[Criminal Minds] years before love

"You think Emma did it herself?"

McKain looked at Rossi angrily.

"Yes." Hotch stepped forward to meet his gaze expressionlessly, as if unintentionally blocking his view of Rossi.

"Is that how you blame the victim?" Spade chimed in.

Hotch raised an eyebrow, "No, we just want to find her as soon as possible."

"You have nothing to lose by coming with us." Rossi pressed his shoulders, "Or...you don't really want to find her?"

McKain squeezed his fist. "She better be safe."

"Actually, I think you know a little bit." Rossi stared at him. "Did Emma tell you anything before she disappeared? Is there anything else you haven't told us?"

McKain lowered his head and tried to think about it for a while, then frowned suddenly, but shook his head again, "She did say that, but it was just annoyed with me, I was a little worried about her way of making friends, uh, we had some discussions. "

"Didn't I ask you not to argue with her?" Spade looked at him dissatisfied, "The more dissatisfied you are, the more she will do it, because only in this way can she feel your concern."

"But I just feel sorry for her."

"Wait a minute." Rossi stopped them, "What did Emma say?"

"She said that she really wanted to be a good child back then, and she asked me why she didn't do anything back then..." McKain waved his hand and smiled wryly, "She said how she longed for me to be able to Find her."

"And this time you'll find her." Rossi opened the car door for him.

McKain looked at him, then at the police officers who were ready, sighed and got into the car with his head down.

Hotch followed Rossi into another car, followed behind them, leaning back in his seat, staring ahead, "If I wasn't really convinced that Dr. Spade didn't have the ability, I would have suspected they were plotting against you collectively. "

Rossi smiled gently and covered his eyes with his hands, "Aaron, you're tired, sleep for a while."

And Hotch hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Looking at Hotch who was relaxing with his eyes closed, Rossi was stunned for a while.

According to the general rules, Hotch should still be on vacation now.

He knew that this case was far from complicated enough to require Hotch's support, and he knew from the beginning that either this was a case with no real victims, or that this case was so bad that unless there were new victims. Otherwise, they are doomed to be helpless.

Yet he still wanted Hotch by his side.

This was not a good sign, and he could even vaguely think of the bad cases he had done about control and possession.So he just left a message before Gideon answered the phone. He originally thought that Gideon would not answer his unreasonable demands that were almost nonsense, and he didn't expect that Hotch would solve the case in hand so quickly.

But obviously, Hotch's mood is not very good. He just experienced a particularly bad situation a few days ago. Although the hospital confirmed that his body has no injuries that require additional treatment, being controlled by the suspect will not be unaffected.

Whether it was EmmaMcKain, or Hotch who solved the problem by himself and subdued the criminal.

Even if he acts like nothing happened.

This makes Rossi feel that Hotch seems to be too good at suppressing his response to aggression. Correspondingly, he will crave the so-called safe harm in the relationship, and Rossi panics about this.

He knew he was in dire straits, and that another talk from Gideon was predictably waiting for him.

But before that, he had to find Emma McKain.

The cabin was about two hours away from the city where they lived. Rossi quickly saw the familiar woods. Before he could think about whether he should let Hotch continue to sleep, the young detective had already opened it by himself. Eye.

Although there was no kidnapping here, and even Rossi felt that it was unlikely that Emma would go to the so-called accomplice and pretend to be kidnapped, the police still cleaned the perimeter carefully enough to ensure that there were no other suspects.

Rossi and Hotch cautiously pushed open the ajar door, and Emma huddled in the corner with her legs folded, alone.

Rossi breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Hotch back, motioned to McKain and Spade, and the two hurried in, and McKain picked up his daughter.

Hotch looked at the three people crying in each other's arms, turned his head and smiled at Rossi, "It's over."

"Although it shouldn't be our job." Rossi also smiled, "but there is nothing better than not having a victim."

"She'll be fine."

Rossi didn't answer, just patted his arm, "It's over."
