"What the hell were you thinking Prentiss?" Hotch practically screamed as she closed the door to his office. "You could have been killed."

"But I wasn't." She replied in an even tone. She'd had years of dealing with angry Hotch and was no longer effected by his intense glares and his harsh tone.

"But you could've been." Emily saw his eyes soften ever so slightly. "Why don't you understand that?"

"I do understand, Hotch." She moved closer to his desk. "I do. But if I hadn't have done what I did, Carly Matters wouldn't be alive right now. I saved her life."

"And nearly lost your own in the process." His rage was building again.

"So what? I was just supposed to let her die. Do nothing?"

"You should have waited for the team and we would have tracked them down together."

"You're forgetting one small detail Hotch." Emily was feeling her anger build. "That approach requires time and we didn't have that luxury. He knew we were on to him, if I hadn't gone in when I did, he would have killed her."

Hotch let out a sigh. "You don't know that."

"Bullshit." That response shocked him, his eyes widened and he almost forgot what they were arguing about. Nobody spoke to him like that, especially not his subordinates. "We know this type of Unsub, you know as well as I do that's exactly what he would have done."

"Okay lets say for arguments sake you're right, that still doesn't mean what you did wasn't reckless."

"I know it was reckless Hotch, I'm not arguing with you on that, but that doesn't mean it wasn't the right thing to do."

"Damn it Prentiss!" Hotch shot up from his desk, causing Emily to jump at the sudden movement. "It was not the right thing to do."

"Carly Matters is alive."

"What about you?" He stayed standing, glaring down at her, but his tone softened.

Emily exaggerated her movements as she patted her body with her hands. "Well would you look at that. I'm alive too."

"But…"

"No Hotch. That's the end of it." She moved towards his door to leave, but he strode forward and gripped her arm tightly.

"I'm not finished."

"Well I am." She informed him, matter of factly. "You may always get the last word in with the rest of the team, but not with me. I can be just as stubborn as you."

"That's stating the obvious." His lips twitched up. Hotch could never stay angry at Emily, he was angry at what she did, but he knew deep down he would have done exactly the same thing in her position. "What. You . Did. Was. Wrong." He wasn't sure anymore if he was trying to convince her or himself.

"So what are you going to do Hotch, spank me?"

"If that's what it's going to take for you to realise the seriousness of this, then yes." He pulled her closer to him and reached behind her, bringing his hand down with a hard slap onto her ass.

Emily's jaw dropped and she was finally rendered speechless. Of all the ways she'd expected Hotch to react to her comment, his response was… nowhere on the list.

He smirked at her facial expression, before walking over to his door with her in tow. "You were wrong."

All Emily could do was nod, as he opened the door for her.

"And Prentiss." He gripped her shoulder and pressed his lips against her ear to whisper. "I always get to say the last word."
