The Nashville bombing went off without a hitch. Man and Elle personally flew to New York to interrogate the two prisoners of the plane bomb, while the rest stayed there to continue the investigation.

After several days of hard work, they finally dug up the location of the "Son of the Black Rose" sect and all the information about its core figures.

Unfortunately, during the arrest process, the leader, the bastard who claimed to be Satan's spokesperson in the world, detonated the bomb in the warehouse at the last moment, trying to die with them.

Although the members of the bau and the small partners of the police station evacuated in time and did not cause too many casualties, several leaders of the "Son of the Black Rose" and the archives and backups of the sect were forced to truly realize their beliefs— ——A trip to worship Satan with no return.

It was a bit late when h got home.The team had already returned to Quantico at three o'clock in the afternoon, but as the team leader, he still had a lot of reports to write.By the time he was the last person to leave the office again, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Maybe he should work a few extra hours to get things sorted.But hotch also knows that it has been a long time since he returned home before his wife and children were asleep.Although it is still not in time for dinner, at least I can hold little Jack in my arms and teach him to say "Daddy", and say "good night" to Haley.

Today, the lights in the living room are still on, reflecting the unexpected softness of the night. H closed the car door and walked slowly towards the door with his luggage on his back. His steps were as calm as his expression, but he was about to touch the door lock. At that time, the slightly sluggish movements and slightly pursed lips still betrayed his true mood.

Suddenly, he heard the girl's silver bell-like laughter, followed by Haley's laughter, which came from across the door, still so loud and cheerful. H froze for a moment, and immediately opened the door.Then, he saw a scene that he didn't expect——

"Aryawilliams?" His brows were frowned habitually, and his expression suddenly became serious.If you don't know him well, you'll probably think he's angry or dissatisfied.

Counting it, they haven't seen each other for almost half a year. The impression of this person is quite clear. One is because the case of the Manhattan vigilante has not really been solved. As an insider who has been in contact with the prisoner many times, Alia is an important The second is because of the ingenious atmosphere between Aliya and Reid at that time, which made Man always use this incident as a meme to tease Reid.

Of course, he didn't forget that he had asked Haley to pick up Alia at the airport.That's just because he thought it would be better, just like he would send flowers to Garcia in the name of .

The two people on the other side of the sofa were joking, but they froze for a moment when they heard the voice, and Qiqi turned to look at him.Aliya smiled obediently, and immediately turned around like a good baby, watching TV seriously.Haley greeted him with a smile and gave him a kiss.

The two, who haven't talked properly for a while, expressed their intimacy to each other.

"I invited Alia to come over. You must have never imagined that her new house is actually near our house. We can walk around often." Haley, whether it is her expression, body, or language, shows her ease and joy.

Hearing this, H turned his head slightly and glanced at Alia. He saw that the other party seemed to be absorbed in the soap opera, but his ears were pushed back hard, and his toes were silently facing them. He secretly thought it was funny .

Acting aggressive in front of a profiler is never a good option.

"Is Jack asleep?" Hotch glanced around the hall, but didn't find his son.

Haley nodded, keeping his hands around his neck, and replied: "He played with Alia for a while after dinner, and finally couldn't help but want to sleep."

After being called out again and again, Aliya realized that it was time to say goodbye.It would be too ignorant if she insisted on not leaving.

Of course, she didn't forget her most important thing——

"I'm moving into a new house and I want to have a small party. Are you free to attend?"

H looked at her with the same expression, but the words he said had a deep meaning: "Us?"

"Of course, there are other people from bau. Just this weekend?" Seeing that she was being pointed out, Alia said straightforwardly.

Bau just solved a case, so he should be able to have a little vacation.The person she wanted to see the most should have a chance to meet.

Come on, she winked cheekily at Haley.These days, they get along pretty well, and I hope the great Mrs. Hotch can help me say a few words.

However, Haley just looked at her with a smile, not showing any intention of helping, it was so disrespectful.Fortunately, the hotch on the side nodded.

Aliya finally breathed a sigh of relief and jumped back home full of joy.

She first made a video call with Miss Sarah to exchange feelings.In fact, most of the time it was Sarah who kept complaining about life in Livonia, but she listened quietly, waiting for the other party to drink tea and then made a comment or two to show that she was listening carefully.

After more than an hour of this, Sarah finally let her go.

"How do you plan on your dissertation?" Sarah, who was about to apply a sleeping mask to herself, asked casually after cleaning and moisturizing.

"I've contacted a few people, and I've already made an appointment for an interview, and I plan to visit them one by one." Alia replied absently, holding a pen and sketching the shopping list she had summed up. Before the weekend comes, she needs to get all of them Arranged.

"Alia, I don't care about shitty criminal psychology, but if you want to do a good job in your thesis, you need a lot of data. You shouldn't just stay in..."

"I know!" As soon as the words came out, Aliya realized that her tone was serious.

But when she wanted to explain, Sarah snorted and cut off the video.

Alas, it broke up so badly again.

Arya rubbed her temples, feeling a little headache.

She knew that Sarah was doing it for her own good, but many of the ideas in the gorgeous report to Professor Phelan were difficult to implement.

Her major stems from the tradition of European education, and what she provides is a comprehensive education that does not seek "professionalism".Therefore, some universities call it general studies, which means general education or general education.This used to be a very good choice for her who had not yet determined her career goals.But now, it has also become a problem.

The amount of data itself is a big problem. She has contacted more than a dozen people before, but it is obvious that not everyone wants to recall those bad memories.In the end, among the few people who were reluctantly accepted by her, they might not be able to interview what she wanted.

"Kyra Clarke," Arya remembered the name.This is the person she is going to visit in a few days.

Keira's mother was one of the victims of a serial murder. She was only 7 years old at the time, and her memory was not clear.So 30 years later, now a mother, she is willing to open her mouth to describe her life.

With all of this arranged, Aliya pushed the shopping list to the top and got ready for bed.Although the dissertation did not go well at the beginning, she couldn't help but be attracted by the party later.

In the next day, she intensively collected the items needed for the party.This is her first time hosting a party, and a lot of times, she tends to ask Sarah for her opinion.But she offended the young lady badly yesterday, so she could only seek some advice from Haley.

And finally, the weekend arrived with much anticipation.

Alia put on a pale yellow lady's dress, and placed the cakes and biscuits baked early in the morning on the carefully prepared dinner plate.She also prepared pizza, sandwiches and steaks, as well as some desserts and rum.In short, she tried to prepare as much as possible before the agreed time.

The hotch family was the first to arrive, and Haley came to help ahead of schedule as agreed.Aaliyah gave Jack a hug first, and then took Haley to see her little meal.

man and garcia, as well as elle and jj, also came one after another.To Aliya's surprise, she also came.He still had that gentle and wise expression, but even if he watched quietly from the side, his existence could not be ignored.

However, no matter how hard Arya stared at the front door, she never found the person she most wanted to see.

Looking at the wall clock on the wall, she finally convinced herself to give up, but she was still very sad.

"Miss Williams, you don't seem to welcome us." Man raised his glass towards her, and raised the corners of his mouth knowingly, "Come on, let's respect the person who didn't come."

Aliya took a sip of her wine in embarrassment, and whipped the man to death a hundred times in her heart-why do people always hate it so much, alas.

"Reid has something to do, I want to go back to Las Vegas." Elle winked at Garcia, who hesitated to speak, and the latter could only look at Alicia with sympathetic eyes, and then was pulled away by Man.

I haven't seen each other for more than five months... I went to Las Vegas... I was almost there...

Aliya took a deep breath, but still found that she couldn't calm down.As excited as she was getting ready for the party, she's so disappointed now.

In fact, she was also to blame. In order to show sincerity, a normal person should make a phone call to confirm, even if they were not invited in person.And she always thought that everything would be fine if hotch told her - how difficult is it to make a phone call?

"There's still some salad in the kitchen, I'll go get it." Aliya made an excuse to leave in a hurry, she needed a quiet moment.

The most kind-hearted Garcia wanted to chase after her, but her position happened to block her.She hesitated and asked, "Is this... a bit too much?"

"Someone will go." He picked up a biscuit and put it in his mouth, curling the corners of his mouth, "It tastes good."
