the ticking clock on your wrist seemed to pulse with each move the arms made, each one notifying you that you were running a little later than before. when spencer rounded the corner to your mother's house, you sighed in short relief, unbuckling your seat belt when he parked and getting out of the car to open the door to the back, smiling at your son in his booster seat. "hey, bug," you whispered, undoing his seatbelt and pressing your lips to his head in a weak attempt to wake him up. spencer was taking things out of the trunk hurriedly, setting them down and walking to the door of the house, where your mother was already waiting.
you pulled your little boy into your arms, seeing as he wasn't fully awake yet and would probably stumble over his feet if you set him down. you only hummed when his fingers twisted in your shirt, holding you close.
"hey, mom," you greeted, giving her a kiss on the cheek. spencer's hand rested on your lower back, the other adjusting emiliano's hair.
"i'm sorry we're so late, it was supposed to be a day off so yesterday we stayed up late, and emi wouldn't wake up," you said, your mom only nodding as a response and stretching her arms out.
you kissed emiliano on the head again as a goodbye, smiling when he made a little noise and handed him to spencer, who pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead before giving him to your mom. you waved goodbye to your son, heart stinging a bit from the disappointment that you weren't going to spend the day with him like planned. "bye, mom! we'll be back later, i love you!"
your mom sent you a goodbye you barely heard as you and spencer sped walked back to your car, driving to work late.

-
the ten minutes you were running late didn't seem like such a big deal when you realized practically everyone else was behind schedule as well, although you couldn't blame anyone, it was supposed to be your free day. spencer had even planned to go to a comic con with penelope, but he had only been able to start to get dressed before everyone got called in.
you and spencer were still in the car, examining the scene before getting out. outside, spencer planted a quick kiss on your lips, and you smiled, giving his hand a squeeze, then joining your team.
you stood between spencer and jj, greeting the others with a small nod and a smile before hotch began to list facts about the case. out of the corner of your eye, you noticed jj and emily''s hands tangling together, and a small smile sneaked onto your lips. your eyes flicked up to will's face, realizing he had seen it too.
you looked back to hotch, who was still talking.
"... killed one person in each robbery."
rossi voiced the question you had before you could, "m.o.?"
"single gunshot wound. each of the victims has bled out," hotch explained and you all began walking towards the large vehicle housing penelope, sometimes cutting in with thoughts.
"serial killers with a thirty day cooling off period and we're only just hearing about this now?" emily asked.
"headquarters identified them as robbers first and killers second," hotch said, and you raised an eyebrow, "no one kills seven people without serious psychopathic tendencies- especially in the span of seven months."
"i agree; i disagreed with the original assessment, but i was overruled."
you nodded, continuing to listen to what hotch was saying as you walked into the fbi rv.
"why haven't we been able to id them off of surveillance footage?" derek asked.
"they hack the security feed and turn off the cameras. both during the initial canvass and during the robbery, until the masks come back on, and then we're allowed to watch."
you squeezed penelope's shoulder as a greeting, and she only smiled, blowing you a kiss as she continued to type.
you looked up at the screen showcasing the surveillance, running your eyes through the hostages. "they're using the hostages as human shields," you observed out loud.
"this is the first time they've been interrupted. what went wrong?" jj asked; the rest of the team voiced their thoughts until hotch gave everyone orders on what to do and where to go.
"jj, reid, and prentiss, look over past robberies, that's going to be our victimology. pull another analyst if you need to. dave, handle negotiations, and morgan and l/n, strategize tactical options with mpd."
you all nodded, and you squeezed spencer's hand once more as a goodbye, walking out with derek.
