New York, home. We all were gathered to discuss our latest case there. This one was big, Hotch was the one to take it, personally. It was the 5 shootings that happened within the week. His friend from the New York Field office called him about and wanted our help.

We made our way to the place, people were running around and taking calls. A woman with blonde hair strutted up to us. My eyes widen and my mouth dropped.

"Is it just me Or does she look Exactly like Haley?" JJ whispers to Penelope and me. A spitting image I had to say. Why was this creepy? No worries on the plane Hotch said, 'good friend'. I see he's got a type.

"Kate."

"Aaron." Me and Emily tried to hid our smirks. The tension im telling you. How does nobody but us four got it as soon as we stepped foot in here? "How have you been?"

"Well, thank you. This is my team. Kate Joyner, This is David Rossi, Emily Prentiss, Jennifer Jareau, Penelope Garcia, Hazel Santos, Derek Morgan, And Spencer Reid." We all nodded and smiled softly at her.

"Thanks for being here. Anything that you need, Just tell me. Please don't stand On protocol." Joyner said with her thick British accent. British people are lucky, they got that nice accent. They sound smart.

"What can you tell us About the city's Surveillance system?" Penelope spits out.

"Um, it's run by the NYPD. It's still In the infant stages. It's been rather Controversial. American privacy laws. Um, but they've had Some success."

"And I'll have complete access?"

"They're already expecting you. Shelly?" The woman by Joyner's side took Penelope away.

"I'd like to get A map of the borough. I want to do a comprehensive Geographical profile of the area In order to ascertain The unsub's mental map Before it's clouded by Our own linkage blindness."

"I see you brought Your own computer." One older man comes up and scuffs. He looks at me. "Great, we got a pregnant one, great to slow us down more than we already are." I backed up a bit. What was his problem?

"Detectives brustin And cooper. I'll let you do The introductions."

"You caught The first shooting?" I asked the slightly younger man.

"They've all been In different precincts. It wasn't until The third murder That anyone even made The connection."

"I guess this is where we play nice and ask you what you need." I don't care how old this man is, I will fight him. Joyner laughs to cut the tension.

"I'll let you all Figure out what that is. I just ask that you run Everything back through me. It's been my experience That having one butt On the line is enough."

"Yes, ma'am." The older man scuffs.

"Can I have a word With you in private?" Joyner leans to Hotchner. Emily and I shared a look. Come on, there's something. Both of them left us and head to her office.

"They, um... Liaised when she was At Scotland yard." Emily leans to JJ.

"Of course."

"They definitely laid-ised once before." Emily playfully shoves me and I put my bag on the desk. I had this sharp pain on my side. I winced but it stopped.

"You alright?" Morgan comes up to me, holding me up.

"Im fine. The twins are moving around." I crinkled my nose. "Just getting ready, two more weeks."

"You don't want me to take you to the hospital? Call Luke?" I shook my head. Throwing my head back as the pain inside started up again. "At least what you can do for me is to sit down." Morgan pulls up a chair, gently helping me. "The last thing I want is Luke to call me and start saying why you're not sitting down." I laughed.

"You're fine. Luke is in Texas now, he'll be home tomorrow. Plus, if anything happens, call my sister Andrea. She's here in New York." I looked at Morgan as I wrote down her number. "Thank you guapo."

"Sure thing Bambi."

Another shooting happen. Same thing, shot in broad daylight, no witnesses. I sat there in front of the computer, looking through the latest one. I saw how different the unsub was, this one ran but the other one from the train station didn't even blink or jump, we're probably looking at two unsubs.

"What have we got?" Hotch said as he came from the scene, hovering over me. We all agreed upon that it was two unsubs due to the height. They weren't gang members or working in teams.

"I think we should get out on the streets." Morgan put out there.

"I brought you here to create a profile." Joyner tells him.

"Which we can give In the morning, And then they can share it With the afternoon shift." I didn't like where this was going.

"We've allocated every extra man we have. This is new york city. It's not like a few More people Is going to blanket The city."

"I understand it's a long shot, But these guys, They hit at mid-day. We could target ingress And egress to particular Neighborhoods. Position us near Express stops- 14th, 42nd, 59th-"

"Morgan." Hotch stops him. Morgan was right, we need to be out there hitting those streets so they won't slip through our fingers. "It's not your call." With that, damn, the room got hot.

—

This was tiring and I just need to crash. Reid, JJ, Emily, Hotch and I headed to the hotel. I had called Andrea to meet me here to spend some time, since its been a while. Her whole ADA thing going on. She was already at the room since the judge called it done for the day and is now doing her statements and wants me to be her witness to practice.

"Look at this." Emily picks up the newspaper. "Late edition doesn't Miss a beat." Wonderful, scare more people why don't you.

"JJ." Spencer said, we all looked up to see Will, once again in our presence.

"Will."

"Took a shot and flew to DC., But that didn't work out. I figured a train ride To new york was only A few more hours." He smiles as he came up to us.

"Detective." Hotch reaches out to shake his hand.

"I'm sorry for Showing up like this. I know you're working. But, um... I can't stand you Being on this case And me not being there. Not with what's going on." I frowned. What's going on?

"Is there a problem?" JJ slightly smiles and turns to us.

"I'm pregnant." Emily and I shirked with joy.

"Oh, my god!" Emily hugs her.

"JJ! Congratulations!" I went after her, swaying her side to side.

"I've asked JJ to marry me." JJ and Will, look at you, having a kid and getting married.

"Will." JJ was getting embarrassed from the attention.

"We're working out Some kinks."

"We'll, uh, give you Both some privacy." We waved goodbye to Will, congratulating them again. I saw Morgan in the bar, twirling his finger around his glass. I made My way to him. I coughed as I stood next to him.

"I know. I was out of line." He surrendered.

"You got emotionally involved. I know the feeling." I patted his back.

"I just felt like Hotch was taking her side."

"Come on Derek, from whats going on here, theres no sides."

"I know." He sighs.

"A little birdie told me that they have an eye on you If Joyner doesn't stop this." He looks at me. "People talk. But if she were to get fired, It would be because we didn't solve this case." I bobbed my head, now taking a seat with him.

"Hazel, I hope you're not saying You think I want her to fail."

"Of course not." I gasped. "But I've never seen you Push a superior like that before. Made me shiver." I laughed. I looked at him again, placing my head on my arm. "So would you take the job?"

"I don't know. It might be nice to finally be the one making the calls." He looks at the painting on the wall.

"And dealing with the politics of running a field office? That doesn't seem like you."

"BAU wears people out, Hazel. Look at Gideon. That man was the best, And in the end, He simply ran away. I mean, Hotch hasn't even thought about cracking a smile In over a year. That man has to take A personal day Just so he can have A conversation With his own kid. What about you? What's gonna happen with you and Luke and the twins if you get too involved in this job?" It was something I've been pushing and voiding. I hope that I don't get carried away, break my relationship with Luke or with my kids.

"I get it. Here, I'll make you a deal. If I see you're losing it, I'll put your papers in right there and right away." We both chuckled. "But right now, I see someone who wants to get back on the job. Or is there another reason why you haven't even touched that beer?" I hopped down from the stool. "Now excuse me, I have a sister waiting for me to practice her ending statements."

"Your sister single?" Morgan smiles as I patted his shoulder.

"Not a chance Morgan." I headed away to my room. Andrea was already practicing. "What the hell?" I said as the bed was covered with paper.

"Sorry, Casey Novak is on my ass and if I don't win this case, she'll be haunting mine for the rest of my career."

"Good to see you Andrea." I tossed my bag to the side and picked up some papers.

"Okay, so I'm saying this..." she clears her throat. "The defense may have said some things that pulled your attention. This man, raped, and killed-"

"Woah! Woah!" I stopped her.

"What!"

"You can't lead with that!" I stood up as I grabbed my PJs from my bag. "You need something better than that."

"What about this..." I brushed my teeth and rinsed my mouth. "Kayla Smithers died defending her life. Not only she trusted him-" I groan in pain. These twins will be the death of me. "You good? Are the twins coming? Want me to call mom and dad? What about Luke and Gerardo?"

"It's all good Andrea, I'm fine. They're setting up for the week, they been moving a lot. It's normal." I sat on the bed, crossing my legs, and started listening to Andrea's statements again.

We started coming up with an idea to see how we can catch these guys. They have been looking at us since day one and hacking into the cameras that happened in the crime scenes. This new shooter shot Cooper and we knew from Emily? This was going to be an attack. A bad one.

"I'm gonna head To the hospital. I'll check on cooper And brief detective burstin." Emily said as she grabbed her jacket and left.

"Good. Dave, Hazel, you go talk to the commissioner, And, Morgan, you brief Homeland security." Hotch commands and Rossi helps me up from my chair and headed to talk to the commissioner. Rossi and I hopped into the SUV, texting Andrea I wasn't going to be there for dinner.
