Elijah hummed as he walked out of the bathroom in Rossi's house, adjusting his top button. He'd stayed the night, just so they could spend time together. Meanwhile Rossi was in his room, putting his blazer on.
"Going somewhere?" Elijah asked, noticing him as he walked past.
"Oh- I would have what you kids call..A date."
"A date- With who?" Elijah blinked.
"Can't an old man keep his secret?" Rossi asked.
"Not around me, dad." Elijah shook his head.
"It's.. An old friend."
"An old friend, hm?" Elijah raised a brow.
"An..Ex-wife." He admitted.
"Which one?"
"Carolyn."
"Ooh, number one?" Elijah tilted his head.
"Number one." He hummed.
"What's she like?"
"Well, she might have changed from the last time I saw her." Rossi shrugged,"Does my beard look okay?"
"You look great, dad." Elijah chuckled,"Go enjoy yourself."
"Thanks, figlio." He hummed.
"No problem." Elijah smiled.

"So, where's Dave?" Fleur asked.
"He's out with a friend." Elijah hummed, playing with his pen.
"A friend?" She raised a brow.
"A lady friend."
"Oh- Oh." Fleur nodded, sitting down in the Conference Room.
"Her name's Carolyn." Elijah smiled.
"Ah, is it an old wife?"
"His first." He nodded.
"Oh, so it's serious."
"I think so."
Fleur chuckled,"I hope he enjoys it."
"Me too, he deserves something nice." Elijah smiled.
"For once." Fleur nodded.
"Hey, I'm sorry I'm late. I got hung up with something." Rossi told them as he hurried in, sitting down,"What do we got?"
"A child abduction in St Louis." Hotch nodded.
"Yeah. Bobby Smith, nine years old, vanished 48 hours ago from a residential area where his mother, Marlene Smith, claims to have dropped him off." Garcia told them.
"Forty eight hours and we're just learning about it now?" Morgan raised a brow.
"Yeah. That's cause mom didn't know he was gone. She assumed he was with the grandmother and just left him there." She sighed.
"So she's not exactly on a short list for mother of the year." Fleur muttered.
"What about the father?" Emily asked.
"He was convicted of embezzling from his workplace two weeks ago. Currently cooling his heels in state prison." Garcia hummed.
"If it's a stranger abduction, the first 24 hours are critical. This kids already been missing twice as long." Rossi nodded.
"Which is why we shouldn't waste any more time. Let's go." Hotch clapped.
