[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

NYPD command center.

Reid rushed in from the outside in a hurry, just in time to see Rossi standing next to the TV, "Hey, David, I heard the radio, but someone else called..."

"The mobile phone network has crashed." Rossi stood with his hands on his hips, with an anxious expression on his face.

"Is there any mention of where the car bomb is," Reid asks critically.

"No," Rossi quickly analyzed the current situation. After communicating with Reid, he found that, including the second wave of emergency personnel, there would be 16 suicide attacks. Rossi immediately pointed out sensitively that the National Security Agency should be notified.

At this time, an updated message came from the TV - "The latest news is that the bomb was contained in an SUV parked a few blocks away from 26 Federation Square..."

Rossi and Reid glanced at each other, seeing the extremely worried look in each other's eyes, Rossi immediately picked up the landline phone on the table.

"Agent Rossi, we heard that there was an explosion..." Garcia's anxious voice came. After hearing Rossi's news that the explosion was a black SUV parked near Federation Square, Garcia, who was taking out his notebook, was shocked. call out.

"Is there a surveillance camera there?" Receiving an affirmative answer, Rossi calmly told Garcia, "I'm with Reid, the others don't know where...and, Garcia?"

"Yes, sir."

"Find them!" Rossi said word by word, confirming the safety of the team members is the top priority now.

A black SUV roared past with flashing police lights, passing through layers of traffic, full of killing spirit.

Man, who was sitting in the car, picked up the phone the first second it rang and answered, "Yeah, I'm still here."

Garcia, who was wearing a headset, exhaled slowly, "Oh, you are here, thank God!"

Man, who found out that Garcia didn't know the details of the explosion, could only ask the most important thing: "Who else have you been in contact with?"

"You're the first one, Rossi and Reid called me just now..." Garcia, who was talking to Man, suddenly saw a call coming in, and quickly told Man not to hang up:

"Hi! Who's there?"

It was a tired young girl's voice, "Penelope, it's me."

"Michelle?" Garcia was a little disappointed, but immediately her heart was suspended again, Hotch is still missing, how on earth is she going to comfort this girl?

Fortunately, Man consciously took over the job, "Michelle, listen to me, we are investigating what happened in the news just now. Don't worry, I will tell you if there is anything new..."

"I was still on the phone with Aaron just before the explosion," who knew that Michelle threw a bigger bomb, regardless of the questioning of the two, "he hadn't leaned into the car at that time, but later The phone just went off...I don't know what happened..."

Hearing the unmistakable crying in Michelle's tired voice, both Man and Garcia fell silent.None of them was her, and there was no way to imagine what it would be like if it was her, hearing the explosion sound from the other end of the phone, but her lover's life and death were uncertain.

Garcia immediately gestured to the policewoman next to her, Lisa, to investigate the cameras near Federation Square, trying to find out where Hotch was.

"Penelope, is everyone else in touch now? It's not good to say this, but I hope Hotch is the only one who experienced the explosion..." Michelle didn't want to infect the two of them with her depression, so she changed the subject, and it was true It's her concern.

"Don't worry, Reid and Rossi have met at the police station. I'm trying to call JJ and Emily. Although I haven't connected yet, the media report does have only one explosion, so..."

"Penelope, can I ask you one thing..."

"Well, I'll let you know when there's news about Hotch." Garcia thought that this was what Michelle wanted to know first, but unexpectedly the girl's calm voice sounded slowly:

"Not this, if you find the exact location of the explosion point, please tell me..."

Does she want to go by herself? This thought flashed through both Man and Garcia's minds. Man was about to stop Michelle's crazy idea and tried to tell her that the location of the crime was very dangerous. However, he heard the girl's firm determination——

"Tell me... Please... please don't stop me, I know I'm being capricious, but I really want to confirm his safety with my own eyes. If I don't, I really don't know what else I can do now... "

At this time, Lisa, who had been trying to pull out the various surveillance cameras around the square to check the records carefully, suddenly called out, "I found it!"

Garcia quickly moved over to look, just in time to see Kate in the picture was about to open the door, but turned around as if hearing something.It's Hotch!He was running towards this side with a phone in his hand, and seemed to be waving to Kate to go over. Just as Kate walked a few steps towards that side, the black SUV on the screen suddenly exploded with a "boom", and the wreckage flew around. All I could see was the scene where Kate was thrown away by the blast.Garcia couldn't find Hotch in the long flames.

"Penelope?" Michelle had already heard the voice coming from the earphone, and Michelle waited anxiously for a long time, but no one spoke.A feeling of uneasiness struck instantly, Michelle called Garcia in a low voice, not aware of the tremor in her voice.

"Yeah, I'm here." Garcia's voice came steadily from the other end of the radio wave, and Michelle didn't dare to miss a word, "Both of them were not in the car at the time, and Hotch was far away from the explosion point. Although the surveillance cameras couldn't catch it The sight of Hotch after the explosion, but I think it should be fine."

Man held his breath all the time, not daring to breathe, for fear of hearing some bad news. As soon as Garcia's words came out, he let out a long sigh of relief, and his tense mood eased instantly. Man felt that his heartbeat that seemed to have stopped just now finally started beating again, and he persuaded Michelle a little more relaxedly, "Now you should rest assured, now concentrate on staying in the hotel and don't run around. I will rush over there and tell you when the time comes The Hotch situation."

"Man, thank you for your kindness, but I still have to go by myself." Michelle didn't stop her crazy thoughts, and didn't see with her own eyes that she couldn't stay in a safe place at all. "Penelope, tell me the address..."

"Garcia..." Man's disapproving voice came at the same time, but Garcia gave the address decisively, and said to Man who was about to stop Michelle, "Let her go. Although you call yourself a playboy, a woman You will not understand this kind of thinking. Even if you know the danger, but the loved one is also unaware of life and death, how can you suffer alone in a safe place in this situation!"

"Thank you, Penelope. Man too, don't worry about me." Said these words softly to the two, Michelle hung up the phone.

There was a sea of ​​flames and what appeared to be scattered car wreckage from the explosion.Under the broken window at the corner of the street, there was a man in a black suit.There were scattered glass shards all over his body.I was motionless for a long time.

Roaring police cars and ambulances followed one after another, but they all stopped not far away, and no one stepped forward.

"Hey, buddy, are you okay?" A young man with curly black hair approached the man lying on the ground and turned him over, only to find that the man's face was covered with dust, so dirty that he couldn't even see his true face .

Under the persistent call of the young man, the man in the suit, that is, Hotch, whom everyone is trying to contact now, finally opened his eyes, and the first thing he said when he woke up was: "What's your name?"

The young man was taken aback by the question, but under Hotch's stern questioning again, he answered dumbly, "Sam."

"Call 911 and tell them there was an explosion." Ignoring Sam's answer that he had already called, Hotch still felt a little dizzy in his head, and the voices in his ears seemed to be very far away, and his sanity was not there. All too clear, what the hell happened?

The memory flashed back, Hotch remembered that when he was talking on the phone with Michelle, Kate, who was suddenly let out by her nervous request, came back.Although feeling a little confused, Hotch still walked out as Michelle said, and waved to Kate to let her come over.

He thought it was Michelle who wanted to talk to Kate about such a trivial matter, but when Kate turned around and didn't walk a few steps, he saw the scene of the car exploding!At that time, it seemed that I only had time to instinctively pounce to one side, and then I didn't know anything...

By the way, Kate! Hotch's expression became tense, and he immediately turned around to look for the place where the explosion occurred. I don't know how Kate was injured?

Anxiously shuttled between several fires of different sizes, Hotch dared not let go of any clues.Fortunately, Kate was not in the car, so she must have been blown over to a nearby place by the airflow of the explosion.

Suddenly, Hotch's sight was attracted by the high-heeled shoes that fell to the side. Following the shoes, Hotch saw Haley lying flat on the road, and hurried over.

Hotch knelt down to check Kate's injuries: there were various cuts on her body, but the most serious one was a big gash in her abdomen, which was bubbling blood continuously.At this time, Hotch took off his tattered coat, rolled it up and covered Kate's bleeding part, while trying to wake Kate up - staying awake was the most important thing at this time.

Hotch kept comforting Kate who was talking nonsense and incoherently after waking up, "Stay with me, Kate." Looking at the uneasiness in Kate's eyes, Hotch tried his best to convey his encouragement, and he didn't forget to call Sam who just called 911 to help oppress stop bleeding.

At the cordon where police cars and ambulances were parked in the distance, Man, who had just arrived, didn't see Michelle. He calmed down a little, and went straight to the colonel in charge, trying to persuade him to let the ambulance go.

Man Xiaozhi finally got the colonel's approval with emotion and reason.Almost as soon as he nodded, Man rushed to Hotch's side and told Sam to quickly back out of the cordon. Man carefully looked at Hotch and found that the injury should not be serious, so he was relieved and asked Kate's situation: "How is she?"

"It's not good, the abdomen is hurt, bleeding too much, and now she's out of her mind. I need to get her to the hospital quickly." Hotch's frown showed that it was not optimistic.

"The ambulance will come in soon." Man looked at Hotch, who had been staring at Kate's injury and worried, moved his mouth, and finally decided to say it: "Michelle knows, she should be on her way here."

"What?" Hotch's reaction was exactly as Man imagined, angry and anxious, and sure enough, when it comes to someone he cares about, even a rational and calm person can have such a furious side. "Since you know it, you also clearly know the danger here, why..."

"I can't persuade you." Man raised his head and looked directly at the anger in Hotch's eyes, "We don't know her character, don't you know?"

Seeing Hotch's expression slowly calm down, feeling helpless and having a headache, Man then told him softly, "She's really worried about you."

The author has something to say: Because of Michelle's relationship, the plot has changed.

So Hotch's ear was still hurt but it was much lighter than in the original show, and Kate was also injured
