A/N : Hi! Back with a new story! Everybody is included in this story, Jordan Todd and Ashley Seaver. Hey, this is fiction. :-) Bit OOC. To hell with it! :
Disclaimer : Well, CM is not mine.
The plane ride back to Quantico was spent in silence. Almost everyone was asleep. They spent the entire week in
Sacramento, California and they had no sleep since they had arrived. The only remaining people who were awake
was Hotch and Emily. Hotch was writing and signing paperwork while Emily was doing a report and reading her
weekly readings for her Law class. Emily had occupied a big space because she had stuff every where. Her laptop,
books, readings folders, a pad paper and pens of different colors. The last case had taken it's toll on her. Children
were getting kidnap and beaten in then dumped then on the street. Out of 10, 5 had survived, thanks to the
team, 2 were raped then beaten and the other 3 were forced to sent to room where there were hoses of sulfuric
acid dangling above them burning them completely. Hotch, Reid and JJ were the one's who spent the entire time,
thinking about their children, Henry and Jack. And this week, Emily was a emotional wreck. She questioned her
and Hotch's relationship just before they left Quantico earlier this week.
" Hotch, I- We need to talk." Emily said softly. "Sure. About what Prentiss? " Hotch still used Emily's last name when it
comes to he job." Us. About us, Aaron" Then suddenly Hotch sat up straight and saw the change in his eyes, it became
softer and he did a crossover of a pout, a smile and a straight face. " What about us Emily?" "It's just, I -um, what are
we? Are we together or something?" She blurted out suddenly. Emily saw the shock in his eyes but kept his poker face
on. "What do you mean?" Hotch now couldn't contain his emotions. She could hear the sadness in his voice and he
showed a frown. " I am not just a mistress you can come home to when you had a fight with Beth, Aaron. I am not a
sex toy." Emily said almost close to tears, she had a thing for Aaron and wanted to have a relationship with him. But
there's one thing in the way, He's still dating Beth. " I-I don't know." Hotch said barely a whisper. " Oh. I understand.
See you on the jet Hotch." She mumbled. Heading towards the door, Hotch stopped her. " Emily!" Hotch stood up and
looked Emily straight in the eye. "What?" She shoot back tears streaming down her face. Hotch looked surprise and
can't even formed a sentence that can make her feel better. So Hotch just blurted the sentence out. "We fly in twenty…
I'm sorry." Emily didn't have to hear the sorry part. She cracked at the part where he didn't talk to her. 'We fly in
twenty' she thought 'pathetic' As she passed the team getting ready, she didn't see the look she was given by the
team, especially from Hotch. 'I need to get away. I need a break. Maybe 2 months is enough….'
The ringing of her cellphone took her out of her musing's apparently the team were in a deep slumber that, her
phone didn't wake them up. Hotch looked up from the paperwork he was doing looking for where the ringing was
coming from. When he saw it was from Emily, he continued his work. "Hello? Mom? Is there something wrong? I'm
on a plane back to Quantico. We just had a case. Why? I was planning to go. Sure. I'll come. How about my
clothes and Serg? I'll change on the plane. Ok. I"ll call when I have the go signal. Bye. See you soon." With that
she ended her call and sighed. She quietly went to the cockpit where she will make arrangements. "Ah! Agent
Prentiss! What can I do for you?" Pilot John Meyers said. "Well, it's already arranged, they have the hanger ready,
we just need to land." Emily said receiving a confused look from the pilot. "Ah, and where can that be Agent
Prentiss?" The pilot asked sheepishly "Florida."
