Lacy here with the next LEC. Time for Supervisory Special Agent David Rossi to take his leave of the BAU. Don't worry though, we will still be seeing him before we reach season three. He's gonna be Jack's godfather so we will see him again. I'd say have fun but...*whines* I don't want Dave to leave! Sadly though, he must in order to go along with the show. Onto the chapter now.
Disclaimer: I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO don't own it.

Aaron looked at his friend and mentor like he'd sprouted another head. "You're what?"
Dave sighed. "I'm leaving the Bureau. It's time for me to move on."
Aaron crossed his arms. "What brought this on Dave?"
"A lot of things Aaron." Dave said. "It's hard to explain."
Aaron nodded. "Alright but you're coming over to tell Emily."
Dave groaned. "That's just not right."
Aaron smirked. "Tough."
~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~
Emily set the table as Aaron finished up dinner. "Why the sudden need to have Dave over? He was just here Monday."
Aaron nodded. "I know but he's got something he needs to tell you."
Emily stopped what she was doing. "What is it?"
"He'll tell you when he gets here." Aaron said. "I told him he'd be the one to tell you."
"Okay," Emily said as she finished setting the table. Then she made her way to Aaron's side. "so, brother of wonderful chef, what's for dinner?"
Aaron laughed. "I'm sure Sean will be happy to know you think he's a wonderful chef. As for dinner, just steak. Nothing over the top."
Emily smirked. "Why aren't you grilling it?"
Aaron looked at his wife as a knock rang through the house. "Please go let Dave in."
Emily giggled as she kissed Aaron before leaving the kitchen. Aaron shook his head with a smile as he finished making dinner while listening to Emily greet Dave and usher the older man into the house.
"He said you have something to tell me." Emily said as she and Dave came into the kitchen. "So, wanna share?"
Dave glared at Aaron. "Did you have to?"
Aaron nodded. "Yeah, I did."
Emily looked between the two. "Someone tell me what's going on."
Dave sighed and faced Emily. "I'm leaving the Bureau."
"You're what?" Emily said.
Dave blinked. "Wow, same response from both of you. Yes Emily, I'm leaving the Bureau."
"Why?" Emily asked.
"It's just time." Dave said. "Don't worry, it's not like you'll never see me again."
"And there goes that dream." Aaron said dramatically.

Dave closed up the last box of his things and looked around what was his office. He'd been in there for years, working on god knows how many cases and while he knew it was right to leave, it still felt strange.
"Changing your mind?" Jason asked from the door way. "Hotch can always stay at his desk."
Dave smiled. "No, this is all his now. He deserves it. I'm outta here as soon as I can get my boxes down to my car."
"And that's where we come in." Aaron said appearing behind Jason with Emily. "If I'm taking over your office, I might as well help you move out of it."
"And I'm here to make sure he actually does." Emily said, pushing Aaron into the office past Jason.
"There's no need to push Emily." Aaron said. "My legs work just fine."
Dave laughed as the two bickered. Even Jason was attempting to cover his amusement.
"Okay you two," Dave said. "let's play nice and get moving."
~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~'~
Placing the last of Dave's things in his car, Aaron and Emily faced the older man.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Emily asked.
Dave shrugged. "I don't know. Just figure it out as I go along probably. I was thinking about writing a book. I know enough about serial killers to write at least five."
Aaron stuck out his hand. "Don't be a stranger Dave."
Dave shook Aaron's hand then hugged Emily before climbing into his car. Aaron and Emily stepped back and waved as Dave drove away.
