~Tension~
•••After the team had arrived at the station they all set up then went their separate ways. Camilla was avoiding Hotch every chance she could but now they were in a car alone together driving to the river where the bodies were found. Camilla is flipping through her file on her lap with her headphones in doing her best to ignore him. The tension between them is so strong it can be cut with a knife. They keep glancing at each other and looking away. Eventually they pull up to the river and Camilla has never jumped out of a car so fast in her life. She unplugged her headphones throwing them back in the car with her file before she starts the steep walk to where the bodies were found. Hotch follows closely behind her in case she falls. As she goes to duck under the caution tape she trips slightly. Hotch is quick to grab her. He wraps his arms around her waist tightly pulling her back against him to stop her from slipping. "Slow down." He tells her quietly as she takes a couple deep breaths to catch her breath.
"Come on." She says quietly after a while of them quietly standing like that. She pulls away and continues walking but slower this time. He silently follows her still sticking close to her.
Eventually they make it to the side of the river and Camilla starts looking around taking in everything around them. "Both couples were found here." Hotch tells her as he points to an area next to them in the water. Camilla nods as she turns to face him still looking around. "We should talk about earlier." He says as she walks past him and down the side of the river. He follows after her slowly.
"We're working." She replies as he comes up next to her watching her eyes scan the water around them
"This is probably one of the only changes we're going to get alone." He says as they continue walking
"We could just not talk about it." She says quietly.
He moves to stand in front of her stoping her from moving forward. "Cami." He says. She finally looks up into his eyes as he takes her hands. "I know you're scared but I promise to make it worth it." He says.
She looks away slightly as she starts listening to their surroundings. He continues talking but she tones him out. "Shut up!" She exclaims quickly as she pulls her hands back trying to focus
"You can't talk to me like that." He tells her in an annoyed tone as she once again walks around him and down the river quicker this time.
He follows after her just as quick. "What are you going to do about it? Punish me?" She asks sarcastically as she crouches down next to a pile of leaves on the ground that the water washes up against occasionally.
"I could..." He starts to respond but trails off as he watches her brush away the leaves with her hands revealing a small abandoned sewer tunnel. "How did you find this?" He asks as he crouched down next to her to help her open it. Once they get it open they both shine a flashlight into it.
