(Dave's point of view)

I was almost relieved when we caught a case in Dallas. The case involved a highly intelligent murder. He gives clues about his crimes and the bodies through you tube videos. There would be a slip of paper sent to the FBI with the name of each video.

Garcia ended up joining us. She was working hard to try and track the unsub's computer activity. He seemed to be using different computers each time. Garcia seemed to be able to track them all over Dallas.

As we received the next clue Morgan said something that seemed to crack the case open. He said the clues reminded him of the Riddler. Reid and Garcia started finding other references from the other Batman movies. The case was broke. We knew he was an obsessive Batman fan.

Garcia figured out the computers were all from Comics book and movie stores. With in hours we had a name. We found the unsub just as he was about to kill again. We took him down quickly.

When we arrived home everyone started on their paper work. Aaron caught me as I was going to my office. He asked if I could come to his office. I quickly stopped by my office. Aaron was doing his paper work. He stopped and looked up at me.

"Sit down Dave." Aaron said.

"Is this about the case?" I asked confused the ending has gone well.

"No it's about Strauss. I have some information." Aaron answered.

"Well what's going on with her?" I asked impatiently.

"It's her daughter actually." Aaron answered.

"Which daughter Amber or Melissa?" I asked.

"Melissa she's in some kind of trouble. Strauss has even taken some person leave time." Aaron explained.

"What kind of trouble is Melissa in?" I asked concerned.

"I'm not sure. I just approached Garcia. She is looking into it. This all needs to stay quiet. We could all be in trouble for interfering in her personal life." Aaron said.

"I agree we should keep it quiet." I said.

"Garcia is waiting for you. I would assume she has some information by now." Aaron replied.

I quickly thanked him. I knew he was taking a risk. I hurried to the kitten's lair. I knocked and waited for her to answer. She said for me to enter if I dared. I chuckled and went in.

"Hello my Italian Stallion you're dating the boss lady." Penelope teased.

"I was dating her." I said sadly.

"Well I have some good news and well bad news." She said.

"I guess give me the good news first." I said.

"Actually the bad news is part of the good news." She said confusing me.

"Just tell me." I said anxiously.

"The daughter isn't in any kind of criminal trouble. Her grades her good, she has a 3.9 G.P.A. The whole thing I found was a recent medical excuse. There are no previous medical issues." Penelope explained quickly.

"Did you find anything else?" I asked.

"Strauss' ex is behind on child support and is not finically helping the two older kids in college. The two older kids are doing great in college as well." Penelope said.

"Thanks Kitten." I said.

"Rossi I hope it works out. You deserve happiness and well sometimes she does also." Penelope said as I left.

I wasn't sure what my next move should be. All I knew was this wasn't over. I took my paper work downstairs. I noticed the team was all starring. Almost everyone else had left for the night.

"Why is everyone starring?" I asked annoyed.

"You and the dragon lady I am shocked." Derek said.

"She's not that bad." I said.

"She's a total bitch." JJ mumbled.

"Jennifer." I scolded her as everyone laughed.

"Rossi is probably attracted to her personality. Men of Italian backgrounds are raised by strong women. They then seek that in a mate." Reid babbled.

"Listen I am going to go. Tell Hotch I'll have my paperwork on his desk tomorrow. Everyone stop talking about my personal life. And I will tell her what you all said if you say anything else negative." I ranted as I walked away.

"Go get her Tiger." Emily yelled.

"Thanks." I mumbled.

I spent another night thinking of Erin. I needed to confront her. She can't truly accept me to just give up without a fight. I figure the direct approach would be best.

After a shower I dropped off my paperwork. Then I headed to Erin's house. I rang the door bell and waited. Erin opened the door. Then she went to close the door on me. I held my hand out.

"I've given you enough damn time Bella." I shouted at her.

"David please calm down." She said.

"I won't." I said.

"I don't have time for this." Erin said.

"Mom let him in." Melissa said.

"Hello Melissa." I said.

"Hi Agent Rossi." She said smiling.

"Okay fine you win Dave." Erin said letting me in.
