   Summary

   Aaron Hotchner was a man who stuck to the books. No loopholes, no free passes. There are policies and rules for good reason, and thus should be upheld no matter the circumstance. Imogen Thatcher, on the other hand, felt that there was always some wiggle room when situations called for it. And thus began her new position at the Behavioral Analysis Unit and her ongoing battle with her boss who seemed to detest her addition to the team.
