This is going to be a two-shot, but chapter two is 100% going to be M rated! Enjoy =) as always let me know what you think!

Locked in.

Guns drawn they entered the building. The team had split up inside the maze of the UnSub's rundown factory. His layer so to speak. Morgan and Reid had gone through the back; Rossi and JJ had headed to the second floor and Hotch and Prentiss had taken the basement. What they didn't know was exactly how much of a maze this basement was.

Every time they thought they had cleared it, a new door had appeared. Before they know it they had no clue how to get out and there radio's had lost signal. Great!

They entered one room, looking for a way out, and then bang, it slammed shut and wouldn't open. They raised and pointed there guns at the slammed door, when they realised it wasn't going to open Hotch gave Emily a look.

"What? I didn't get us here" she lifted her finger to him "You were the one that wanted us to clear the basement" She firmly pointed out. He sighed dejectedly and placed his hands on his hips.

"Were going to have to wait it out. That door is solid."

"I just hope the others don't get as lost as easily as you did" Emily sighed, attempting to yank at the door one last time.

"I did? I think you're just as lost as I am" he remarked defensively

Emily went to protest, but she knew he was right. This place was like a labyrinth. "You're right sorry…" she looked around the room "There must be something here to pry this thing open" she started rummaging through the junk in the room, Hotch joined her, but with a little less enthusiasm. They found nothing, but Emily kept trying.

"Prentiss, there's nothing here, it won't take them long to find us, come and sit down" he suggested rubbing his eyes with his hand.

"I won't give up, there must be a way out of here…" she was defiantly nothing less than a completely determined woman.

"Hate my company that much huh?" he smirked

"No…no not at all, it's just…"

"I know Emily. I was joking" he looked at her expression. She was panicked. Why was she panicked?

Emily slumped on the other side of the room, hoping wasn't noticing the distance she was putting between them. A few minutes past in silence.

"We just going to sit here in silence then huh?" he remarked a little dejected. He thought maybe this was the perfect opportunity for them to talk. However Hotch had noticed the distance between them and how uncomfortable she was looking. Maybe he was wrong about how she felt?

"Okay…what do you suggest we do then?" she uttered

"At the very least make some idle conversations…pass the time" he wasn't keen on her tone. She was on edge and he wasn't sure why. Was it because she felt the same as him, but was scared of it not being mutual? Or was it because she didn't like the idea of being alone with him? He knew it was the first, but the doubt still niggled him.

"Talk? Okay what do you want to talk about?"

"Err…" he paused he wanted to say "Maybe we should discuss this…us" and he did without thinking. Shit you were meant to think it not say it! Change the subject…quick

"Really?" she was stunned, was Aaron Hotchner about to talk about his feelings? "Us? Is there anything to discuss?"

He smiled, she looked like a deer in the headlights, but she hid it well, to the untrained eye. "You know there is" he lifted himself up and sat next to her on the table she had strategically placed herself.

"There isn't if you don't want too…how about we talk about something else? How was Jacks first week at big school?" she smiled turning to face him. He looked at her carefully. Looking for a sign. Even though it was clear to see, he wanted to go along with her and talk about anything but 'this', but he knew it needed to be done. He was ready for it now.

"We need to talk about Emily. We can't avoid it forever…" he snapped, he didn't mean too and by her expression, he had blown it.

"Were not avoiding anything. We're friends and colleagues. There is no 'us' to discuss!"

She stood up away from him, but he stood up right next to her "I disagree…" he was trying to defuse the situation. He really wanted to talk. But she wasn't going to make it easy "What, you're going to talk about how you feel? Really? That would be a first!" she turned to try the door again, venting her frustration and fear onto it "Why the hell won't you open! Stupid door!" she kept yanking at the handle and Hotch had, had enough, she was right he wasn't much good about telling people how he felt, but he could show her.

He pulled her by the arm to face him, and with no hesitation pressed his lips firmly against hers. She tried to resist but he wasn't going to let her. He pulled back and looked her in the eye. "I love you…that's how I feel" he waited for her reaction. But she was stunned; she really wasn't sure what to say. After what felt like an eternity to Hotch she finally reciprocated, gently brushing her lips across his "That's a start, I suppose" he chuckled.

"Yeah, a pretty good one too" she replied as she deepened the kiss, running her hand through his hair. "I love you too by the way" she breathed into his mouth. He laughed lightly, and then he let his tongue explore her mouth, both battling for dominance. Finally she let him take control. It didn't take long for things to get out of hand. His hands exploring her body. He needed her right now….but with that thought they heard their names being called from the other side of the door. They quickly separated, just in time too. The door flung open with Morgan on the other side.

"You two okay? Man this place is crazy; we've been looking for you for the last hour"

"Were…err…fine" Emily smiled brushing past him to get out. She didn't want him to see how flustered she was.

"You sure?" Morgan asked with concern and a little confusion, he was certain the two looked disappointed they had been found.

"She's sure. Was he here?"

"Err… Yeah Rossi and the PD took him back to the station house" he wasn' going to push his luck and ask if they were okay again. But he knew something was going on.

"Let's get down there then" Hotch stepped passed him "Which way?" Emily shouted back to them.

"Follow me" Morgan smiled, they headed out, he other officers close behind them.

As they got into the car Hotch pulled Emily to one side, out of ear shot and view of Morgan. "We'll talk about things after this case…I meant what I said in there, I do love you"

"Okay. I'm sorry I freaked out back there. I just…" she drifted off

Hotch nodded "I know…but I'm going to show you exactly how I feel when we get back home" he grinned

"Really? That sound interesting" she smiled seductively "Better get this case wrapped up then hadn't we?"

"You two coming?" Morgan called back to them. They both nodded and got into the car.

Something was defiantly going on and Morgan wanted to know what.
