"Fear cannot take what you do not give it." Christopher Coan
"Hey, hey hey!" Kevin cried out, "Don't shoot it's only me."
"Kevin?" Hotch called out, noticing Garcia's boyfriend approach them.
"You've been chasing after this rabbit all night?" JJ asked holding it close to her chest while tenderly petting it.
"No, I only noticed that Lucky was missing about ten minutes ago" Kevin answered.
"Lucky?" Emily asked staring at Kevin in confusion "This is your rabbit?"
"No, well yes" Kevin said "She's a surprise for Garcia."
Hotch picked up the rabbit, giving the white animal a good look before handing it over to the male technical analyst.
"Well she will be surprised seeing that Lucky is a boy" Hotch said smirking at Kevin's surprise.
"A boy?" Kevin asked looking down at the rabbit.
"You know that rabbit has been causing everyone to think I was seeing things" Emily said.
"So you weren't chasing after the rabbit at all?" Hotch asked remembering what Kevin said.
"No" Kevin said "I've been trying to reboot my computer ever since the blackout shut the electricity off."
"So, someone's still out there" JJ said looking at Emily.
"Do you know who else is here?" Emily asked Kevin.
"Just your team and me" Kevin answered, his eyes landing on the gun in Emily's hand "Where'd you get the flare gun from?"
"Anderson's desk drawer was opened" Emily said, the four heard a sound coming at them from behind.
Emily held the flare gun up, and at that moment her flashlight died.
"Damn it!" Emily whispered.
They hear the person trip and groan in pain, and Hotch stepped forward next to Emily.
"Identify yourself" Hotch commanded.
"Ugh" The person said in a huffed scoff and walked over.
"I repeat identify yourself" Hotch said but was ignored.
The person walked down the hall and JJ flashlight flicked on the upcoming form.
"What the hell?" The person murmured.
Hotch nodded for Emily to fire the flare but is bumped by Kevin when the rabbit jumps out of his hands and hops down the hall.
Since Emily was bumped when she fired the flare it go off and they hear a woman scream as she fell down.
"Damn it, that rabbit is really scared of whoever it is." Kevin said racing down the hall and getting the rabbit.
Emily recognized that scream "Oh my god!"
Hotch, Emily and JJ raced over to the woman she shot "Chief Strauss!"
"Who shot me?" Strauss said glaring at the three people and the returned Kevin.
"We didn't realize you were still here." Hotch said "Kevin help me."
Kevin handed JJ the rabbit and helped Hotch get Strauss off the floor.
"Where were you shot?" Hotch asked checking her over for the flare wound.
"My foot." Strauss said.
"What were you doing here so late, ma'am?" Emily said hiding the flare gun in the back of her pants.
"I was doing my job..." Strauss said and instantly Hotch and Emily knew that was a lie.
They hear footsteps running up "I couldn't find it, Erin."
Everyone turns in shock to see Anderson call Strauss by her first name.
"Uh, I um... mean Chief Strauss" Anderson said avoiding everyone stare.
"Anderson?" Hotch said.
"Uh, yes sir?" Anderson said.
"You keep quiet about us accidentally shooting Strauss with a flare gun, we'll keep quiet about this..." Hotch said hiding his amusement.
"I don't know what you're talking about Aaron." Strauss said.
"With all due respect, ma'am." Emily said "I don't think Anderson wears that shade of lipstick and..."
"You've got a giant hickey on your neck." JJ said not hiding her smugness.
Anderson and Strauss look at each other and said "Agreed."
"You two were chasing after the rabbit too?" Kevin asked holding the frightened rabbit close to him.
"Yes." Strauss said "Keep it out of the BAU."
Hotch walks behind Emily and grabs the flare gun from the back of her pants thrilled with the contact.
"And Anderson? No more flare guns in your desk drawers." Hotch said handing the flare gun back to Anderson.
They watched Anderson help Strauss down the hall to her office.
"Not the first time I've warned him about it." Hotch said walking the two back to the conference room with Kevin and his rabbit behind them.
"Oh?" Emily asked.
"He shot a hole in the conference room his first week at the BAU." Hotch said.
As they entered the conference room to the still sleeping team.
The electricity came back on but still had to camp out until the lockdown was over.
Emily and Hotch saw Kevin walk over to the sleeping Garcia and placed the rabbit in a opened box on the table.
Emily sat down on the couch next to Hotch and he pulled her over next to him wrapping his arm around her.
"Uh, Hotch?" Emily whispered seeing JJ fall asleep on the other couch next to Dave.
"Shh" Hotch whispered to her in Emily's ear "It's ok."
Hotch laid her head on his chest, "Just sleep."
Hearing the brunette sigh as she nuzzled her head on his chest, he pressed a kiss to her forehead determined to make sure she knew how he felt about her.
Before Hotch fell asleep he thought how bizarre it was that Emily chased a white rabbit through the BAU like Alice In Wonderland.
Chamfort said, "The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
