This is my first Criminal Minds fanfiction, my favourite character is Hotch.
He's always so stoic and stern which got me thinking if he was put in a situation that knocked all of his go to expressions away, how would he re-act?
The story takes place almost a year after "100". It may not follow the show's time line completely and I may have taken liberties with FBI protocol here and there for poetic license.

Inscrutable Loyalty
The woman smiled as he entered her home.
They always smiled at him; he had that type of face, almond eyes, easy grin. He gave her a smile in return as they moved into the kitchen.
"It's been giving me trouble for a while now, I don't know what the problem is!"
"Don't you worry, that's what I'm here for." he smiled.
He could smell her strawberry shampoo as she stood next to him; she wore too much makeup, but her hair…
Short and blonde and oh so shimmering in its loveliness…
He set his tool box down and as he rummaged through it, her attention turned away for a moment.
A moment was all he needed.
The smile slipped from his face as he turned towards her; the large hunting knife in his hand gleaming in the overhead light, the ivory handle smooth under his touch.
"Ah, I think I see the problem." he whispered.
She turned back to him with a smile, which slowly faded as she saw the knife in his hand; her eyes widening…
"W-what..." she stuttered.
As she took a step back, his eyes darkened and he swiftly moved forward.
Blood caked the walls before her screams hit the air.
