back to the start

Hotch returned to his love nest with Haley, and saw that the neatly manicured lawn was covered with luxuriant weeds. He pushed open the slightly dusty door and stepped into the house he hadn't entered for a long time.

Elle and Rossi followed, with guns strapped to their waists drawn.

There was a strange sound coming from the back door, several people held their breaths and concentrated, and huddled in the entrance, a slender reflection appeared in front of the three of them under the sunlight.

The man held back his breath and explored cautiously.

"JJ." Rossi heard the approaching footsteps, and sounded puzzled.

"Are you there?" JJ put away the gun, "I received a call from Jessie, she said that you might be here." She looked around for a week, "I didn't find it on the first floor, let's go upstairs."

"Where's Emily?" Elle was curious when she saw JJ alone.

"We received news from Jessie that they were injured on the way. Emily went to the hospital. I rushed here after receiving Jessie's message."

She went upstairs and opened the bedroom door to see Haley strapped to a chair.

"He said you were dead." It was the first thing Haley said when he saw Hotch.The second sentence is:

"Don't come here, I have a bomb on me."

"I'll call the bomb disposal experts right away." Hotch frowned, watching the 10-minute countdown displayed on the bomb on Haley's chest.

"I told Jack you wanted him to investigate." Haley smiled. "The moment I saw that man, I knew I was being scammed. Your colleagues once told me to contact you no matter what happened. I forgot ..."

"Go to Jack first..." Haley urged.

Hotch looked up at her affectionately and went out the door. "Elle, JJ, you guys come here."

Elle followed him to the next room, and Hotch opened the door, locking eyes on a box next to the desk.

With trembling hands, he opened the lid.

"Dad, I'm investigating the case according to what you said." Hearing Jack's crisp voice, Hotch was slightly relieved, picked up Jack and handed it to Elle, and said softly, "Well done little guy, you did a great job Great."

"What's wrong with you? Dad?" Jack didn't know what happened.After staying in the box for too long, his face was a little flushed due to lack of oxygen.

"I'm fine, can you go out with the two sisters for a while first?" Hotch handed Jack to JJ's hands, "You and Elle take him back to the hospital."

"Hotch..." Elle said, "the bomb disposal experts can't be here in 10 minutes."

"I know." Hotch nodded. "Foyet knew that Morgan had a military background and was good at bombing, so he hurt Morgan."

"We stay here..."

"It's useless." Hotch interrupted Elle, "Take Jack away."

"This is an order."

Elle couldn't resist him, so she had to go back to the hospital with JJ first.

In the hospital, Emily and Megan looked at Jessie and Morgan on the hospital bed, speechless.

"I'm really fine..." the two people on the bed said pitifully.

"No!" They refused in unison.

"Can't I come down for a walk?" Jessie muttered in a low voice, "The leg is not broken..."

"No...Your family must be very distressed. Knowing that you got out of bed and ran around, you have to tear down the hospital..."

Jessie's face turned red all of a sudden, Emily couldn't help laughing when she heard Megan's interpretation, and Morgan also joked, "It's nice to have someone feel sorry for you~"

"You guys are just envious and jealous..." the little doctor plausibly said.

"Oh! hotchocolate!" Gracia's voice came from far to near with the sound of Reid crutches. "How did you make yourself like this?" Before Morgan could speak, she waved her hand again, "But I don't have time now, Emily quickly turn on the phone and contact Rossi, Rossi and Hotch need Morgan to help them remove the straps tied to Haley's body -Bo-bomb, we only have 4 minutes... The photo of Bo-bomb has been sent to Jessie's phone, take a look."

"You need to enter a five-digit password." Morgan observed the picture sent, "Did you see the little number at the bottom? We only have three chances."

Emily turned on the speaker, and a group of people gathered in front of Morgan's bed, listening intently to Morgan's words. Jessie put on a dress, rolled off the bed, and stood aside.

"Five digits?" came Rossi's confused voice. "Could it be his own name? Foyet... exactly five words."

"It's not impossible..." Reid took the stool next to him and sat down, and began to deduce, "Using his own name as the password is in line with his strong desire to rule, but is it too simple?"

"Let's try it first..." Hotch crouched in front of Haley and typed Foyet's name.

Display error.

"No...Reid." Hotch took a deep breath to ease his tension, "No."

"How long is left?" Megan, who had been silent all this time, asked suddenly.

"Two and a half minutes, and the last two chances." The little doctor replied.

"How about trying your name? Aaron, isn't it also five words?"

"This is not a password that can be formed by just looking for five letters..." Emily hesitated, but was quickly interrupted by Hotch, "Are you sure, Megan?"

"I was guessing randomly..." Megan lowered her head and bit her lip, "You better not listen to me..."

Through the phone, she could also hear Hotch's chuckle, "It's okay, trust your intuition."

"I can't believe..."

"I believe." Hotch looked at the phone Rossi was holding in his hand, turned his head and typed his name on the phone connected to the bomb. "

"The password is correct..."

Before Jessie and his group could let go of their hanging hearts, they heard a low cry from the other end.

"What's wrong?" Jessie couldn't help worrying.

"It's just another timer popping up." Hotch raised his hand to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, and carefully separated the two leads, one red and one blue.For only 30 seconds, without looking up, he said to Rossi:

"Hang up the phone, Dave, you have to get out of here." Hotch pursed his lips, "We have to leave one of us to go back to organize the work of the group."

Rossi turned off the phone, and before Jessie and the others could speak, they heard a busy tone.

……

"He said there's 30 seconds left." Jessie tapped her right hand on her bandaged left arm, her eyes downcast, on the glistening white floor of the hospital. "Except for the time to talk, we still have..."

"23 seconds." Reid was a little uneasy, and asked tentatively, "They will call back after a while, right..."

"Yes..." Jessie endured the anxiety in her heart and said softly.

The ward was very quiet for a while. Morgan leaned against the head of the bed, patting Gracia's back to comfort her; Reid sat at the end of the bed, resting her chin and said nothing; Jessie leaned against the wall, silently with Emily; Megan closed her eyes, silently Counting the time.

ten seconds...

20 second……

30 second……

1 minutes……

No calls came in to respond.

JJ and Elle took Jack and pushed open the door of the ward. Before they got close, they felt the depressed atmosphere of the crowd.

"You guys, what's the matter?" Elle put down Jack in her arms, and immediately caught a glimpse of Jessie who slipped out of bed and leaned against the wall.She walked up to the little doctor with downcast eyes, and put her hand on Jessie's shoulder, "What happened?"

"Aren't you with Hotch?" Jessie looked at Jack who fell into Reid's arms, "He and Rossi met the bomb left by Foyet." She paused, "The phone hung up, we can't contact superior……"

"Actually..." Elle smiled and patted the little doctor's head, "They are already on their way back..."

"Hotch cut the thread right?" Jessie's tone brightened, sweeping away the previous haze.

"We also just received the information downstairs in the hospital." JJ closed the door, "It made everyone worry..."

At this point, the big stone in the hearts of several people fell steadily. Gracia took Jack from Reid's arms and took him out to play. Reid left the ward with crutches. Jessie relaxed, and subconsciously shrugged, pulling the wound as expected.

"Hiss..." The little doctor gasped.

"Troublesome..." Elle held Jessie by the collar and obediently laid her back on the bed, and began to settle accounts after autumn, "Let's talk, why don't you lie down and recuperate, why come down to blow air?"

Jessie knew she was wrong, she rolled her eyes for a long time but couldn't think of a reply, she blinked and looked at Elle, trying to divert the attention of the person in front of her through this skin...

Beauty, which has always worked well, seems to be ineffective today. Elle bluntly put an end to the little doctor's cuteness, "Again, it's useless this time." She leaned down and stretched out her hand to trace Jessie's eyebrows, "Every time you are so disobedient... Tell me, I should punish you like this ?”

Jessie's eyelashes trembled slightly, and when she caught a glimpse of a smirk at the corner of Elle's mouth, her face suddenly turned red...

"Hey, hey, you two, I'm still here..."

Elle didn't even look at it, she picked up Morgan's coat that was draped over the back of the chair, and with a flick of her hand, the coat landed on Morgan's face accurately.

Out of sight out of mind……

She scratched the little doctor's nose, "Be obedient, I'm going to deal with the aftermath." Jessie looked at the back of Elle leaving with a smile, and it took a while to realize that her ears were hot.

The temperature in the room was too high.

The little doctor started a new wave of self-deception mode.Looking at Morgan who took off his coat and looked at him, he raised his eyebrows helplessly:

"Sorry, spoiled."

Morgan: "..."

When Hotch and Rossi arrived at the hospital with Haley, Megan and Elle were waiting in the lobby on the ground floor.

"Thank goodness you're all right." Elle smiled, looking at Rossi and Hotch, "Hung up and didn't call back, you're so worried."

Hotch scratched his head apologetically, "Sorry, the situation is urgent, I cut the lead wire short and left the room in a hurry..."

"Jack is at Spence and JJ's place." Megan spoke quickly, Hotch and Haley were stunned for a moment, Rossi and Elle sensed the awkwardness in the air, and went to the second floor under the pretense of checking Morgan and Jessie's injuries.

Hotch glanced at Haley, then at Megan, feeling a bit big...

Haley didn't give him a chance to speak, "I want to see Jack..." She turned to look at Hotch, "Actually, I've already planned my life with Jack."

"Aaron, I'm sorry, I just want him to grow up safely..."

"You don't need to explain..." Hotch muffled back, "I brought you an indelible danger...I didn't do my duty..."

"I don't want to delay you." Haley smiled, and Hotch realized that she had really lost a lot of weight, and her eyes were full of exhaustion, "You are an excellent agent, and if we are together again, it will only hinder your development... "

Hotch wanted to say something, but couldn't say a word.He knew in his heart that the moment Haley said she didn't want to delay her, she had already given up on herself...
