[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

Hotch looked at the girl in front of him, murmured, and just took a step forward and hugged her.

He had no way to promise her anything, he could only comfort her with such actions.

Michelle leaned into Hotch's arms quietly, feeling the man's scent and temperature slowly surrounding her, just like countless times before.

Made her feel extraordinarily at ease.

"Aaron, stay tonight." This warm moment made Michelle speak naturally.

"Yeah." Hotch knew that they had been getting together less and less often, and today it was obvious that the girl's emotions were very fragile.

But he didn't know that what the girl in his arms was thinking about was how to ask him to live here in the future.

We can't find reasons to ask him to stay overnight every time we meet, we must know that the two of them would occasionally go to Hotch's house in the past.

Michelle almost fell asleep with such worries.

At night, Michelle's room on the second floor of the store near the street.Usually there are two people on the double bed alone. Michelle was fast asleep in Hotch's arms.

"Dididi", the phone rang.Mr. Detective, who has been well-trained for many years, woke up from his sleep almost immediately, and carefully removed his arm from under Michelle's head.Noticing that the girl only moved slightly, and didn't mean to be woken up, she picked up the phone.

But when he got it, he was stunned for a moment, it wasn't his. Hotch looked hesitantly at Michelle's sleeping face, and put the phone to his ear.

"This is Hotch, Michelle is asleep..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the other party on the phone. Listening to the voice over there, Hotch frowned more and more, and finally answered in a low voice, "Okay, I see."

Hotch hung up the phone, walked to the bed, pushed Michelle slowly, and called the girl's name softly.

Michelle gradually woke up from her sleep, and dimly saw Hotch standing next to her, thinking it was because he was notified to go out to work in the middle of the night, she didn't pay much attention, just waved her hand, "You go, I understand, pay attention to safety. "

Then I was ready to turn over and go back to sleep.

Who knew that Hotch's words made her wake up in an instant: "Just now Vi called and said that Nick had a heart attack and is now in the hospital for emergency treatment..."

"What?" Michelle sat up, staring fixedly at Hotch, not knowing how to react to the sudden bad news.

Emma's kind and gentle smiling face came to mind, the scene of her teaching herself how to make biscuits, the scene of her hugging herself and proudly telling her parents' deeds... Michelle felt sour emotions rising up, irritating her eyes and nose. sour.

She got out of bed, grabbed her clothes and put them on her body. Seeing this, Hotch stopped her, "It's useless for you to rush there now, and it's not safe for you to rush there so late, they can't let Vi and the others find someone to pick you up at the airport."

"I can take a taxi to the hospital myself." Michelle tried her best to convince Hotch, but failed under his stern stare of disapproval.

Looking at the decadent girl sitting powerlessly by the bed, Hotch stepped forward and hugged her into his arms, comforting her in a low voice.

"I'll help you book the first flight after dawn, and I'll take you to the airport myself."

"No, I'll just go by myself. You still have to go to work..." Michelle hurriedly stopped him, she didn't want him to be busy because of her, he was already very tired.

When he can relax, I hope he can rest well.

"For me, your work is as important as your work. Don't worry too much, I believe Nick will get through this difficult time." Hotch's words without hesitation made Michelle's chaotic mood slowly calm down.

"You take a nap now, and I will call you later."

But Hotch couldn't get her to the airport after all.Not long after dawn, he received a phone call.

Seeing his frown, Michelle knew that this time the matter was very serious.

Seeing his apologetic and hesitant expression, Michelle understood what he meant, but she didn't care at all.

She was already prepared for this kind of thing.

"It's okay, I can take a taxi by myself."

Hotch looked at his girl apologetically, he never wanted to be a broken person, especially with someone he loved.

However, sometimes it has to be so.

All he could do was to hug her fiercely and give her a parting kiss: "I'm sorry. But you don't have to worry about this side when you go to Dallas, and you don't have to rush back. You can stay for a while, just to be with your family."

He said this as if he couldn't wait to get her out of here.

Could it be...Michelle thought of the phone call just now, did he let herself go because of what would happen here?

Could it be Foyet?This guess made Michelle break out in a cold sweat, but she immediately denied the conclusion.

She remembered that Foyet's appearance was unexpected, and according to the previous explosion accident, it seemed that her appearance did not cause the fate butterfly to drop too much.

If that's the case, all she needs to do is...

"Aaron, in this case, can you do me a favor?"

Michelle knew that her reason would not arouse Hotch's suspicion, and he would certainly agree to her small request.Although it's not a good way to say it, this is indeed a perfect time for Hotch to live here.

"I will tell Kelly to temporarily close the store for a period of time and ask her to post a notice. But, can you sleep with me on the days when you are not out of the office? Anyway, your things are also here. You know, this store No one is watching the store, so I don't feel at ease..."

Sure enough, Hotch agreed to the request almost without thinking.

Michelle almost cheered inwardly, that was at least half the battle.The rest depends on the power of the anti-theft system.

I hope that there will be no accidents while she is away.

Michelle, who left with such good expectations, had no idea what kind of tragic experience her best friend would experience in the next few days.

Hotch just watched Michelle get into the taxi and leave, and drove quickly to Quantico's building in the next second.

Although he didn't say it clearly, the girl's expression let him know that she was as smart as her and understood her subtext.

Hotch didn't want to know if this was a violation of the request to block the information explained above, he was also a human being, not a god.

There is no way to achieve the complete purity of the six roots.

Anthrax, something he would never want Michelle to get a little bit of.

Reid is infected with a virus!

This can be regarded as one of the most urgent situations in BAU recently.

Especially in what they thought was the home of the unknown suspect, and the body of the unknown suspect was also inside.

Simply, Man has been accompanying him outside the house, encouraging him, and Reid lived up to Man's evaluation of him-"The Reid I know is a person who will never stop thinking and investigating", and found another companion's identity clue.

Hotch, Man and others split up to catch the murderer who has been so distorted that he wants to create panic by creating anthrax, so as to achieve the establishment of the city's prevention system.

As for Reid, he was in a critical condition when he was sent to the hospital, and even reached the final stage of aphasia before death.

Although, they have found the antidote.

Everything is at stake.

And all of this, Michelle didn't know anything about it, she just stayed with her grandfather who had gone through the dangerous period with peace of mind, deliberately pretending to be a fool, to make him and Emma happy.

Through the window of the ward, she saw that Emma was talking with Nick with a smile on her face, and Nick also laughed out loud in cooperation, swallowing the apple pieces that Emma had peeled and handed to his mouth from time to time.

It's really a warm and loving scene, and they still love each other and support each other when they are old. Michelle thought of Emma's heartbroken appearance when she first arrived at the hospital. The relationship between her and Nick is really enviable, and this is the feeling of being together.

Naturally, she thought of her serious but gentle boyfriend.Since he left last time, he hasn't contacted her. It is estimated that the case is urgent.

Thinking like this, Michelle was embarrassed to bother Hotch, but couldn't help calling Reid: anyway, Reid is generally not as busy as Hotch, and he won't answer his phone when he is really busy.

The phone over there rang for a long time, and Michelle looked at the receiver in surprise. Even Reid was too busy to answer the phone. It seemed that this case was really important.

Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Michelle found that the connection was instantly connected, but there was a very distant voice, as if someone was handing the phone to Reid.

"Evans' phone." The voice sounded like Man.

"Hi, Michelle?" Reid's dry voice was weak, like a patient recovering from a serious illness.

This made Michelle's hesitation even deeper.

"Hey, Spencer, why is your voice so weak? Sick? Hurt?"

"Ha, you guessed it right. It seems that they can change their careers and come to us." Man's teasing voice came first, and Michelle could still hear Reid's sophistry in the phone.It seems to be open to the public? Michelle thought to herself, but she didn't expect Man's next sentence to be——

"Our Doctor is extremely heroic, took the lead, and locked himself in a room full of anthrax to solve the case. Fortunately, the result is good."

"What?" Michelle screamed instantly, "Spencer, how can you do such a dangerous thing! Do you think you are a superman, not afraid of illness or weapons, and save all mankind by yourself?"

On the other side of the hospital ward, Man looked at Reid who was obediently sitting on the bed with a funny face, and he was listening to the angry and worried lecture of the girl over there with a guilty conscience.

Sure enough, one thing is still one thing, Reid seems to have not withdrawn from Michelle, and he is speechless every time he is said.It's rare to see the little doctor look deflated, and Man feels a little bit darker in his heart, and Reid really needs to be taught a lesson, entering such a dangerous place alone, he really thinks he is a superman!

Man was completely unaware that his mind was assimilated by Michelle, he just ignored Reid's eyes from time to time.

How dare you let him wait and see?He Man now let him wait and see:

"Evans, Reid doesn't seem to have any remorse, he's still staring at me now."

Then, he really saw the scene he wanted to see: Reid was scolded bloody, and he no longer had the strength to threaten him.

Man didn't think that his behavior was typical of being bullied by a child and telling the parents. He just watched Reid obediently nodding to the other side to admit his mistake, and thought silently:

In fact, the reason why Reid didn't withdraw from Michelle was also because he knew that Michelle was someone who really cared about him.That's why he is willing to be patient and listen patiently to what the other party seems to be a lesson but actually cares about.

This is not to say that a group of them don't care about Reid, it's just that colleagues don't compare with friends, the kind of care is purer and more like family.

And what Reid desires most is this kind of caring family affection.

The author has something to say: The little Reid in this episode is so pitiful

Can't help but let it out for comfort! ! !

As for whether Hotch's reaction in this chapter is a violation

I think it depends on everyone's understanding

Although Hotch in the play feels that public devices cannot be used for private use

But he ended up calling Haley after the bombing.

So, he just hinted, didn't say

But Michelle herself was smart enough to guess
