back to the start

Elle was a little depressed, obviously she fired the gun first, but a guy with a particularly low EQ thanked JJ.Coincidentally, it happened in front of my own face.She had to admit that the sudden hug and ravings from the little doctor outside the crematorium warmed her heart that had been dusty for a long time.But Jessie never came to her after that.She closed herself for too long, so long that even when a gentle person appeared, Elle didn't know how to get close.

Elle was so angry that she didn't go over the wall to Jessie's hospital for a week, but she hoped that Jessie would suddenly appear in front of her. She remembered that she still owed the little doctor a meal, but she didn't want to use this reason to ask someone out so quickly , such a good reason, it is not too late to keep it for future use.

"We've only been at work for less than half an hour, and you've been spinning your pen for 15 minutes, staring at the blank document in front of you for 10 minutes...Greenaway, what are you thinking?" Morgan's voice sounded faintly above his head, and he was in a daze Elle was taken aback.

"It's not like a work worry..." Reid, who was across the desk, thought about his words, "I think it's more likely emotionally."

"Ahem, kid, you still don't understand." Elle tried to explain, remembering her previous experience of getting darker and darker, she obediently shut her mouth.

"There was another explosion in Palm Beach. Hotch and Gideon are preparing. Go to the conference room to gather. I'll be here immediately after I hand over the media." JJ came out of the office to inform everyone, and when he walked to the stairs, he suddenly saw Morgan, dressed casually, couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

Sensing JJ's puzzled eyes, Morgan looked at his outfit and explained, "To prevent people from being said to be puzzled, I plan to start changing from the outfit."

JJ remembered that he laughed at him for being puzzled a few days ago, and nodded dumbfoundingly.

Elle and Reid exchanged glances, got up and walked to the conference room, leaving Morgan still immersed in his narcissism.

"There is another case, and it may be busy for a few days." After hesitating for a long time, Elle still sent a text message to Jessie.

The moment the phone rang, Jessie took it out of her coat pocket, and after seeing the sender clearly, the corners of her mouth couldn't stop rising.Fingers moved quickly on the screen keyboard.

"Be careful and wait for your return." Elle looked at the message she received, smiled knowingly, turned around and boarded the plane to Palm Beach.

Jessie put down her mobile phone and saw the bombing that had been repeatedly broadcast on TV for a day, with worry and confusion in her eyes. "I hope there is still time and opportunity to change..." She sighed softly, picked up the case analysis on PTSD in front of her and read it again.

Elle didn't expect that not only did she stay for five days, but she also experienced a wave of explosions at close range.When Hotch and herself hid at the corner of the corridor and Walker detonated the gun in the storage room, she felt a little scared in her heart, regretting that she hadn't been able to go over the wall to talk to the little doctor more often.Before asking her why she was so afraid of shooting herself, Elle secretly thought as she listened to the roar of the explosion sweeping past her ears.

It was almost late at night when she returned to Washington after the case was over. Elle wandered to the back door of Jessie's hospital alone.

As soon as one leg stepped into the window, Jessie's desk was placed at an angle facing the window. When he looked up, he saw Jessie, who hadn't seen him for two weeks, leisurely with his arms folded, leaning against the window, with a gleam in his eyes. looked at himself with a smile.

Elle was so frightened that she almost let go of her hand, gathered herself together, pretended to be angry and said to the silent Jessie, "Don't give me a hand..."

The person in the white coat in front of him was like a little white rabbit, tentatively stretching out his hand, Elle grabbed it and entered the room.

"What are you doing standing outside the window in the middle of the night?" Elle, who was startled, obviously hadn't calmed down yet, "Don't tell me you're watching the moon..."

"The moon is in the sky, but not on the ground. I'm waiting for you." Jessie motioned Elle to sit on the sofa, "I widened the window a few inches after you left last time, so that you can come in, but this time I almost fell gone?"

"I'm not scared by you..." Elle muttered softly, "Next time, don't stand silently by the window, you're scared to death..."

Jessie smiled helplessly, and changed the subject, "The case is over? Is it going well?"

"Maybe..." Elle raised her chin and said, "I was almost killed..."

Jessie quietly listened to Elle talking about the experience of the Palm Beach bombing case. Although she had recalled it many times in private, she still had a different feeling when she heard Elle tell it again.

"Do you think Gideon's PTSD can recover?" Elle looked at the thick stack of PTSD medical records on the desk, a little hesitant, "Since the last incident in Boston, Hotch has been worried..."

"Every one of us grows up with a little bit of trauma. The so-called psychological treatment is just to constantly improve ourselves with the help of the therapist. Gideon sent Bale to prison twice. For him, this It’s also recovery in another sense.”

Seeing that Elle nodded half-understanding, Jessie's eyes flickered, and she tapped a stack of medical records with her fingers to hide her nervousness. "Actually, PTSD is not that terrible and serious. Well, you also know that although this condition varies from person to person, psychological treatment is far better than drug treatment... The most important thing is to look at your own adjustment and overcoming..."

"If one day I suffer from this disease, you will be by my side to enlighten me, right?" Elle couldn't help joking when she saw the series of professional explanations from the person in front of her.

Jessie looked up at Elle in disbelief, her eyes were filled with unspeakable emotions, calmness, worry, and deep fear and despair... She suppressed the emotions in her eyes and tried to keep her voice calm, " I don't want any of you to get this disease, or to be by your side in this way..."

"Yeah..." Elle nodded hastily, "That means you can stay with me in a different capacity."

"Yeah..." Jessie still had lingering fears about what she said just now, and didn't pay attention to what Elle said, and when she realized it, she suddenly felt something was wrong, "What did you just say?"

"After experiencing the bone flute case in Nevada, Hotch and Gideon were full of praise for your ability. Yesterday Hotch said that he wanted to assign a doctor to the team, and everyone thought you were quite suitable."

Jessie blinked and said nothing...

"However, Hotch said that we have to solve a few more cases and make some results before reporting to the bureau, so that the approval speed will be faster... Moreover, Gideon said that you can also enlighten the team members in advance to prevent everyone from being psychologically affected. and hurt..." Elle remembered Jessie's uneasy reaction every time PTSD was mentioned, and she was a little puzzled, "You are obviously studying PTSD cases, why do you still keep this issue secret?"

"If you quit this profession because of PTSD, it would be a very sad thing." Jessie carefully organized the wording, "We have been punishing evil and promoting good, and we don't want to see the end where justice is subject to evil and shadows. "

"What about you?" Elle looked at Jessie. "You always look at me with a weird, I mean, eyes that neither of us can see."

Jessie gathered herself together and met Elle's eyes, "I was just thinking, Elle, can I change the doomed ending with my own ability..." Looking at Elle's puzzled eyes, she smiled and said, "In the future you I will understand."

"When you want to talk, I'll be there anytime."

The worry in Jessie's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by eager determination.

"It's a wonderful night..." Elle felt a little joy in her heart.

Counting the days, Reid's birthday was approaching, and what to give became another problem. Jessie thought for a long time, and bought a 36-piece Kongming lock and a pair of nine chains. "Hope Reid doesn't find them too simple..." Jessie murmured, staring at the wrapped presents.

When Reid received the gift from Jessie, he was exhaustingly blowing on the trick candle Morgan specially ordered for him, rubbing his sore cheeks, and he took the package.

"Wow... what is this?" Morgan glanced inside curiously.

"A Rubik's Cube? Then what is this?" JJ looked at Kong Mingsuo, "This Rubik's Cube looks so strange..."

"In China, they are called Kong Mingsuo and Nine Links. The degree of difficulty is no less than Rubik's Cube. This is the first time I have seen such a complicated Kong Mingsuo. Well, it is very challenging." The first time I received a gift from the East, Reid Very happy.

"Here's another postcard, Reid." Elle nodded her head, "But it's written in four lines in Chinese, um, I don't know..."

Gideon and Hotch came over, looking at the words on the postcard.

"Reward your confidant with brocade books in your life

The sun, the moon, the setting, the beginning

Pleasure is rare and love is never ancient

Leyi never takes a burden hand in hand"

"I know..." Gideon looked at it. "The first four words... happy birthday."

Everyone: "..."

"I thought it was looking sideways." Hotch looked at the flowing lower case letters, "The writing is not bad."

"Theoretically speaking, it should be viewed horizontally. What Jessie should write is a kind of 'Tibetan acronym' from China, and write what you want to say at the first character of each line." Gideon turned his head to look at Reid, "You can Consider learning Chinese from her, as well as Chinese traditional culture."

"That's exactly what I mean. I'm currently studying Kong Mingsuo. I also want to discuss oriental literature with her, as well as the myths about the ancient kingdom of Loulan..."

"Spencer." JJ handed the cut cake to Reid, "The first piece is for the birthday boy."

Reid nodded at JJ, then turned to Gideon and said, "Did you know she was the first person in the whole world to call me Spencer?"

After speaking, he left with a silly smile on his face...

Gideon suddenly remembered something, looked at Elle who was walking towards him, "Let's learn Chinese with Jessie with Reid... there will always be a time when it will be useful."

"Okay!" Elle, who couldn't find a reason to pester the little doctor, found that her joy was too obvious, and stuck out her tongue, "I mean, I must study hard..."

Gideon took Elle's emotions into his eyes and smiled without saying a word.
