"What are you doing here?" JJ asks as I walk into the conference room.
"I work here." I state.
"You just got out of the hospital!" She scoffs.
"And now I'm at work. Thank you for reliving my schedule." I mock.
"Danika, what are you doing here?" Derek asks and huff.
"What did you forget now?" Hotch asks as he walks into the room.
"Seriously? You too? I had a full recovery! I have a doctor's note and everything." I say and show him the paper.
"That just says you weren't liable for any damages done to the hospital." Hotch counters.
"It's a note, with a doctor's signature." I argue and he looks at me deadpan.
"You were just blown up a couple of days ago!" Blake recalls and I roll my eyes.
"I didn't even get a concussion!" I scoff.
"The answer is no, go home." Hotch orders.
"There's nothing to do there." I whine.
"What about your boyfriend?" Derek chuckles.
"We split up." I mutter remembering that he put Huck in a box, making him relive his trauma.
"Sorry to hear that." Reid apologizes.
"So, can I stay?" I ask.
"No." Hotch answers pointedly.
"Oh, come on!" I whine and stomp my feet.
"Danika, go home. That's an order." Hotch says staring me down and I narrow my eyes.
We stare at one another for what seems like an eternity, neither of us blinking. I can feel the tension in the room thicken as everyone watches us in silence. No one dares to speak or move.
When I don't budge Hotch stands up, towering over me. He grabs me by the arm and drags me out of the room.
He puts me in the car and gets in the driver's seat. He drives to my apartment, brings me to it and puts me on the couch.
"Stay." He orders with one word then leaves.
I huff and cross my arms knowing if I don't listen I'll be in serious trouble. Or worse, get desk duty.
I try to see what's on tv but get bored rather we quickly. I get to the point of cleaning but finish in an hour. I pace around my room trying to figure out what to do next.
I finally change into my pj's and fall asleep. I wake up feeling well rested and ready for anything only to see another hour passed.
"You gotta be kidding me!" I groan out of frustration.
"You know what, screw this." I mutter and get dressed again.
I head out on the train to New York and walk around till it gets dark. I like it when it's dark, less people.

"Son of a bitch." I mutter as I come across a dead woman on the sidewalk.
She has a stab wound to her abdomen and her panties are at her ankles. She still has her purse so it wasn't a robbery.
I get my phone out and dial Fin's number knowing he's probably up. It rings only for a cop to show up behind me.
"Hands where I can see them!" He shouts and I hang up the phone and put my hands up.
"Get up, slowly!" He orders and I roll my eyes knowing when he sees the gun he's gonna freak.
