Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds or Twilight.
Notes: JJ never got together with Will. I won't be so focused on 'cases' as I do not have a clue to 'profile', etc. This is more of a romance.
Prelude
The team at the BAU were currently sitting at their table as JJ went over their new case. Women were being abducted, killed and discarded at random areas in Missouri.
After the briefing, the team boarded the plane and were discussing more in depth on how they were going to approach this.
"Does anyone else feel a little…sick?" Reid asked
Everyone shook their heads. "Maybe it was something you ate." Rossi said.
Reid pulled at his collar as if loosening his shirt would ease his discomfort.
"If you feel that you are going to toss your cookies, please run the bathroom down there." Morgan said, pointing down the hall.
"Maybe it's motion sickness. I think I have some pills that will help." JJ said, digging through her purse.
About four weeks have past by and the team was very frustrated. They spent a good amount of time trying to track the killer but weren't having much luck. The killer was always steps away from them.
Morgan slammed a file down on the table, "This is ridiculous. We aren't getting anywhere. We need a new strategy." His frustration was evident.
"We are always getting behind. We know who it is but can't catch him." Rossi said, putting his head down.
"This man is skilled. He really knows how to cover his tracks." JJ said.
"Sooner or later, he will make a mistake. We just have to make sure that we are there to catch it." Hotch said, folding his arms.
"So that's it? We are just going to sit here and wait? Hoping he messes up?" Emily asked
Morgan turned to her, "What would you suggest?"
Emily bit her lip. "I may know someone who can help."
The whole team turned to her. All of them were very curious.
"What is it?" Hotch asked in his usual 'authoritive' voice.
"I have a niece that knows people that can track." Emily said.
"Are they with the FBI?" Hotch asked.
Emily hesitated, "No. They are civilians but I heard that they were really good."
Hotch shook his head, "You know that we cannot bring civilians that are not involved with cases."
"Hotch this might not be a bad idea. We have been running around for days and days just trying to catch this guy. No one is having any luck. If it's possible that Emily's connections can catch him, I'm all for it. It is less chance of other people getting hurt. The more time we waste, the greater the chances of more women suffering the same fate." Rossi said.
"I agree." Morgan said. "We are running around like chicken with our heads cut off. Emily's connections can track the killer and we can make sure that they don't get hurt in the process."
"It can't hurt to try. We mind as well, otherwise we are just sitting here." Reid said.
Hotch bit his lip and turned to JJ. "At this point, I'm willing to try anything."
Hotch sighed and turned to Emily, "If we do this, it has to be confidential. I don't like keeping secrets but we have to make sure that no one else knows about this. Especially Strauss."
Emily nodded in agreement and pulled out her cell phone.
"That woman can find fault in anything." Morgan muttered.
Olympia Washington
The forest was beautiful. The plants were very green, the water in the lakes looked fresh and ice cold, the mountains hiding behind the fog were covered with snow, yet on the forest ground there was no snow.
Bella used her vampire speed to hunt. She stopped dead in her tracks when she caught the scent of a mountain lion. She smirked when she realized that the animal was hunting her. It was doing its best to keep quiet so that it could sneak up on her.
"You can come out of hiding. I know you're there." She said. Bella turned around and started walking in the direction the mountain lion was at.
When she was about twenty feet away from it, the mountain lion charged at her. When the animal leaped in the air, Bella dodged it easily and grabbed it from behind. She snapped its neck to put it out of its misery and drank. Once she drained it, she stood and wiped her mouth with her thumb.
Bella ran home and greeted her family. Alice ran to her sister and told her that she received a message when she was gone.
"My aunt called?" She asked.
"You have an aunt who is an FBI agent?" Jasper asked. Bella nodded.
"I suggest you call her right away. It sounded like it was important." Alice said.
I thanked her, headed up to my room and called my aunt back.
"Hi Bella." Emily said.
"Hi Aunt Emily. Alice said you called." Bella said.
"I did. How are you doing?" Emily asked.
Bella thought about her current situation, "I'm okay. I'm going through some stuff but will handle it. What about you? How are you doing? Is everything alright?"
"Actually I wanted to ask you a favor." Emily said.
Bella swallowed, "Ask away."
"I know that you said your friends are good at tracking." Bella didn't say anything, just waited for her to continue. "And I was hoping my tram and I could put them to good use with a case we are working on. We have a serial killer here, in Missouri and we know who it is but we can't seem to catch him. We are always one step behind. Do you think it would be possible if someone you know could help us catch him?"
Bella gripped her phone tight but not enough for her phone to break. She didn't know what to do. On the one hand, she didn't want to run the risk of one of her family members being exposed but on the other, she didn't want this guy to get away. "I can ask them."
Emily smiled, "I appreciate it sweetheart. I thank you. If you could call back with a decision soon, I'd be really happy."
"I don't think it will take long. Love you." Bella said
"Love you too, bye." Emily said
Bella hung up and ran to her family. She opened her mouth but was cut off by Emmett, "We already heard."
Bella looked around, "What do you think?"
Everyone looked to Carlisle who seemed to be thinking heavily. After a couple minutes, he smiled at Bella. "I think it can be done."
Bella smiled, happy to help her aunt and the human race. The rest of the family minus Rosalie looked a little shocked. Rosalie clearly didn't agree with Carlisle's decision.
"Who is going?" Edward asked.
Carlisle continued to stare at Bella with a smile before walking up to his adoptive daughter. "I think this will be good for you Bella."
Everybody's mouth dropped, including Bella's. "Carlisle, it-it's too soon." As far as Bella was concerned, she was still in her newborn stage. She hasn't been around humans for that long and even when she was, it was minimal. "Even Jasper would be better than me. He has more control."
"Bella, I know you can do this. Think of it as tough love. It will be good practice." Carlisle said.
Emmett laughed, "Not sure how people would like to know that you are using them as guinea pigs."
Bella ignored his comment and said, "Maybe it will be better to ease me more into it. Like, maybe sharing an elevator ride with someone?" Emmett laughed.
"Bella, I know you can do this. You have a powerful mind. More powerful than ours'. You are stronger than you think. You may not feel like you have control but that it just your fear talking. If you truly don't want to do this, I'll accept that. I'm not going to force you into it but I do think it will be beneficial. If you do decide to do this, someone can come with you to make sure you don't…slip."
Bella ran a hand through her hair before nodding. Carlisle smiled with pride.
Emmett rushed to Bella and picked her up, hugging her, "I would be happy to make sure you don't feed on the humans."
This will start off slow but pick up when Bella and JJ meet. Which is in the next chapter if people want.
I want to see how this idea is going before I invest too much time in it. If you like it, I will continue. I just don't know how many people will be interested in this.
