Season 2 Episode 19 = Ashes and Dust

As we left the conference room and were walked downstairs I heard my name being called, I turned and saw agent Hotchner.

"Prentiss, I want you with me."

"You sure you want to take Prentiss to the burnt unit?" Agent Gideon asked.

"Yes" He didn't elaborate, and I could very well guess that it was not going to be something that I would easily forget. "Come with me." He said looking at me.

I followed him to his office, where he got his things, and then we were off. As we drove to the hospital he started talking.

"Have you ever being to a burnt unit?"

"No, sir."

"This won't be a easy one agent, to this day I think those are the hardest interviews we have to do, physically and emotionally for both us and the victims." Yes, it was going to be as bad as I imagine.

"Understood sir."

"I want you with me, but if you feel you need to leave, please do, it's important not to put the victim through anymore…" He stopped at that. "There are always big chances that we will be the last they will ever see, and so, in my opinion, it's best that we do it as comfortably as possible." God.

"I understand sir. If I may say sir, thank you for bringing me."

"You may change your mind after the interview is over."

After calling agent Gideon and telling him all that the victim could remember I got myself back together and went inside the room again. I did not know how I felt over the fact that agent Hotchner decided to lie to a dying woman, but I could see how the circumstances would demand that decision out of him.

When I walked inside he looked over at me.

"See Mrs. Cutler, agent Prentiss already talked to your husband and son, they will wait until you are ready." He looked at me and continued. "In the mean while Prentiss and I will wait with you."

It didn't take long, maybe twenty minutes or half an hour and she was gone. I started to fell the tears that had being threatening to fall star to come down my face so I quickly left the room and went to the bathroom. After getting myself back together I started going to the car where I thought agent Hotchner would be, I was surprised to find him waiting for me at the door of the female bathroom.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine sir, I'm sorry about that."

"You did well Prentiss, I've had that couldn't even stay in the room long enough to get their names out." That would certainly said FBI finest. "You did your job and was able to help me comfort the victim until it was need, that is all I can ask from an agent in a situation like this."

I looked up surprised at his kind words "Thank you."

As we were about to leave for the car a nurse came to talk to us.

"Agents, Mrs. Cutler's sister is on her way to the hospital as we speak, she would like to talk to one of you if possible." I knew agent Hotchner wanted to go back to the station as soon as possible to get the profile out, so I stepped up.

"If you would like it sir, I can stay while you get back to the station, I'll talk to the sister and meet you there as soon as I can." I wasn't sure if I was asking permission or telling him, but either way he accented and went on his way.

Being partnered with agent Hotchner was not a normal occurrence for me yet, but definitely not while on a case with so many children's death as this one, and we could all see how it was affecting him. He was angry, unstable.

But at the same time he was focused, and being new to this side of the older agent I did not know in what way things would end.

And to top it off it was a lot weird to hear your boss and his wife have a "discussion". I guess any type of intimate conversation between him and anyone would freak me out. I knew agent Hotchner, that was it... And I sure as hell would keep it like that.

He had being reluctant to answer the call, but she had tried a few times and he ended up giving up. Just like him I would never call anyone on a personal level in front of team mates, so I told Liam he could only text me while I was away, no way of knowing when I would be alone. But the rules things changed when you were married and had a kid.

We spent the whole night watching Mr. Abbey's movements inside his house, by the time morning came I was feeling slightly stiff, the joys of spending almost 20 hours stuck in a SUV.

After hearing of the new victim we new that the UNSUB was escalating, we had to find him soon, otherwise worst thing would certainly come. We stopped at the hotel to have a shower, eat something and change our clothes, I looked at the untouched bed and felt more tired then before, so I quickly finished getting ready and went to join agent Hotcher, we had another stalking day ahead of us.

After meeting him at the lobby I could see he was getting more and more involved into the case, he decided both of us should go back to Mr. Abbey's detail so we could study him, the officer who had taken our place hadn't being helpful with details.

I got to my hotel room in D.C. late that night, way after eleven, and the only thing I could think about was calling my parents, I knew they were both all the way across the world and that Mother and I weren't really on the best terms since our disagreement the last time I went to have lunch with her.

She had the same complains about me working in the FBI, me not being married, and all that, and she had caught me at a bad moment and we fought, so I just left a message for her and dad.

After getting a shower and eating the last piece of shepherd's pie I had left I called Liam.

"Hi Em."

"Hey."

"Long case?"

"You could say that, I didn't sleep last night, so I'm under the covers about to fall asleep."

"I'm sorry Em, do you want to do something tomorrow? I can get you at the office and we can have a nice lunch." I smiled at that, he had gotten a car with GPS and a started studding a Washington map, Jenny had called and said he wanted to be more on his game with me.

"That would be great actually, can we go have ice cream after?" After days of going out to eat together in almost every meal, while I wasn't on a case, I knew we were heading somewhere good.

"Of course, I swear to spoil you tomorrow darling."

"I might get used to it Liam, you always spoils me on our….dates" finished of lamely, we hadn't labeled out our time together yet.

"I like spoiling you Em, and I would like to call them dates. I would also like to call you mine if it was something that you would like." It was endearing how he could be so outspoken and make me blush sometimes, and other times he would be shy and very nervous.

"I would also like that."

A/N 2: Ok, I gave her a Liam, what do you guys think?
