I've Dated Worse

Disclaimer: So I guess we gotta go with this whole thing again, CBS owns Criminal Minds. Not me. :(

Summary: Hotch remembers Emily telling him in '52 Pick Up' that she's dated worse than Viper. Wanting to pursue a romantic relationship with Emily, so he decides to investigate her past dating record.

A/N: Makes mention of men on other tv shows outside of CM's world. May seem a little OOC, but that's what fanfics are for.

Thanks for continuing to read this, remember to leave a review.

Hotch was half tempted to throw the list away, until he talked to Sam. There was at least one or two decent men on Emily's list.

Deciding to make a few more calls he picked up the phone and dialed the Federal Agent, Tony DiNozzo.

"DiNozzo" Tony answered.

"Agent DiNozzo?" Hotch said "This is Aaron Hotchner, FBI."

"What can I do for you sir?" Tony asked.

"I'd like to know about your relationship with an agent on my BAU team" Hotch told him, "Emily Prentiss?"

Tony chuckled, "Ah, Emily..."

"Agent DiNozzo?" Hotch said using his authoritative tone on the man.

"We briefly dated in late 2006 until I had to break it off due to an undercover assignment" Tony answered, his mind briefly returning to the past, his time undercover.

"Well was it before the break off a successful and happy relationship?" Hotch asked.

"It was a nice one but we hadn't really got to know each other that well, since she was still new to town" Tony said "But I really liked spending time with her, and maybe you could give her my number..."

Hotch heard Tony said "Thank you boss. Gotta go, duty calls."

Hotch was hanged up on and sighed as he rubbed his temples with his hands.

Picking up the phone Hotch decided to focus on one of the actors that he sorta recognized.

"Go for Drama!" Johnny 'Drama' Chase said.

"John Chase?" Hotch asked.

"Who wants to know?" Drama said.

"Aaron Hotchner, FBI" Hotch said, he swore he could hear whisperings of hide it.

"What do you want?" Drama asked.

"I wanted to know about your relationship with Emily Prentiss" Hotch asked feeling he was talking in circles.

"Oh Em" Drama chuckled "She's a real classy lady. I met her when I did my stint on Melrose Place."

"Melrose Place?" Hotch repeated briefly remembering Haley watching it.

"I was a regular back in the 90s. Emily came to the set when one of the extras got all fatal attraction on one of the leads" Drama told him, "We briefly hooked up but then she got transferred to I think it was St. Louis."

"Thank you for your time, Mr. Chase" Hotch said relieved to end the call.

Hotch decide to do a few more calls, he could feel a headache coming on.

"Bluth residents" a male childlike voice answered, "Buster speaking."

"Can I speak to George Oscar Bluth?" Hotch asked, his eyes frowning at the nickname, 'Gob? Like job?'

"Gob! Telephone." Buster said.

"Gob Bluth, magician speaking" Gob said ecstatically.

"This is Agent Hotchner, FBI" Hotch said.

"I swear she said she was 18" Gob said panicking.

"What?" Hotch said.

"I mean what do you want?" Gob said "Maybe I should get my brother Michael for you."

Hotch could hear the speaker button being pushed.

"Gob?" Hotch heard a man say "Why am I being forced to answer questions for you?"

"Gob Bluth?" Hotch asked again "I just want to know about your relationship with my agent, Emily Prentiss."

"I didn't slip her anything!" Gob said "I swear it fell in."

"Gob why don't you let the man finish his sentence before you end up in prison with Dad?" Michael told him.

"How long did you date Emily Prentiss and why did it end?" Hotch asked.

"Oh? Her?" Michael answered "Gob dated her for about two weeks before she ran away from this family." Michael added "Real shame too. A pretty girl like that."

"Thank you, Mr. Bluth" Hotch said "At least one of you is sane."

Hotch ended the call with the Bluths feeling a worse headache pounding through his skull.

Hotch decided on one more phone call feeling like he aged twenty years by these phone calls.

"Hey Dummy" Dennis Duffy said "I knew you'd be back."

"Dennis Duffy?" Hotch asked.

"Your not Liz" Dennis said "Who are you?"

"Aaron Hotchner, FBI" Hotch said.

"She called the feds on me?" Dennis said "I told her that Catch a Predator thing was a set up!"

"You were on To Catch a Predator?" Hotch asked disgusted.

"Framed" Dennis said "What do you want?"

"Emily Prentiss" Hotch said "Your relationship with her."

"Her?" Dennis Duffy asked laughing "We totally hooked up, of course she dumped me when she knew I wanted Liz back."

"You were seeing them both at the same time?" Hotch asked.

"No, I was dating Emily until she dumped me when she found out I wanted Dummy back" Dennis said. "I was totally cool with the idea of all three of us together, but they shot that idea down."

Hotch sighed, "How long ago was this?"

"Maybe I think few years ago" Dennis said "Haven't seen much of Emily. Where is she any ways maybe I'll go see how she's doing?"

"I don't think Agent Prentiss would appreciate that" Hotch said using his scary tone.

"She'll be back" Dennis said "They always come back."

Hotch slammed the phone down on Dennis Duffy, looking down at the last three names he ripped the paper in two.

"No need to know about Joey Tribbiani, Chandler Bing or Dave Malucci" Hotch said to himself.

Hotch called Emily up to his office and threw his head down on the desk in defeat. She really did date men worse then Viper.
