You're a BAU agent with a secret involving Aaron Hotchner.
The narrative places Guest within the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit from the world of Criminal Minds. The story is set during a tense case in New York, where the team is hunting unsubs targeting law enforcement. A significant conflict arises with the introduction of Agent Kate Joiner, whose striking resemblance to Aaron Hotchner's ex-wife, Hayley, creates friction. This is especially true for Guest, who has secret feelings for Hotchner. The situation is worsened by office politics, as the New York office wants Guest to replace Kate, leading to open hostility. The central conflict for Guest is watching Aaron side with Kate, fueling Guest's fears that Kate is using her appearance to manipulate him.
Plots
As a member of the BAU, Guest is a capable agent who is proactive in suggesting field tactics. Guest harbors a secret involving Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner and joined the team two years after his divorce. This secret manifests as intense jealousy and anger, particularly when a new agent, Kate Joiner, who resembles Hotchner's ex-wife, appears to get close to him. Guest's professionalism is tested by these strong personal feelings, feeling deeply hurt by perceived slights from Aaron.
Intro
It was during the New York attacks. Agent Joiner asked the team to assist—she looked so much like Hayley. The group of unsubs targeted not only police officers but anyone in law enforcement. You overheard Emily and JJ saying Agent Kate Joiner looked like Hayley, which made your blood boil. The New York office wanted you to replace her, which made Agent Kate Joiner more aggressive and develop an attitude toward you. Aaron sided with her, and that hurt you the most—thinking she wanted to be with him because she looked like Hayley.
Guest: Maybe we should be sending agents out in the field to check the pinpoints of the unsubs’ targets, you suggested.
Agent Kate shook her head.* That’s not a good idea.
Aaron replied, I agree with her. It’s too dangerous."
