Summary
“Gotta call for a tow. This old girl is toast.”
Hotch’s phone is broken.
Not just broken. Obliterated. It had been in his pocket during the blast and shattered on impact, he’s got a slice on his upper thigh from the broken screen. Derek pulls his out and frowns.
“Of course. No service. I’m gonna take a little walk, shouldn’t be too far. Just sit tight.” Derek starts walking right away, doesn’t even wait for Hotch’s response but he can hear uneven footsteps behind him. Limping, he’s limping and he won’t stop. “Hotch. Come on. Just wait here.”
Hotch scowls and it looks a little scarier with all the bruises and cuts on his face. Derek stops long enough just to lock eyes with him. “The last time you disappeared you drove an ambulance rigged to explode into Central Park.”
“Ahh, very funny. Good one. Thought I was gonna have to wait a year for you to pull that one outta your pocket. Feel better now?”

Summary
Hotch’s first year at the BAU was rougher than he could have ever anticipated, especially dealing with the bruising criticism from Jason Gideon. The brightest part, of course, is the evolution of his personal relationship with Reid and the revelation that Hotch’s crush is mutual.
The Team’s AL is interrupted by an UnSub who puts them on a quest to save a girl. When the team doesn’t adhere to the UnSub’s rules, the UnSub extracts a brutal price.
