Arizona (Hawaii Five-0 / Criminal Minds/ FBI International Fanfic)

Chapter 6 (Edited-Shorter Chapter)

4 Days Later...

BAU Office, FBI Academy, Quantico Virginia

The agents stood around Reid's desk wondering who was in Hotch's office with him. "I heard the directors been trying to find someone to join the team, do you think this has something to do with that?" Garcia asked trying to mask the worried tone in her voice. "It could be, I mean don't get me wrong I miss Arizona too and I want her to come back but, we can't stay a man down forever," Prentiss said. "But it's her spot," Morgan added, "And she up and disappeared for 3 and a half months now," Prentiss replied adding to her point. 

Morgan went to say something when the door to Hotch's office opened and the BAU unit chief walked out with medium height man, who was built, with short dark curly hair. "Everyone this Special Agent Luke Alvez, he's temporarily been assigned to us from the Fugitive Task Force, Also we caught a case," Hotch added as everyone made their way into the round table room. "Hey I'm JJ," The blonde said holding her hand out to Alvez who shook her hand. "Alvez," he replied. 

"I'm Morgan" the agent added shaking his hand, "Rossi," he said shaking his hand, "Prentiss," she said shaking his hand. "Reid, I don't shake hands," the doctor replied. "Garcia, don't get comfortable newbie," she told him with a glare as everyone took a seat. 

1 Month Later...

Gabriel's Yacht, Coast of Santa Maria Mexico 

Arizona lay on the the couch at the back of the yacht in the sun enjoying the hot weather. It was absolutely peaceful. Gabriel was below deck making them a drink, As the dark hair woman sat in the sun her mind began to wander. It had been 4 and a half months since she took off to Mexico, she hadn't called Steve or her Uncle Dave. She wasn't sure what to say, she went to call them at least half a dozen times but just couldn't. 

What would she say? 'Hey, I'm okay even though I ran away for months and completely disappointed you'  Arizona let out a sigh as she sat up. "Here, I made you a Mai Tai," Gabriel said handing her a drink. "Thanks," she said sending him a smile as she took a sip of her drink keeping her mind on the bright bluish-green water surrounding them. "What's going on in your mind darling?" he asked her softly. "Where to go from here, I guess," Arizona replied softly as she took another sip of the drink and bringing her gaze to meet his. 

Gabriel was quiet as he took a seat next to her on the couch at the back of the yacht. "Your thinking of leaving Mexico?" he asked her earning a slow nod. "Are you thinking about heading back to Hawaii?" Gabriel asked as Arizona shook her head no. "Europe for a bit," she replied thinking out loud. "I don't suppose you have a business trip to Prague planned," Arizona said as she took another sip of her drink. 

"Prague? Unfortunately, I don't. So that's where you're thinking of heading? Czechia?" Gabriel asked "Not for long, it would be more, or less just passing through," Arizona replied as she stared off at the open ocean. The two fell into a comfortable silence as the dark haired woman moved so she could rest her head on Gabriel's chest. "I'm gonna miss this," he said softly after a moment. "I'm gonna miss you," he added causing Arizona to turn and look at him. Gabriel leaned down and softly pressed his lips to hers. Arizona instantly started kissing him back, turning around fully and straddling his waist. 

BAU Private Jet Destination: Quantico Virginia

JJ, Prentiss, Morgan, and Alvez sat at a table on their way back from Montana. "How do you think Arizona's doing?" JJ asked thinking out loud. Her words caused all the agents at the table to look at her. Along with Reid who was sitting on the couch across from their table reading a book. "Hopefully she's alright," Morgan replied letting out a sad sigh. "Arizona? she's the agent that took off from the BAU a few months ago?" Alvez asked. "Yea... Her dad, was killed," JJ replied not wanting to go to much into it. "Did you catch the guy that did it?" Alvez asked. 

"Her brother caught him about a month ago, but he believes there are more people behind the hit," Prentiss added as Rossi's phone rang from his pocket. "Agent David Rossi," the agent said answering the call. "Dave, it's Agent Scott Forrester," he said through the line. "Agent Forrester, how's everything going?" Rossi asked him. "About the usual, how are you? How's the BAU?" Forrester replied. "The usual, I'm doing alright and we're managing. I'm guessing you're not calling to just check in though," Rossi replied through the line. 

"You'd be right," Forrester replied. "I reached out to a few contacts a couple of months ago when McGarrett took off. Asked if they located her to contact me," Forrester explained. "You got something?" Rossi said more than asked him. "I'm sending you a couple of photos now," Forrester said as Rossi's phone vibrated. "I got them," Rossi replied as he opened the message from Forrester and 2 photos appeared. 

In the first photo, Arizona stood on a beach as the sun set next to a medium height man with dark hair. The second photo was of Arizona and the tall dark haired mystery man sitting in a fancy restaurant. "Are these surveillance photos?" Rossi asked through the line. "They are, do you recognize the man McGarrett is with?" Forrester asked. "I don't, I can get our tech analyst to run the name- No need Dave, I got the surveillance photos from a friend in the DEA," Forrester replied. "The DEA? Why is the DEA watching Arizona?" Rossi asked confused. 

His words caught the other agent's attention as he spoke. "The DEA wasn't interested in Arizona. They were looking into the man she's with, Gabriel Waincroft." Forrester replied. "He's a massive drug lord for the Sinaloa Cartel, The DEA has been building a case against him for the last 2 years," Forrester replied. "Where were the photos taken?" Rossi asked. "2 weeks ago in Los Mochis, Mexico" Forrester replied. "Thank you, Forrester, keep me in the loop," Rossi replied before he hung up the line. 

Looking up Rossi met Hotch's stare along with JJ, Prentiss, Morgan, and Alvez. "That was Agent Scott Forrester. A friend of his in the DEA reached out to him and sent him these," Rossi said pulling up the photos and handing them to Hotch. "Is that Arizona?" Hotch asked earning a nod from the agent. Hotch handed the phone to Morgan so he and the rest of the agents could look at it. "Why does the DEA have surveillance photos of Arizona?" Reid asked Rossi. "The DEA was working a 2 year case against the man in the photo with Arizona," Rossi explained. 

"Who is he?" Hotch asked, "Gabriel Waincroft, he's a huge drug lord for the Sinaloa Cartel," Alvez said instantly recognizing the man. "You know him?" Hotch asked the agent, "My team and I had a few run in's with him," Alvez replied. "Where were the photos taken?" Prentiss asked. "Los Mochis Mexico 2 weeks ago," Rossi replied. "Mexico?" Morgan repeated surprised the agent took off to Mexico. "So are we heading to Los Mochis?" JJ asked Rossi and Hotch. Rossi shook his head and pulled his phone out. "No, But I know someone who will,"  Rossi replied as he dialed Steve's number.
