Chapter one

Garcia walked into Hotch's office and said "I found a case that needs our attention as soon as possible. Here is the case file." Garcia then hands the case file to Hotch who flipped through it "call everyone to the conference room to give the details of the case." Garcia nodded "yes sir." Garcia walked out of the office and into the bullpen and yelled "we have a case, conference room now to go over details." At that Emily, JJ, and Morgan all groaned, Reid just walked up to the conference. JJ walked up with Emily "Man, I was going to spend the weekend with Will. We were finally going to have some alone time. I hate to call him and tell him to cancel plans, but I have to." Emily nodded and kept walking up the steps "yeah I know I was going to visit an old friend who is stateside again this weekend, she was only going to be here for a week." Morgan who was right behind them said "oh that sucks. My date plans got ruined." Emily snorted "what girl would want to date you?" JJ burst into laughter and quickly sobered up and walked into the conference room.

As soon as these three sat down and Rossi joined them they each got their case files and started to flip through it, they discovered that their case was in Jacksonville, North Carolina, as Garcia brought up picture of the victims who were women in their mid-30's, dark brown hair, and white. Garcia then said "next to each victim the police found this saying "He who throws dirt is losing ground." They cannot figure out what it means. Also these women were abducted four days prior to their bodies being found and they had another abduction last night. This woman would be the fifth victim." After seeing the pictures of the women almost everybody sneaked looks to Emily. Emily noticed them doing this "guys don't worry about it. I know they look like me but that doesn't mean a thing." The team then exchanged looks between each other and Emily tried once more "guys don't change how we work the case just because of this fact. It doesn't matter." Each member of the team still seemed worried. Emily rolled her eyes at that. She turned back to the case file and she could still feel someone staring at her and when she looked up she saw Hotch looking back at her and as soon as she caught his eye head looked back down at the case file. A thought ran through her head but she shook it away.

Hotch had so many different thoughts running through his head one was Emily cannot be hurt during this case I won't let her. After Garcia finished giving the facts about the case he addressed the team "wheels up in thirty minutes." After he had said that everyone headed out of the room except for Emily who was still looking at the pictures. Hotch walked over to her "you going to be able to work this case Prentiss?" Emily nodded "yes Hotch I'm sure. But as you can see they look exactly like me. If it comes to it are you going to use me as bait?" Hotch was taken back at that and shook his head "I do not plan as using you as bait but if it comes to that I would not force you to be bait." Emily nodded and stood up "thanks Hotch see you on the plane in twenty." Hotch nodded to her and then Emily turned `and walked out the door. Hotch walked out a minute later and headed to his office.

As Hotch was in his office Dave walked in and said "you going to be able to make the hard decisions on this case?" Hotch looked up from what he was doing at his desk "I don't know what you're talking about Dave." Dave laughed "yeah I bet you don't. But I have seen the way you've looked at her since you broke up with Beth." Hotch glared at Dave "I didn't tell you about the break up so you could profile me. Why are you profiling me about my feelings for Emily anyways?" Dave stared at Hotch "do you really not know how you feel about her or are you just playing games with me?" Hotch shook his head, looked back down at his desk and then back at Dave "I don't know Dave. I really don't. Anyways it's time to go to the plane." Dave shook his head as Hotch gave his go bag and pushed past Dave to head out of his office and to the plane. As Dave watched Hotch walk away he thought he cares for her more than he realizes he just has to realize it himself. Dave then looked down at the bullpen and saw Emily, JJ, Reid, and Morgan standing around Reid's desk with their go bags in their hands and them laughing at something that was said. He smiled he saw Emily look at Hotch as he passed them. Huh apparently Emily likes Hotch too. Wonder if he knows this. Dave then looked at JJ and Dave wondered if Hotch was the only one denying his feelings for a co-worker. Dave shook his head at and decided to head to the plane to clear his head before everyone will be getting to the plane in about fifteen minutes.

As Dave reached the plane he started thinking what are me and Hotch going to do about our feelings and what are we going to do about the case and how all the victims look like Emily. Hotch must be going crazy. Dave got on the plane and saw that Hotch was looking at the case files. When Dave sat down across from him Hotch looked up "I know Dave we need to be careful with this case." Dave nodded and just then everyone else got on the plane and sat down. Emily sat next to Hotch while JJ sat next to Dave. Dave almost groan these girls are going to kill me and Aaron.
