Previous to Emily leaving the BAU, and going to work for Interpol in London, the two of you had been together romantically, and although nobody else on the team knew about it, you'd both tried to keep in touch, and continue to be together as much as possible, despite the distance.

Tonight was one of those times; Morgan had just left, after being kidnapped and tortured within an inch of his life, and having a baby with his wife, Savannah, and you needed to be with Emily, to remind yourself that this was just another thing that could be worked through, and sorted.

Unbeknownst to you, Emily had been going through her own tough time, not that she'd willingly tell you about it, though; this wasn't your problem to fix. The problem being a case that was on her mind 24/7, about an UnSub who'd been mimicking crimes from other famous serial killers around the world; of which resulted in her persuading a DI to go undercover to try and catch him, which unfortunately backfired horribly.

Louise Hulland was dead, Emily witnessed it herself, and was now having nightmares about it; chasing after the UnSub through a warehouse, finding her bleeding out on a mattress, calling for help, and then being struck in the back of the head by him, before turning around and firing off a few shots at him, except they went through him?? Not even stopping for a second, he kept walking closer, and closer, toward her, knife in hand, about to kill her, until-

Emily bolted upright next to you, a loud "No!" falling from her lips, causing you to stir, pulling her knees to her chest, and hanging her head slightly.
