The team entered a property in which they expected their UnSubs had taken residency Derek Morgan entered first, heading into the first room he saw in the building.
"Clear." He stated firmly, which told the team to move through that room and through the rest of the house. Jennifer Jareau and Emily Prentiss ran upstairs, searching the rooms that were there, and periodically disturbed by shouts of "Clear." When they reached the final room JJ opened the door and went inside. She was greeted by an UnSub holding a gun in front of her, who was quickly accompanied by another UnSub putting a gun to JJ's head and another taking her gun from her. The UnSub in front of her put a finger to his lips, gesturing for her not to tell the rest of the team that they were there.
"Empty." She said. Emily quickly realised that JJ was alerting her to this room because she said "Empty." Instead of "Clear." Fear bubbled inside Emily because she knew that something had to be wrong if JJ hadn't shot any of the UnSubs yet.
Without thinking she burst into the room, shooting the UnSub who was behind JJ and the one who had taken JJ's gun, but her blood ran cold when she heard a gunshot that had not come from her own gun.
Time seemed to slow down as a bullet hit JJ and she fell backwards towards Emily's feet, blood pooling around her head. Emily dropped to her knees and leant over JJ, who had been shot in the side of the head and was close to death. The rest of the room faded into darkness and the UnSub disappeared until JJ and Emily were the only ones left. JJ began to fade and Emily let tears fall down her face, begging JJ not to fade away too:
"No, JJ, you're going to be okay." She cried, "You're going to be okay!" But JJ had already faded, and Emily was alone in the dark. "JENNIFER!" she screamed repeatedly until she couldn't bear to scream any longer.
"I love you." She whispered dejectedly. And then she herself faded into darkness.
Emily Prentiss woke screaming "JENNIFER!" into her empty apartment; she had been aroused by her phone ringing. She shook her head in an attempt to remove the memory of the nightmare she had just experienced from it and answered her phone.
"Prentiss." She croaked into the receiver and was greeted by the over-excited voice of Penelope Garcia.
"Morning, Princess. Did you enjoy last night?" Garcia bellowed through the phone, she was of course referring to Emily blowing off drinks with her and JJ in order to do paperwork. Emily considered replying with a sarcastic comment, but because of her nightmare she wasn't in the mood to do so.
"No. It was horrible," Emily stated, "and to top it all off I had a nightmare, I never even dream, let alone have nightmares." She shuddered at the memory of watching JJ die. "Why are you calling anyway?" she asked, her face fell. "Please don't tell me we have a case."
"On the contrary, I was just calling to tell you Hotch has given us the week off, seeing as we have been doing nothing but paperwork for the past few weeks and we haven't been requested for any cases recently." Garcia replied, the news turning Emily's frown to a smile. "And, I called to invite you out to breakfast with JJ and I. You've blown us off a lot in the past month, why is that?" Emily gulped.
"No reason." She replied.
"Whatever, Prentiss, I will get to the bottom of this," She informed Emily, "don't forget I am All-Knowing and All-Seeing."
"How could I forget?" Laughed Emily. "You remind me every time I try to talk to you."
"True. Anyway, are you coming to breakfast or not?"
"Sorry, I can't come because I have a massive crush on JJ and every time I see her I die inside and I'm just blowing you off so i can protect myself from falling in love and getting hurt." Emily thought, but instead she sighed and said "Sure, I'll come. I'll meet you in Café Celedon at about 10?"
"Great!" replied Garcia. "See you then."
