Authors note: Thank you to penguinlover250, fallen angel, HPforever and Thunderbrat for your reviews. Now once again I understand that the cliff hanger is bad. *Sees the mob forming* Look I'm updating now. So stop plotting on how to hurt me and read the next chapter. Disclaimer: If I promise no more cliff hangers… can I have the show. You still say no! Not my show.

A shot sounded out. The last thing Emily saw was the smiling maniac as he fell to the ground. She was safe. Her nightmare was dead. Safe from any of his plans. She walked straight over to Hotch. "Are you okay?" He asked her. "Fine" she whispered. Before she knew what she was doing she was kissing her boss. "Thank you." She told him as she stopped. "You're welcome. I promise if ever a clowns comes near you again. I will protect you." He paused for a moment before speaking again. "You know now this is all over… Would you like to go for dinner some time?" He asked her. Oh my god! Was Hotch asking her out? "I'd love to." She told him before the police came in, followed by the team. "What happened?" Rossi asked. "Bobo tried to kill me while Hotch was in the toilet." Emily told them, reminding herself to call him by his surname. "I shot him. It was the only thing I could do." Hotch told the team while the ambulance team loaded Bobo into a body bag.

The team left one by one to go back to the office. Hotch and Prentiss had to stay back as they had to complete their statements. "You know I knew we'd get him" Emily told Aaron. "How?" he asked. "Because if it's one thing I've learnt it's this, you never break a promise Aaron Hotchner." She told him. That made him feel so special. Walking out the door towards the SUV. Aaron couldn't help but feel that maybe, he'd met hope, in the form of Emily Prentiss.

"Emily, Emily! Tell me your okay?" Garcia ran towards her as she entered the bullpen with Hotch. "I'm fine Garcia." She told her. Before she knew it JJ and Garcia were pulling her into Garcia's office. "So… Tell me, Hotch. Did he save you?" JJ asked. Oh no Emily thought, here comes the probing. "Yes, he fired the shot." She told JJ. "And of all the team members you could have enjoyed lunch with you went with him." Garcia told her. "Yes, he was just trying to be nice." She defended her actions. "Don't worry Em. Were teasing. It's nice to see you getting close to a person for once. You would make the cutest couple." JJ told her. Although she didn't want to admit it in front of the girls. Aaron and her would make a cute couple.

"Well Emily, since the case is closed you can go home to your apartment tonight." Hotch told her. "Unless, maybe you want that dinner tonight?" He asked her. "I'd love that" She told him. "Shall we say 8:00 o-clock at the Italian near mine?" She smiled. "That's fine with me." She told him before walking out of the office to get ready for her night out. She had to admit it; her fear of clowns was what brought this around. She would forever be scared of them. But now that didn't matter. Because her knight in shining armour was here to protect her. One Aaron Hotchner. And he seemed up for the role. After all, he never broke a promise.

Finished.
