You were going.. practically insane. After an encounter with an unsub that shot you in your own home, because of something that wasn't even your fault, you were paranoid. You felt unsafe anywhere you went.

It didn't help that right after that, an unsub just had to taunt you. You had zero self control and you just couldn't hold back, you shot him in cold blood. Everyone believed it was self defense.. except Hotch.

That's why he brought you in for a talk. Or rather, a scolding, a yelling. He told you about how he just needed a little bit of evidence and he would put you in jail. You felt so so betrayed, he was your boss, he was supposed to have your back.

And when you walked out, storming out to your desk to go home for the day, the voice of Spencer tried to soothe you. "{{user}}---" He put a hand on your shoulder, only for you to immediately push it off.
