Summary: It can take a tragedy to cause two certain agents to admit their true feelings for each other.
Author's Note: This is my first fanfic. Wasn't sure if I should do another chapter or two but I'll see where this goes.

Chapter 1- Flashing
Emily walked into the nearly empty bullpen and dropped her bags by her desk. She headed to the cafeteria for her daily cup of morning coffee. When she heard someone behind her, she jumped
"You almost gave me a heart attack, Hotch" Emily placed her hand over her rapidly beating heart.
"Sorry". He replied. "I didn't mean to frighten you Prentiss. Are you okay?"
"I'll live." She assured the man that she had secretly loved.
Both dark haired agents turned around when they heard the rest of the team entering the BAU.
"You two get an early start?" Morgan inquired peering at the two.
"Hey guys we got a case. Conference room in five" JJ announced.
"And the day begins." Emily remarked, rolling her eyes.
*~OoO~*
An hour later, the team stepped out of the conference room and got ready to head off to the airport. This next case was in Columbus, Ohio with an unsub who was drugging his victims and throwing them off of high places, such as buildings.
"Wheel's up in twenty", Hotch announced as the team walked out of the glass doors of the FBI building.
*~OoO~*
After going over the profile on the jet, Hotch assigned their partners.
"Rossi, Reid, you two are going to interview the witnesses, JJ, Morgan, you are going to examine the bodies and Prentiss, you and I going to check out the crime scene. By the way, we are going to be staying at a hotel for the duration of our time spent here. Is everybody ready?"
*~OoO~*
As soon as the jet landed, the team filed out and everyone headed to their respective areas.
Hotch and Emily opened the doors of the black FBI issued SUV as they climbed inside and prepared to head to their destination. On the way there, they talked about past cases and their perspectives on the current one. They tried to keep the conversation going back and forth between them as to not make it awkward. Both agents were in love with each other. They had admitted it to themselves a while ago, but the trouble now was that they weren't sure if the other felt the same way.
*~OoO~*
"So this is the first building that the unsub threw the first victim, Allison DeNoto off of?" Hotch asked.
"Yes", the sheriff replied. "Allison DeNoto age 28 with dark hair and eyes was found dead in the grassy area under the building. I'll be right back. I am going to get the crime scene photos."
The sheriff then headed to his parked police car down the road. What he didn't know was that the unsub was hiding right near the police car. As the sheriff opened the car door to grab the photos, the unsub snuck up behind him and hit him over the head and drugged him.
After locking the cop in his own cop car, the unsub snuck up to where he saw two dark haired agents chatting quietly. Suddenly, the unsub came up unnoticed behind Emily and pushed her so hard that she flew through the air and landed, dangling over the edge of the roof and holding on for dear life.
