Criminal Minds 2!

Chapter 41: The Man in the Photo!

       Emily looked at the man she hasn't seen since she lived with her mom. "Why did you bring him here?" Emily asked. "We were on a buisness trip when Hotchner called." Elizabeth replied. "I want him out of here." Emily told him. "Honey, I thought those delusions were over." Elizabeth commented as she stepped closer to Emily, but she stepped back and her mom sighed. "I never want to see you again. I'm done." Emily told her and ran off. Aaron sighed and followed his girlfriend.
      Emily ran into Aaron's office and shut the door. Aaron walked in after her and shut the door behind him. "Was that him?" Aaron asked and Emily sighed. "Yes." Emily replied as she kept her back turned to him. Aaron touched her shoulder and she turned around to face him. "Are you okay?" Aaron asked. "No. I want him gone, and I want her gone." Emily replied in tears. Aaron sighed and hugged her as she hugged back. "I know, Em. I know." Aaron agreed. "I just cajt believe she brought him here after everything." Emily commented. 'What did she mean by dilusions?" Aaron asked. Emily sighed as she pulled away. "She made me see a therapist, and take pills. She made me think everything that he did to me was just in my head." Emily replied. "Em." Aaron commented. "Don't. I just don't want him here." Emily told him and he nodded. "I'll take care of it." Aaron told her. "Thank you." Emily commented and Aaron walked out.
     Aaron walked over to them, but they walked into the round table room. Aaron sighed and followed them. Penelope stood up and looked at him. "You're the man from the photo." Pendkope commented. "You both need to leave." Aaron told them and Elizabeth turned to face him. "This is absorb!" Elizabeth exclaimed. "The only absorbed thing is what he did, and he knows what he did." Aaron told her. "He didn't do anything, he's a good man." Elizabeth told her. "You're in denial. You should have listened to your daughter rather then making her think she's crazy." Aaron told her. "I take offense to that! I was only trying to help her!" Elizabeth exclaimed. "No, you weren't." Emily commented as she walked in. "Em." Aaron commented. "What do you mean?" Elizabeth asked. "Deep down, you knew I was telling the truth.  You just couldn't deal with working with and trusting someone you could do that, especially to your own daughter." Emily replied. "Do you hate me so much to keep this lie going?" Elizabeth asked. "You not believing me, is just one reason why I hate you." Emily replied and Elizabeth sighed. "I think we overstayed our welcome." Elizabeth commented as she walked out with her friend. "You were never welcomed." Emily told her. Elizabeth sighed and left.
     Aaron walked into his office and saw Emily sitting at his desk. "How are you doing?" Aaron asked. "I don't know. I never thought I would see him again." Emily replied and Aaron nodded. "That must have been aweful." Aaron commented. "It was. When I saw him again, it's like I was reliving that night." Emily replied. Aaron walked over to her and sat on the edge of his desk as he took her hands in his. "It'll be okay, he won't get away with this." Aaron told her. "He already has. I just rather put it in the back of my mind like before." Emily told him. "No, Emily. It's not good for you, and I want to help you." Aaron told her. "How? How could you possibly help?" Emily asked as she stood up. Aaron sighed as he stood up too. "By putting him behind bars, where he belongs." Aaron replied. "And how will you do that?" Emily asked. "Profiling him. If he did it back then, he probably has other victims, and some might not be as lucky as you were. He probably is still going it, and maybe he'll attempt it before he leaves." Aaron replied. "How do you know?" Emily asked. "I don't, but we can try." Aaron replied. "I don't know." Emily told him. "Don't you want justice? Closure?" Aaron asked. "It was a long time ago." Emily replied. "Emily." Aaron commented and she sighed. "Fine. What's your idea?" Emily asked. "Profile him from back then, and I'll profile him from what I noticed in there." Aaron replied and Emily nodded. "Okay." Emily agreed and Aaron hugged her.
       The rest of the team were still in the round table room. "What was that about?" Derek asked. "The man in the photo. There's more to him then we know." Penelope replied. "What's the big deal with this photo? What is this really about?" Derek asked. "We don't know." JJ replied. "Hotch asked me to look up everything I can about him, which is what I'm working on right now." Penelope added. "It was really weird earlier." Spencer commented. "I'll be right back." David told them and he walked out and walked up to Hotch, who was out of his office. "Are you ever going to tell the rest of us what's going on?" David asked and Aaron sighed. "I want to, but it's not my place." Aaron replied and David sighed. 'We deserve to know." David told him and he nodded. "I know." Aaron agreed. "I'll tell you." Emily commented as she walked up. "Really?" David asked. "Yeah, I'll tell all of you." Emily replied. "Are you sure about this?" Aaron asked and Emily took a deep breathe and nodded. "Yes, I refuse to run and let him when." Emily replied.
    Everyone sat in the round table room as Emily stood in front of them. She didn't know what to say, or how to start this. "That man is from my past, which you all know isn't that great of a past.... My mom tried to make me think I was crazy, because she couldn't believe it. Or wouldn't believe it. I don't know. But I do know what happened when I was 13. Which is that he raped me." Emily told them and they gasped.
