As Rossi walked into the conference room just a few moments after he looked around to make sure that everyone was handling this. Morgan looked nervous but overall determined to lead, Prentiss was to his right hand side confident and ready to support Morgan, JJ was at the screen with the current story ready to go, Garcia was on Morgan's left and had several files in front of her, and then there was a Reid.

To the others it wouldn't have appeared as anything, either because they didn't have as many years experience or because they were stressed, but he could see the nervousness. Reid's hands were folded instead of lying freely as usually and he was slightly holding himself away from the others. He wasn't sure if he was simply upset that Hotch had left without telling him goodbye or if he was trying to hide something. In the couple of years that he had known Reid certain things were hard not to notice. He knew that Reid had a hard time getting over Gideon leaving and was afraid that Hotch leaving would cause the same problems. From observing he knew that while Reid didn't see Hotch as a surrogate dad he did view him as either a brother or an uncle. No one had ever really spoken about what happened to Reid after Gideon left but he knew that it had been emotional for him.

Giving Reid one last worried look he focused on what JJ was saying.


Meanwhile Aaron was sitting on the front porch swinging with Jack curled up beside him. He'd finally gotten Jack to fall asleep around thirty minutes ago and he was just enjoying the peace and quiet. He knew that technically most people would be scared Foyet would find them, but he was being protected by some of the best people in the business.

When they'd left the hospital Sam had driven them to the airport were they were taken by airport security to the back. From there he went on one plane, Jack and Haley went on a second, and Haley's mom and sister had went on a third. Everyone agreed it was for the best not to tell Haley's dad where they were going since he was hardly every around. Jack had been put into the homeschool system, though he didn't show up in any database, and he was able to spend a lot of time with him. The door creaked and Haley crept out onto the porch making sure not to wake Jack. She sat there for a moment just staring at them with tears in her eyes and a content look on her face.

"You're so good with him. I don't tell you that enough, but you're an amazing dad, Aaron." Haley smiled softly and Aaron blinked at her in shock.

"Haley, I...you're the amazing one. You've been there since day one and..." Aaron rebutted and Haley stood placing her hand over his mouth.

"I think you and I need to have a talk. Why don't we go put our little guy down for a nap and I can have Jessica watch him." Haley suggested and Aaron nodded standing and lifting Jack up against his chest.
