Emily plopped down onto her couch after a long day and was trying to relax when there was heavy banging on her front door. She looked at it quizzically then reluctantly got up and opened it. Hotch was on the other side looking extremely pissed off. He didn't give her a chance to say anything before he barged into her condo and turned around quickly to look at her.
"Did you forget everything you've ever learned Prentiss? Do you realize how stupid your actions were? Do you realize how stupid you were?" He yelled at her.
Emily slammed the door shut and took a step closer to Hotch. "Excuse me? What are you talking about?"
He took a step closer to her. "You walked over to an edge after someone went over to check. What the hell were you checking for? You know better to go over to an edge anywhere and check, especially with your gun put away. Are you out of your mind? You could have been shot! You could have died! You were lucky Mick was on the roof and saw the guy. Does your life mean that little to you?" He screamed.
Emily held up her hands in defense. "First of all who the hell are you to come here and just start yelling at me? Don't you think it would have been better to ask me why I did it? Don't you think you would have gotten somewhere doing it that way? And second I want you to leave."
"What?" Hotch asked dumbfounded.
"I. Want. You. To. Leave. Now." When Hotch continued to stand there looking like his puppy just got kicked, she continued. "Did I come to your apartment and scream at you when you walked into that house without a vest on? Did I yell at you when that happened? No I didn't. Do you want to know why? It's because I trust you. What you did was completely stupid, and reckless, but I said nothing! And you want to come here and question my judgment." She pushed him back forcibly with her hands. "Fuck you Hotch! Maybe you should be asking me if I'm alright instead of saying how stupid my actions were. Oh, I'm sorry we can't forget that you said how stupid I was! So you need to leave. Now!"
Hotch didn't make a move to leave, so Emily wrapped her hand around his arm and pulled him towards the door. "I don't think you heard me. Get OUT!"
"Prentiss, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I just got upset. You could have died!" He said quickly as she started shoving him out of her condo.
"We could die every single time we go out there Hotch! That's part of the job! I could walk outside and get hit by a car Hotch, does that mean you're going to put a bodyguard around to trail me? That's bullshit Hotch! You have no excuse for coming here and acting like a jackass!" She gave him another firm shove backwards and added a "fuck you," as she slammed the door shut in Hotch's face. He stood on the other side of the door completely befuddled.
"What did I just do?" he asked himself as he stared at her door before walking away with his tail in between his legs.
