Hotch's POV

I arrived at the office. JJ and Garcia were the only team members here so far. The rest come in later. About thirty minutes later Reid, Blake, Rossi and Morgan enter with minutes apart from each other's arrival. Prentiss comes in ten minutes after Morgan. She looks exhausted but she has her coffee. Dammit Aaron stop staring! No wonder she gets uncomfortable when you're near her!
Knock Knock.
"Come in." I say in my stoic voice.
"We have a case." JJ says with a file in her hand.
"Four dead in Michigan. Blonde, blue eye and fit." Garcia says showing us images of the horrific scenes.
"Samantha Green 21, Brittney Slace 20, Allison Heart 20, and our most recent victim Charlette Burns 21.
"He has a strong type." Derek says.
"What's the cause of death?" Rossi asks.
"Suffocation. Most likely with a belt looking at the marks." JJ answered.
"Wheels up in thirty." I said and went to grab my go bag and look over the files closer until briefing on the plane.

Control. Control yourself Aaron. Stay calm. I said these things to myself too keep from blurtimg out my love for Emily Prentiss as she sits next to me on the jet. Emily a fierce, mysterious, smart, talented, beautiful women. However she is my coworked and it's against the rules to date them. Even if it wasn't against the rules I couldn't. I'm this mean, stubborn, asshole bossman. I rarely laugh or smile, and I'm a heartless drill sargent. That's how the team sees me most of the time but I have layers. I'm so much more then that. I love, smile, laugh, care and I have a past. There is so much more to me then a glaring face.
"Okay so we have an unsub who kills blonde haired, blue eyed women who go to college." Morgan says.
"Probaly a student or teacher, considering the age range that is not wide." Blake suggests.
"He likes to feel the life leave his victims bodies." Reid adds.
"He has a vehicle or he attacks them on foot. Some dump sites have been close to appartments, parks and campuses. I doubt he takes them to a secondary location." Prentiss says in her sweet voice.
"The victim type is specific so he most likely suffered the loss of a child if he is older or recently had a divorce or break up." Rossi says.
"Rossi and Blake got to the recent dump site. Reid and JJ set up at the police station and work on a preliminary profile with Morgan while Prentiss and I check out the abduction sites. We'll meet back at the station in two hours and Garcia see if any of the victims came in contact with each other. I'm the mean time we should all get some rest before we land." I say and rest in my seat. Well as much rest I could get when there is this goddess next to me.

Emily's POV

Finally we land. Usually I don't mind sitting next to Hotch so closely on the jet but he seemed different in a bad way and it hurts to see him like that. I needed to be alone with him so I could talk with him privately. Our latest victim, Charlette was abducted from her apartment. It's weird, he kills them or abducts them from their homes only to throw them around the corner in a filthier place. Why not just leave to save time? I mentioned this to Hotch.
"He might feel uncomfortable in their homes since he possible lost his. I think we have a profile." He said and we walked back to the SUV after a couple more minutes of looking around at her personal stuff.
"Hey Hotch." I say.
"Yes?" He asks.
"Are you okay?" I ask.
"Yes, I'm fine." He replies.
"I'm a profiler don't think you can get away that easily." I say with a small smirk.
"Prentiss I'm fine." He says slightly annoyed.
"Hotch I'm always here if you need someone to talk to." I say and place my hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you." He says parking and we walk into the station.

Hotch's POV

"What'd you find?" JJ asks as we walk in.

"The unsub is a white male in his early thirties, recently divorced and he uses his victims as a substitute for his anger on his wife." I say.

"He probably lives in this area." Reid says circling a spot on the map. It's between the colleges, abduction and dump sites.

"Well we noticed he dumps the victims in filthy places, he doesn't care if they get found or not, and he had no remorse for them." Rossi says.

"He has extreme anger towards himself and ex wife." Blake says.

"Prentiss." I say walking up to her when she walks up to the coffee bar.

"Oh hey Hotch." She says smiling.

"Can we go grab some coffee. It's better than this stuff." I ask. I'm ready to talk to her.

"Oh ha yeah sure." She says and we walk out.
×××××××××××××
"You were asking me earlier if I was okay. We'll the truth is I'm not." I admit to Prentiss.

"So this coffee date is so you can talk to me? Oh not that this is a date or anything." She says blushing.

"Yes I'm ready to talk and no this is not a date." I say reassuringly but it sounded awkward.

"So I've noticed that you've been tense lately." She says. "What's going on?" She asks.

"Haley's left and she's not coming back." I say struggling not to cry.

"Hotch I'm sorry." She says.

"I've kind of saw it coming. I mean we've had problems for the last four years." I say. I know this divorce is my fault.

"Four years? Why didn't you come ask for help? I mean it's not like we could do anything but I feel like I let you down." She says.

"That's the thing. I've been working more and only to be around her more." I admit.

"You've been having an affair?" She asks shocked.

"No I'd never cheat on Haley but the spark is lost and I like this other person." I say.

"Does this mystery girl know?" She asks.

"No but things would never work out between us. Man this sounds like jr.high drama." I say and it earns a laugh from Prentiss.

"No, no things like this happen in marriages." She says.

"And I feel horrible for my feelings but Haley lost the spark too. We love each other but we just like other people. How is Jack gonna take this?" I say worried about Jack. I hope I haven't revealed any feelings for her yet. I didn't even describe "the other woman" Oh god I'm gonna have to tell her soon.

Em's POV

"Well if Haley does leave for good tell the other women how you feel. And for Jack well I don't have kids but he'll be okay. He's a tough man like his dad." I say trying my best with advice. I'm a little heart broken. Once Haley is out of the picture it's just for this other slut to come in. I'll never be with Hotchner.

"Thanks. Should we get back to the team?" He asks.

"Yeah it's nine o'clock!" I say looking at the clock on the wall.

"Shit. I didn't realize we were here for that long." Hotch says and we head out the door.

JJ's POV

"Where is Hotch and Prentiss?" Morgan asks.

"They've been gone for four hours!" Reid explains.

"You don't think?" I ask Morgan. He knows what I'm talking about. Rossi laughs but Reid just looks clueless.

"Probably." Morgan chuckles.

"What?" Reid whines confused.

"Hotch and Prentiss getting 'it' on." Morgan says to Reid.

"Oh." He says finally understanding. "But what makes you two think they'd be together? He has Haley." Reid says.

"For a genius profiler you sure haven't seen the way they act around each other." I say to Reid.

"The slight touches, stares, getting paired up a lot, tensing up around each other." Rossi says.

"But Haley." Reid says.

"Who knows. Maybe she left. Hotch has been acting different and that could be the reason." Morgan says.

"Well anyway should we get some sleep?" I ask.

"Yeah I'm beat." Morgan says. We all gather up and head to the hotel. Emily is nowhere to be found. I wonder why, I say to myself sarcastically.
