[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

In the monitoring room, Garcia and Lisa are constantly checking the surveillance video near the explosion point, looking for clues of the murderer.Just now Man called to tell Hotch that he was fine, and Garcia, who had already contacted everyone, finally calmed down and focused on the work she was good at.

"He's watching," Garcia opened his mouth in disbelief, "This bastard actually watched the bomb explode." At another time, Garcia was even more surprised to find that the unknown suspect was the first young man who ran towards Hotch. Trying to control her fingers that were shaking with anger, Garcia called Man and told him all about it.

Man looked at Sam who was beckoning to him not far away, he was furious, and after getting Hotch's affirmation, he chased after him.Hotch, who stayed where he was, finally waited for an emergency responder to help him carry Kate into the ambulance.

And when the ambulance was slowly driving through the cordon towards the hospital, Hotch was sitting in the back seat of the car. Through the last window, he saw a young woman who had just gotten out of the taxi. After sweeping his eyes, he rushed to this side .However, she was grabbed by the surrounding policemen...

Michelle!She really came! Hotch stood up excitedly, leaning against the small window and desperately gestured "OK" to Michelle, intending to reassure her not to worry.

Hotch has been standing still, watching the distance between himself and Michelle getting farther and farther, and the face with mixed emotions of worry, anxiety, collapse, and joy is also going away, his... girl ...

Michelle was desperately pushing away the heavily armed policemen who wanted to stop her, "Let me go, let me go, that injured detective is my boyfriend, let me go!" Michelle looked desperately at the passing ambulance, only to find Hotch's face suddenly appeared in the window.Covering her mouth, Michelle tried her best to control herself so that she would not lose control of her emotions, break down and cry, it was him! Michelle understood Hotch's consolation, he was fine, and he even kept exaggerating his mouth-"Don'tworry" to her.Seeing the ambulance whizzing away, Michelle finally shed the tears she had held back for a long time. These were tears of joy and love, as well as tears of victory and pride.

Everything that followed was so rapid and unexpected that in just a few hours, several speeds of life and death were staged.

Fortunately, everyone is fine. Michelle finally stood in the corridor of the newly unblocked hospital, looking at Hotch walking towards her not far away.He even changed into his consistent suit regardless of his injuries.

Michelle stood there quietly, feeling like a world away: Man played with fire as always, and finally brushed shoulders with death; Kate also escaped the fate of dying on the operating table, and is now out of danger; as for the last one... Michelle looked at Hotch who had already walked in front of her, and slowly met his eyes, full of complex feelings of guilt, pride, and joy, but never showed a deep love, No pretense.

Embracing gently, the two didn't say anything, and they didn't need to say anything.No words are hidden in this tender, longing and loving embrace.

The BAU people standing at the other end of the corridor just looked at each other, exchanged a tacit smile, and walked away silently, giving the couple who had experienced too much a space to be alone.

"Uh, sorry, sir?" A cautious voice interrupted their warm moment.

Hotch lowered the arm encircling Michelle, and put one hand around her shoulder instead, before looking at the owner of the voice——

A woman in a nurse's uniform looked at the two of them with a smile and understanding, with embarrassment in her eyes, "Sorry to bother you, but the lady wants to see this man."

Looking in the direction the nurse pointed, Hotch raised his eyebrows, Kate's ward?She has woken up from anesthesia?Looking down at the girl in his arms, he found that Michelle was secretly winking at him, full of teasing, like a cunning little fox.

Hotch couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and asked Michelle intentionally, "Do you need to go in with me?"

The answer was Michelle's slight push. The girl wrinkled her little nose narrowly and pouted her mouth mischievously, "I'm not that stingy! Go, I trust you!" Michelle sat down on the chair in the corner "It happens that I'm tired, let's sit down for a while."

Seeing that Michelle really didn't mind, Hotch understood, should it be said that she had confidence in him or in herself?Bending down and kissing the girl's hair lightly, Hotch said softly, "Wait for me here."

This scene happened to be seen by Kate who was looking out the window. Kate lay on the bed, looked at the high ceiling above her head, and pulled the sheet in her hands in a complicated way. I have to say that she had a crush on Hotch when she worked with Hotch before. Such a serious and responsible American man who is not exaggerated really are rare.It's just that both of them had their own halves at that time, and Kate didn't take it seriously.During this meeting, she already knew that Hotch was divorced, and she had to say that her heart moved a little bit.At the moment of the explosion, Hotch kept holding her hand tightly to give her strength and keep her awake. At that time, Hotch's real worries and fears were really conveyed along the hands they held tightly.In the moment before she fell into the darkness, Kate was still secretly making a decision: If she can still wake up, she must at least try her best.Being able to capture such a man will really be an incomparable happiness.

But... the current scene... Kate lowered her eyes sadly, she could naturally see the faint warmth floating between the two, not strong but deep enough, Hotch really liked this girl.Is it really too late?

When Hotch stepped into the door, Kate had regained her usual self-confidence from contemplation, and looked at him with a smile: "Hi, Hotch, I didn't expect to meet again."

"I said you won't die like this." Hotch naturally saw Kate's teasing, "How does it feel?"

"It hurts. It feels like the painkilling effect of the morphine has gradually faded away." Kate said with a frown. It's true that it doesn't feel good, but... "But it proves that I'm still alive, which is great."

Hotch smiled and said nothing more. Kate couldn't help but glanced at the young girl sitting on the chair looking around boredly, "Is she fine?"

"She's fine." An affirmative answer, but a resolute attitude. Kate stared blankly at Hotch's eyes that couldn't help looking out the window, but the angular profile was unusually soft.She could hear the emotion contained in these three simple words—it was happiness, gratitude, and even pride.

Kate opened her mouth, and finally couldn't help but said to Hotch: "You know I have a crush on you, right?"

"Yes, I know." Short answer, Hotch didn't immediately look away from the window.

An awkward atmosphere suddenly spread in the room, and both of them remained silent without saying anything.Until Hotch finally retracted his gaze, he said another topic without thinking, "At that time, I stopped you because Michelle asked me to call you back."

Naturally knowing that Michelle is the girl outside the window, Kate's brain was occupied by another question, "How could she know..." She suddenly paused, looking at Hotch who lowered her eyes and said nothing, but this time she was even more surprised, "You did not ask?"

Kate opened her mouth and looked at this shrewd man in disbelief, "Aren't you afraid..."

"I believe her." The simple four words intercepted Kate's questioning, Hotch glanced over Kate who was choking on him, and locked tightly on the girl sitting on the chair outside again.Just in time to catch her sneaking glances to this side, Hotch couldn't help laughing when she saw her sticking out her tongue guiltily, and then deliberately turning to the other side to hide it.

This smile made Kate feel sour, and he heard the man's calm but firm answer: "I know everything about her, it can't be related to this incident. Maybe she did hide something, but I don't mind, I'll wait for her to tell The day I confide everything."

"What if there is no such day?" Kate asked, even though she knew that what she did would not affect Hotch at all.

Hotch gave a low laugh, turned around to look at Kate's stubborn eyes, and replied very naturally, "Naturally, continue to wait."

Kate was a little disappointed. Hotch is really a very selfish person. He is extremely tolerant and tolerant to those he likes, but he is merciless to those outside this circle.This time I came to see myself, in fact, it was also to kill my little thoughts that had just emerged in the cradle.

Kate ignored the regret in her heart and waved her hand impatiently, "What a narrow-minded man, get out of my sight!"

Hotch knew that Kate had already understood what he meant, so he didn't stay any longer. It's better to leave her alone at this time.When I walked to the door, I suddenly thought of something, and turned to look at the blonde woman on the hospital bed——

"I didn't actually say anything just now, did I?"

Kate was taken aback for a moment and understood instantly.She raised her chin slightly, her beautiful neck drew a slight arc in the air, and her British accent seemed particularly arrogant and confident: "Of course, who do you think I am?"

Looking at each other and smiling, an atmosphere of tacit understanding flows silently.

Outside the door, Michelle didn't know that Hotch had helped her deal with a potential love rival in advance, and she was seriously looking at the report of Hotch's condition that she just got.It’s okay, okay, Michelle patted herself on the chest. Although she still has some hearing allergies that cause tinnitus from time to time, there is no tearing of the eardrum. If this is the case, it will be fine after a few weeks. Michelle looked at the report happily and laughed. She thought she was successful this time, but she didn't know that Hotch had already seen her flaws, but she was considerate and didn't mention it.

"What looks so happy?" Hotch appeared next to Michelle, condescendingly looking at the report in her hand, "You're happy that I got hurt?" His expression was unfathomable.

Rolling his eyes helplessly, this trick can't fool her now! Michelle threw the medical certificate back into Hotch's arms and stood up, "Finished visiting? Then let's go..."

Hotch raised his eyebrows and looked at the excited girl. Could it be that she was excited because she could take their special plane, then there is no way: "I don't think the plane is still waiting for us now."

"Airplane? Who said we're going to fly?" Michelle was very strange, staring at Hotch with hatred, "You still want to fly with your ears now? Honestly, drive! Follow the doctor's orders!"

Follow the doctor's advice?What kind of doctor's order is this...Hotch shook his head amusedly, and didn't expose the girl's small thoughts, they really didn't have much time to get along well.This time can be regarded as a short car trip, just to accompany her.

The author has something to say: Actually, when I watch the relationship between Hotch and Kate, I always feel that there is something between them.

At least the way Kate looks at Hotch doesn't look like a simple friend. I don't know if you think so?

So here I set it like this, anyway, it has already been HotchK.O., so it should be acceptable.

I personally still like Haley's accent!

The most touching thing in this case is the very warm and loving conversation between Man and Garcia!

"Let me tell you what you are, you are a God-given savior.

woman, you have to promise me,

no matter what happens,

Don't even shut your miraculous mouth on me. "
