

Before, they profiled that the unnamed suspect was a man who had experienced a car crash on Highway 7. He used to be a soldier, and it was very likely that he had served in the army or navy.And he was disabled after the car accident, so he found a substitute on this road to retaliate.

Working with local police, they went to every rehab center in the area to see if there was a suitable suspect.

All the profiles point to only one person.

—Ian Coakley.

Hotch is now with the sheriff in charge of the case.With his hands on the steering wheel, he tried his best to scan the situation on the street with his peripheral vision.The sheriff sitting beside him in the passenger seat also looked out the window nervously.

Because Ian wasn't home, but they found a photo of the next victim.

And just now Man called and said that the victim had just been exercising on a mountain bike around the mountains and did not bring a mobile phone.

That's why Hotch keeps checking out the window right now.

In such a tense and quiet atmosphere, the sudden ringing of the phone was particularly harsh. Hotch turned on the speakerphone almost the next second, and Emily's eager voice came:

"Hotch, did you know that Coakley was driving his wife's car the night of the accident? It was a little red car."

His wife died at the scene on the day of the accident.

Before, the victims he chose were all driving red cars without exception.

So...Hotch pursed his lips and looked worried, "The red car was indeed in the accident, but the driver was not someone else, but himself."

Hotch stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the black SUV flashed its police lights, and the rapidly spinning wheels raised a cloud of sand on the mountain road, "We need to find him as soon as possible."

Passing a corner, Hotch noticed sharply that the dark pickup truck in front was going full speed and was about to hit the cyclist.

And the people in front didn't notice anything!

At this critical moment, Hotch calmly yelled at the sheriff who was sitting beside him at a loss:

"Sit down!"

He turned the steering wheel quickly and bumped into it.

"Boom—" The two cars collided violently, the license plate and safety bar of the truck were quickly thrown off, and the front cover of the SUV, which has always been very strong, was also instantly knocked open.

From a wide angle, it looks so ferocious.

That night, Virginia, Michelle's restaurant.

Michelle stood at the door of the store, looked up at the sign above her head, and smiled very happily.

Taking advantage of Hotch's absence these days, she closed the store for a few days, cleaned up the inside of the store according to Garcia's suggestion, and installed the anti-theft system she was proud of.

The next step is to consider how to ask Hotch to move here.

Thinking of this, Michelle couldn't help but let out a long sigh.Even though she and Hotch were already close, moving in together seemed like a huge leap forward.

Let alone talking about myself, I feel that I can’t speak. For Americans, falling in love and living together are completely different things.The latter almost means that they are seriously considering being together, almost a step before marriage.

Although Hotch and himself are making good progress, will this be too fast?Moreover, she really didn't know how to bring up this topic... Michelle frowned, holding her chin in a daze, not realizing that she was still standing on the side of the street.

"What's wrong?" A familiar voice came from behind.

Michelle turned around in surprise. Hotch had called him before getting on the plane, but she didn't expect to arrive so soon.

The first thing that catches the eye is a bunch of flowers that have been stretched out in front of her, fiery red roses.

this man.

Michelle graciously accepted her man's romantic interest and gave him a big smile.

Looking at the smiling face of the girl in front of him, Hotch felt that the exhaustion from running around for days was gone, and even the headache caused by the previous concussion became less severe.

His gaze gradually went up, and he saw Michelle's store sign, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked at the girl who was still smelling the fragrance of flowers: "The sign has been changed?"

"Sure enough, you found out right away." Michelle smiled, her brows curved, seeing her boyfriend made her feel better now, "It's so dark now."

Hotch just smiled slightly and didn't speak.

He will take everything about her into consideration.

"Delicious? Such a clear name is really your style, but those symbols next to it...like Chinese characters?" Hotch squinted his eyes, struggling to distinguish the words on the signboard under the light of the street lamp.

Chinese again?From an angle that Michelle couldn't see, Hotch raised her eyebrows. Her girl seems to have always had a soft spot for Chinese culture.

Michelle didn't notice Hotch's expression, she just raised her head triumphantly, the look of begging for praise made the arc on Hotch's face bigger and bigger, and she also put the question behind her.

He can tolerate these trivial little secrets.

"Then, Your Royal Highness, can you tell me why you gave this beautiful place such a simple name?"

Following Michelle's thoughts, Hotch deliberately bent down, performed the etiquette of a medieval knight, and asked very reservedly.

Michelle was almost overwhelmed by the teasing. Sure enough, Hotch still has a talent for acting!

"Ahem...Since you asked so sincerely, I'll make an exception and tell you." Michelle put her hands in front of her body, deliberately posing like an arrogant princess, and then said slowly, "This is called delicious. Shop, which means Delicious Restaurant in Chinese.”

Seeing that Hotch immediately pretended to be enlightened and kissed her piously, Michelle thought that this guy was addicted to acting, and she didn't realize that she was having a good time.

"Then, brave knight, I give you special permission to enter my castle with me."

As expected, Hotch raised his arms kindly and nodded slightly in her direction. Michelle suppressed her gushing smile, took his arm, and walked into the store together.

Almost at the moment of entering the door, Michelle burst into laughter. This feeling of time travel is really fun, no wonder many people are willing to act in dramas!

Michelle laughed to herself for a long time against Hotch's amused gaze.She slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes because she was too excited, and smiled secretly.

If Hotch understands Chinese, you will find that there is another line of slogan below: delicious shop, so delicious!

Wouldn't it be great to feel that only you know the deep meaning of it!

After a long time, Michelle had enough laughs, looked at Hotch, but the next second suddenly restrained the smile that hadn't disappeared on her face:

"Aaron, what happened to your face?"

Hotch saw the girl's worried eyes pointing directly at his forehead, knowing that he couldn't hide it after all, he smiled wryly, and said to the girl who always cared about his body, "It's nothing serious, just a little scratch."

"Aaron, we agreed at the time that unless the case is confidential, you must not hide the danger you encountered from me."

Hotch looked at the girl helplessly, but found that she was staring at him without retreating at all, as if he had to wait for a definite answer before giving up.

This feeling of being stared at all the time is really complicated. Although sometimes it is unavoidable to feel that the other party is making a big fuss, but this kind of meticulous care does imply his gradually cold heart.

When Hotch thought of the glass splashing and his headache was splitting, the first thing that Hotch thought of was Michelle. She would definitely blame herself for not caring about her body.

Sure enough...Hotch tried to turn his face away to resist the girl's direct gaze, but he was defeated by her gaze after all. Hotch briefly told the story of the crash.Although his tone was very understated, Michelle could still hear the thrill at that time.

She just pursed her lips and looked at Hotch who had been waiting for her reply. He seemed a little nervous, was she afraid that she would blame him?

"I know that sometimes the urgency of the situation is so great that some risks are inevitable. I wouldn't ask you to hide behind others and avoid danger. You are the head of the department, and you can't do that. Besides, your character and Responsibility will not allow you to do this. I will not like such a man."

Michelle looked away, ignoring Hotch, who was a little moved and seemed to want to say something, and looked at the table beside him.

There is a vase that has just changed the water on it, and the branches and leaves inside are green and dripping.

She turned her gaze back, looked into the deep lake again, and saw ripples in her words:

"To others you are a hero, but to me you are my man first."

The author has something to say: the delicious restaurant is a stalk that came to mind temporarily

Hahaha, I made myself laugh

In fact, it would be nice if the slogan was "delicious uncle, the best food"

This seems to be what a pro said when I first wrote the article

There is a place in the article that I actually want to use "Since you asked sincerely, then I will tell you mercifully"

Thinking about it later, I was afraid that time travel would be too ruthless, so it would be useless
