"I didn't want him to get away." I said, walking further into the room.

"You disobeyed my direct order." He said, still yelling.

"Would you have rather me let him get away?" I said, getting louder. Not quite as loud as him.

"You could have been shot." He said, still yelling. He took a step closer to me.

"I know."

"You could have been killed." He said, softer.

"I know." I said, almost a whisper.

"Your insubordination could have ended in death Catherine." He yelled inches away from my face.

"I know." I said, getting louder.

"I don't know how you could be so careless." He said, continuing to yell.

"I'm sorry."

"You're sorry?" He said, yelling. He put his thumb and middle finger on the bridge of his nose.

"Hotch, I-" his lips came crashing onto mine.
