Discs.: You know how it goes...

A/N:I´m a big Elle/Hotch fan so I write about them...I hope you like this!

Dangerous situations

1. Bombs

It had been a tough case. Aaron Hotchner was totally aware of this fact.

Flashback, that afternoon :

They had been lucky that Gideon had warned them. He was breathless. After a moment he turned his head to his left and

looked concerned at the newest member of his team, Elle Greenaway. Then he asked : "Hey, are you okay?" She was only

able to nod. After he had contacted Jason to tell him they were okay they left the building and went to the office of the police.

End flashback

He was glade nothing had happened to anyone on his team. But how had he been able to be so stupid – so blind – that he

didn´t figured out what was really going on in Walkers head?! Well even Gideon had found it out only a moment before the

guy had activated his bomb. All those things were still the thoughts most present in his mind. He could kick his ass for his

fault that nearly killed six guys working for the government, including him and Elle! He should have known better!

Later that evening, at the office of the BAU :

He had only finished his report when he had an idea. He signed the last sheet, stood up from his desk and left his office. He

looked around seeing that the only other agent of his team, who hadn´t left the office to get home, was Elle. He considered if

his idea was still a good one given the new circumstances. He wondered if it would be good to leave the office alone with Elle.

What would all the other agents think, when they see them leaving together? But on the other hand he wasn´t in the mood to

go straight home, yet. And drinking alone wasn´t a good idea as well, by the way why should he worry about this so much? It

would be only a few drinks and a bit talking about the case, right?! So he made a decision and, with his all so well known

nearly unreadable facial expression he went down the few stairs to the bullpen and approached Elle, who was sitting quietly

at her desk. For a short moment he only watched her. He wondered if she was going to notice him standing at her desk. But

he also asked himself once more if it had been the right decision – now he still had time to change his mind, but then he

started to feel ridiculous. So he said : "Hey, you are still doing paperwork?" He could tell by the expression on her face when

she turned toward him, that she actually hadn´t been aware of his presence near her desk. "Sorry, I hadn´t wanted to scare

you." "No, it´s okay. I was just lost in thought…" she trailed off. "Would you like to grab a drink?" Elle thought for a

moment about the offer then she indicated her desk with all the unfinished paperwork on top of it and said : "I have still a lot

of paperwork to do. I mean it´s nice of you to ask, but I guess I have to finish all of this first…" "Listen Elle, no-one is

expecting that you do all of this today, okay? At least I don´t expect you to sit here ´til the early morning hours to finish all

this paperwork! You did a great job today, you deserve to let this wait for a while…And by the way : In this kind of way I do

not need to think all the time about the pile of paperwork, which is going to wait for me tomorrow morning ´til I entering this

building after a hopefully quiet night!" "Okay" She smiled and shut her computer down. Then she stood up and took her purse and jacket.

When they left the office she asked : "So, where are we heading?" "Well, there is this bar, the team is visiting most of the

times on birthdays and to celebrate a positive ending of a case, stuff like this. You will like it, it´s not too noisy and the drinks

are great…"

When they entered the bar Hotch led her to a table in a corner and took a seat. Elle did the same and after she had taken a seat

she asked : "Okay, I´m curious, what part of today´s case had been positive?" He stared for a moment into nowhere, fixating

a point somewhere above her left shoulder. "Well, we had been able to rescue that man with the bomb around his neck, we

had been able to keep Bale there where he should be, no-one was killed anymore today and Walker will not be able to do

something like this again…"
