Don't own Criminal Minds... I wish I did...
Emily's POV
I listened as Garcia talked about Carolina, Hotch's girlfriend. She had a criminal record, but it didn't mean that she was guilty. But the fact that she was with the guy who was a suspect in this very investigation made her look very guilty.
"I'll be right back." Hotch stood up and quickly left the room.
I followed right behind him. "It might not be her..." I said and sat beside him. "If might just be a bad connection..."
"It can't be her." He told me. "She's a good person, she would never hurt anyone."
"Well, we still need to bring her in, ask her questions about Sterling." I asked him. "She might not have any connection at all."
He nodded and got out his phone, quickly phoning Carolina. "Hey Carolina it's Aaron... Do you mind coming down here?"
I listened carefully, and then thought about the situation. He was now personally involved with investigation. He couldn't interrogate her.
"Okay, bye." He said and put his phone away.
"Just try not to worry." I told him.
"How do I not worry?" He asked me. "She could be a murderer."
I nodded and sighed. "Just... I don't know. Don't think about that now." I told him. At this point I really didn't know what we could say to him.
We walked back into the room and Rossi looked at us. "So is this Carolina...?"
"The same one." Hotch muttered.
"It might not be the same person." I told him again. "Now lets look at the profile." I said and walked over to the board. "Two unsubs, a man and a woman."
"One is dominant and the other one is less so." Reid piped in. "Most likely the man..."
"But Sterling didn't fit that profile when we first interviewed him." Rossi reminded us.
I thought about it and felt a little bit better. There was still a chance that it wasn't them, that they aren't connected to this at all.
"Maybe he isn't the dominant one. I mean, she could be the one who planned it and everything. It is uncommon, but not unheard of..." Reid dragged me back to reality.
Rossi looked at Hotch. "I hate to have to do this to you..."
"I know. You have to learn everything I know about Carolina." He sighed and stood up.
"You know her?" Reid asked curiously. He had never heard about his girlfriend.
"She's my girlfriend." He murmured.
As we walked out of the conference room and went into the hall, Carolina was standing at the door.
"Hey Aaron... What's going on?" She asked as she looked at all of our expressions.
I walked over to her turned her around, putting on handcuffs. "Come with me..."
"Aaron, what's going on." She asked him again.
"Just come with me." I said and then sat her down in the interrogation room.
"I want to talk to Aaron." She told me angrily. She didn't seem confused.
"I'm sorry but you can't." I told her and leaned on the table. "Where is Theodore Sterling?"
