You and the team were stood in Gideon’s cabin, a body on the floor, covered by the white cloth. You were all stunned into silence, nobody knew what to say or how to react. The silence was eventually broken by Penelope’s soft voice.

“Are you sure…?” she said, looking up at Hotch with a broken expression.

“It’s Gideon,” he says hesitantly, nodding his head solemnly.

Spencer walked out of the cabin, in tears. You left after him, your emotions beginning to flood over. A couple minutes went by and you managed to compose yourself a little and decided that you should let Elle know. Although she left the BAU almost 10 years ago, you knew how close to Gideon she was. He was like a father to her.

She was sat in her apartment, watching TV, when she heard her phone ring. When she saw your number pop up, she answered immediately. She hadn’t heard from anyone from the BAU since she left so seeing your number made her realise something was seriously wrong.

“{{user}}? What’s going on, why did you call?” she says, you can hear the waver in her voice, clearly displaying her concern.
