[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

It's sunset now, and the afterglow of the setting sun passes through the window sill and shines into the house, casting a layer of warm radiance on the cooking table in the kitchen.

The light reflected from the white marble softened the cold atmosphere of the cooking table itself.

In front of the cooking counter, there are two figures, one big and one small, who are concentrating on beating egg whites in front of various cooking pots.

This is exactly Michelle and little Jack.

Today is the first weekend after the last Foyet incident, and it is also a rare rest day for Hotch.There is no case, no corpse, no killer, and he can stay with his lover at home.

Michelle misses Jack very much, and the little boy fell asleep during the last unpleasant meeting.Of course, this is a good thing for him, and no one wants to cast a shadow over the little boy's heart.

Therefore, she has always hoped to take Jack over and stay with them for a while, so that he and Daddy can also get together and enjoy the warmth of the family again.

Just in time, Michelle called Haley yesterday. She happened to be going on a trip with her new boyfriend, and she was considering whether to entrust Jack to Jessica's care.

So, naturally, Michelle happily invited little Jack over.

Now, she is fulfilling the promise she made to him before - teaching him to make his favorite little bunny snack.

"So, the most important thing is to beat the egg whites well, then add the flour, mix it all together..."

"Then why don't you use an egg beater, use this..." Jack tilted his head in distress, looking at the two slender wooden sticks in Michelle's hand.

"Haha, these are called chopsticks." Suddenly Jack was embraced by a pair of big hands stretched out from behind, and he lifted them up and put them on his shoulders.

This obviously pleased the cute little boy, he couldn't help giggling, and his big eyes turned into two curved crescents at this time, which attracted Michelle and Hotch couldn't help but also looked at each other and smiled.

A touch of warmth flows in the small room.

Hotch put Jack off his shoulders, watched the little boy run to the girl who had already started kneading the dough, and watched her skillfully knead it into balls, and then kept patting.

Hotch couldn't help laughing at the steadfast little look, and couldn't help feeling: It's been a long time since he saw Jack joking around so recklessly, it seems that he really likes Michelle.

Thinking like this, Hotch's eyes gradually turned away, and looked at the girl in a white hat and apron. She was looking at Jack softly, listening attentively to the boy's childlike questions, and then patiently answered them one by one.

Thinking about what happened a few days ago now, Hotch feels a bit like a world away. The dangerous rhythm before seems to be staged a desperate scene of life and death.But all of a sudden, there is a bright future, and the danger is saved, and even the ending is so unimaginable.

It seemed that, somewhere, there was an invisible force helping him.

If Michelle hadn't gotten Steve's ring, maybe everything would be reversed now, it would be a different ending.

Such a scene is definitely hell, and he doesn't even want to imagine it.

Based on their profile of Foyet, he would have guessed that Hotch would not make the choice right away, but would try to induce him with his own words.

Foyet definitely thought of this, that's why he proposed it like that, just to control the life and death of everyone, to control...him.

In order to let Hotch fall into the abyss from now on, and he can no longer escape.

The end result must have been that Foyet shot three people, ran away, and then hid out of his sight and continued to laugh at him until he collapsed.

But, all of this... Hotch glanced at Michelle's gentle smile as she kneaded the dough with Jack in her hands, and a happy arc slowly rose on his face: it was all brought by Michelle, these joys and happiness.

The smile gradually spread out, Hotch himself never knew that the curvature of the corners of his eyes and brows was so soft.He just stepped forward quickly and joined the picture that seemed so beautiful to him.

Men, women and little boys are the most complete picture!

However, what faced him was the sly smiles of the girl and the little boy looking at each other. They were obviously two completely different faces, but there was a wink on them.

Hotch felt his cheeks go cold almost immediately.He raised his eyebrows and looked at the two children in front of him who were high-fiving because of the successful sneak attack, and he also knew that his face was definitely white flour from their hands.

He just looked helplessly at his big one and one small while hiding aside and laughed, like two little moles who succeeded in pranking. He couldn't help shaking his head: Didn't they realize that their faces had become Is it the little cat?

Still, it's nice to have an occasional indulgence like this.

Hotch suddenly felt playful, and stretched out his hand too, and shot out with lightning speed, and immediately succeeded in revenge-there was another white mark on the faces of the two of them.

Naturally, the two screamed and fought back desperately. Hotch started running around the room, avoiding the retaliation of the two behind.

Childish game, but Hotch played with Michelle for a long time, naturally to accompany Jack.Haven't seen such a bright smile on the little boy's face!

Hotch looked back at Michelle, who seemed to be besieging but actually blocked little Jack's pursuit by releasing water.As if feeling the attention, she looked up, exchanged a knowing sweet smile with Hotch, and continued to yell deliberately: "Ahhh! Jack, come on! You're about to catch him!"

The outstretched arm happened to be in front of Jack inadvertently.

Seeing that his Daddy was about to escape, the little boy had an idea and suddenly yelled: "FBI! Don't move!"

For a while, Hotch stopped in surprise, turned his head to look, and couldn't help laughing.

The little boy is pretending to be serious and pointing a pistol at him with his hand, and the other hand is also very professionally stabilizing the so-called "gun stock".

The attitude of a full-fledged little detective.

Michelle was also amused in an instant, and regardless of her "spy" status, she let little Jack break through the siege, reach the enemy's position, and successfully seized the weapon.

Of course, Hotch also cooperated with peace of mind, and even yelled very cutely, "I'm innocent, Mr. Detective!"

Now, Michelle couldn't straighten up laughing even more.She hugged the little detective Hoter who was trying to maintain a paralyzed face, and laughed.

And Hotch, seeing such a warm scene in front of him, also smiled, and the fine lines on his face seemed to have a different kind of happiness.

It's a pity that Michelle went to patronize little Jack, otherwise she would definitely pounce on seeing such a picture of a smiling man with a paralyzed face!

The night is gradually falling, and the lights are on.

The lights in Michelle's room on the second floor were also on, and Hotch was standing in front of Jack's bed, watching Michelle tell Jack a bedtime story very tenderly.

Unlike his detective police stories every time, Michelle tells fairy tales that are obviously more in line with the favorites of Jack's age.

Hotch looked at the surrounding layout, feeling soft in his heart: This is a carefully decorated children's room.Before he knew it, Michelle painted the walls of the second bedroom sky blue, and the ceiling was a dark blue night, with various constellations carefully marked on it.On the children's bed are Jack's favorite superman-themed sheets and quilt covers, and there are various car toys in the corner.

It can be seen that the girl prepared very carefully.And all of this, he didn't know.

Hotch pursed his lips, suddenly feeling guilty.It was like this in the past, and he still hasn't changed now. All the hard work was carried out by Michelle alone, but she didn't complain at all, or even complained.

He watched as Michelle kissed Jack's forehead lightly, furrowed her brows slightly, and kissed the little boy goodnight.

"What's the matter, you're suddenly in a bad mood?" Hotch went out silently, watched the girl gently close the door, and then turned to look at himself.

Hotch, who didn't expect that the girl would capture his emotions like this, was stunned, and then slowly opened his mouth, his tone full of guilt: "I didn't even know that you arranged such a wonderful room for Jack."

"There are so many things you don't know!" Michelle blurted out casually, but found that the man's face became more and more gloomy.She realized almost immediately that this sentence seemed to make the man even more guilty-Hotch had always complained about how little time he had with him.

Although, he really can't do anything.

Occasionally, Michelle is naturally a bit resentful.After all, any girl who can't get along with her beloved for a long time will be in a bad mood.However, fortunately, this kind of time will not last long, after all, she already knows what kind of person Hotch is.

Being down-to-earth, loving her wholeheartedly and giving her an endless sense of security is what Michelle loves the most.

Besides, she's already prepared, isn't she?

However, even if she said these words ten thousand times, Hotch still felt that it was her intimate comfort, and would feel even more ashamed.

It seemed that she needed another way to make him feel at ease.

Michelle wanted Hotch to know that she really, really enjoyed it.

Michelle suddenly thought of the idea that had been buried in her heart for a long time, but it always failed to come true due to various circumstances. After a moment of hesitation, she finally said, "Since you feel guilty, I can give you a chance to make up for it."

"Of course, what is it?" Hotch looked at the face of the girl in front of him, although he breathed a sigh of relief, he was even more puzzled.Because, even under the dim light of the corridor lamp, he could clearly see the blush on Michelle's face.

What was it that made her so embarrassed and ashamed to speak?

"You wait for me in the bedroom, I'll go get something first."

Hotch only saw that the girl blushed, lowered her head, and only spoke softly, then her eyes shone strangely again, she pursed her lips shyly, raised her head, and glanced at him.

I want to say more.

Then Michelle ran downstairs.

When Hotch was half lying on the bed reading the newspaper, Michelle finally came back.

However, she made Hotch even weirder.

Michelle put on a black suspender skirt. The deep V front made her beautiful figure looming, and the short skirt only just covered the bottom of her thighs.Under the dim light, the slender legs add a touch of sexiness and charm.

She was carrying a large tray with many bottles and jars on it, which seemed to be cream or ketchup or something.

Hotch looked at the sexy little woman who was dressed completely differently from usual, the blush on her face became more vivid, and it spread to the neck behind her, as if the gentle and sweet breath was silently emitting, which was very tempting.

If he realized something, he looked at the girl amusedly, although she was shy but pretended to be calm and said to him:

- "It's dessert time."
