Elizabeth was sat opposite her support counsellor, in the hopes of her nightmares stopping but she wouldn't tell anyone about them... she was too stubborn for that and she thought that if she showed weakness on the team, everyone would think of her differently.
"they only come twice a week." the agent rubbed her arm as she kept diverting her glances around the room, but she never once made eye contact with the counsellor, April, as she thought that she was being judged.
"and what happens in them?" April asked.
Elizabeth sucked in a deep breath before her eyes want to April, "uhm i didn't make it, they didn't save me in time." she muttered as she looked down on the floor. "but they did, you fought him off and they rescued you." April comforted her.
"i need it to stop." Elizabeth felt small.
Elizabeth and April continued to speak for ten more minutes before her phone buzzed, "i'm sorry." she apologised as she looked down at her phone to see a text from Penelope. "i have a case." she muttered as she stood up, and she shook the hand of April before heading down to the sixth level.
"okay, we can start." Hotch alerted the team as soon as Elizabeth sat down next to JJ and Emily. "okay crime fighters. You are travelling to a small town, Ozona, Texas." Garcia pressed a button to show where on the map the town was.
Elizabeth looked over to her boyfriend quickly, shooting him a quick smile before looking down to her tablet. "august twenty eighth, Robbie Davis, was killed and he was found in the woods." the tech analyst presented the case to her team.
"how was he killed?" Emily swiped across to look at the autopsy report. "blunt force trauma to the head." Hotch spoke as he straightened his tie. "so it is a male then." JJ made herself more comfortable on the chair.
Elizabeth bit her lip as Garcia presented the case more, "it's only one murder, why are we being called in?" Derek spoke his girlfriend's mind like he knew what she was thinking. "the local police think it is going to turn serial." Rossi stated.
"wheels up in twenty." Hotch stood up and left.
Elizabeth closed the tablets cover before standing up, and she walked over to her desk. "how did it go?" she turned around to see her boyfriend standing behind her, with his hands in his pockets but he held himself high.
"it was the same as the last five sessions." Elizabeth shrugged.
Derek walked closer to his girlfriend before pulling her close, "you are doing good, baby." he rubbed her cheek in a comforting manner. "i know." she mutters as she stared into his eyes.
"it's nearly our one year anniversary hunk." Elizabeth squeezed his muscles as she backed away to grab her to go bag. "it's gone too fast." her boyfriend laughed as he excused himself to get his bag from his office.
