[Criminal Minds] Turn around and sunny

My classmates didn't have much impression, and Amanda could only give a vague answer.It's just her answer, but the two fell into an embarrassing silence.

However, this kind of embarrassment was only relative to Jack, and Amanda didn't realize it at all, so when he was about to walk into the classroom, Jack suddenly quickened his pace and felt a little strange.It is only 10 minutes from the gate of the university to the class, but these 10 minutes make Jack feel more difficult than a century.

He vowed never to provoke such a girl again, this is definitely asking for trouble for himself.

Amanda gave Jack a puzzled look and lost herself in her own world again. She looked at her phone and replied, "I promise to be there on time. This week is off." Then put the phone in her pocket again middle.

She nodded at Jack, walked into the classroom and walked to her usual seat, a corner facing the window, and she couldn't see the front clearly.There are not many students in the American classroom, and she sits the farthest away from the crowd.She still has no way to truly integrate herself into this world that does not belong to her.

The sense of isolation that follows her everywhere has always been by her side and has never gone far.

Raising her head and seeing the professor walking in, Amanda restrained her thoughts and looked ahead indifferently. Survival is what she needs to consider most now.Others, including the goodwill towards that person, should be stored temporarily.

2.002. Relaxation and sadness on weekends

The sun on the weekend makes people feel hot and dry.Raising her hand, Amanda covered the sun. Such sunlight was a bit harsh for her who had just woken up from her sleep.At the airport and in the empty square, people with different expressions came and went, most of them with indifferent expressions.For them, the plane has become a convenient means of transportation similar to the train.

Carrying her own small bag, for Amanda who doesn't plan to stay here for a long time, there is no need for too much luggage.She is only going to stay at Cole's house for one night, and she still has some clothes left at Cole's house.She can be regarded as a regular user of Cole's house.

The steps are easy, and Amanda has her usual smile on her face.She doesn't like to torture herself with irritability, she prefers to decorate herself with a smile, and soon saw the familiar voice, Amanda's eyes flashed with joy.Quickening her pace, Amanda shouted loudly.

"Aunt. Cole, long time no see." Amanda stepped forward quickly and hugged Cole who was standing in front of her.For such a lonely elder who has always taken care of her unconditionally and loved her, she is full of gratitude and respect.

Cole also had a hint of a smile on his face, but soon returned to his usual expression.There was a trace of worry on her face, ever since she decided to dedicate the rest of her life to the anti-child crime organization, she had this expression on her face, "If you often visit me as an old man, you won't Say something like that!"

Amanda smiled, took Cole's arm, and walked outside with her. There was a flattering smile on her face. Although she knew that what Cole said was just to scare her, she still couldn't help thinking To cooperate.

With the current high-speed transportation network, it didn't take too long to get to Cole's home from the airport. Opening the familiar door, Amanda felt that her restless heart gradually calmed down.

"Coffee or juice, Amanda?" Cole walked to the kitchen and turned around to ask Amanda. She had been driving just now and found that Amanda's expression was not very good. Hot milk."

"Is everything new?" Standing at the door of the kitchen, seeing Cole's opened refrigerator, most of the items inside have not been opened, Amanda raised her eyebrows, for Cole and Gideon, they treat work meals as food for life All these attitudes expressed strong dissatisfaction, "Isn't it so busy at work? Takeaway is not something that should be eaten every day." Amanda has always had feelings for the elders who have been helping her since she first crossed over. Enough respect and care, what should be pointed out, or merciless criticism!

"Yes, sometimes, I don't know how long I can continue to do my work." There is exhaustion in the tone that cannot be concealed. The long-term pressure and the recent troubles make this strong man at work also show The underdog.No one can get used to being alone for a long time, but their career determines that they cannot have a normal family life.

"Maybe you should rest for a while." Amanda gave Cole advice from the standpoint of an outsider, but she knew that this was not realistic.They can't stop working, and they won't even have normal vacations.

Cole shook his head. "You don't know, Amanda, I just gave up on trying to find a baby. I don't know how I made that decision, and I'm starting to wonder what I'm even going to be able to do." Frustrated, it is obviously a difficult decision for her who is determined, and she has even begun to doubt herself.Although she said to herself countless times, this is just to find other children who are easier to find and help more children.

"We are not supermen, that just exists in the comics, what we can do is only within the scope of our ability, and worrying about things beyond our ability is just adding to the sadness," Amanda smiled slightly, "You It's already done well enough. At least, it's much better than me." Amanda walked to Cole's side, patted the elder on the shoulder, "Don't forget me when you're tired!"

"I let you, a kid, come to comfort me, am I a failed guy?" Cole smiled and didn't continue the topic. Amanda knew that it wasn't that she didn't care anymore, but that it was buried in her heart as a shadow. One day, these negative emotions would explode together, causing her spirit to suffer great pain and even collapse, but there was nothing she could do about it .There are some wounds that only you can lick.

"I've always missed Aunt's apple pie, and I didn't expect to be able to eat it today." Changing the subject, Amanda is not very good at this aspect. Taking the plate from Cole's hand, Amanda walked towards the restaurant.She has nothing to say, it's really annoying, she doesn't even have the ability to make people happy.

"I just saw Gideon yesterday, and he seems to have returned to BAU." Amanda, who had nothing to say, spurned herself and turned the topic back to this direction.

Cole shook his head, expressing regret and some understanding of his old colleague's decision. "That's the place where there's really no holidays, no rest, and no sex. Gideon probably hasn't untied his knot yet. Going back? That kind of place will leave sooner or later. I'm fine, it's still Max." Sure enough, there was another gloomy look on Cole's face.As the first batch of crime profilers, how could she have no memory of that place?It's just that things are different, and perhaps for her, what she wants to do now is to protect the children more.

Amanda felt that her language was pale and terrible, and racked her brains, she couldn't think of any better comforting words, "If you want to be a hero, you must make efforts that ordinary people can't persist, unless, one day you also find that you have changed. Became an alien. Well, that would be Superman. But there are things even Superman can’t do, the sun can’t shine on every land.”

"Honey, don't discuss such a serious topic, maybe you can talk about yourself. Amanda, it really surprises me that such a charming girl like you hasn't had a boyfriend yet." Cole took the initiative to change the topic, for This child like her daughter, she doesn't want her to carry too many heavy emotions.Sitting at the dining table, Cole looked at Amanda across the way, with a little teasing in her eyes. She prepared most of the food before going to the airport.

Amanda was full of helplessness when the topic was brought up on her, but more relaxed.It's better than being sad and heavy all the time.

"This kind of thing, you can't be impatient." This is what she used to prevaricate her mother in her previous life. She was forced to go on a blind date after graduating from university. This kind of life is too painful.However, Americans seem to be very open about this aspect. After all, there are too many unmarried women here, but as a girl who has not yet had a first love, it is still rare.

Cole shook his head with a smile, "No matter what, family is an indispensable part. It's too tiring to be alone." There was a trace of sentimentality in his tone, Cole must have been having trouble recently.Normally, she seldom puts work into her life.But people like them rarely have time purely for themselves.Work takes up most of the time outside of sleep.

"It's still early, what's more, I will definitely not be a colleague with you. I can't bear the heavy workload. I just
