Employee of the month.

Chapter one

Emily walked into the office, it was that time of year again, three new faces to the second half of the team.

The bureau say's that all departments must take on a minimum of three recriut's every year. It's just rotation so they properly wouldn't be here long. This job was hard, so they didn't stick around for long. One out of three, which the BAU took, would take an office position here.

One of the three noticed her sit at her desk, he seemed to have injected himself well into the team, he was goofing off with Morgan and Reid, Reid feeling slightly uncomfortable with another alpha male, but laughed along with his jokes.

His name was Malachi, strong name Reid thought, he had stated his name was reference to a Hebrew prophet, but they guy didn't really acknowledge his words.

He had spotted Emily.

He headed over to her, to introduce himself.

"Hi" he startled her

"Hey" she said looking up at him, rubbing her cheast

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you, I'm Malachi, just wanted to introduce myself"

"Oh, okay, I'm Emily…Prentiss" she gave him a smile

"You know you could do me a favour"

"Oh really" she laughed "And what might that be

"Take me to lunch and explain the in's and out's of this place…I really want to make a good impression…this would be my dream job"

Emily was stunned, he had been here five minutes and was asking out his colleagues!

"That's not a good idea…."

"Come on…no funny business, just literal business" he gave her his best smile.

"Erm…okay, I take lunch at 1"

"Great, see you later Emily Prentiss."

Morgan saw the interaction, he knew Emily wasn't interested but it would be nice for her to get out there a bit more, so he went over and had a banter about him with her.

After their lunch 'date' Emily told him his advances were not going to work, her career came first and the was a no-fraternizing rule. He sort of accepted that and they went back up to the office and continued there case work, which for Emily was growing by the minute.

A couple of week's went by, and Malachi was getting close to the main core of the team, yet Emily noticed he avoided Hotch, she didn't understand why, yet.

She was in the kitchen area, alone, when Malachi walked in. she said 'hi', but he didn't respond, he went right up close to her and stared at her.

"You are a real hard-ass bitch you know that?" he said in a very cold and dark way.

"Excuse me!" she exclaimed

"You heard me" with that he grabbed her putting his hands all over her, she managed to release his grasp and left the room. She ran to the toilets trying to figure out what just happened. Had she just been attacked.

She left and went back to her desk, he was there laughing and joking with other members of the office team. Not a shadow over him at what he had just said and done to her. He didn't even look in her direction.

She sat at her desk and threw herself into yet another growing pile of reports she had to do.

"Don't think about it Emily, don't drive yourself crazy."

She thought that she would see his reaction, see if he meant it or was on drugs or something, before she made a big deal of it.

But the assaults became more frequent after that, verbal mainly, but what could she do. She knew she should report him, but he was so pally with the team, including Morgan and even Reid. Rossi liked him too.

The end of the day came after having the verbal attack's for nearly 3 week's. she headed for her car.

Then she felt someone grab her from behind, as soon as she had put the key into the lock. She knew the cameras for this floor were out of order, so did the team, they were told to be extra vigilant. She thought she had been, it was still daylight after all.

Then the beating came, not to her face though, every where but her face. Then she realised who it was. Malachi. he stood to undo his trouser buttons, she tried to get up, but her ribs were to sore to move very quick. He pinned her to the floor.

After he just smiled and whispered in her ear "I knew I would have you!" he laughed and left her.

It took her about 5 minutes to get into her car. She drove home. Shutting the door, collapsing and cried. She couldn't stop crying. How did this happen, to her , of all people. Was this her fault? Should she have reported him.

She didn't know what to do. What could she do, he had injected himself so well into the team.

But he would be gone soon, then she forget anything happened. She knew she shouldn't but she headed straight for the shower, scrubbing herself clean.

The bruising was so deep all over her back and stomach. But it ran deeper, how did she get herself into this mess. Her mind was a complete blur she let the water wash over her battered body, trying think like a cop, trying to think what she would say to this victim, the victim that was her, but she couldn't think straight.

She was so ashamed how had she had gotten into this position. She felt she had no one to turn to. Would anyone believe her?
