A/N: Hey! I was so excited with this story that I couldn't wait to write the next chapter. Here is the second part of "100". I hope you guys like it. It's pretty angst to Hotchniss but I had to do this to follow the script I have to this fic. I'm sorry for the grammars errors.

Chapter 10

"Hotch? Prentiss said that he is going to your house, where you lived with Haley and Jack." Morgan said through the phone while jumping in the SUV with JJ, Reid and Rossi.

"I know, I figure it out too. I'm on my way already. Just ten minutes away."

"We're going too. We'll take at least fifteen, man. Prentiss is closer. She's going to get there right after you I guess. Wait for her; do not go in without back up Hotch."

"I'm not waiting for anything Morgan. He has my son and Haley. Screw protocol." He answered hanging up the phone.

"Damnit! Don't do anything stupid, man." Morgan said.

"He's desperate. He's not stopping until this mess ends". Rossi said with a sigh. He just hoped that everything ended in the best way.

Hotch parked at the front of his old house and stormed out of the car. He approached the living room's window and saw Haley sitting on the couch with Foyet hovering her, pointing his knife while talking to her. He couldn't see Jack anywhere and his chest tightened. He went towards the door and got in the house.

"Put the knife down Foyet." He said, authoritatively. Foyet startled for a slight second before pulling Haley in front of him and holding the knife on her throat.

"Hello Agent Hotchner. I was waiting for you. How are the scars? Do they hurt? Mine do, sometimes." He said, tightening the grip on Haley's arm.

"Let her go Foyet, it's over and you know it."

"Oh, I know. And what a great scenario, don't you think? I don't know why you left here, it's such a nice house!" He said with a smile. "Oh, I know. You didn't choose, did you? She shoved you out. What a shame Aaron, you're not even capable of keep your family." He said laughing. Hotch tried to get an angle to take the shot but he was keeping Haley too close and he couldn't risk it. "I'm really curious Haley, why did you even married him on the first place? You're such a beautiful woman…" He said, smelling her hair. "Why did you choose someone so… damaged?"

Unbeknown to them, Emily had arrived to the house and was positioned at window at the corner of the room listening the dialogue between them and trying to find a way to drag Foyet down. She saw Foyet holding a knife at Haley's throat and Hotch in front of him, pointing his gun but without a clear shot.

"I mean, look at where you are right now. You married a man who was never home, who didn't take care of you, who wasn't even on the birth of his only son and then let you alone at home every day to raise him. And now, he left you as a single mother and dragged you into his chaos, all because of his big ego".

Hotch narrowed his eyes and tensed his shoulders and jaw, trying to ignore the words. Emily saw a tiny window at the dinner room that was directed straight to Foyet and Haley and went towards there to see if she could get a clear shot.

"What are you talking about?" Haley asked.

"Oh, you didn't know?! All of this is happening because you beloved ex-husband didn't want to make a deal with me, to stop hunting me. I just wanted to live my life like a free man, without going to jail, but he didn't agree."

"Don't listen to him Haley." Hotch said, seeing what he was doing.

"But it's the true, isn't it?" He said looking at Hotch, before continuing to talk to Haley. "He destroyed your life, made you leave your house, your job and now it's almost making you lose your life, all because of his ego. His need to always be the hero. And you know the best part? While you were away, hiding, he was here, fucking his subordinate!"

"Aaron…" Haley said, with tears in her eyes.

"This is not true."

"Oh, please Hotchner, you are living with her. What's her name again? Oh, right. Emily. Emily Prentiss. I have to say, you have a good taste. She's really hot."

"She's just helping me, nothing else. She's anything but my co-worker." Emily felt her heart broke at his sentence but forced herself to stay focused.

"Do you really believe in him Mrs. Hotchner? I mean, it's not like he hasn't lied to you before."

Emily saw right away what he was trying to do. Even knowing that he would get out of there alive he was doing everything he could to destroy Hotch's life, putting Haley against him, making him go against all the protocols. By the way Hotch's grip on his gun hardened she knew it wouldn't take too long for him to snap.

And if that happened nothing good would result because either he was going to miss the shot and hit Haley instead or he would kill Foyet and end his career. With Strauss already on his neck, just waiting for an opportunity to fire him, the fact that he got in to the house, without a vest, without waiting for back up and shoot the unsub while risking the hostage's life would be enough for her to achieve this.

Positioning on the window she had a clear vision to Foyet's right side, getting the right angle to take the shot without risking Haley, who was on his front. She waited for the right moment, and when he started to talk to Hotch again, distracting himself and loosening the grip on Haley a little she took the shot.

"Well Agent Hotchner, it seems that your wife is enjoying to get to know you a little better, who you really are… I wonder if…" A shot was heard, followed by Haley's scream and Foyet fell on the floor, a bullet hole on his temple, on the right side.

"Oh my god!" Haley screamed running to Hotch's arms. He tried to find where the bullet come from.

"It's okay, it's over, he's dead." He soothed her.

"I didn't saw you pull the trigger, I didn't know." She said crying.

"I didn't pull the trigger." He said still trying to find the shooter.

"Then who did?"

"I did." Emily got in to the house by the back's door. She saw Foyet's body on the floor and Haley clutching in Hotch's arms. She got her cellphone and dialed 3, waiting for Morgan answer. "Hey, it's over. He's down. Everyone is okay." She waited for his response and hung up. "They're almost here. Two minutes." She said looking at Hotch.

"Emily…" Hotch said in awe. "I didn't even know you were here".

"I got here right after you. I saw that you didn't have a clear shot so I looked for one."

"Thank you… I don't even know how… Just thank you". He said walking towards her and taking her in his arms. She patted his back and let go of him.

"No need. I had the shot so I took it. Where is Jack?"

"I don't know" He said looking to Haley.

"I told him to hide upstairs. I'm going to find him." She said going upstairs. At the same time the team arrived and stormed through the front door. They all went to the kitchen to go away from the body.

"What happened?" Morgan asked.

"Prentiss shot him. I didn't have the clear shot and she found it." Hotch said right before Haley appeared with Jack in her arms.

"Daddy!" Hotch's face lighted up with his son's voice and he jumped in to get him.

"Hey buddy! I've missed you so much!" he breathed against the boy's hair.

"I missed you too Daddy…"

The team watched at the reunion with tears in their eyes. Finally everything was over and they were back together again. After a while, Jack was asleep in Hotch's arms and they were all at the backyard waiting for the techs to process the scene. JJ spoke:

"I already called Strauss. She didn't seem happy about everything."

"Yeah, and she's going down on Emily with full force." Reid added.

"She better not do anything against her". Hotch said with a sternly voice.

"Could you tell us what made you play the snipper anyway Emily. Not that I'm not happy that this bastard is dead, but you know it's not going to be pretty for you with Strauss." Rossi said.

"I already said, I had the shot, I took it."

"I know, but in these situations we don't take the shot until absolutely necessary. And that's what they're going to say at the bureau".

"Look, I knew that he wouldn't surrender. We all know his profile. And he had a knife on Haley's throat. I took the shot and I would do it again." Emily said in an exasperated tone.

JJ looked at her for a few seconds before say. "It's not only that, isn't it?"

Emily looked at the team and sighed. "I saw what he was doing. He was taunting Hotch, saying this to make Haley doubt him and to make him snap. And I knew he was succeeding. And if Hotch took that shot he could risk hitting Haley. And even if he hit Foyet it would be the end for him. Like you said, Strauss is not happy about this whole situation. If it was Hotch who had took the shot she would finally had the reason she always wanted to end his career. He got in here without back up, emotionally involved and risking the hostage. As I already said, I took the shot and I would do it again. I've always said that I wanted to put a bullet between this son of a bitch's eyes."

Hotch looked at her, impressed of everything she had said.

"Yeah, but she doesn't like you either Emily. Something that I never get it, by the way. After all, it wasn't her who put you on the team?" Morgan asked.

"But I didn't serve to her purposes".

"What do you mean?" Reid asked.

She sighed. "After Gideon left and Hotch was suspended she called me into her office and asked for my help to end Hotch's career. She said that she had putted me on the team for a reason and it was time for me to do it."

"She did what?" Morgan almost shouted. "And what did you do?"

JJ, who was in silence until then, answered. "She quit." Everyone looked at the blonde and then at Emily again. She stayed in silence, looking at her lap. "You quit right after Hotch asked for a transfer. Remember guys, the case in Milwaukee? We left without them and Strauss went with us. Then they showed up together at the station later."

Haley stood stunned listening at the dialogue. She remembered very well this case. It was the case that ended her marriage. She saw Hotch take a deep breath before start talking.

"The moment Emily entered my office and told me she was resigned and I saw the look on Strauss's face I knew that something had happened. So, after I decided to go help you guys I knew that I couldn't do it alone. So I went to Emily's apartment to ask her to come back to the team. And then after the case was solved I took care of everything with Strauss to ensure her permanence on the team."

"Wow… Talk about loyalty." Morgan said. Talk about love. Haley couldn't help but think.

"I hate politics. I couldn't make my way on the team by playing her dirty games. It wasn't fair." Emily said. She was trying very hard to not look to Hotch. The way her emotions were boiling she couldn't risk.

Ten minutes later they heard the SUVs parking on the front of the house. The techs started to work immediately and Strauss went towards them.

"What the hell happened here? Agent Hotchner, you couldn't have entered into a hostage situation without support, even if it was your wife! And Agent Prentiss, you're not a snipper. You could have hit Mrs. Hotchner instead. Have you all forgotten about everything you've learnt and all the protocols?" She said with a harsh tone. "The team was just a few minutes away, you could've had waited. Or even better, you could have asked for a tactical team, skilled to these situations. Both of you are suspended without payment for two weeks. We'll run an investigation to ascertain the facts and then we'll talk again." She turned to Haley. "Mrs. Hotchner, I'm glad that you're safe and back to your own life." Turning to the team, she continued. "As for you, I'll wait for all of you tomorrow at the office to work on the paperwork from this case." She finished before storming off.

Everyone stood in silence for a few seconds, waiting to absorb the outburst from their Section Chief. After a while, Haley broke the silence.

"Well… Now I can understand why you were always so pissed when you came home from a meeting with her…" The whole team cracked smiles at her comment.

By the end of the day the house was cleared by the techs and the team was at the living room.

"Well, I think we should go. We all need to rest after this, especially you three." Rossi said, pointing to Haley, Hotch and Jack.

"Yeah, let's go." The team said goodbye and left the house. Getting into her car Emily felt her heart constrict. Everything was over now and she was going home alone. She took a final look on the window of the house and saw Hotch picking Jack on his arms and going upstairs with Haley to put him on the bed. Yeah, everything is the way it should be. Hotch had his family back again and she knew that this was the type of situation where you revalue everything in your life. She knew that he would do all he could to keep his family together again. And she was back to her place. As anything but a co-worker. Felling the tears starting to pool in her eyes she started the engine and took off to her home. I just hope he's happy…
