Chapter 257 Mom is not at home tonight
"Huh?" Jiejie and Jack were both very confused.
"The bureau's rules do not allow employees to date each other. I'm done." Garcia's face was filled with nervousness.
Jiejie looked at each other with Jack with a guilty conscience, and said with relief, "As far as I know, Rosie himself was the reason why the bureau established these rules in the first place, so he won't make any noise about it and relax."
Jack has heard about this, and it is said that to this day, several female executives in the FBI have extremely bad relationships with each other because of Rosie.
"Wait, why did Rosie go to your house?" Jack finally noticed the important point.
"I don't want to mention this anymore." Garcia became a little frustrated.
"I was naked, dripping, and just wearing a bathrobe. Oh my god, it was a nightmare."
Suddenly an idea flashed in Jack's mind, "Let me guess, Rosie asked you to help him investigate a case in private?"
Garcia covered her mouth in surprise, "I didn't say anything. Jiejie, you can testify. Rossi said he wanted just the two of us to know about this."
"Let me guess, Rosie didn't come early this morning."
Before Jack finished speaking, Emily suddenly knocked on the door and came in, "Why are you all here? Hey, guys, something is not right."
Several people followed Emily to Rossi's office. The door was open, the table was in a mess, and many documents fell to the floor.
"What happened?" Reid and Hotchner also came over, looking surprised when they saw the scene in the office.
In everyone's impression, Rossi is a polite, cautious person who is extremely picky and meticulous about details. The scene in front of him is not like what he would do.
"Who can tell me what happened?" Hotchner looked a little irritable for some reason and his hair was messy. This scene also surprised everyone. This old-fashioned guy was always meticulous about his appearance.
"I think Garcia may know. She said that Rosie went to her house last night." As soon as Jiejie finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Garcia who was a little overwhelmed.
"Garcia?" Hotchner's voice rose slightly, which frightened Garcia so much that he poured out the bamboo tube like beans.
"He went to Indianapolis to investigate a double murder case from 20 years ago. He looked very anxious and talked about how the murderer should pay."
"We should help him." Emily said anxiously.
"But he didn't ask anyone for help." Rhett hesitated. In European and American culture, sometimes being too enthusiastic can arouse resentment from others.
"This is his silent cry for help. He has collapsed. Did you hear his desperate cry?" Emily wanted to hit Rhett on the head hard.
Jiejie arched her beautiful eyebrows and said, "The plane is on standby at any time."
"Then let's go." Hotchner was about to turn around when he was stopped by Jack.
"It's us, not you."
Hotchner glared at Jack angrily, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course you're still wearing yesterday's shirt, your hair is uncombed, and your beard is unshaven. That's not something you can explain with a noisy baby. We already have a boss who's probably having a meltdown, two? Come on!"
Hotchner stood there blankly, and everyone looked at the two of them with some worry. Jiejie was the first to take a step forward and stand behind Jack.
"I think Jack is right. Maybe you think like Rosie that you don't need our help, but it's obvious that you are already standing on the edge of the cliff."
"Oh, come on, we thought we were going to be a family, but it turns out we're just rejected teenagers and our parents are leaving us."
Emily's words made everyone laugh. This was a joke that everyone made in private. If the team was compared to a family, then Hotchner, who had a straight face all day long, would play the role of a strict father.
And Rosie, who always pays attention to everyone's emotions and comforts the uneasy, is naturally a loving "mother".
"Well, it wasn't me, it was my wife Hallie. She had an emotional breakdown and we had a big fight last night and she tried to take Jack away from me." Hotchner's newborn son was also named Jack.
"Oh my god, what happened between you?" Emily covered her mouth in surprise.
Hotchner and his wife Hallie are recognized as a model couple. They are all professionals. The real relationship between a couple can be understood after a few contacts.
"I don't know. Everything was fine before. Rosie helped me take on a lot of work, so that I could go home from nine to five every day to take care of my children. Even if she was on a business trip before, she didn't complain. Suddenly..."
Hotchner was a little annoyed.
"Have you not considered the possibility of postpartum depression?" Reid asked.
Hotchner's expression froze, with some uncertainty and hesitation, "But we did the 'EPDS' (Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale) six weeks after delivery, and there were no major problems except slight anxiety."
"A small number of pregnant women will only develop depression tendencies 3 months after delivery, usually due to cessation of breastfeeding or endocrine reasons. It is recommended that you give her a 'BDI' (Beck Depression Inventory), or go to the hospital to have her hormone levels tested. .”
Rhett spoke plausibly and entered the all-encompassing encyclopedia mode.
Hotchner's specialty lies in interrogation and negotiation, which obviously touches on his blind spot of knowledge. He looked at everyone blankly and saw everyone nodding, feeling a little dazed.
"Typical doctors don't treat themselves. You and your wife should see a psychiatrist together." Jack said and handed Maureen's business card.
"This is my psychology professor, the best psychiatrist in Los Angeles. You'd better go home now and leave it to us in Rosie."
Seeing that Hotchner was still hesitating, Jack put the business card directly into his hand.
"What are you still hesitating about? Harley is such a gentle and beautiful wife. Do you really want her to leave you?"
Rossi helped Hotchner take on a lot of administrative work, but he turned around and left it all to himself. Jack had done so much paperwork, how could he watch Hotchner's wife and children break up like in the original plot? Then I didn't pay in vain.
"Let's go!" Leaving Hotchner with a complicated expression behind, Jack waved his hand, humming the tune of "Freaks" loudly, and led everyone out of the office.
"What is he singing?" Rhett was a little confused. He never paid attention to any online pop culture.
"Mom's not at home tonight, isn't she? Haven't you heard?" Emily's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Never, that tune sounds weird." Rhett shrugged.
Emily's expression froze for a moment, and then she waved her hands dejectedly, "Pretend I didn't say anything."
I have been drinking too much lately and am not feeling well. I slept for more than 20 hours yesterday and today, and my brain is still groggy, so I decided to quit smoking today.
