“If we know who the Unsub is, why have we not captured him?” Derek Morgan asked as he leaned onto his elbows in the conference room.

“Because,” Aaron ‘Hotch’ Hotchner stated. “He has a similar signature as Landon Baker. Cutting ‘LB’ into the arms of your victim is not a common signature. And he was never caught.”

“Does that mean he came to the states though?” David Rossi asked as he looked at the images of the victims on his tablet.

Jennifer Jareau, or JJ, began to pace. “We only have a day before he strikes again. How are we supposed to find this guy if we don’t know anything about him?”

“We could contact the London branch, since thats where the last set of murders were.” Spencer Reid said, as he came in with coffee. The team had been up all night, and were no closer than they were before.

“Interpol?” JJ asked, perking up slightly.

Because the whole team knew that Interpol meant, “I’ll call Prentiss.” Hotch said quickly, before walking out of the room.

When he came back, about ten minutes later, he had perked up a little. “She said she’s flying out, and she faxed some files to Garcia.” he said in a clipped, professional tone.

“Really?” Penelope squealed, “Em’s coming home!”

“Who is Em?” Kate Callahan asked with a confused frown.

“Emily Prentiss was before you and Blake. She’s the daughter of the US Ambassador, Elizabeth Prentiss.” Hotch supplied, sitting in a chair. “Alright guys, go stretch your legs. Meet back here in ten. Prentiss will be here in about two hours.”

“Ooh fast London jets.” JJ said, as she walked out with Callahan.

spencer smiled, because in all seriousness, he had missed Emily, and besides a few texts and emails, they had all but lost contact.

“I never realized just how much I missed her.” JJ said with a sad smile. “I mean, I can’t believe I let myself lose contact.”

“I know. After Derek and I made that first trip, I sort of lost contact.” Penelope said as she sat at Spencer’s desk. “I mean, besides my email every month.”

“I haven’t...I really miss her, you know?” JJ said in response, reclining back. “I hope she gets here soon so we can wrap this up and go to bed. And then after sleeping we can hang out with Ms. Emily Prentiss...oh! I wonder if she became a Mrs.?”

“We may have lost touch, but she would have at least told if she had gotten married!” Spencer said as he flipped the page of the book he was reading.

*********

“Agent Prentiss just landed,” an agent said to Hotch.

“Thank you,” Hotch said. “Rossi, do you want to go pick her up?” Even though I really want to see her. The older man nodded.

“I’ll be back in ten!” he called as he ran out the door.

I can’t wait to see Emily again. Phone calls and emails are nice, but he missed her. Not that he would ever tell his team that. Nor would he tell them that he had been in almost daily contact with his former subordinate.

********

“EMILY!” Garcia yelled as she ran over to the woman standing at the doors to the bullpen.

“Em!” JJ also called. After long hugs, and wiping away Penelope’s tears, Emily walked in.

“I don’t get hugs?” she asked with a small smile.

“Come here, you!” Derek said as he wrapped his arms around his former partner.

“I missed you.” Emily said against his muscular chest.

“Ditto,” he said with a smirk.

“Couldn’t get in a proper hug at the airport,” Rossi said as he embraced her. Emily laughed as they broke apart. She shook Kate Callahan’s hand.

“Hi, I’m Emily or...Prentiss.” she said politely.

“Hello.” Kate said, before turning away, not in a rude way. Callahan knew from the moment Hotch stopped talking mid sentence when Penelope had screamed ‘Emily’ that Hotch would want to say hello to her without Kate in the way.

Emily stepped over to him “Hello Hotch.”

“Prentiss.” he said seriously before smiling slightly. “Get over here.” He held his arms up, and she all but ran towards him. Wrapping her arms around his neck she inhaled deeply. How she missed this smell. “I missed you. A lot.” he breathed into her ear.

“I missed you too.” she whispered. He hoped she didn’t notice him smelling her hair. She smelled nice, like flowers. “Oh!” Emily pulled away slightly, after realizing they had been hugging for almost 45 seconds. “Um, so let’s see what you guys have about Landon compared to what I have.

Hey criminatics! So this is a hotchniss fic for CM fans, centered around season 10 w/ Prentiss coming back. I'm writing it w/ OneTrueVision49, I think we are aiming towards a chapter a week, hopefully more! So it's rated M, but it won't get dirty for a few chapters.

XOXO
