There are so many people in the BAU group that Hodge has a family, and since he has a break tomorrow, he doesn't stop his colleagues from going to play at night. But he had to go home to spend time with his wife and children, so he went back alone.

In the evening, Winnie saw two unexpected people at the bar. One was Garcia, who had been driving all the way by getting the news early, and Winnie was seeing her for the first time. And then there's Sarah, who was invited by Gideon.

Sarah was supposed to be introduced to Gideon's colleagues for the first time and seemed happy. She didn't even drive the car, Gideon drove to pick it up.

The dynamic music "moved and hit" sounded, and Morgan was invited to the dance floor by the sexy girl with a little wine on his lips. He skillfully twisted his strong body, and this handsome dark-skinned guy looked particularly masculine. After a while, he was surrounded by a few sexy babes.

"Are you here for the first time?" It was so noisy that Emily had to raise her voice.

Winnie smiled and looked very excited: "Yes! ”

When I was in school, how could I have time to touch entertainment venues? There are so many living expenses every month, and you have to struggle for half a day to order a takeaway dessert. Later, when I went to Infinity Games, I didn't have a chance. So, this is Winnie's first time in this kind of place, and the excitement is pretended, but I also think it's quite interesting.

"Hi, I'm Penelope Garcia and we've finally met." Garcia, who looked particularly kind, held out his hand to Winnie.

Winnie also reached out to shake her hand, "I'm Winnie Green, it's nice to meet you!" ”

These big sisters in the workplace are unexpectedly easy to get along with, and I don't know if it's because of Rhett, who is particularly friendly to Winnie.

"Hey, you're Gideon's girlfriend's neighbor?" Garcia leaned over and showed gossip on his face, and JJ and Emily had the same look on their faces.

They turned their heads in unison to look into a corner, and saw Sarah and Gideon sitting together, their distance and demeanor looking intimate.

"I asked." Winnie wrinkled her nose and said strangely, "But Sarah said they were just old classmates." ”

Garcia bit the straw, squinted at the two over there, and commented twice in his mouth: "Old classmates? I don't see it. ”

Not like indeed.

Emily speculated, "Maybe it's because Gideon hasn't confessed yet?" You know, they're not like young people at this age, and they confess when they feel right. They have too much to think about. "They are all divorced people, so they will naturally be more cautious about their second marriage.

"Oh~" Garcia sighed affectionately: "Now Gideon is a volcano that is about to erupt!" When his love can't be suppressed, we can go to the wedding. ”

Red choked on the "erupting volcano" and coughed incessantly.

The four women were attracted by the coughing sound and turned to look at Rhett again. Garcia looked at him with pity and said, "Oh, poor Red, aren't you still used to drinking?" ”

Winnie listened, looked at the low-alcohol fruit wine in her hand, and showed a look of surprise.

"Alcohol can cause damage to brain cells, and I don't drink unless I have to. ”

"It's good not to drink." Winnie said.

There are very few boys who don't smoke or drink,

Red seems to be one of them.

JJ raised his eyebrows and deliberately mentioned, "Why didn't you sit here today and didn't do magic?" ”

In the past, when they came to the bar, everyone else was either drinking or dancing, but Red would find a place to sit and perform magic tricks surrounded by women.

Not knowing how they used to come to the bar for fun, Winnie asked curiously, "What magic?" ”

Looking at her curious gaze, the other three women took a sip of wine with a straw in their glasses, and their eyes were full of smiles.

When Winnie saw that they didn't say anything, she looked at Red.

Red looked back at Winnie with some embarrassment, and was embarrassed to say that he used to use magic to attract girls' attention. What if Winnie misunderstands that he has a lot of thoughts?

Seeing that Red was in trouble, Garcia slowly stood up and said, "I'll go to the bathroom." After saying that, he exchanged glances with the other two and left.

JJ and Emily also stood up with a smile in their hands: "Let's go relax on the dance floor." After saying that, they also left together.

Winnie looked at their departing backs, and her gaze on Red was a little suspicious.

Winnie: Staring—

Red:......

Helplessly, he reached into his pocket and said, "It's just a little magic." ”

As he spoke, he took out a coin from his pocket and showed it to Winnie, then pinched it and brought it to Winnie, and said nervously, "You blow on it." ”

Winnie probably knew what he was going to perform, it was a very common magic trick after all, but she still blew on the coin very cooperatively.

Red stared at her pink lips, and as the warm air blew on his fingers, he almost didn't squeeze the coin to make it fall. He had performed this magic many times, but he had never felt it, his heart was pounding, and his face was slightly hot.

"Ahem." He cleared his throat, then continued the movement of his hand, took the coin back in his hand, snapped his fingers, and then spread it out in his hand, and the coin was gone.

"You can look for it."

In fact, Winnie had already felt it, but still pretended not to know and rummaged around.

Seeing that she hadn't found it, Red smiled a little smugly, and he reached out to Winnie and pulled out a small flower behind her ear.

Winnie took the little flower, raised her eyebrows, and said, "You often perform magic tricks for other people in the bar?" ”

This magic trick can't be shown to men, so this guy in front of her is not as innocent and innocent as she thought.

Red froze when he heard Winnie's words, and couldn't lie, and nodded a little apprehensively.

"I'll just put on a show, and I don't do anything else." Red hurriedly explained.

Seeing that he was so nervous, Winnie was also interested in bullying him, so she deliberately crossed her arms with her hands and posed as a questioning look, "You didn't receive contact information, did you?" ”

Red looked at her even more nervously, if the lights were brighter, the little agent would have seen that there was no anger in Winnie's eyes.

"I haven't been in touch once!" Rhett affirmatively assures.

Speaking of this, he remembered that in the drawer under the desk, there were still items with lip prints of a popular female star, and the kissing gossip magazine was also lying in it.

Oh, my God!

Red decides to throw them all away when he gets back to work!

I was a little panicked, but Rhett was still a little aggrieved after assuring: "I asked you for more numbers." "There are so many boys around her.

Winnie picked up her glass and shook it, and said happily, "This is the privilege of a beautiful woman." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a man came over with a wine glass and accosted Winnie.

…

It didn't take long for the three of them who had danced enough to come back with a short breath, and Garcia reached out and fanned his cheek: "Aren't you going to dance?" As she spoke, she looked at Morgan, who was still on the dance floor, and said, "Look at the handsome chocolate guy, he has endless energy!" He smehers all the women! ”

JJ and Emily are drinking, their eyes wandering over Winnie and Red's faces. In fact, when they went to dance, they also paid attention to the movement here, and also saw Red perform magic tricks and be accosted with Winnie.

Winnie blinked, "I can't jump." ”

"It's simple, I can teach you." Garcia winked at Winnie, then got up and pulled Winnie to the dance floor.

Seeing Winnie gone, Emily leaned over and asked Red, "How were you talking?" Got a Christmas date? Did her preferences ask? ”

But looking at his expression, I'm afraid that not a single task has been completed.

Faced with the hateful gaze of these two female colleagues, Rhett forced himself to make an excuse: "I just planned to ask on the phone." In fact, he had been brewing for a long time, but in the end he still didn't ask.

He's not a fun person, what if dating him is boring and awkward?

He can only think of the movie theater on a date, but in fact, he wants to take Winnie to the library, share his favorite books with her, and then find a place to read books together. But Red could tell that Winnie wasn't the kind of girl who liked to read.

So, under all the scruples, Red hasn't been able to say it yet.

Emily: "......"

JJ：“……”

The two looked at each other and silently turned away with their cups.

Red frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

/>

It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel tired and don't know what to say.

They were afraid that he would be shy and deliberately hid and jumped for a long time, but they were all blind.

…

They won't be able to go back to Quantico tonight.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gideon prepared to send Sarah back, and by the way, he called Winnie, who lived opposite.

The group put on their coats and walked outside to be blown by the cold wind, and they couldn't help but shiver.

"Where do you go for the night? Will you leave tomorrow? Winnie asked them.

"We've booked a hotel." Garcia said and took out the key card from his bag and shook it, "We'll go back to Quantico tomorrow morning, and you can come and play with us when you have a holiday." ”

Gideon was fast enough to get the car over. Sarah opened the co-pilot's door and sat down, fastening her seatbelt and saying to Winnie outside, "You can go drive too, let's go on the road together." ”

"Okay." Winnie said goodbye to the rest of BAU: "Then I'll go back." ”

JJ smiled: "Be careful on the road." He glanced at Red.

Morgan: "Good night, girl. After speaking, he looked at Red, and raised his chin vaguely in Winnie's direction.

Emily walked past Rhett and nudged quietly

He paused, "See you next time." ”

Rhett, who had been pushed two steps, met Winnie's inquiring gaze, and he looked back at Emily in confusion. In Morgan's eyes watching the play, he stumbled for a moment before he extended an invitation to Winnie: "I will take a leave of absence for Christmas, can I invite you to go to the movies with me that day?" ”

Gideon and Sarah, who were sitting in the car, both looked at each other, and Sarah glared at Gideon and asked Gideon silently: Your teammates are chasing Winnie?!

Gideon pursed his lips and smiled, shrugging his shoulders: Young man.

Under the gaze of everyone, Winnie nodded slightly as if she was a little embarrassed: "Okay." ”

Rhett suddenly forgot about Morgan's gaze, and said happily, "I'll prepare a good gift!" ”

Emily and they stood together, and Garcia covered her heart and sighed emotionally: "Love is so beautiful." ”

JJ gave Emily a thumbs up, and Emily smiled and raised an eyebrow.

……

Today was the day Kate was discharged from the hospital, and John got up early in the morning to clean up his haggard and unshaven face and drove to the hospital.

Since Kate's car was crashed, it was up to him to pick it up today. On the way, John originally wanted to buy a bouquet of red roses, but after seeing the white roses in the pot next to him, he humbly asked the clerk to wrap a bouquet to celebrate his discharge from the hospital.

While paying, he noticed a newspaper on the counter, and Esther's face was clearly visible. Thinking of the erotic/erotic portrait on the wall of the studio, John turned his head with an ugly face.

Kate still has a cast on her arm, and thanks to TV news and print reports, the doctors and nurses in the hospital and even the patient's family know about the Coleman family's plight, sympathize with their mother and daughter, and help with things like packing their bags.

The room door was pushed open, and John came in with a bouquet of flowers on his face. After exchanging a light kiss with the little daughter who rushed over, he walked up to Kate to give her a hug, but Kate avoided her.

John's expression froze for a moment, and he whispered, "I'm sorry Kate, I apologize for the previous mistake." ”

Kate looked at the man indifferently: "Not everything deserves to be forgiven, if there was no FBI investigation, you would not have come to pick us up and discharge us, but sent me to a mental hospital, right?" ”

John took a deep breath, he looked back at the do-gooder who was standing at the door of the ward and looked inside, and whispered, "Let's go home." As he spoke, he was about to carry his luggage, but was blocked by Kate again.

"Don't mess with Kate in the ward." John put on a begging face for mercy, as if he was weak and as if he was blaming Kate for being vexatious.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of her hands, Kate really wanted to give this man a big slap: "Didn't you talk quite loudly here before?" Kate looked at him mockingly, "I thought we had come to an agreement, John, don't make me look down on you even more." ”

"That's all a misunderstanding!" John put the bouquet aside and paced back and forth in a frenzied manner: "She looks like a well-behaved child!" How do I know she's a murderer?! ”

"You are quick to accept that your wife is a 'madman'." The voice of an elderly man outside the hospital room came as Kate's father walked in with a straight face, picked up his granddaughters, and then picked up their luggage.

Kate's mother touched her daughter's cheek in distress and said with tears in her eyes, "Why didn't you tell us?" If I hadn't seen the news, your dad and I wouldn't have known. ”

Kate look

After seeing her parents, her nose was uncontrollably sore, even though she was already a mother, but in front of them, she still wanted to cry for the grievances she received.

John was embarrassed to be left in place, and no one paid attention to him several times when he tried to interject.

Kate glanced back at him before leaving, and said flatly when hope appeared in the man's eyes: "I hope you have found a lawyer, we have two children, and I hope the divorce scene is not too ugly." ”

……

The holidays are over in a blink of an eye, and after the schools here are all released, Kate and John finally split their property and divorced.

According to the wishes of the little ones, the boy Daniel chooses to follow his father, while Max chooses to follow his mother. Although Kate was a little sad, she chose to respect her child's choice.

When Esther's true identity was revealed, and John saw the paintings with his own eyes, he already realized that he had wronged his wife. But his distrust has broken Kate's heart, and no matter how much he apologizes, Kate insists on divorcing him.

There is a rift between them themselves, a gap between each other. Now the rift is even bigger and cannot be repaired. And he himself knows that even if he doesn't get divorced, he doesn't know how to face each other in the days to come.

Their original house will also be sold, as Esther's news has been reported in detail. Esther was worried about her adoptive father, and as a result, the almost tragic death of her adoptive father's wife and daughter was naturally exposed. There is also a fluorescent painting that I don't know how to circulate, the wall is full of fluorescent paintings.

John is also ashamed of being provoked by Esther and quarreling with his wife to the point of divorce. In this case, neither John nor Kate wanted to live here.

Kate and Max came to see Winnie with a gift before they moved out.

"Are you going to move out?" Winnie entertained Mother and Daughter Kate at home.

Max sat obediently beside his mother, taking small sips from his yogurt cup, and looked at Winnie with sparkling eyes.

Kate touched the top of her daughter's hair and said, "I decided to find a house near the elementary school, and it will be easier for Max to go to the elementary school in the future." ”

"Thank you anyway, if it weren't for your help, I would probably have been a crazy woman in a mental hospital." Ketra took Winnie's hand and thanked her sincerely.

Winnie didn't take credit, "I just contacted BAU, and they proved your innocence." ”

"But you know, innocence is important to me." Kate leaned over and hugged Winnie with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, when everyone doesn't believe me, only you want to help me." ”

Winnie didn't speak, but patted Kate on the back comfortingly.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that day I happened to see Esther's iconic dress, Winnie wouldn't have realized that they were the protagonists of "Orphans". Fortunately, she saw it that day, and now Kate will have a new life, and she may be able to meet a better man in the future.

And that perverted woman has been strangled to death by the water. This is of course Ding Qing's masterpiece, and she mocked the other party fiercely before killing someone.

The "suicide" method of being strangled to death by water has also become a new hot topic of discussion. Everyone says that it is worthy of being a pervert, and the brain circuit is different from ordinary people.

The Coleman family quietly moved away, and the conversation of their family was also left behind by the townspeople as Christmas approached.

Because there will be a date, Winnie and Red usually talk a lot, so the gift is naturally to do what they like. Red simply said that he likes books and wants to buy some books recently.

Winnie, on the other hand, has a lot of money and lacks nothing, so she said that she likes to eat a kind of candy recently, and she just needs to give him this brand of candy.

Rhett specially bought a pack and tasted it first, and found that the candy inside was made into small balls of different colors, and the candy balls were also wrapped in a very fine layer of frosting, each color representing a different taste.

[Which flavor do you prefer?] Are all these candies mixed? —Rhett

[I like the orange flavor, it's a shame it's all mixed.] —Winnie

So for the next few days, Red and his colleagues ate sugar every day.

Morgan, holding the bag, discovers that the only candy Red gave them is the orange flavor!
