Painful feelings
2. So the drama begins
When they entered the house Hotch prepared himself for seeing blood wherever he turned. Memories came rushing back to him – memories of how he had cleaned the house after Elle had been shot, memories of the blood on the wall…
They turned on the lights and saw in the same moment the signs of a struggle – and blood. The only thought, which was running through Hotch's mind wasnot again, please god, not again…
But aloud he said, "Get the CSI here…We need to know if it is her blood!" Then he turned around to take a look through the rest of the house.
Back at the office :
"Okay so what do we have so far?" Hotch asked while he looked into the faces of his colleagues where he found nothing but fear and worry. He tried to fake a reassuring expression on his own face, but knew he was failing miserably.
Morgan came from Garcia's office looking through a report in his hands. "Garcia checked Elle's phone records…Nothing special, she ordered some takeout from an Asian restaurant – Wait a sec…"
"You found something?" Reid asked.
"Well, there are quite a few calls from Hotch…" Morgan looked through the pages while the others looked questioningly towards Hotch.
"Yeah, I called her, because I wanted to know how she is…" Hotch explained, knowing full well that Morgan would notice how many times he had called her.
"But a total of fourteen times as far as I can see – without having read all the pages?!" All the agents looked at their supervisor, totally confused by what they had just heard.
"What? I was worried – I mean, none of you saw the expression on her face when she left…She didn't answer anyway." Hotch was not in the mood to think about his reasons for calling Elle so many times, nor to be questioned by his colleagues about his motives for doing so, not to mention that he was certainly notin the mood to think too deeply about his feelings for his former subordinate.
Before the others had time for any further questions concerning what they just heard from Morgan and their boss a cellphone started ringing.
When Hotch answered it his facial expression changed to a totally annoyed one and he interrupted the other person, "Listen Haley, could we discuss this some other time…" he listened for a while and told his wife then, "You know, I don't have time right now for this…Fine." He hung up and then turned his attention to his team members once again- "Have we anything else, yet – except the phone records?"
JJ, who had been on the phone herself broke the silence : "That was the lab. The blood which was found in Elle's living-room – it was hers…" she trailed off.
