[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

Lively street scene, happy and busy crowd ready to spend the weekend.In a scene full of joy and joy, a person appeared, with his hands hanging down weakly, as if he had no strength to hold the things in his hands. The beautifully packaged bouquet of yellow and white flowers fell mercilessly, just scattered in the water beach on the ground, splashing There was a splash of water.The white petals were wet with dirty water, showing a desolate atmosphere of defeat.

Gideon.

The most murderous Frank in history is back!

This news instantly shocked the entire BAU!

Because Gideon's friend Sarah was tortured and killed in his apartment.

The most terrible thing is that Gideon was seen by 6 witnesses and ran to the street covered in blood, and was listed as a criminal suspect, but they were strictly restricted from participating in the investigation of the case because of conflicts of interest. This is why Gideon needs them the most. made.They all know that the real murderer Frank is at large and Gideon is missing at this time, leaving only his mobile phone in the apartment.

After Gideon called from the payphone, what the rest of the BAU can do now is to find Frank's trace based on the information Frank left on purpose.

After a period of chaos, everything settled down.

Looking at the scene left behind by the roaring train, Hotch couldn't bear to turn his head back. This kind of ending was unexpected by everyone.

No one thought that after Jane found out that Frank wanted to kill her, and after she had escaped from his clutches, she would be seduced by Frank's words and the false sweetness of the past again, and chose to end with Frank.

ErinStrauss office a few days later.Modern furniture, well-placed magazines on the table, framed awards, artwork on the walls—everything looks organized, but it seems to lack a little personality.

Hotch silently kept these in his eyes, turned his head and began to calmly refute Strauss' assertion that he was not suitable to be the head of the BAU department—

"...it all goes against the grain of your family life. You have three children and clearly prefer the boy in the middle..."

Strauss, who was overwhelmed by Hotch's facts and humiliated by telling the truth, said, "Agent Hoter, that's enough! This is talking about your job, not mine! As your boss, I question your leadership. The ability of the team!"

"My team, let me tell you about my team!" The team is simply Hotch's weakness. He can allow internal leaders who don't know the hard work to take responsibility for themselves, but he will never allow others to insult his team and obliterate their efforts.

"Disbanding this team was a mistake!"

Hotch put everyone's hard work in front of Strauss' eyes, and Hotch finally said calmly, "If you think you can find a suitable candidate, good luck!"

Turn around and leave.Before Strauss stopped him, he took the initiative to ask the other party's question, and at the same time told her the answer - "Because I am good at this job."

On the same night, FineDelicatessen Coffee House.

Michelle was bored watching Alison who was not far away happily humming a song and wiping the tableware. What a happy girl, she thought.After a busy day at work, she was so energetic that she seemed to be falling apart and unwilling to move?

Is it really because she is getting old... Michelle tapped her fingers on the table in boredom.

"Dingling~" She habitually pulled a formulaic smile, "Welcome!" Michelle felt that her facial muscles would be out of balance.

"Hi! I want a cup of espresso, a spoonful of sugar without milk, thank you!" It was Emily who came in, and the desolate aura in her body could almost evolve into a real gas for people to perceive.

"Want to chat?" Michelle put the coffee cup on the table, but did not choose to leave.No matter what, she always regards this group of FBI elite agents as her friends, after all, they are a group of people she is very familiar with and kind in this world.

Emily hesitated for a moment, looked up at the girl who was wearing an orange apron and smiling like a girl next door, she felt a little desire to talk to her for some reason.There is no way to tell Man or Garcia about this matter, she may be the most suitable.

"If your boss asked you to do a very immoral thing, which violated your principles in the eyes, and would make your colleagues suffer because of it, how would you choose?" Emily carefully organized Language, did not fully express the content of Strauss' conversation with him.

boss? Michelle's first reaction was Hotch, but she immediately denied it.This matter cannot be Hotch's request. He is a very upright man who treats his team as loyal and loving as his own relatives. So it seems that he is Hotch's boss?Could it be the very disgusting Strauss who died in the end and made people sigh?

Michelle didn't answer Emily right away, but opened the sugar bowl on the table, scooped a spoonful and put it in Emily's cup. "You actually have the answer yourself, don't you?"

Emily opened her mouth wide, she was really a little surprised this time, no wonder Reid and Man praised her a lot, she is really a smart girl who is observant, she couldn't help but start admiring her.Smart without being ostentatious, sensible and caring, without being offensive at all.

"Yes, I plan to resign." Emily paused and said cruelly.

"Why did you quit so easily?" Michelle burst into tears, "Avoiding won't solve the problem, this team needs you."

"I doubt this very much. In fact, I haven't joined for a long time. Although you may look okay now, I was unconsciously excluded by everyone when I first came." Emily took a sip of her coffee mockingly, and kept using a spoon Stirring, a little distracted. "I don't understand why power struggles are so important to those people, so important that they can't see the talents and efforts of others or even exclude them?"

It was clear that Emily was talking about the tit-for-tat between Strauss and Hotch, Michelle smiled, "Where there are people, there must be a struggle, whether it's for survival, beauty, rights. You don't know now because you are not in a position, when You get to that height too, and you probably wonder who's going to stand in your way."

After listening to Michelle's words, Emily thought deeply, "Indeed. That's why I hate politics." After drinking the rest of the coffee, Emily hugged Michelle's shoulders boldly, "Thank you for your words, which made me feel better A lot, I figured it out a bit. Oh, and thank you for the coffee, it’s well brewed. If I have time in the future, I’ll come over and have a taste.”

Michelle caught the meaning of the other party's words and frowned, "You still decide to quit?"

"There is no intention of changing it yet. Let's see." Emily held out her hand, "Anyway, thank you for your enlightenment. You will indeed be a good friend. Emily Prentiss."

Michelle was stunned for a moment, and realized what Emily meant. This was the first female friend who offered an olive branch to her. Apart from her co-workers, she was also the sister Yu whom she liked very much in BAU!He stretched out his hand excitedly, grabbed Emily's hand tightly and shook it up and down, "Michelle Evans. BTW, I think you will often have the opportunity to come over for coffee."

"Oh?" Emily, who was instantly amused by Michelle's appearance of a magic stick, didn't take this sentence to heart, "I would like to borrow your good words."
