Chapter 4
Emily's point of view:
"So, how do you guys know each other?" Derek asked. "Umm… Well, we were best friends growing up." I answered while looking out the window. Derek just nodded his head. It was silent for a few minutes. "So, how are you Emily?" And how's Charlie?" Christopher asked. I rolled my eyes. Of course he had to ask, right now. The team didn't know about Charlie. "We are both good." I answered and continued looking out the window. I was starting to get annoyed. "Well, what's she up to?" Christopher asked. I see Derek look at me weirdly. "Well, maybe you would know if you called more…" I told him. It was silent the rest of the way to the station.
The three of us walked into the police station. It was very awkward. I didn't mean to be a bitch to Christopher… He didn't know. He was just wondering how his daughter was. "Mr. Hayden." Hotch said and than shook his hand. "Please, call me Chris." He told Hotch and the rest of the team. Hotch went around and introduced Christopher to the rest of the team. "And you already met Agent Morgan and Agent Prentiss." "Well apparently, Emily and him already know each other." Derek told the group then smiled at me. I almost rolled my eyes. "Really? How?" Penelope asked. Christopher looked at me and then answered. "We were best friends growing up." "Aww, how cute!" JJ said smiling and then winked at me. I rolled my eyes this time. "I'm gonna go get some coffee." I told them and then turned to leave the room. I heard Christopher say the same thing. "So… What's going Me?" Christopher asked once we were alone. I sighed. "I've only been with the team for a year. They don't know me very well." Christopher looked confused. "No offense Me, but your kinda hard to get to know… I've known you since I was eight and you still surprised me. I would guess the only person who truly knew you was Charlie." "They don't know about Charlie." I told him. Christopher frowned and looked surprised. "Why not." I shrugged and sighed. "I don't know. It was a rough start… And… I don't want them to judge me... Or her!" Christopher rolled his eyes. "Your just to damn stubborn, Me. I've just meet those people and they don't seem like that at all. You read into things way to much. Look at you! You're successful! You went to Yale, you work for the FBI. You raised our beautiful, intelligent and confident daughter, by yourself!" I smiled at him then we continued talking.
JJ point of view:
I looked up to find Emily, Derek and the witness walk into the police station and into the room where we were working in. I looked at Emily, she looked pissed and just distant. "Mr. Hayden." Hotch said than shook his hand. "Please, call me Chris." He said. I looked and kinda checked him out while Hotch went around and introduced the team. He was definitely attractive. Blonde longish hair and bright blue eyes. "And you've already met Agent Morgan and Agent Prentiss." "Well apparently, Emily and him already knew each other." Derek told the team then smiled at Emily. "Really? How?" Penelope asked. Chris looked at Emily than answered Penelope's question. "We were best friends growing up." I smiled. He has to be her ex-boyfriend! They would be such a cute couple! "Aww, how cute!" I said smiling at Emily than winked at her. She rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna go get some coffee." Emily told us than left the room. It was silent for a few moments. "Umm, I'm gonna get some coffee…anyone wants anything?" Chris asked us. We said no, than he turns and follows Emily. "What was that about?" Reid asked. Derek shrugged. "I don't know… When they first saw each other they hugged and kissed." Penelope turns and smiles at me. "Then in the car it was very cold." "I've ice baby." Penelope said. Derek nods. "Pretty much…he asked how she was doing…then he asked about someone named Charlie." Reid frowns. "That's weird." "She just said they were fine… he asked what she was up to." Derek told us. "Emily or this Charlie person?" Rossi asked. "I have no idea… But she did reply that if he called more he would know… It was silent and awkward the rest of the drive." I looked in the kitchen to see if I could see them, I couldn't. I hope everything is okay with Em.
