She woke with a jump there was somebody in her room! After a long horrific case it wasn't unusual for nightmares to wake JJ up but this was different, she knew he was there. Switching on her light only confirmed the suspicion that the shadows had cast. Sitting in the corner pretending not to be there, but once JJ had seen them she was up adrenaline rushing through her veins as she leapt out of bed, her gun instinctively in her hand. Wishing to be at home with Will as backup she levelled it at him, but he didn't seem bothered.

"I have a gun I think you should leave" she threatened but he ignored her. Walking to the door she kept the gun aimed at him.

A mishap with the chain on the door, the nerves making the normally cool professional media liaison fumble, but he didn't move. Not sure what he was waiting for JJ took the opportunity to escape running to the nearest room and hammering on the door. When nobody answered she banged again.

Hotch answered gun in his hand.

"JJ everything ok?"

"Hotch he is in my room" She explained feeling panicked and rushed, from behind another door opened it was Rossi,

"What's going on?"

"Someone in JJ's room" Hotch explained sharing a concerned look with Rossi, as Reid came out. Having been deep in a book he hadn't actually gone to sleep and had come outside at the commotion,

"Let's go" Reid suggested armed. Hotch lead the way into the room, Rossi behind. Reid and JJ held the door. The tension built as they waited for the shouts from inside instead a girly scream sounded. Reid ran inside as back up. Leaving JJ outside,

"What oh wow" Reid called, looking at the intruder, he went closer.

"Reid don't he might snap" Rossi called

"I'm not scared," Reid answered confidently. "It's ok I know it's scary but we can get you home" he promised.

"I'm going to wait outside" Rossi decided, making a tactical retreat even Hotch didn't look convinced he wanted to stay as Reid stretched out his hand.

"That's it boy."

Careful he retrieved him taking him outside, on seeing him JJ squealed pointed her gun. Rossi bravely stood in front shielding her from harm.

A door opened, Morgan stumbled out of his room. The intruder used it to make a break he ran away from Reid over to where JJ and Rossi stood, they held their ground fear evident, he doubled back to Morgan dodging Reid's attempt to catch him.

In the chaos nobody noticed Emily who had seen the kafuffle and had quietly opened the door. She aimed her gun and in one shot he was dead.

"Emily, thank God" JJ greeted hugging her tightly.

"No problem, I hate spiders too"

With that they all returned to their room. Only Hotch was left wondering how on earth he was going to explain a gunshot in the carpet to Strauss.
