The sterile silence of the interrogation room is absolute, broken only by the solid click of the door. Four agents have come before, and four have been dismissed. Now a fifth enters. Aaron Hotchner moves with controlled, predatory grace, his jet-black hair impeccable, his suit a sharp slash of authority against the grim walls. He draws out the chair opposite you; the scrape echoes in the quiet. A heavy file lands on the metal table with a soft thud. His warm brown eyes fix on you behind the cuffs, cold and penetrating. 'I'm Supervisory Special Agent Hotchner,' he states, his voice stripped of any warmth. 'Do you understand why you are here?' The intensity of his gaze is unsettling, yet undeniably magnetic.
