back to the start

"Thank you for the flowers!" Grasia excitedly knocked on the door of Gideon's office, and said happily to Gideon who was looking at the documents, "I know that I am sometimes challenging, but thank you for your work. J· Gidoen."

"Thank you very much for your appreciation." Grasia stuck the card with the message on her chest. "BTW, you're not challenging at all, oh no, you're totally challenging! But you're not challenging in a bad way, Sir."

"Thank you again for the flowers!" Gideon watched Grasia's excited back disappear into the office door, took off his glasses and asked JJ who entered the door, "What does BTW mean?"

"The abbreviation for Bytheway on the Internet..." JJ's gossiping eyes explored Gideon's blank expression for a while, then turned serious and said, "In Wilmington, Delaware, there is an 11-year-old child Missing, we need to get there as soon as possible."

"Show it to Elle? She has a lot of experience in this area."

JJ nodded, and was stopped by Gideon when he was about to leave, "How is Jessie recovering?"

"It's not bad, but Elle applied to Hotch to let her rest for another day, and join her in the next case." JJ imagined how Jessie was ordered by Elle to stay on the bed with nothing to do, and couldn't help laughing.

As soon as Elle entered the cabin, she saw Jessie sitting on the armchair looking at the file.The person who is concentrating on the case in front of him is completely different from the little doctor who swore to him in the morning to take good care of his body.

"You should be resting in bed at this time." Elle put down her bag and sat next to Jessie, "So, why are you here?"

The help signal sent by Jessie was ignored by Hotch with a blink of an eye, and he prevaricated for a long time, "Well, I've been lying on the bed for a long time, so I need to change my mind."

What a worry-free guy... Elle murmured in her heart, and angrily took part of the file to share.

"Witnesses saw her being snatched away by a man driving a green SUV." Moragn sorted out the information he already had, "There have been many such cases of missing children in this residential area. Kidnapping girls as an excuse."

"According to survey statistics, the vast majority of children were killed within 24 hours of their disappearance..." Reid looked up at the crowd, "And we only received the notification 20 hours after the incident."

"We have less than 4 hours to find the missing Billie." Hotch looked at his watch, "JJ, be responsible for telling the media not to magnify this matter and cause irrational influence and resistance. We have to maximize Billie's safety." Be safe and avoid provoking the murderer."

"After getting off the plane, I'll go and talk to her mother."

"I'll go with you." Elle called Gideon, "...I can feel her mother's remorse more personally...after all, the last thing she did before her daughter disappeared was argue with her."

Jessie's hand that flipped the pages paused for a moment, remembering Elle's life experience, she sighed softly in her heart without leaving a trace.

"How can we control the public opinion and the panic of the people? I mean, the local news reports have announced the vehicle driven by the suspect, but there are no residents to provide help and guidance."

JJ drafted the speech and asked for everyone's help.

"To put it another way." Elle thought for a while, "We can tell the public that the previous statement was wrong, tell them that the man in the green SUV is a witness, and he can help us find Billie."

"In this way, the residents of the town will not refuse to observe their neighbors or acquaintances because they suspect that they are a pedophile. They will provide us with known information to help us find Billie." Jessie added .

"Not bad..." Elle looked approvingly at the little doctor nestled on the sofa, "I'm still worried about what sequelae you may have..."

"How can I be so weak..." Jessie muttered in dissatisfaction and was ignored by someone.

(But little doctor, in Elle's eyes, you are the kind who is super easy to be pushed down...)

"Gideon smashed people's windows following the information provided by the residents." JJ ran into Billie's house and said to Elle and Jessie who stayed here to investigate.

"But we didn't apply for a search warrant..." Elle got up from the sofa, surprised by Gidoen's behavior, "Why is he so impulsive this time?"

"Even if you apply for a search warrant, you can't smash the window..." Jessie looked at the brilliant sunset outside the window, "I hope this time the criminal didn't speed up the progress of the crime."

"We caught the owner of the house, and most of the things we found matched the profile that had been done on the plane." JJ looked at Billie's parents anxiously and expectantly, "Sorry, we didn't find... Billie ..."

"Did he say anything?"

JJ shook his head, "He's cunning, he won't say anything until the lawyer arrives."

"I'll apply." Elle walked out the door aggressively.

"Elle!" Jessie and JJ looked at each other and followed Elle's footsteps.

"Agent." Billie's mother called to stop the three people walking forward, "My daughter..."

"Don't worry, we will find her." Elle turned around and comforted the two of them softly.

"Why is mother's remorse and despair far greater than that of father?" JJ was a little puzzled after walking out the door.

"If something really happened to her daughter, the last words she said to her daughter would be 'I'll punish you for a run now' instead of 'I love you'. Some words, you can never say them again."

The wind passed through the trees on both sides of the street, making a whining sound. Through the whistling, Jessie could still feel the suppressed sadness and regret in Elle's tone.

"She'll be fine, we'll find her." Jessie met Elle's gaze looking up at her, "I promise."

JJ didn't speak, just stood aside and looked at the two of them, and suddenly remembered the intermittent sentences that Jessie in the chemical plant had muttered and repeated in a coma.

She seemed as sure of what happened in the future as if she had experienced it.

Gidoen successfully found Billie on the partition of the vent in the room. The murderer's lawyer did not wait, but instead waited for an arrest warrant.

"When you said goodbye to Billie's family just now, what did you say to them for so long?" Morgan asked Elle while playing cards with Reid. "Oh, this is bad luck again..."

"Tell me something about my childhood." Elle sat across from Gideon and Jessie with coffee, "Her father's time is running out, I hope their family can be together."

The tone of pretending to be relaxed inadvertently looked at the two people in front of him who had their own concerns, one had deep eyes, with countless emotions hidden in the pupils; the other had empty eyes, as if they were engaged in some psychological struggle.

The sadness that Elle thought she was hiding was seen by the two, and she blinked uncomfortably.

"Hey, Hotch." Gideon said after struggling for a long time, "You sent flowers to the girl in the technical department—Grasia, and then said I sent them, right?"

"Correct."

Seeing Gideon lost in thought again," Hotch explained, "Jason, people need to be valued, and sometimes you tend to miss that. "

"I already gave her a gift, Mp3..." Gideon blinked innocently at Hotch, "What if she thinks I'm chasing her?"

……

Hotch: "..."

Morgan and JJ, who listened to the gossip, were careless, and Reid won another grand slam...

"Do you think their family will be together?" Elle returned home, resting her chin and looking at Jessie.

"Yes." Jessie replied without hesitation.

"That's what Gideon told me on the plane, but he didn't tell me why."

Jessie rubbed Elle's head, "He's dying... If he wanted to leave the world alone before this happened without hurting his family, then after going through this storm, their family will never be separated again , because I don’t want to leave regrets.”

What Jessie said later, Elle was no longer in the mood to listen, her mind was full of the pampering eyes of the little doctor when she touched her head...

"I have something to ask you." Elle rested her chin on Jessie's shoulder, "When the Ohio case happened, you deliberately provoked Mike so that he could inject you with drugs so that you could write a suicide note, right?"

The account that should be settled still has to be settled... Jessie had an apology in her eyes and acquiesced to this speculation.

"You!" Elle pushed Jessie. She was too busy getting her back to recover and forgot about it a few days ago, "Do you know that you put yourself in danger, in case I didn't read your hidden words?" Han means..."

"But I believe in you. Just like I believe that JJ can stab him in the back of the heart."

"It's different." Elle turned her head away, "At least, I treat you differently."

Jessie took a deep breath, trying to change the subject, "Elle..."

"I like you……"

Jessie felt that time stood still for a moment, and before she had time to choose her words, Elle took a step closer to verify, "Do you like me? JJ said, you kept calling my name when you were unconscious..."

"I..." Jessie's face turned red all of a sudden, "JJ...I told her not to talk...not to sell me like this..."

The corners of Elle's mouth curled into an imperceptible arc, and she chuckled, "Look, you're scared, JJ didn't say anything, I just guessed it myself."

Jessie was embarrassed, and her carefully managed thoughts were suddenly opened, biting her lower lip and trying to look away, and Elle hugged her neck.

"Answer the questions, little doctor."

Jessie saw her little self in the pupils of the person in front of her. Elle's breath was getting closer and closer. She sighed softly and closed her eyes in self-deception.

"When I kissed you just now, your heartbeat reached at least 120 beats per minute." Elle stood up and looked provocatively at Jessie who was kissed into the sofa, "You like me, right?"

"You bully people..." The little doctor who was still out of breath straightened up and bit Elle's lips in retaliation.Trying to counterattack, he was crushed under him in less than three seconds.

"Your strength is too weak..." Elle touched her lower lip, her eyes were rarely aggressive.

"I let you..." The person below continued to speak stiffly, "I carried you back when you fell asleep... Uh... hiss..."

"I don't mind if you continue to let me tonight." Elle whispered softly in Jessie's ear. "No, let me see how strong you are, anyway, tomorrow is the weekend..."

"...I...wouldn't...let you..." Jessie hated counterattacks with too much disparity in power... It seemed that he would still have to find an opportunity to sneak in in the future.

The author has something to say: (>^ω^<)

This example tells us that it's okay not to touch your subject's head

I don't know if it will be pushed down someday.

This can only be called meat and bones, right...it doesn't even count as meat residue (covering head)
