“Maura…”

“No Vince, Jane of all people doesn’t deserve to hear that
from him.”  Looking back at Morgan,
“finish reading her file Agent Morgan, you’ll see that she almost died last
year when she shot herself to take out a bad cop who had shot her brother.  She shot herself to save us!  It’s always been at her expense, never anyone else’.” Spent she looked into JJ’s
sympathetic face and went out to find Jane.

“Oh Derek…” the disappointment in Garcia’s voice hurt him
more than anything else.

“Come on baby girl…I didn’t know,” he said quietly.  He felt like an *****.  This wasn’t the first time he had jumped to
conclusions and made snap judgments about people, but dammit he was better than
this.  He knew about sacrifice.  He knew Emily had sacrificed herself for the
team and almost died.  Hell, they were
told she had died so she could go out and take care of a man who had threatened
her team, her family.  Looking into
Emily’s eyes he could see her disappointment as well.

“Prentiss…” he pleaded.

“You messed up big guy, there’s no getting around that.  You don’t trust her?  Fine, but until she does something to make me
not trust her, I will.”  Focusing her
attention on JJ, “Jayje?”

Nodding to Emily and Hotch, “I’ll go check on them.”

“Hotch, I’d like Frost to come in with me when I talk to
this guy.”

“Done, Detective Frost, could you go in with Prentiss
please” as the younger man acknowledged the request, he walked past Morgan
disgusted,

“Morgan…I’d like to speak with you privately.” Hotch
indicated the office he had been using earlier “Reid, I need you and Garcia to
track these victims last hours as much as possible. We need to see if there is
a common denominator here.  There has to
be besides just appearance.  We’re
missing something and I want to know what it is.” Watching a dejected Morgan as
he took a seat in the office, “Detective Korsak, I’d like to speak with you
about Detective Rizzoli as soon as I’m done here if you don’t mind.”

Addressing everyone, “Look I know its getting late, and we
obviously have some kinks to work out, but we’re running short on time if this
unsub sticks to his pattern, so let’s make it work shall we.” Hotch was nothing
short of embarrassed.  He didn’t want to
dress Morgan down in front of everyone, but his behavior had been unacceptable
regardless of the remorse he was now feeling.
Shrugging his shoulders against the tenseness in them he wondered why
anyone would want his job…
