[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

Michelle looked over to, um, a policeman with light blonde hair?I have never been to Virginia before, so I must have misunderstood someone. Michelle was about to say this when she heard her name called out. Could it be someone she knew from her previous life? Michelle tensed up instantly, will she reveal her secrets?

Who knew that the other party could see Michelle's blankness and preparedness, and obviously understood it as another meaning, "Hey, don't get me wrong, I didn't recognize you as a policeman, OK?"

Seeing the other party harmlessly raised her hands to signal to herself, Michelle was even more confused, what is this and what is it.

It was obvious that the doubts in Michelle's eyes were even worse. The young policeman scratched his nose helplessly, and looked down at the corner of his mouth, "Hey, you haven't recognized me yet, have you?"

Michelle still didn't respond.

"New Orleans. The alley next to the bar in the French Quarter."

New Orleans?bar? Michelle looked up and down carefully, her light-colored blond hair glistened in the sun, her deep gray eyes were showing a look of helplessness, and her facial features were three-dimensional like sculptures. He was a very handsome young man.Indeed, the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became. Michelle propped her chin and recalled vigorously, "Oh~!" Only then did she realize why she felt familiar. Isn't this the policeman who beat her up in the alley!

"It's you! Jinks... Detective? But aren't you in New Orleans?" What's the intimacy of meeting fellow villagers in a different place, haha. Michelle thought optimistically, and chatted with Jinks kindly.

"So you just happened to be transferred to Prince William County? That's not bad. This is under the jurisdiction of Washington, and New Orleans is completely incomparable. As a newcomer, Officer Jinks, you are so lucky!" Michelle excited Patted Jinks on the shoulder.

Jinks, who had been looking at Michelle with gentle eyes, waved his hands and said, "We are about the same age, just call me Steve, I have been transferred to the ATF blasting team now."

"Michelle, Steve." Concisely indicating that the other party also called her name directly, Michelle's attention was focused on the second half of the sentence said by the other party, "The blasting team needs to rush to the forefront to remove the bomb when there is a bomb. That kind?"

After receiving Steve's affirmative answer, Michelle's eyes widened. Just when Steve thought the girl would comfort him with a little worry, he had even thought of a way to comfort the girl in turn, but he saw this girl who had given up on her since the first meeting. A burst of light that made it hard to look at suddenly burst out of his very shocked girl's eyes, just like a ray of light appearing in the vast and endless universe, so dazzling.I saw the girl making a fist with one hand and making a gesture of cheering: "This is too cool! If I can also participate in such a case like this, I will tremble with excitement just thinking about it!"

Michelle, caught in the inexplicable excitement, didn't notice the black lines on the head of the freshly baked ATF police officer who had been hit, this, this, this... What a magical girl!I really don't know how her brain circuit is long, how it is different from ordinary people! Steve shook his head helplessly, and put away the unfinished trash by himself.

"By the way, I didn't explain to you the rush to leave last time. In fact, I'm not a doctor, but I didn't have time to say anything more in that situation..." When Michelle calmed down, she finally thought about the thing she hadn't explained before. matter.I remember that I finally calmed down from the excitement of meeting Hotch at that time, and when I turned around and wanted to explain clearly, the other party had already left to take notes, so I never made it clear.Unexpectedly, by such a fate, both of them arrived in Virginia at the same time, and even met each other.How many times does this need to look back in previous lives, Michelle thought wickedly.

In the afternoon of spring, the sun is shining warmly on the earth, and the temperature is just right.And there are strands of sunlight shining into the glass on the window, refracting colorful rays of light.And the scattered guests sitting leisurely in the house are all enjoying the leisure time stolen at this moment in a comfortable mood.The most noticeable thing is a pair of young men and women near the inside. The beautiful girl always talks and laughs energetically, while the handsome boy always follows the girl's every move with tolerant and gentle eyes. The girl in the bar didn't notice it, and people couldn't help but smile knowingly.

This is the rare scene that the BAU team saw when they stepped into the coffee shop they often come to during their busy days off.

"Oh~" Man looked at the pair of young men and women who didn't know what was going on outside, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he whistled frivolously, stretching out his strong arms to wrap around the thin Reid who was shining next to him, "Yo ! Seeing my gossip date with another man, how does it feel, Doc?"

Reid mercilessly took Man's rock-like arm away from himself, and gave the dark-skinned detective a hard look. Of course, the other party didn't think there was much lethality in this look. Shrugging his shoulders and grinning was obvious.

"Hey! Michelle and I are not the kind of relationship you imagined! We are a very pure relationship between men and women!"

The angry Doctor's words obviously didn't make Emily lower her curiosity. She stuck her head out from behind the two of them, "Is that the girl? Reid's...huh?" Emily stretched out her pinky playfully and winked at Man teasingly. .

Completely ignoring Reid's distraught look beside, BAU's gossip duo, no, plus the gossip queen Garcia who exclaimed "Oh my God! When did Reid have a crush?", fresh The three-person group of live treasures quickly formed an alliance, whispered together, and flew a funny look or two at Reid from time to time.

Gideon didn't come because he had to go to class, so Hotch was the only parent left in BAU.Glancing at JJ, wondering if it was because it was inconvenient to surround him because he was standing next to him, but obviously eager to try, this always serious patriarch didn't want to stop everyone from teasing Reid, after all, there was no malice, right?The cases you usually deal with are enough to depress yourself, and the occasional one or two indulgent jokes are not in the way. Man must know this and let Reid sulking there.Compared with Reid, who was impulsive and dull due to the kidnapping incident some time ago, this one is obviously much more lively now.

But... Hotch turned his eyes and looked at the girl who was still ignorant not far away. The complex eyes with nostalgia that he saw at the crime scene that day... Slightly pondered, Hotch lowered his eyes, regardless of whether he was wrong or not, It doesn't matter, after all, he didn't see any threat from this girl.His eyes touched the other person's face that looked a little pink because of the non-stop laughing, and he couldn't help but think of the pink baby who was born not long ago but has become very sensible. Hotch's eyes have never been softer, and there is nothing to do today. Go back early to accompany Jack and the others. The growth of children cannot be without the participation of father.

Thinking of this, Hotch finally interrupted the lively discussion among the three, "I have something to do, so I'd better go back first, you guys take your time."

"Huh? There shouldn't be any cases submitted today, Boss..." Garcia immediately expressed her surprise, met JJ's funny eyes, and immediately realized, "Oh, it's a rare rest day, a rare family day! "

"Well, let's go first. I hope that there will be no more calls on my mobile phone today, and I won't answer it." I don't know if it is because of the family gathering that will follow, Hotch's expression has obviously relaxed a lot, and he joked With one sentence, he nodded to everyone and left the coffee house.

Michelle, who is chatting here, is excited. She didn’t expect Steve to know Chinese Buddhism very well. Although he is not a devout believer, he has an almost obsessive intimacy with all people and things related to Chinese culture. ah.When the chat came to an end, Michelle lowered her head and drank the black tea she just brought from the counter, when she suddenly heard a pleasant "jingle bell".It's over, I'm just patronizing chatting, completely forgetting to entertain guests!

With a strong heart, Michelle quickly put on a professional smile and looked towards the door. The first thing she saw was the unusually familiar and tall black figure gradually going away. Hotch?How could he appear here at this point!Is there another case happening around here?She won't be so weak!Michelle, who was in doubt, was so occupied with this question that she didn't notice that another group of people who were standing at the door came over because of her gaze in that direction.
