They arrive in late evening. They gathered their own things and got out. From the distance, they could saw quite a few people were waiting for them. Hotch took the lead in front of them, closed the gap and shook the man's hand.
"We're the BAU team. And you are?"
"My name is Furakawa Kenji. I'm the lead police officer in this case. Nice to meet you," he shook their hands with a smile plastered on his face. He introduced his other team members who accompanied him to fetch them in the airport. They exchanged some greetings and took turn to introduce themselves.
"Come. We'll escort you to the hotel," Furakawa lead the way.
"Wait a minute. Why don't we go straight to the police station?," Reid frowned.
"Oh, it's getting late. Surely you need some rest after your long journey," Furakawa told them.
"Okay for me. My body had been stiff from a long hours in the jet. I could use some rest on a real bed," Morgan stretched his body a bit. The others just nodded approvingly.
Furakawa brought them to the famous hotel in Japan. He turned to speak to Hotch.
"Do you share your room or should I get a room for a people?"
Hotch paused a bit before he decided. "We'll just share the room. Prentiss, JJ and Garcia will share a room. Morgan with Reid. Rossi, you with me," Rossi rolled his eyes with what Hotch decided for them. It's only natural for him to share a room with Hotch when Hotch saw that he's behaving out of character.
Furakawa nodded and went back to the counter. Five minutes later, he came back with three sets of keys.
"This are the keys. We'll leave you now. Tomorrow there's a car that will be waiting for you outside at 8. See you tomorrow".
Hotch shook the man's hand while told him thank you. Furakawa nodded back and smiled before he got out. Hotch gave the others the keys and they dispersed, finding their own room. Rossi followed Hotch to their room. Rossi made his way towards the bathroom to clean himself. He got out and saw that Hotch had been waiting for him. Hotch eyeing Rossi suspiciously but he didn't say anything.
"What?," Rossi asked Hotch. Before Hotch had a time to respond, Rossi cut him. "I'm fine, really. Don't worry about me, okay?"
"I know. But you will tell me if you have a problem, right?," Rossi shrugged his shoulder and laid on the bed. Hotch entered the bathroom to clean himself. Rossi tried to sleep but his eyes failed him. He got up and looked around in the room, trying to find something to distract his mind. When he saw that nothing interesting for him, he decided to take a walk outside. He wrote a note to Hotch and leave it on the table.
He wandered outside the hotel. He chuckled lightly when he remembered that he always did this when he was younger. Except that he would be accompanied with his trusted partner. He tried to go back to his old base but the base had been destroyed during the aliens and monsters invasion. Even the power of his partner couldn't save his comrade. His captain and vice captain had been killed during that invasion.
He came back to the hotel and saw that Hotch had been waiting for him. Without saying anything he plopped down on the bed and closed his eyes. That's the one thing he loved about Hotch. He never pushed him to open up to him.
