Rossi just entered into his office, Strauss appeared in the door. It was not a surprise for Rossi.

"So, you came back from the hospital, how is he? Maybe I should ask how are they? BAU has two agents down."

"Reid's right leg's knee was broken, he will live with crutch for a while. And Hotch," he stopped for one second," he's out of the surgery, the doctor said, he lost a lot of blood, but the injuries are not life threatening, he will make a full recovery. But he will be still in unconsciousness for a while."

"How is the team reacting?"

"What do you think, one man had a car accident, and the leader was attacked at his own place by the evil."

"That's what I'm worried."

"Of what?"

"I'm worried that the whole team is affected,"

"Of course we are affected."

"And the team is overwhelmed by the frustration, no longer effective."

"Erin, it was less than 24 hours after we came back from the hell pig farm, and followed by the evil who hit at home, what do you expect?"

"I understand your frustration, I really do, but we still have to do our job, that's why I come down. I'm giving you the direct order that you have to lead the team from now as acting chief, you have to gather them together to continue the normal routine job. The team should not be distracted, there will be another unit which will work together with the local police on Foyet's case."

"But that's our case, our own man was attacked, it's Hotch's case, and we have worked on Foyet's case before, and we caught him once."

"Yes, that's true, but now, the whole team has emotionally involved into Foyet's case, it is not appropriate to let you in, worked on Foyet's case. That's all I want to say. Please Dave, gather the team, and start working." Strauss left without waiting for Rossi's answer.

Four of them sitting there about half of an hour, but nobody said anything. Morgan paced anxiously the bullpen, anger, humiliation, defeat; he could not express what exactly in his mind. The police locked him down as a suspect during two hours; he could not even company Hotch to the hospital.

"DMD!" he opened up, broke the silence.

"Morgan, you have to calm down." Rossi said,

" How could I calm down, this son of BCH..."

" You have to, we have two men down, now the anger and the frustration can not help us out. The last thing we should not do is let the anger and frustration overwhelm us, lost our focus, our mind and let Foyet win. Now, just sit down, and let's think and talk."

"But Strauss gave clear message that we can not involve into Ho... I mean Foyet's case, she said clearly now, we have to handle the other cases as routine job until the further instruction." JJ said.

" I know, and we have the job to do also. JJ, did you choose the case we will work on?" Rossi asked.

" Strauss said she could understand what we have been through this week, and how we are feeling now, she said maybe we can stay in the office for the next couple of days to make some paper analysis to help the local police, so I choose one cold case of three years ago, an unsub harmed seven people in the different movie houses on watching the horror movies."

" No killing, nobody dead, just harm?"

"Yes, he just cut people on the back with eh... eh with a knife." JJ seems to be very difficult to pronounce the word" Knife", and the police thought that he did not want to kill but to harm and make panic, and then three years ago, he stopped and vanished."

" Okay, let's start it."

"JJ, turn on the news." Gacia jumped in.

JJ turned on the TV, on the screen, there was a picture of Hotch, lying in his own blood pool,

"FBI BAU unit chief, supervisor special agent Aarron Hotchner was attacked out of duty in his own home, he was shot and then stabbed 9 times, he is now in critical condition. According to the reliable internal source, the Boston Reaper, George Foyet who escaped magically from the custody of a federal prison months before, is back now for revenge, he is considered as the major suspect of Agent Hotchner's attacker. "

"The Police Officer also found in the crime scene a FBI credential belonged to another FBI agent, supervisor special agent, Derek Morgan, who had been attacked by Foyet during one operation, and lost his credential and never found again, even after Foyet was in custody. That is not the whole tragedy. The formal reporter of Boston, who was also the writer of Foyet's biography "Night of the Reaper" was also stabbed to death after he sent Foyet' attack news and pictures by e-mail to his editor. Foyet left his mask at Roy's home. Till now, FBI and police still have no trace of Foyet." Followed the picture of Roy's dead body, Foyet's evil smile occupies the whole TV screen.

"You son of BCH." Derek punched the table.

"Obviously he was the reliable internal source, he directed the whole show. He is a self-made superstar now." Rossi said.

" He said he would become more famous than we could ever imagine." Prentiss said.

"We will get him." Rossi turn off the TV. "JJ, we have to run a press conference."

In front of the federal building, the press conference was held. JJ looked at the crowed, really hated the attention of the media, they were just like the hungry animals crowed waiting there, and prepared in any second to jump on a piece of bloody fresh meat you threw to them.

"They are all here to seek the bloody and creepy the story, everyone wants make the bloody and creepy story of him own. They never thought how they would be if one day they became the centric victim of horrible crime." Morgan said.

"Are you sure you can do this?" Rossi asked Morgan,

" Yes, I have to. Because he told people he defeat two FBI agents and he wants to show to the public how powerless incapable we are as FBI agents, and gave the ultimate impression that he is invincible. I don't care that people think how embarrassed I am, I have to stand there, not to face to the public but face to him through the television, and tell him, yes, you did have successfully attacked us, but in the end, we will get you, and put you in justice."
