The whole room was silent, nobody said anything. They all had to process what they had just heard. The team didn't now what to think. Emily just hoped that Rossi would understand now. JJ thought so too, but she also wished that all of this didn't just happen, because now she had to tell the rest of the team. And Rossi was trying desperately to find another way, but he knew Emily and JJ where both right. He thought about it once again and then said: ,I'm sorry!" He hugged her and then continued: ,You were right! I was -am just so scared that I can't protect you!" JJ hugged him back. ,I know! And you have nothing to be sorry about!... Listen! If it really was him,which I'm still a bit curious about, you don't have to let me listen to his voice again! You don't have to let me anywhere near him, but I want to work the case. I want to show him that he lost! Again!" They let go of each other and for a moment just looked at each other. ,Thank you! For forgiving me! But I think it is pretty clear that it is him. Look at the facts! Six shots, five hits, concealed eyes, blond and blue eyes." JJ looked at the ground, he was right, so she nodded slightly. She didn't wan it to be him.

When it went silent again, it was Hotchs turn to break it: ,Now... that everything is okay between you two,... I think you owe us an explanation!" He didn't want to crash the moment, but they still had a case to solve. Both of them looked at him, then at each other and then David said: ,I think you should take a seat, this could take a while!" Everyone did as they were told and then looked at the two agents expectantly. Rossi thought that JJ would like to start, but when he looked at her, he knew she was struggling to find the right words to begin, so he took over. ,In my third year at the BAU we got a case. They found ten bodies, all killed with five shots." He wanted to go on when Reid interrupted him: ,Why did they first call you, when they had ten bodies allready?" ,Reid I think you should let them speak till the end!" Prentiss answered him. ,Sorry, you're right." He said and loked down at his feed. ,It took them so long, to see that it was a serial killer, cause the shots were all the time on different places. Some of the wounds were just grazes. It was like somebody shot them blindfolded." He added, well aware that JJ looked down at his words. ,What told them, that it was a seriel killer, was the fact that there was allways another bullet. It took us almost four weeks to catch the murderer. His name was Thomas Merrick!" They all noticed how he spat his name, when he told them. ,We got a court order for his house, but when we wanted to open a door, but he totally freaked out. He told us to not, under no circumstances, open the door. I mean we didn't really listen to him and were about to open the door, when somebody called us from another room, to look at something. So we first went there and when we came in, we knew immediatly why he didn't want us to open the door. What we saw was... crazy! It was almost like in Garcias office, just that her decoration were weapons in this case. Everywhere were items to hurt somebody. There were notes with numbers, words and times on some and on others were notes about the improvements on each numbers. But the worst thing were the computers, that showed images of injuries on a little girl, that showed live video of this little girl blindfolded and handcuffed, sitting at the edge of her bed. Patiently waiting and listening to the sounds that were played from the boxes. We immediatly ran back to the room and this time really opened the door. And in that moment we first almost got deaf by the music. The girl not even flinched, when we came in. I ran to her kneeled down in front of her and then did one of the stupidest thing I could have done in the moment. I took her blindfold of." He stopped taking a deep breath, remembering the scared eyes of the girl. When he looked up he could see the confused faces of the three men, sitting in front of him. And even though they were told not to, Morgan asked the question, everyone wanted to: ,Why was that a mistake?" Emily gave him a glare, but JJ shook it off. ,It's fine! ...It's because, until that point of my life, I never not wore the blindfold. And when they then turned the sounds off... It just freaked me out."
