Vanilla Victory

Emily gasps at the sight of the girl. "That's her, I remember the photo the press sent out." Emily whispers to you. The cashier comes back with the manager. Emily takes the cashier and manager to the side, telling them to call 911. "Danika Harris?" You say in a calm tone. The little girl looks back and stops chewing her mint. The women gets up and pulls out a glock 19, pointing the gun to the little girls head.

"If you come any closer, I'll shoot." The woman says with a demanding tone. "We just want to talk. Put the gun down ma'am." You say as you have both of your hands in view. The woman starts crying as she holds the gun to the little girls head. "Sweetheart, I know you've been through a lot. The loss of your child made you angry, you hated the world. You wanted to punish everybody that had a nice life with healthy kids. So, you targeted families you knew had it all.

You put candy on their doorstep symbolizing their innocence, how sweet they are" You say as you are making eye contact with the killer. Emily looks over at you with a confused but shocked look on her face. "How did you know my daughter died?" The woman said with a upset look on her face. "Wild guess." You say as you shrug your shoulders. The woman drops to the floor, bawling her eyes out, repeating the words, "What have I done" over and over. The little girl runs to Emily.

"You're safe now, we are going to get you home." Emily says holding the little girl. You hear sirens and you see the SWAT team circling the premises. Morgan bursts in and handcuffs the woman. You reach for her wallet to get her ID. Abella Scott, age 31. "You alright, princess." Morgan says to you with a worried look on his face. "Yes, on the plane I figured out what her stressor was, once I told her she dropped to the floor and let the child go." You say with a relieved smile on your face. What you did today was risky, but the outcome was perfect.

"Atta girl, that was impressive." Emily says putting a hand on your shoulder. You smile as you make your way out of the shop. You are now reunited with the rest of the crew after they returned Danika back home. Rossi makes his way over to you and says,"First case you're on, you figure out the unsub. This calls for a celebration." He says as he gives you a hug, telling you that he was proud.

The rest of the team gets back into their vehicles, driving back to the airport to head back home. As you arrive at the airport,  you and Emily board the plane. Moments later, the plane takes off. "Gather around everybody, today was a huge victory all thanks to Agent y/l/n." Hotchner says as he looks at you. "That was incredible y/n, wonderful work." JJ says as she puts her arm around you. "You were very brave today y/n, can I get a hug this time?" Reid says chuckling. You laugh and reach for him. Gosh, he was so tall.

He gave you a tight hug and smelled of cologne and a slight dash of vanilla, your favorite scent. Rossi taps his glass of wine making all the attention go to him. "Since we have 4 days off, how about we go to the club tomorrow night and celebrate?" Rossi says with a huge smile. "Am I invited?" Garcia says as she connected to the computer. "Yes babygirl you're invited." Morgan says laughing as he watches Garcia's face brighten.

"What do you say, Agent y/l/n?" Emily says with a smirk. "I'd love to, I'll be there." You say nodding your head. "Perfect, tomorrow night it is." Says Rossi. Moments later, everybody is resting on the couch, exhausted from today. You look out the window at the dark cloudy sky as you think about what you had accomplished. You had caught your first unsub by trusting your gut. "This was the best feeling ever", you think to yourself as you slowly doze off.
