Nov. 8th, 2015 11:29 pmHah! Now I can go read ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
thedeadcat's new fic/chapter.
Criminal Minds/Stargate SG-1: Children of Fire
(I may have figured out how to keep the incipient plot hole from forming! \o/ Changing POVs on the scene, while taking out an entire damned conversation, may have helped.)
"We got all the kids back safe. Think about it, Aaron. How often does that happen?"
"Not often enough." Aaron glances over at Dave, seeing the smile, and the faint hint of gold that has a tendency to be present when Tages shares Dave's mood. It makes him want to smile back, and he takes a step ahead, reaching for the call button to the elevator when the doors open.
Strauss is there, with Major Davis, and a pair of MPs. It's the latter that have Aaron stepping between them and Dave, listening to the rest of the team approaching from the hall. They'll make sure there is a way out, though Aaron isn't sure Dave will take it.
"Agent Hotchner. Agent Rossi."
Strauss is visibly uncomfortable, and Aaron frowns, keeping his hand away from his gun. He has no reason that anyone outside the team knows to need a weapon drawn, and he doesn't want to spook the men with Strauss.
"Agent Rossi, I'm afraid I need to ask you for your badge and your service weapon."
"What is this about?" Aaron doesn't move, not willing to let this go easily. He will do whatever it takes to protect his team, and that includes Tages, from anything that isn't a consequence of a crime.
Strauss shakes her head, unable to tell him, or not allowed, Aaron isn't certain, but neither is a good sign.
"It's all right, Aaron." Dave rests a hand on his shoulder a moment, effectively keeping him from interfering as he steps out of the protective circle of the team. "Just do me a favor, would you? Let Carolyn know I won't be able to make our date tonight?"
