That was awesome! I can't believe she shot him in the back! Btw love the title, and Hotch could totally out shot Emily! Hope to see an update soon!

Super! Loved it!

I'm still smiling. You're chapter cuts/endings of oneshots always have the greatest cutoffs! They're never awkward and they never leave me with a feeling that I've been shorted a good story after I've read the summary. I love the banter between these two because it makes complete sense. You stay in character throughout to the point where I wouldn't be surprised if these characters were real people and you follow them around and write down everything that happens to them. You're amazing and this story was great!

Great story! I enjoyed it!

Nicely done, I loved Morgan's pay rise comment. I've read quite a bit of your writing now and love the little subtle bits that add to the story and the detail. Would love to see a shoot between these two and how that would roll up, and the reactions.

In my imagination Hotch would be the better shot, but hey the guy can do no wrong! But most definitely would be an interesting dynamic.

I loved this :]

great story! super funny!:)

That was beautiful. A true masterpiece!

Good job

what's a little bullet between friends'

Aww. :) this was a cute little story! :DD

You know, Emily. Shooting people is considered bad manners in most civilised societies. Not all of them, but most of them.

You should know this by now. It's rude even, plain rude to shoot people in the back. No gold stars for you Emily. Go sit on the naughty step and think about what you’ve done!

Maybe she's just mastered the art of passive aggressive shoot outs. (that made so much sense lalalalala) Maybe her arm is possessed. Maybe her glock has a burning vendetta against Hotch. I guess we may never know... Glock possession of the spiritual kind.

Okay, the brown carpeting sounds disgusting. Ew. I would not like to face plant into that under any circumstances, let alone with a bullet in my back... Well, on my back technically, if it embedded in the Kevlar, but you know what I mean.

Yes Hotch, I’m sure you're 100% after being shot in the back by Prentiss.

I want to hug him but I don't think that'd help the situation. And, you know, Prentiss' possessed glock may try to shoot me as well.

Purple Hotch. Awww, aubergine Hotch sounds... Odd. If i remembered the American name for the vegetable I’d say it but I don't… Hopefully you use Aubergine as the colour name too.

Awww, I can just see her holding a wad of paper towels to his head looking all meek. Keep calm Em, I’m sure not many people can claim the honour of shooting their boss. Hey, maybe you could relate to all the boss murdering unsubs now, think of the positives, you’ll now always be able to relate to them when trying to get them to talk in interrogation. Every cloud has a silver lining.

EMILY LET ME HUG YOU! I KNOW YOU SHOT HOTCH BUT I FORGIVE YOU! I'm sure he'll be fine Em, stay positive, he was wearing a vest! No permanent damage done.

'mustering' I’m going to pretend that my brain didn't jump straight to the word masturbate when i half glanced down at that word. It never happened. I think I need to wash my brain out with soap.

Awww, clueless Hotch is cute! If not slightly battered...

"I shot him and he fell and hit his head," Most people would probably beat around the bush when telling this kind of news. Not just casually throw it out there that they shot their boss in the back. But hey, that's her for you. But damn I wish I could've seen their faces then.

Mama JJ! I like mama JJ, I don't give a damn what anybody else says either.

Why am I not surprised that sir Hotch has found his clothes already, Mayhem style. I don't know why, he looked good in the hospital gown. Okay, I know exactly why, but I can maintain some sense of innocence can’t I?

I did wonder why you needed pictures of Kevlar bullet wounds.

Oregon. Stop sounding like a spice, it's annoying.

Hotch, stop that nasty flying habit of yours. If you could flap your arms and take off you would wouldn't you? Bad Hotch... Actually, would that hurt a concussion as much? Flying no plane involved. I mean, isn’t it cabin air pressure that means you’re not supposed to fly with head injuries? So theoretically if one was flying steadily upwards with no cabin to change air pressure suddenly, they could fly? If you forget humans can’t fly that is.

You go Em. If you shot him you should get to boss him around too... Wait, that's not right is it?

Morgan's a taddle tail. I really hate that phrase. It reminds me of tadpoles. And that makes me think that maybe Morgan has a tail. Which is just a very strange Image.

And, the images I now have in my brain of Hotch doing paperwork with an axe embedded in his skull are just… Morbidly amusing.

“I feel fine” Actually, from Hotch I could believe that. I mean, he recovered like he had super human powers when he was stabbed nine times, why not when he was shot in the back and hit his head? Him being a super hero is practically cannon.

‘Pretty colors’ Just imagining Hotch saying pretty colours puts me in a good mood.

I’ll just imagine hugging you to death right now Hotch, because I’m pretty sure the bear hug I’d jump on you with would be painful.

I’m trying to imagine what kind of lecture Strauss would give her. Maybe send her on an obligatory training course. Not shooting your boss 101? Or, how to shoot your boss and not get written up for it 101… Strauss would probably like him out of the way still. How about, How to hire and assassin 101?

It would make you feel better because the woman who shot you is currently unarmed Hotch.

Hotch, you’re being an irritating clueless male. Emily is currently trying to undress you in an elevator. Be excited! I mean, if you don’t untuck you shirt it will be more difficult for her to get her hand in your pants. Get with the programme Hotch.

A TIE EMERGENCY! TIE MAN IS TIELESS! I’m so sorry for your loss Hotch. God I hope it wasn’t the red tie. Hotch, maybe she wasn’t joking? Maybe she’s aware of your sordid affairs with those smooth, beautiful strips of fabric you have after hours in the office. Maybe she was genuinely concerned you’d lost your soul mate. Hotch/Tie OTP. It’s not her picking on you; it shows her devoted compassion for you. It shows she knows the pain of lost love. SHE SHIPS YOU WITH THE RED TIE DAMMIT LET HER ACCEPT YOUR INCONVENTIONAL RELATIOSHIP!

Awwwww, I love it when they take the piss out of each other! It’s adorable!

And Touché sounds fantastic.

Oh dear Hotch. Prentiss gave you a premature bald spot.

No Hotch. Possesed glock syndrome.

You know, I find it very interesting that of all the shooting feats Prentiss could have mentioned here, she brings up castration.

Oooh, I love it when they get all competitive. Or when someone jokingly tries to outdo Emily at anything. They all invariably end up needing that doctor for foot removal. I can actually see her trying to teach Hotch to shoot while on the range, the stereotypical male half spoons woman to help her with her shot is turned upside down when Prentiss does it to him instead!

My review is competing with the one shot length again... Oooops.

Not good at writing reviews but loved that story . 1 thing that I did notice about your stories is how much Emily cries but you never see her shed a tear on the show. I love reading your stuff I just think you take it to the extreme a bit that's all

Heehee! Maybe he shouldn't have been so mean to her when she first started with the team...

Oh, now I get why you were asking about bruises when wearing Kevlar...I was wondering.

Favorite lines:"Where is your tie, anyway?" "They lost it."

Hehehe, funny :D
