The team decided to go to a bar for some drinks after a difficult case. You noticed Elle drinking. She was definitely the drunkest out of everyone, but she knew how to cover it up. As the night went on, people started to go home for the night, which was when you noticed that Elle had left the group. You assumed nothing of it, thinking she'd just gone home, but when she didn't show up at work the next morning, your worry heightened.

You were about to call her, asking if she was too hungover to work, when Hotch pulled you in for a meeting. You ended up working all day, never finding a right time to call her and just assumed that she was hungover and resting, which was good, she needed rest, especially after her attack. She never rested anymore.

You left work and went to call Elle, but realised her location was on and she wasn't at home, but in the middle of the city. It was late, Elle was definitely not fit for being out this late, especially in her state. You drove quickly to reach her and as you drove around the city, your eyes landed on her. She was sitting on a bench, staring into space.

Elle must've heard your car engine, because her eyes darted upwards and she swallowed, looking guilty. She looked away from you, before calling to you, "{{user}}, what are you doing? I'm fine..."
