[Zhongyingmei] The last string

It was snowing again at Quantico, this time harder than the last time.It is no longer a few lonely snowflakes falling pitifully, but groups of goose feathers and heavy snow.

But overnight, the snow on the ground can already submerge people's ankles.Not only the streets, but also the branches on the roofs, and all places under the sky are covered with a thick layer of snow. Some poor little trees are not strong enough, and the branches are crushed as if they will break in a second. .

The window was covered with a layer of translucent white frost, and it was impossible to see what was going on outside from the inside.

Wrapped in thick fleece pajamas - she's afraid to wear nightgowns now unless she's really going to freeze to death - Viola yawns loudly.

She hasn't woken up much yet, and when the winter comes, people's inertia will come up.

However, serial killers will not stop just because it snows in winter.

They just came back from a business trip a few days ago, and this time they stayed out of town for more than 30 days, not just in one place, but in three places.As soon as this case was completed, the next case was seamlessly connected.

Apparently, serial killers don't give themselves time off.

Yes, that's right, Christmas is coming, and they are about to usher in the annual long holiday.

Viola sincerely hoped that this year's Christmas would be a good one for them. Since she entered BAU, something happened every Christmas.

It may be that Viola's prayers have worked, or it may be that people across the country are eagerly looking forward to the holiday. BAU did not receive any sudden serial murders until Christmas Eve.

Today is Christmas Eve, even the FBI agents who are busy throughout the year chose to leave work on time today.

Everyone in the BAU team worked hard to clear up all the work that needs to be solved on the desk a few days ago, and there is no need to work overtime today.

Both Man and Reid have bought plane tickets home and are already on their way to the airport. Emily is not planning to spend Christmas with her family and decides to take a solo trip. Rossi will be working on his new book this Christmas break.

**Mostly, she will have a baby at the beginning of next year. Now everyone avoids making her do heavy and tiring work when she is in the field, and rest when she can. This Christmas is also a good recuperation period.

Garcia is the only one at home, but it is said that her boyfriend Kevin plans to spend Christmas Eve with her.

Viola is also planning to go home this year, and Kary has been nagging her about coming back for Christmas since a month ago.

It's true that she hasn't had a good Christmas in Las Vegas for a long time.

Last year, I went home for Christmas Eve, and was called over by the police the next day. In the past two years, I didn’t even return home.

Hope nothing happens this year.

Viola tidied up the messy items on the table and walked into Hotch's office with her bag in hand. Before she left Quantico and flew to Las Vegas, she had to say goodbye to her dear boyfriend, didn't she?

"Have you left yet? Will the plane be too late?" Hotch asked when he saw Viola slowly turning in.

He knew that Viola was going home for Christmas.

"It's okay, I still have some time," although she said so, but in fact she really didn't have much time and had to rush to the airport.

Although her flight time is not too late, it is estimated that it will be after nine o'clock in the evening when she arrives in Las Vegas, but she believes that Kary and the others will wait for her for dinner.

"What are you doing today? Going to see Jack?"

Viola said it more implicitly, without directly explaining it.She hadn't asked Hotch about his plans for Christmas because she didn't want to embarrass him.

After the two became boyfriend and girlfriend, Hotch told Haley about it directly.

Viola didn't know what she was feeling, but the lady did start talking less with Hotch.If Hotch is free, she will send Jack over for an afternoon or overnight on weekends, and she rarely stays.

Viola has met Jack a few times. He is a very cute and well-behaved child. His personality is quite different from Hotch's, but his smile is just as cute as Hotch's.

I think that the vigorous and resolute director of BAU has a cute smile, and I guess there is only one of them.

"No," Hotch shook his head and replied softly, "Jack was taken out on a trip by Haley, with her boyfriend."

The female detective blinked, and the sour feeling that had been suppressing in her heart disappeared after hearing this sentence, but she was not very happy.

"Then what do you do? Alone?" She frowned slightly.

"It's nothing," Hotch said with a soft smile, "don't worry, you can go back."

As he spoke, he glanced at his watch and reminded, "Are you on a plane at seven o'clock? If you don't leave, it will be too late."

Viola also checked the time after being reminded by him, and it was really too late.

She glanced outside quickly, no one was paying attention to Hotch's office.She stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on Hotch's lips.

"I'm leaving, I'll be back soon." Although she was reluctant, she had to leave now.

"Okay." Hotch replied softly.

Losing weight in his arms, he watched Viola leave the office in a hurry.

*****

Hotch actually decided to spend Christmas alone a long time ago, of course, if there is a case, it's another matter.

He is a profiler, a very good one, and it is natural to see why Viola was hesitant to speak some time ago.She is always considerate of him and doesn't want him to make things difficult for him.

And Hotch didn't want to make her unhappy.

Even if Haley didn't take Jack on a trip this time, he didn't plan to visit them for Christmas at all.

Jack is his son, and he really loves his son, but after all, life with them is a thing of the past.

He knows very well what he needs to cherish now.

In fact, it's not that he has no family, but the relationship between him and his younger brother has become very shallow in recent years, and there is no need to spend Christmas together forcefully.

He wasn't in that mood himself, and neither was his brother Sean.

Hotch drove back to his apartment, and when he opened the door the room was dead silent.

Looking at the room submerged in darkness, he suddenly felt a little lonely.

There are lights and festoons everywhere outside, and every house on the street is decorated with Christmas decorations. Occasionally, tall Christmas trees are placed on the squares passing by, decorated with countless colored lights and gift boxes. The whole city is quiet in the festive atmosphere. In joy.

In contrast, his apartment was much deserted. BAU is busy with work, and he doesn't make any preparations for Christmas at all.There is no slight difference in the room from usual, and there is no feeling of festive season at all.

He took off his coat, put it on the sofa with his briefcase, raised his hand, rubbed the back of his neck, and stretched his body.

Hotch walked over to the refrigerator, ready to dig into it for some ingredients to make himself a Christmas dinner.

He looked at the half-filled refrigerator, and just as he was preparing the eggs and milk, he saw the note on the milk carton.

' Expires December 12, be careful not to drink by mistake. '

The one who wrote the note was naturally Viola. She was afraid that Hotch would not pay attention when she got home, so she wrote notes on the food in the refrigerator that was about to expire.

Hotch pursed his lips and smiled, and put the half-filled carton of milk on the table.

If it weren't for Viola, he probably wouldn't even have these ingredients in his refrigerator, and it's very likely that he would have to eat instant food for Christmas.

He put the ingredients to be used on the table, and stopped again.

Normally, Viola would definitely be by his side at this time.The empty kitchen now made him feel a little out of place.

He felt that he might need to admit that he was starting to miss his girlfriend.

'Ding dong——! 'The doorbell rang suddenly, and Hotch looked back subconsciously.

He was a little strange, who came back to look for him at this time?

He walked over unhurriedly, looked into the cat's eyes, and suddenly froze in place.

The door was opened, and the smiling person standing in front of the door should have been on the plane long ago, but now he appeared in front of him.

"You..." Hotch didn't know what to say for a while, the corners of his mouth gradually curled up, "Shouldn't you be on the plane?"

"Let you stay here alone?" Viola took a step closer, put her hands around his neck, looked up at him, with a smile in her light blue eyes, "I can't do it."

Hotch put his arms around her waist as usual, and asked softly: "But Kary is looking forward to your return, you shouldn't..." Stay for me.

"Yeah," Viola blinked, "so I'm not going to stay."

Hotch was confused when he heard her words, and cast a puzzled look.

"Aaron, do you want to go back with me?" Viola asked, "Kary will welcome you very much."

"By the way, I've bought my plane ticket, although it might be a little late to get there."

He looked at her in surprise, never expecting her to propose so suddenly.

"Is that okay?" he said softly.

Viola raised her eyebrows, and she said, "You don't want to?"

Hotch felt a strong desire to kiss the man in his arms, and the next second he put the thought into action.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips. At first, it was just a light peck, gentle and gentle, and gradually increased a little bit of force, turning into a sweet and long deep kiss.

This seems to be a tempting piece of honey, which cannot be parted after one tastes it, but those who taste it obviously like it.

The kiss lasted for a long time, so long that Viola couldn't react when they parted, panting lightly and buried her head in Hotch's chest.

"Of course I would."

Is this answering her previous question? Viola's mind is turning a little slowly now.

Hotch finally let go of Viola, he said, "I'm going to clean up, you wait for a while."

Viola was led into the room by him, and she was going to sit on the sofa slowly.

Hotch went back to the kitchen and stuffed the ingredients back in, and smiled helplessly when he saw the box of milk with the note on it.

It seems that this milk really can only be put out of date.
