[Criminal Minds] years before love

When being pulled into the car, Bowden still didn't understand what was going on, "Why are you so nervous? I don't think Lindsey is missing...I came back last night to find that she was not there and the car was taken away, but she must have gone to find her." She's a mother, and while technically she can't drive independently, Lindsey drives well enough that she's not in danger."

"It's not her that I'm worried about now." Hotch turned to glance at the man in the back seat, "I think your daughter often comes home late lately."

"She said the baseball team was busy at practice." Bowden froze for a moment, then turned to look at Rogers, who just looked at him and said nothing, and Bowden suddenly realized, "Is she lying? Wait, Rogers! Are you suspicious of her... no, You can't do that, you can't doubt Lindsey, she's a good kid!"

"I believe she's a good kid." Hotch sighed, "but you don't seem to be a good father."

Bowden was speechless for a moment, and just about to refute, Hotch continued to ask, "Why did you and your ex-wife divorce?"

Bowden opened his mouth, and finally defended weakly, "Marriage always has many problems, we are indeed not good enough, but I have been trying my best to give her the best..."

Hotch glanced at him through the rearview mirror and interrupted, "I don't care what's wrong with your marriage, but I think your daughter does, how do you explain to her why you separated?"

"Explain? My wife left us! God knows how I'm going to explain it!" Bowden yelled, but he quickly controlled his anger, and his eyes wandered among the people in the car for a while, slowly shrinking back Seat, sighing, "She said she couldn't take this life anymore and she was getting out of here. But come on, she pulled me in! Just think about it, Will is her brother! I'm even trying not to hold them accountable Have you ever..."

He waved his hand, "Forget it, it's all over."

Hotch didn't ask immediately, but looked out of the window, and after a while, he said softly, "Maybe you should pursue it."

Bowden looked at him puzzled, and continued, "She didn't even mention taking Lindsey away, and she never came back to see her. What else can I say, Lindsey loves her very much, I can only tell her, Her mom has a new job she can't turn down and has to be separated from us. I know Lindsey is sad...she wants mom back every weekend but she never...not even a phone call. Lindsey is devastated she's late Home, sometimes irritable."

Bowden sighed. "I can't blame her."

"Have you contacted your ex-wife?"

"I tried calling her in the morning... it went to the message, and I asked her to call me back when Lindsey arrived, and to be honest, I didn't expect her to do that." Bowden rubbed his forehead, "She seems to be determined Determination disappeared from our lives."

"How does Lindsey know where she is?"

"She'll send the child support, the letter has the address, and I didn't think Lindsey would actually go to her—over there." Bowden pointed out the window, and he saw his car parked outside an apartment building.

There were no police vehicles and no disturbance of any kind, which means that whatever Lindsey did, at least she wasn't causing a disturbance yet.

Bowden watched Hotch pull out his gun, and stopped him reflexively, "Don't."

"I won't hurt her, I know she doesn't have a gun, but I'm not sure your ex-wife will." Hotch frowned, "Get out of the way, don't waste time. If you want your ex-wife to live, hope your daughter doesn't continue to make mistakes .”

"She won't, she loves her."

"That's why she's dangerous." Hotch gave him a glare, and hurried upstairs with the police, looking for the address.

The door is ajar.

Hotch gestured and pushed the door open as softly as possible.

There was a woman lying on the ground, her face facing the ground, and she seemed to be breathing weakly.A girl was holding a baseball bat in front of her, but her arms were constantly shaking.

"Lindsey?" Hotch stopped the policemen who wanted to rush up behind him, and stopped at a distance.

The girl turned around abruptly, raised her bat high and took two steps back, her eyes frantically jumping back and forth between the woman on the ground and the crowd.

"Lindsey, don't do this, you don't really want to." Hotch put the gun down slowly. "You know you love her."

"She abandoned me." The girl roared.

"No." Hotch took a step closer to her, "She just wanted to get out of that situation, what you know and see, she hates it as much as you do."

"Why didn't she take me away!" There were two tears in the girl's eyes, and she blinked hard, trying to stop them.

"She's scared." Hotch stared at her. "Lindsey, help yourself, you'll regret it."

"I just...just..." Lindsey breathed heavily, his legs shaking uncontrollably.

"Lindsey, you know she loves you too." Hotch took a step forward, this time Lindsey didn't move, looking at him with blurred eyes, after a while, she turned to look at her mother, finally, Lindsey dropped the bat , squatted down and burst into tears.
