[Criminal Minds] The Waiting Behind

The weather is unpredictable, and the plan cannot keep up with the changes.Maybe that's what these words mean.

Michelle sat on the stone with her chin resting, watching her feet draw circles randomly in the sea water, she thought so.

Originally, Hotch took her to the beach to take wedding photos today, which really gave her a lot of surprises.

This sullen man really has a lot of romantic tricks that she can't help but enjoy.

However, this sullen man is a workaholic.

Michelle pursed her lips, quickly made a wave in the water with her feet, and couldn't help but think of the scene just now——

When she came out of the makeshift fitting room, she saw Hotch's figure, and was happily preparing to ask him if she was so beautiful, when she first saw his serious expression of frowning.

Aww, Michelle sighed in her heart, and instantly understood.

Sure enough, I heard Hotch's embarrassing voice: "Michelle, I'm sorry, I just received a call from JJ, saying that there is a case coming soon, and I need to rush back..."

Michelle watched him staring at her expression hesitatingly, as if confirming her own expression, she could only roll her eyes helplessly, and waved her hand, "Go, go, and bring the staff who took pictures with you by the way." let's go!"

"...I will solve it as soon as possible, and come back... You rest here for a few days, and treat it as a vacation?" Hotch's face showed a sorry look, and he gently stepped forward to hug the depressed girl.

"Yeah." Michelle buried herself in Hotch's arms, the voice of agreement was a little muffled by the obstruction of her clothes.

In fact, she just calmed down those grievances, because she was never willing to be a drag on Hotch.

So when she came out of her arms, she had already put on a bright smile: "Go, I'll wait for you."

She looked at the worried eyes of the man, and just nodded heavily, "I'm really fine."

Michelle lifted her feet out of the water, put them on the rocks, and lay down too.

The sun was really dazzling. She covered her eyes with her hands, but couldn't help but think of the soreness in her heart when she watched Hotch leave.

However, even so, she must learn to be patient.

There will be many such things in the future, maybe she needs something to divert her attention?

The temperature of the warm sun on her body made her feel a little drowsy, and just before she fell into a dream, a thought suddenly crossed Michelle's mind.

—Let’s do that.

Hotch walked quickly through the familiar corridor, and through the door of the meeting room, he saw that his team members had already arrived.

"Sorry for ruining your plan." Man made a helpless expression, and now he is still the nominal director of BAU, because Hotch plans to delay his reinstatement due to some things.

"Is Michelle okay?" Emily's eyes flickered with concern, and Reid's gaze followed suit.

The corner of Hotch's mouth curled into a wry smile, "It looks fine, but I'm still somewhat depressed."

"That's natural, women, it's always duplicity." Rossi patted Hotch on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.He was wearing an evening dress with a tie loose around his neck, and he seemed to have been called out from some high-end banquet.

"Let's get started." Hotch glanced at Rossi, ignored his teasing, but looked at JJ, who knowingly picked up the remote control to call up the victim's picture of the case.

This time it was a series of homicides in Franklin, Alaska.For a small town of just over 1400 people, three victims appeared in less than a week, which is really a grim situation.

Since the crime took place in a very closed small fishing village this time, Man specially applied for a satellite line and asked Garcia to go with them to ensure smooth communication.

"If the murderer still maintains this pattern, then it is less than a day before his next crime, let us solve it as soon as possible."

Everyone stood up knowingly, ready to leave the meeting room to get their luggage.

Hotch was specifically stopped by Man, and there were only two figures standing opposite each other in the conference room.

"Strauss talked to me and said that you submitted a written application to suspend reinstatement." Man said lightly, although he somewhat guessed the reason for Hotch's doing so, he still wanted to verify it in person.

"Hmm." Hotch didn't hide much, "I plan to take a good rest and be with Michelle. I've been thinking about this idea since Foyet's matter came to an end. Originally, the written report will start next Monday, so I plan to bring She went to the beach to take wedding photos..."

"Actually, it's okay for you not to participate in this case, we can all understand..."

Man's words were interrupted by Hotch waving his hand, "Since the report is due next Monday, let's follow this. Let's solve it quickly."

Man's face slowly relaxed, "If you need help, just say it." After receiving Hotch's nod, he changed into his original narrow expression, "Call Michelle before you go, Otherwise, the signal is not good and you can't make a phone call, be careful that the bride-to-be escapes marriage!"

Hotch shook his head amusedly as he watched Man walk out of the conference room quickly and burst out laughing, but still took out his phone.

"Didi——" the continuous ringing of the phone made Michelle, who was sleeping soundly, frowned unconsciously, and turned over, but was awakened even more by the hard cackling sensation under her body.

"Hello?" Michelle couldn't fall asleep now, turned over and picked up the caller without even looking at the caller ID.

"…Just woke up?"

"Hmm." Michelle was not at all surprised that Hotch heard this, she cleared her throat with a few coughs, and listened to Hotch's patient explanation over there.

"I see, I handed over the store to Wu, and I'm resting here for a few days." Knowing that Hotch is most worried about her own mood, she said quickly.

Michelle looked at the sun that was about to sink to the horizon in the distance, surrounded by fiery red clouds, she was fascinated by the unique shocking charm of nature, and couldn't help murmuring, "Aaron, you should really watch the sunset here, gorgeous."

"As soon as my case is over, I'll come back to accompany you." Hotch's faint comfort came, with a hint of cautious flattery.

Michelle raised the corners of her mouth amusedly, and her laughing voice spread far in the vast space, and the sound of ocean waves clearly reached Hotch's ears: "Do you think I'm a doll made of glass? I'm not so Fragile."

"You've done your best to give me all your time outside of work, and I won't be angry."

Michelle looked at the other side of the sea, where the last trace of heat was about to die down, and night was coming.

She heard the thoughts that Hotch confided in a low voice, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she smiled slowly.

——In this way, it was enough happiness for her.

"boom".

Hotch stood on the rickety fishing boat, put down the gun in his hand, and looked at the culprit who had already boarded the boat—a blond boy with a childish face, Owen.

He was obviously stunned, because his friend Joshua, who once protected him but abandoned him, and now wanted to shoot him because his mother was killed, was shot in the shoulder by the FBI and fell to the ground.

Hotch looked at Owen who was obviously shocked, took off the sunglasses he was wearing, and looked at the sea sparkling in the sun.

Calm but serene.

It's as if this is still the closed town, and these tragic murders never happened.

Human emotion is a terrible thing. Hotch slowly stepped on the step ashore, looking at Joshua with a look of resentment, he certainly would not have thought that the teenager who was under his protection back then ended up brutally killing his mother.Just because he left Owen and left here.

Hotch walked slowly away from the sad pier, squinting his eyes involuntarily under the glare of the sun.

As far as the eye can see, it is a blue and wide sea, which is extremely similar to another place.A girl's bright smile flashed across my mind.

He lowered his head and smiled, and walked towards the black SUV: Maybe, human emotions are not so terrible, and sometimes they can bring people endless happiness.

--the job is done.

At night, a wooden house hotel by the quiet beach.

Michelle took a big sip of the cold and refreshing drink in her hand, and let out a satisfied sigh.She looked out the window, and the sound of waves hitting the beach came slowly, which made people feel extraordinarily peaceful.

This is indeed a resort, Michelle thought lightly, far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, bid farewell to the noisy crowd, there is a different kind of comfort, like returning to the most primitive beginning, and both body and mind can get a kind of relaxation.

"A piece of apple pie and a piece of cheddar cheese." A familiar deep voice sounded beside her, and Michelle looked up in surprise, just in time to see a man in a shirt sitting across from her.

"When did you come back, why didn't you tell me?"

Hotch naturally heard that this was just the girl's coquettish coquettishness, and it had nothing to do with complaining, so he just opened a gentle smile: "I just want to give you a surprise."

Before the girl could say anything, Hotch told Michelle about the report he had filed, "...this is my last case for a while, and I'm going to start my long vacation from now on."

"Long? Why..." Michelle's puzzled question slowly disappeared under Hotch's gentle gaze.She turned around blushing and continued to drink the drink, but she didn't know what it tasted like, and she just silently cast aside her own slowness and hindsight.

I have already proposed, and now I have brought her to the beach to take wedding photos, so what is the reason for the long vacation?

This meal was delicious for Hotch, because he almost ate everything while watching the girl's flushed face with a smile.

After dinner, the two walked hand in hand on the beach at night.Quiet and no one, only the sound of waves hitting the rocks can be heard layer by layer.

Extraordinarily peaceful and relaxing.

Michelle turned her head to look at the man with a happy face beside her, but she still felt that everything was so dreamy——does she really have this man?

"Otherwise?" When she heard the faint smile of the man next to her ear, she realized that she had said this sentence unconsciously.

"You have me, and I have you." Michelle felt that Hotch's words made her heart flutter, as if she had been shot by Cupid's arrow, and she could only indulge in the man's doting love In his eyes, he watched his face gradually enlarge in front of him.

It was as if she saw the starry sky in the man's deep eyes, so bright and bright that it made people sink.

The slight touch on her mouth reminded her that none of this was a dream. Michelle felt gradually being laid down on the beach, feeling weak all over, and the only thing she could do was to look at the man above her and listen to his meaningful whispers.

——"The night here is equally beautiful."

The author has something to say: Hahaha, the author himself likes to play tricks

"The sunset is beautiful, Aaron"

"Night is more beautiful, Michelle"

"Hey Hundan, are you touching there? Hey...um..."

Hahahaha, the scene of the imagination -3-

Hun Jiong threw a landmine, I shouldn't have mentioned cough cough at work [Ah, I mentioned it again!

Wei Wei throws a mine, it feels good to emerge from diving, haha!
