Hotch walked down the halls of the police station, looking for Emily. He was beginning to get worried. Hotch ran outside and swore at the cold. The weather had taken a turn for the worse. It was bitterly cold and the wind blew fiercely. He looked around.
"Emily!" Nothing answered except the wind. He ran out into the parking lot and glanced around. "Emily!" Suddenly he saw her. Hotch breathed a sigh of relief. She was leaning against the wall of the building, shivering, her head bent towards her chest. He ran up to her. "Emily?" He said quietly. She tilted her head up towards him. Her face was streaked with tears. Emily bent her head again and her shoulders began shaking. Hotch closed the distance between them and brought her close to his chest. Sobs shook her body. He was going to kill Kinder. He had absolutely no right to say what he had said. He and Emily had gone through a lot to be together between Strauss and their families - especially her mother's politics. Hotch bent his head and pressed his lips to Emily's hair
"Are you cold?" he asked. Emily was only wearing a thin shirt and suit trousers, neither of which were great protection against the cold. Emily nodded. He quickly took his jacket off and wrapped it around her. "I heard what happened." Emily sniffed . Aaron gently hugged her and began to lead her to the car.
"He was out of line." Hotch said angrily. Emily closed her eyes and leaned into Hotch. Hotch opened the car door and Emily climbed in, tears still falling down her face. Hotch hopped in himself and settled back into the seat.
"You Ok?" He asked. Emily shook her head. She was so angry and upset that she was shaking. Hotch took her hand and squeezed it.
"Kinder was out of line Emily." Hotch said. "He had no right to say it that to you. I love you and I don't regret anything. Kinder has no idea how we fought for what we have." He rested his hand on her stomach. Emily laid her free hand over his.
"I...I just cant believe he would say that!" She spat out.
"Do you want me to say something to him?" Hotch asked her. Emily chewed her lip. She usually hated people fighting her battles for her but right how she was just to tired to fight. She nodded and smiled.
"Thanks." She said quietly. Hotch smiled and gave her a chaste kiss.
"Now." He said. "How bout getting something to eat?" Suddenly Emily's stomach rumbled. They both laughed.
"I guess thats a yes." Hotch chuckled as he pulled out of the PD parking lot. "Ok." Hotch said. "What do you want to eat?" Emily shrugged.
"I don't know. What do you feel like?" She asked.
"How bout we stop at a decent diner and we see what they have?" Hotch suggested. Emily smiled and nodded.
"I remember one of the other detectives saying there was a good one near the police station. It was called...oh there it is. Murphy's diner!" Hotch swung into the diner. he and Emily sat down in a booth by the window. Emily slid in beside Hotch and sank into his side. He swung an arm around her. He picked up a menu and held it in front of them.
"So what do you want?" Hotch asked. He already had his eye set on a chicken club followed by strawberry ice cream. Emily scanned the menu. Something she really craved now that she was pregnant were tomatoes and chocolate ice cream. She glanced over the menu once more and grinned with delight. Emily looked up at Hotch.
"Don't tell me." He said, chuckling. "You are going to have..." He consulted the menu. "The tomato soup and the chocolate ice cream." She laughed back at him and snatched the menu.
"Yes I am." She said. "At what are you going to have. Something with strawberries by any chance?" Emily grinned knowingly. He pursed his lips. He was saved by the waitress coming over. Emily giggled as he ordered his strawberry ice cream but he avoided any other teasing for his strawberry obsession. They relaxed and talk as they ate their food which was delicious. It felt good being back together.

Meanwhile back at PD Reid, Morgan, JJ, Rossi and Garcia were sitting the the room given to the BAU and angrily discussing Kinder. Eventually Rossi put up his hand.
"Listen guys. This is not getting us anywhere and you know Emily and Hotch. They would want us to continue trying to get these kids back. Emily wouldn't want you worrying about her. So lets get back to work ok?" They all agreed and Reid turned back to his oversized map pinned to one of the evidence boards.
"Ok Max lived here." He circled Max's house. "And the twins lived...here." JJ pointed to the map.
"Max went to school here and the twins went to a private school close by." Reid circled the two areas. Reid stepped back and stared at the map.
"Guys...if your eight years old what are you doing around 9 on a week day?" Morgan frowned and flipped his case file shut.
"Waiting for the buss?" He suggested. Reid nodded.
"What if thats the connection between the kids. They were all taken while waiting for the bus." Rossi nodded.
"Could be possible. Kids were probably taken by somebody they knew. But the profile also said that the unsub most likely had a nine to five job. How could you fit in snatching a kid on your way to work?"
"Unless they had recently lost there job." Morgan said slowly. He walked up the board and circled an area, enclosing the kids schools and house's, then turned to Garcia.
"We need to find out what businesses are in the area." Garcia typed furiously.
"Ok its mostly industrial, is suppose this bastard could be holding them in an abandoned building...wait. Guys there's a children's clinic dealing with adoption." Ried's head snapped around.
"See if either kids were adopted through the agency." Garcia looked up from her computer and smiled.
"Margaret Wilson worked there."
"Address?" Rossi asked. Garcia reeled it off. Rossi and Morgan stood up.
"Reid, JJ stay here, call Emily and Hotch, fill them in." JJ nodded and whipped out her phone. Morgan and Rossi ran out of the building and jumped into the car.
Emily sighed as her phone blared. She snapped it open.
"Hello." Her eyebrows shot up. "Woah JJ slow down."
"No time." JJ quickly explained the whole situation. Emily stood up and Hotch followed throwing some money on the table. They jumped into the car.
"Ok JJ we'll meet them at her house." Hotch raised an eyebrow.
"What going on?"
"Short version. Social worker most likely the unsub." Hotch nodded, not missing a beat.
"Ok so where are we going?"
"To her house. We're meeting up with Rossi and Reid." The BAU SUV swung in a parking space in front of the house beside Morgan. Morgan and Rossi were waiting for them outside, vest all ready on.
"Hey guys. Okay everybody lets go." Hotch said. They cautiously approached the door.
"FBI!" Morgan yelled. No answer. Hotch nodded to Morgan who broke down the door. They rushed in, clearing the house as they went. Hotch noticed a door by the stairs. He flung it opened. There was another set of stirs leading into a basement.
"Guys!" They cautiously crept down the stairs before being running into a door at the end of them. They stared at the heavily padlock door and the room behind it in shock. Kids toys littered the floor and a large bed resided in the corner. But most disconcerting was the stinking buckets in the opposite corner and the shackles attached the to the bottom of the bed. Emily held one then flung it back on the bed in disgust.
"Where is she?" She muttered. Suddenly there was a huge crashed from upstairs. They looked at each other and sprinted upstairs. A large car had burst from the garage and was now racing down the street.
"Thats her car!" Rossi yelled. Morgan and Emily jumped into the nearest car while Rossi and Hotch took the other one. Their sirens blaring they began the chase. Margerates SUV swung on the main road. Morgan pressed his foot down.
"We have to catch her!" Emily yelled
"I'm trying!" Morgan yelled back. Suddenly Emily gasped.
"I saw one of the kids! They're in the back seat!" She swore suddenly as the SUV began to slid on the slippy roads. It rammed into the barrier and with sparks flying slid to a halt. Emily's heart leaped into her mouth. Morgan jumped out with Emily right behind him. Emily glanced behind her as she heard Hotch's SUV screeched to halt. Morgan sprinted towards the SUV.
"FBI! Come out of the car slowly!" Nothing happened. He cautiously approached the van and swung the driver side door open. Maregate hung over the wheel, blood dripping from a gash on her head. His fingers scrambled for a pulse but there was no beat beneath his fingers. He stepped back out of the car and shook his head. Emily ran towards the back door of the and gently pulled the door open. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the three children cowering in the back seat.
"Hey kids." She said. Emily breathed a sigh of relief. Thank god it was over.
The ride back to the PD was silent. Two ambulances had arrived to take Maregate to the morgue and the children to the hospital to get checked out. The team had all gone back in one vehicle another detective driving it back to the station. They pulled up outside their hotel. Hotch squeezed Emily's hand. She nodded back, both understanding what the other wanted. Emily followed JJ and Garcia up to their shared room. The girls always shared a room on away cases. Emily grabbed her bag.
"You sleeping with Hotch tonight." JJ asked gently. It wasn't a question. Emily nodded.
"Yeah." Emily said. Garcia smiled and hug emily.
"You Ok girl?" Emily nodded into her shoulder and pulled away.
"See you tomorrow guys." She said and quickly left. She sniffed and rubbed her eyes as she made her way down the corridor to Hotch's bedroom. Hotch opened the door almost before she finished knocking.
"Hey." Emily said. Hotch smiled.
"Hey." He took Emily's general demeanor. She looked exhausted. "Come on." He lead her inside and sat her down on the bed, talking her bag from her. He pulled out a old t-shirt of his and some shorts.
"Lift your arms." He whispered. Emily complied and Hotch quickly unbuttoned her shirt and slipped the oversized t-shirt over her head. He slid her trousers over her legs and put on the shorts. Emily crawled into bed. Hotch lay down beside her, pulling her close to him. Emily nestled her head under Hotch chin and sighed. Hotch breathe the smell of her vanilla shampoo. He loved it.
"Go to sleep sweetie." He whispered.
Emily slept nearly the whole way back to Quantico, her hand intertwined with Hotch's. Emily had been plagued by nightmares during the night. Aaron had been up with her most of the night. As soon as the jet had taken off Emily had collapsed onto the couch and fallen asleep. Rossi smiled sympathetically, indicating towards Emily.
"Long night?" He asked. Hotch nodded, wearily.
"Long case." He replied. Rossi set down his book.
"She'll be Ok. Don't worry." Hotch smiled.
"I know." Silence fell. Rossi glanced down at the sheet Hotch was writing on. Hotch cough his gaze.
"It's a letter to Kinder's supervisor. I wanted to hit him but we ran out of time." Rossi chuckled.
"I would have helped you." Morgan and Reid glanced up from their card game.
"Yeah I would have held down that bastard. He was rude to Garcia and JJ as well." Morgan said, angrily. "He only cares about climbing to the top." Hotch smiled slyly
"Well." He picked up the letter to Kinder's supervisor. "With this letter he'll be stuck were he is for a while."
