Hi, I couldn't get the idea out of my head for this one. Let me know what you think.
Can't wait to see CM march 7th, past few weeks have been full of nerve-wracking moments, I don't know what I'll do if CBS takes Emily out for the 100th time.
''Hey! Princess, wake up, the autopsy for our last victim is done and the sheriff callled, they found the woman who went missing yesterday,we are waiting outside.''Morgan said knocking on Emily's hotel door, the team had been called in to small town for a streak of murders, women were being killed and tortured in their own home, something that the little town located in the outskirts of texas had never seen, the small team of profilers had just gotten there, the first day a woman had gone missing, she was last seen by her two kids before they took the bus to school, they didn't think it was the UNSUB but the mother fit the victimology which was pretty, brunette in their 30s and successful, low risk victims that were either alone or divorced.
''Emily!, we called the manager to open up, if you are naked, Morgan is never going to shut up about it.''JJ said trying to knock after Derek, the others had left to the hospital were the possible victim was, Derek and JJ were waiting for her friend since they had to use the same SUV to go around, right now they were called to go see the body on the autopsy room, while the others went to interview the missing woman and Hotch at the precint helping Garcia gathering information.
JJ had sent a text to Emily and the team after receiving the call from the sheriff about the woman being found, Hotch soon had them going different places, JJ, Morgan and Prentiss would go to the morgue.
Everyone but Emily responded to the text in the little group chat they had on their phones, even Garcia was working on it, after receiving the text. Emily was usually usually the first one up, she was not a morning person, but one that was determined to catch the bad guys and save people. After receiving the confirmation from the morgue at 8 a.m. JJ had sent another text, this time individually to Morgan and Emily, but Emily didn't respond or had seen the message, so she tried calling and she didn't answer, she tried knocking but there wasn't any response either, Morgan had asked, he became worried after JJ texted him that Emily wasn't opening the door, at first Morgan had wanted to kick the door down, but remembered that the nice manager of the hotel that had received them at s late hour yesterday would gladly open the door for them.
''I'm sure she just slept with her headphones on, she is impossible to wake up when that happens, but usually we sleep in the same room and I can just wake her up by pinching her arm'' JJ said watching Derek's worried face. The manager had finally showed up with a copy of the key.
''Well folks, please return the key after you check on your friend, I have to run back to the office.I have to deal with a crazy costumer that wants a refund because he saw a ghost on the hallway''Derek had thanked her and then she literally ran back to her office. Derek couldn't help but laugh distracted.
''Derek, hello!'' JJ said turning his head back.''You should let me in first, just in case she is in the shower''
''No, I won't lose the opportunity and I have to protect you both.''He said turning the lock after JJ had slapped his arm playfully.
''Pervert''JJ whispered.
''Okay Princess we are going in...''He said opening the door, JJ was impatience so she just swung the door opened to find a Sleeping Emily with her headphones on.
''Told you...Headphones on, and she becomes dead to the world''Derek then raised his eyebrows. JJ went to wake her her friend awake but then noticed she was covered in sweat and placed her hand on her forehead.
''She is burning up!, I think she is sick.''
''What? no way.''If Derek had seen her he would've know but he decided to open up the drapes first to let light in before looking at Emily.
''Why isn't she waking up?''Derek asked after a few minutes, JJ had taken her headphones off, but instead of trying to wake her up she kept patting on her forehead.
''Get me a wet towel, I don't think she will be able to work today, she looked good yesterday.'' JJ placed the wet towel on her forehead.
''Oh, she is always looking good, even more now all sweaty.'' JJ just rolled her eyes.
''JJ?''a whimper came from Emily
''Hey, it looks like you have a fever, how do you feel?'' JJ asked
''I'm fine''Derek snorted at Emily's response.
''No you're not, I have activated my mom senses and you missy, you have a fever, so let me take care of you for a second, okay?''
''Catch him''Emily said trying to get up and JJ pushed her back.
''It's not time to get up yet, how about you drink some water that Derek will be nice enough to get and some soup, and then I will let you sleep until we have to go to the precinct?'' She said looking at Derek to make him move
''not here'' Emily said slurring abd whisperinf the words out.
''Hotch told us to meet later today, Derek also grab a thermometer from the pharmacy I want to know how high it is, we might have to take her to an hospital and start moving.'' JJ gave Morgan orders
''On it mamma.''
''Hey, how is your friend?''The manager asked Morgan, who now had a bag from the pharmacy and a few food containers.
''She has a fever, I think we will have to leave her behind, she really wanted to catch this bastard.'' The manager was well aware of the murders and had been very kind with the FBI agents since their arrival.
''Oh!, my son, well... my stepson, he is a doctor, he came a few weeks ago to have a very long vacation, I will send him up!''The manager said excited.
''Oh thank you so much but...''
''No, no, people had been getting sick in this town lately, my stepson works in the hospital that is just outside town, he says people is dying because some virus that is going around, so I will send up, he will be happy to help, really.''
''Thank you Ma'am, I really appreciated, I never seen my friend this sick before.''
''What took you so long?
''I found something better than a thermometer.''Derek said going inside.
''Care to elaborate?''JJ said looking annoyed.
''The manager's son, well, step-son he is a doctor, he will be coming in a few minutes.''
''Well, is good I guess, that way we will know if it's better to take her to a hospital, she woke up briefly to throw up, thankfully I had grabbed a bin before it happened.''JJ said still stroking Emily's hair softly,
Emily was covered in the sheets as if she was freezing, only her shoulders and head could be visible, even in her state she was strong enough that she was gripping the sheets tigth to her.
''So princess is really sick, huh?''Derek said teasingly.
''Hey folks, Lisa my mother told me your friend is sick, I'm her step-son, Steven, I believe you are the feds.''Steven said recalling the information his mother gave him. He had more than seen the brunette yesterday, he thought she was beautiful and though she was alone on some type of business trip, but now he was surprised that this pretty brunette was actually an FBI agent.
''I'm Derek, this is JJ, and this...is Emily, she woke up very sick this morning and we are very concerned since is very rare for her to get sick, we are worried that it may be something serious.''Derek explained.
''Has she thrown up?''Steven asked.
''Yes.''JJ asnwered
''What about something she ate?''Steven asked.
''We ate the same thing, and I feel very good.''Derek answered that one.
''Good, there is a virus going around in city, she will get better, I will take her temperature and make sure is nothing too serious but I'm one hundred percent she will feel better after medicine and a long peacefull rest''after that they both sighed in relief and left Steven to do his thing,
Emily whimpered a little, it was hard to see their friend like this, if she had been aware she would've kicked everyone out.
''Stop, don't...''Emily said in a flash second and went right back to sleep.
''You'll be fine, She will be fine, you can leave her alone, she just has to drink to keep hydrated drink some medicine and she will be as good as new in one or two days, my job is done here folks, if anything call me, I'm here all the time. The medicine you got her will work just fine.
''Thank you...''They healthy profilers said to the doctor before closing the door again.
''She might as well be dead and he would say she still has one hundred years left to live.'' JJ snorted and commented on the doctor.
''Your mother senses are annoying but yeah, she doesn't seem to be enjoying being sick, so let's just wait a few hours and if the fever doesn't go down, we''ll take her.''Derek said trying to calm JJ down.
JJ cleared her throat before speaking.''You go to the morgue, I'll stay with her, I will not let you be here when I have to bath her. I will make sure she has everything she needs and then I'll go to the precinct, it make take me one hour or two''
''Oh wait a second I think I'm going to be sick too, I need a bath too from you both.''Derek said teasing again.
''Do you want me to call Hotch and tell him that you...''At that precise moment a phone went off, it was Emily's.
''Talking about the devil...''JJ said grabbing the phone.
''Put him on speakers, I want to know the latest updates.''Derek said excited that whatever JJ was going to say got cut off.
''Prentiss! I've tried to reach you several times, where are you guys?, wait a minute.''Hotch's footsteps could be heard, it seemed like was stepping outside the precinct.
''Why didn't he call us then?''JJ whispered, it made sense that if Emily wasn't answering her phone to call the others but before Morgan tried to finish her thoughts, Hotch began speaking again.
''Ok, coast clear,Emily, I don't care if you are not alone right now, I need to say I'm sorry for yesterday, I'm sorry that I made you upset...is that why you didn't answer the door to me this morning.''Hotch asked concerned, and both Derek and JJ stood flabbergasted.
silence was the only thing from their side of the conversation.
''Oh baby, I'm so sorry, but you know what? once this case is over I will take you to the place we went last month again, and we can just lay around and make love all weekend long, what do you say, will you forgive me babe?'' JJ and Morgan were still with their mouth open but Morgan recovered quickly.
''I don't know Hotch, I think you are attractive but you're not my type.''Morgan said trying to control his laughter.
''Morgan! what! did I call the wrong number? What are you doing with Em..Prentiss phone!?''Hotch was shocked at the beginning but that quickly changed to anger.
''Calm down Hotch, Emily is sick, I don't think she will be able to work today, we had a doctor come over and he thougth the same...''JJ said she was still in shock, they were suspicious yes, but to find out this way that Hotch and Emily were involved it was way too intimate.
''JJ? Emily is sick? is she in a hospital? she was fine yesterday!?''Hotch changed from his anger and was now back to concerned.
''Nope, she is still at her room, she wouldn't open the door and we had to call the manager to open it up, she had headphones on and on top of that very sick, very out of it.''Derek explained as best as he could.
''Oh yeah I hate when she does that, with her headphones...''Hotch realized he had once again reavealed too much information''Anyways I need one of you at the morgue, JJ you can stay with her, make sure she'll be okay, but we still need you, the woman that went missing yesterday was found wandering around yesterday it was not our guy from what Reid gathered, so that means he is back on schedule and there is a chance he may attack another woman today, we need as much people as possible, with Emily being sick we have one down already, I think is best if you take her to a hospital if she is seriously sick, I don't want her to be alone either. Rossi and Spencer are coming back from the interviews. with the families they may have the connection already we need to do this as fast as possible.''
''On it man.'' Derek said out loud making Emily whimper in her sleep and JJ glared at Morgan for making noise.
''And guys, not a word of this to the team, she will kill me if more people know''Hotch said
''And for how long had this been going on.''Derek couldn't miss the opportunity to tease with boss.
''Over a year, see you at the precinct later, take care of Prentiss JJ.''And with that Hotch ended the call, he didn't want to leave neither Derek or JJ time to respond back.
''Over a year! we suck at our jobs as profilers, are you kidding?''JJ said annoyed.
''Huh, they would talk about their dates too, all this time right below our noses... naugthy...''Derek thought out loud.''Well JJ, please tease Emily for me when she wakes up, I will get going, the sooner we catch this bastard, the more time we have to interrogate them after she is feeling better.'' JJ nodded as response and let him go, she started by making her take some medicine which she had to do by giving her little scoops while she still laying down, after a good thirty minutes of struggling she went to start a bath for her friend, Hotch had texted her that she would be needed for a quick conference, just to calm the media down, the news of the small town serial killer had spread like the virus in the town itself.
''Wake up Em, I ran you a bath, wouldn't you like Aaron instead to run you one, huh.''JJ said poking her friend arm trying to wake her up, she still all snuggled in her sheets.
''C'mon I have to change the sheets too, C'mon wake up.'' Trying to shake Emily all she got was another whimper, who knew Emily would be like this when sick.
''Ok, you leave me no choice, and you also have to tell me what Hotch did that made you so upset yesterday!.'' Emily continued to whimper in her sleep.
''Emily wake up!'' JJ was getting irratated, Emily was not like this at all, she grabbed one of her legs to try and pull it but had to stopp all out the sudden when Emily's soft whimpers became cries and tears.
''It hurts, stop...''Emily said between cries, it almost looked she in was sleeping in and out of conciouness and JJ became really worried, since an hour had passed already she decided to take her temperature again, just to see if it was going down at all.
''I know...but you will feel better, if you don't want that bath then let me just change the sheets, and I will leave you alone with a few wet towels, but you have to promise you will eat and drink something.''JJ said hoping Emily had heard that, her eyes were open now, but they soon closed again but she let them open long enough to whisper soft yes to JJ rigth after she had taken the thermometer out of her mouth to check again.
''Oh thank god, not good enough, but it has go down a little, it seems like the medicine Derek got you, it's working fast, I'll let you rest and if in a few hours when I come back you're not up or if you're still like this, you'll be at the hospital.'' JJ said but all Emily could do was frown, and she did even more when JJ tried to take the sheets away.
''Emily...you can't be this strong when you are this sick, let go, I'll just change them right...''A loud gasp came out of JJ's mouth after revealing what was underneath the sheets, Emily's skin being so naturally pale already was very sensitive to touch, so she would bruise easily if she hit her legs with her desk, but this are bruises.
''Oh my God...''Bruises that were becoming purple on her arm and another one on her bare leg, that's why she said it had hurt when JJ tried to pull her leg, this was beyond whoever would call foreplay, this was abuse, this what Hotch was probably talking about on the phone, but her friend would never let that happen, would she?
''Emily...did Hotch do this?''JJ asked panicked with tears in her eyes but her friend was no longer awake and it had been pretty hard to jerk her awake, not to mention now she was all drowsy probably from the medicine, JJ left a few tears fall, never in a million years would she think Hotch was capable of doing this, she doesn't believes it, Hotch would never do this but who else could've.
''Oh, Emily why didn't you come to me or us, we can help...''She said shedding a few tears over her friend.
''You know what, there must be an explanation...''She though there was no other explanation other than Hotch hurting her friend, but she knew then she had to confront him about this.
''I will talk to him, if he did this, I will make sure he pays and suffers for it.''JJ had promised as she dried her tears.
''I'll be back in an hour or two, I promise, whatever it is, I'm here for you.''She said basically to nobody, Emily was still pretty much asleep.
''Morgan, you are here, how is Prentiss?''Hotch asked Derek who was probably coming from the morgue, Rossi and Reid had yet to appear, Hotch stayed behind to help Garcia with all of the informations of the victims they had to try and find a motive.
''I'm sure she will be okay, she just need to stay hydrated and eat well for the next couple of days and then you can go to your weekend away...''Derek almost whispered the last words to Hotch and enjoyed seeing him tense up.
''Morgan, I hope you understand we do remain professional while working, and we will eventually tell you...Garcia she knows, she found out by accident''Hotch responded with calm trying to hide his embarrasment knowing he had gotten caugth.
''What? my baby girl betrayed me, but sure man, and again not a word, but you better be telling this to all of us soon, because this is way too good to be true.''Derek winked at Hotch
''What's too good to be true?''Spencer said while walking along with Rossi into the small conference room the sheriff was nice enough to set up for them.
''Nothing...What did you get from the families and what did you get from the morgue?''Hotch asked very quickly to change the conversation.
''Shouldn't we wait for JJ and Emily.'' Spencer asked seeing that neither of them were there.
''JJ will be joining us later, Emily seems to have the virus that is going around here.''Morgan explained their absence, looking around he could see several cops looking sick too.
''We confirmed that 2 of our 3 victims had been sick, 1 of them called in sick to work, and the boyfriend of our second confirmed she had a high fever when he last saw her, only the autopsy for the thir can tell us if she was sick, she didn't have any family or friends.'' Rossi brougth in
''She was, is the UNSUB attacking sick people?''Derek asked concerned.
''For all of them to be sick it's a big coincidence, there is a virus going around yes, the unsub may know them personally, but I doubt that, they don't connect in any way according to Garcia.''Hotch added.''What was on that autopsy Morgan?''
'' The toxic screen for the first and second victim came out, and were the same, It wasn't the blow to their heads that killed them, all overdosed, two needle wounds to their heart, one drug the other one for an antidote, I think this may be a necrophilia case, the report says that there wasn't any resistance to the rape that may be the reason why, we have to look for anyone that has any records for this type of behavior, I will call Garcia to let her know.''After the team agreed with Morgan's theory he excused himself out to dial the one and only Penelope Garcia.
''Chocolate thunder, why are you calling me on private and not a conference, you want to talk about naughty things?huh!''Garcia said with her unique energy.
''Work related baby girl, we need you to check anyone that may have necrophilia tendecies, look for those who work on morgues or are in the medical field, I sent you the sustances that our unsub has used, it doesn't look like he is getting this from the internet, so he may have access to it...''Morgan went rigth to bussiness.
''Horrible...On it handsome...will call you guys back in a minute''Morgan could hear Penelope typing away but he wasn't going to let her end the call.
''Hey...you don't get to hang up on me, there is a reason I called you privatly where no one can hear us...'' Derek started
''Oh yeah? I knew you wanted to talk naugthy to me...what is it?...''Garcia continued with their well known game.
''I'm mad at you babygirl for keeping a secret...''
''What secret...''
''So that means you know many secrets then...''
''I know a few, but I can't tell you because then it wouldn't be a secret and none of them concern you, not really...''
''So...How did you find out about Hotch and Emily?''Morgan could heard the moment Garcia choked on whatever she was drinking.
''How did you found out?''
''No, don't try to change the conversation, for how long have you known?''it was incredible how Garcia could manage both having a conversation and typing on her computer.
''Well, first of all, I'm very happy for them and you should all be because they're are really cute together and little Jack you know he is only 5 so he doesn't know much about anything but the other day, I heard him calling Emily mom and it oh!, so sweet...''Garcia was clearly really happy for them, Morgan had to admit that he was too, and that Jack could have someone to lean on after Haley died, was good for them both.''ok back to how I found out, you know how we sometimes stay late together like every other day, whatever, I never thought I had to relive this again ugh!, so everyone was leaving and that left me, Emily and Hotch together, at the time Emily's car according to her had broken down, so Hotch had offered to take her home since they were close, so obviously they would leave together and I decided to leave, they said they were going to continue working because we really needed information about the unsub we were working on before he killed again, so I left, yes, and it wasn't until I had reached the parking lot that I realized I had left my cellphone and you know me Derek! it was like leaving my baby''Morgan
was listening with much attention with what Garcia was saying.''The door wasn't even locked, I open the door and they were kissing''
''Aww see, that is cute...''Morgan interrupted
''You don't understand, even though Emily's car was broken down, she was the one giving Hotch a ride if you know what I mean...''
''What? You are joking, I don't believe you, They wouldn't do that! baby girl, I couldn't look at them at the eye if I did...''Morgan was clearly disturbed
''You tell me!, I couldn't look them at the eye for weeks, why do you think Emily bought me a expensive laptop for my birthday and Hotch gave me front seat tickets to britney spears?'' Garcia laughed it off
''Damm baby girl if that is true, worth it, your birthday was like 7 months ago, you've know for this long?''
''Yep, they let me babysit Jack time to time, Jack had asked Santa for Emily to be his mom, he wanted to call her mom, Jack's love for Emily is so obvious and that is why Hotch has been avoiding a reunion with the BAU kids''
''Wow, why don't they tell us, they know they would have our full support? I feel kinda hurt.''
''I don't know, ask Emily, Hotch once opened up to me about it, I guess because I am the only one who knows about them, he said that she is scared of commitment, and that she just wasn't ready, when Jack had called her mom the first time, they split up, Emily's excuse was that she didn't want Jack to get attach to her, because she wasn't his mom, Emily had told jack to only call her Emily but when Jack wrote his letter to Santa and Hotch told her about it, they came back together, I still don't get how she can be that stubborn. Sorry I'm telling you all of this I just needed to get it out, now that secret is out at least...Does everyone know already?''Garcia asked.
''Just JJ and me, we went to her room this morning because she wasn't picking up just to find out she was very sick, she couldn't stay awake, so when Hotch had called her cellphone we just thought it was work-related so we answered, and Hotch I think he is really awaiting for a magical weekend together with Prentiss, and that's when we found out it was not work-related..''Morgan chuckled
just rememebering the events of this morning. He could hear JJ in the background so that must mean Emily was feeling better.
''Baby girl did you find any information on this guy.''Morgan went back to his task on the investigation.
''Like three minutes ago, I just wanted all the cheese details but I guess it will have to wait. Put me on speakers, let's go back to work, I have a few suspects... I will send pictures to your computers''Morgan did as requested but once he had gotten back into the room, there was JJ like he had anticipated, but the scene was not, JJ's face was red with anger and she was looking at Hotch, Spencer behind her back, just in case she fights him, why would she?
''Okay guys I will send you the...''Garcia's voice was interrupted by JJ screams.
''Answer the fucking question!.''
''JJ calm down, this is crazy''Hoch replied in a more calm tone
''You hurt Emily, you hit her!''Then all Morgan saw was red, it didn't matter if Hotch denies it, Hotch had called Emily for forgiveness, and that could've been the reason, so he went to grab Hotch by the shoulders and as his back hit the wall Derek could only say one thing.
''I will end you.''
Let me know what you think will happen, I will post the second chapter tomorrow. And will do my best to get one up for to revoke too.
I deleted my other story, I will work on it later in the future, I just didn't like how I wrote it.
