Thanks for reading, reviews are nice too.

"It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own." Herbert Hoover

"Quiet, quiet, quiet!" Dave shouted over the two angry women "No more yelling."

"Well you're yelling." Emily pointed out folding her arms across her chest.

Dave raised an eyebrow at the brunette and turned his attention to the two male profilers.

"What's going on here?" Dave asked.

Emily, JJ, Morgan and Reid all start talking at once.

"One at a time." Dave said rubbing his forehead "Reid how about you go first?"

"Why him?" JJ asked suspiciously.

"Because he's easiest to read." Dave said "What happened?"

"Emily and JJ were trying to sneak out of the BAU before Hotch gave them their punishment." Reid said sighing "And we were stopping them."

"What punishment?" Dave asked confused "Why are they being punished?"

"They screwed up on a case" Morgan gloated "And Hotch told them that if they screwed up again that they'd get punished."

"Knock that smirk off your face before I knock you on your ass." Emily muttered to him.

"Prentiss, JJ" Hotch called out of his office "My office now!"

"Ha ha" Morgan chuckled earning a glare from both women who headed up the catwalk.

Emily sighed as she knocked on the door and both women rolled there eyes when they heard Hotch's standard "Come in."

Huffing out of annoyance both women walk in and see the stern look on Hotch's face.

"You wanted to see us, sir." Emily saucily replied.

Hotch raised an eyebrow at the tone, "You two need to learn that there are consequences for your actions..."

"We already know that Hotch" JJ said "And we both don't need to be treated like we're five year olds. I have a kid myself."

Hotch groaned and said, "You both need to grow up, and things are going to start changing around here."

"What?" Emily asked "What are you going to make us do?"

"You both are placed on stand down, no going out in the field. You'll be relegated to desk duty, if we leave on a case you'll both stay behind at the police station.

"WHAT?" Emily and JJ said in angered unison.

"That's just stupid." Emily said seeing Hotch's eyebrow lift at that.

Hotch could tell she was challenging him, so he did the only thing left to do, he gave both women the glare he only reserved for unsubs and people who challenged his authority.

JJ squirmed under the glare, but Emily held her head high not meeting his eyes but not looking away.

"You think that's stupid, Prentiss?" Hotch tone told her that he was not backing down, "Well I just got off the phone with Strauss and she gave me full authority to punish you two as I see fit."

JJ and Emily exchanged looks both wondering how they'd be punished.

"You two are going to clean the BAU from top to bottom" Hotch said seeing both women's jaws drop at that.

"What?" Emily asked.

"You're joking right?" JJ asked "Tell me he's joking."

"No joke." Hotch said "I don't care if it takes all night. And no asking Garcia or the janitorial staff for help."

A knock pulled the two angry women from Hotch's eyes and saw Dave peek his head in.

"Morgan, Reid and I are going for lunch," Dave said eyeing the women "Do you want to join?"

"Yes" JJ said.

"Thank God" Emily added.

"No, Prentiss and JJ will be sticking around here, cleaning." Hotch said seeing the women give him a look "You three go have fun, Dave."

"Sure thing." Dave said raising an eyebrow but closing the door behind him.

"That is so not fair" JJ told Hotch.

"Yeah well that's life" Hotch told her, "Now go get to work."

When the two women didn't move, he gave them a glare, "I said move it now!"

JJ grabbed Emily's arm and marched out the door, while Emily muttered, "When did he grow a pair?"

Hotch walked down the catwalk to the bullpen and was pleased to see it was a lot cleaner then it was before.

Seeing the two women walking towards the elevator, Hotch holds a small smile.

"See how much better it is when you follow the rules?" Hotch said.

"The bathroom and the supply room are clean" JJ stated.

"We're going to lunch" Emily added in heading to the elevator.

"Have fun." Hotch said walking towards the bathrooms.

Hotch walked into the men's room and stopped midstep, the bathroom was still a mess, turning on his heel Hotch bolted out of the men's room to the elevators.

"Hurry." Emily hissed while JJ kept jabbing the button for the elevators to open, both releasing a breath as the doors opened.

"Parking garage" JJ said jabbing the button to close the doors.

"Hurry up." Emily said watching out for any sign of him.

Both women smirked as the doors closed but jumped back startled when a hand stopped the doors from closing.

"Prentiss, JJ" Hotch voice echoed through the hallway.

"Close the door" Emily ordered.

"I am" JJ said frantically as the door reopened "Pretend you don't hear him."

"Not so fast" Hotch said giving them both a hard look.

"Son of a bitch" Emily muttered.

"We're sorry Hotch" JJ said not meeting his glare.

"We couldn't hear you" Emily threw in.

"Enough with the lies." Hotch said stepping aside so they could get out of the elevator "Out, now."

Hotch sat in a chair watching Emily scrub the BAU men's room floor while, JJ scrubbed the toilets.

"This is so disgusting" Emily whispered to JJ.

"I haven't eaten anything since breakfast" JJ whispered "I'm starving."

"Me too." Emily whispered back looking over her shoulder as Hotch sat in a chair on his cell phone "Say something."

"Why me?" JJ asked.

"Because he's nicer to you" Emily said seeing the skeptical look flash across her face "Well he usually is."

JJ shrugged and turned around "Um, Hotch? We haven't had lunch yet."

"Neither have the homeless people on skid row, now quit yapping and clean." Hotch said giving both women a hard look.

"He looks crazy" Emily whispered "You think he finally had a total meltdown."

"Probably." JJ whispered "I think he really is out of his mind."

"I'm not crazy" Hotch said loudly "I'm just pissed off, you broke the rules and their are consequences for breaking the rules. Be glad it's me who's doing this and not Strauss."

"Come on Hotch, we said we're sorry" Emily groaned out.

"And besides I can't get this urinal clean enough" JJ said.

"Use your hands with the sponge instead of the toilet brush." Hotch said.

"Ew, no" JJ said disgusted.

"Either that or use your toothbrush" Hotch said getting up to lean on the door frame "And after you finish this restroom your heading towards the locker rooms and you know how messy fellow agents can be."

Emily and JJ exchanged horrified looks.

"Aw come on, Hotch" Emily whined.

JJ's gloved covered hand picked up the urinal cake, groaning out, "Ew."

Emily looked over and moved out of the way when JJ tossed it towards the can.

"Gross" Emily moaned out, as she kept mopping the floor.

"Alright all ready." Hotch said walking away from the door to sit back down with a smirk on his face.

"Lousy piece of..." Emily muttered.

"What was that?" Hotch said.

"Nothing." JJ said lightly giving Emily a pleading look, then whispered "I'm not cut out for this."

Hotch sat in the bullpen watching Emily and JJ scrub down the conference room, when he saw Reid storm in looking green with Morgan walking behind him shaking his head while Dave held an apologetic look on his face.

"Reid I said I was sorry" Dave said genuinely.

"You have to learn your limits, Dave." Reid said walking over to his desk and resting his head on the cold wood.

"What happened?" Hotch asked.

"Apparently while you were here playing the bad cop, I tried too hard to be the cool cop." Dave said.

"Cool cop?" Reid asked groaning "I think I'm going to be sick."

Hotch saw Reid get up and rush for the bathrooms, looking over at Morgan who was rubbing his temples with his hands.

"What happened?" Hotch asked.

"Dave here wanted to prove he was a more fun superior than you with your laying down the law with the girls and..." Morgan said wincing at his memory.

"And what?" Hotch asked looking from Morgan to Dave.

"He totally overstuffed Reid with junk food and ice cream and well..." Morgan said "Reid threw up all over the back of the SUV."

Dave groaned at that, "Now I'm going to have to clean up puke..."

"No you wont." Hotch said smirking "Prentiss, JJ! Grab your gear and meet me in the parking garage."

"What?" Dave asked looking as the two messy, dirty agents walked tiredly down the catwalk into the bullpen.

"Hotch, we're tired." Emily moaned as her muscles ached.

Hotch raised an eyebrow to them, "I'm thought I told you to grab your gear."

"Hotch we haven't eaten all day." JJ said as her stomach rumbled "I'm hungry."

"Well you won't be in five minutes" Hotch said.

Dave pulled Hotch aside "What the hell did you do to them?" Dave asked seeing the two women rest on the desk.

Hotch turned his sight to the two women giving them a glare, "You don't get it, Dave. They are sneaky, lying..."

Emily and JJ gasp at that.

"But Hotch they haven't ate all day?" Dave asked.

"He's crazy." JJ whispered.

"JJ, Emily go get something to eat." Dave said "Hotch look at me, this isn't working you cannot be this extreme with your punishment."

"Strauss gave me carte blanche over punishing them." Hotch said sighing "I sound like a crazy person don't I."

"Yep" JJ and Emily said standing in the bullpen while eating.

Emily sighed and stretched her arms "Look, I get that we screwed up. Majorly and we won't ever let that happen again, right Jayje."

"You can believe that." JJ said.

"But there has to be a line drawn between being a boss who's giving a verbal warning to a dictator." Emily said "And now that we've apologized we'd like to put this whole ordeal behind us. Agreed?"

Hotch sighed, "Agreed."

Emily smirked as she went to her desk, relieved that this was over.

"As good of a boss as you are" JJ said going to her desk "And no offense but you are a really bad bad cop."

"I know" Hotch said "Nobody likes being the bad cop."

"Except for Strauss" Dave joked.

Morgan chuckled at that, "Now that's a role she relishes."

Hotch wandered into the bullpen the next morning, surprised to see JJ and Emily there already, walking up the catwalk he nodded to them.

"Ladies." Hotch greeted.

"Morning, Hotch." Emily greeted seeing him open his office door, she turns to JJ with a smirk.

Hotch closes the door behind him and shouts out, "PRENTISS!"

Emily shot JJ a grin and said, "Guess he didn't like the surprise."

The door barges open and Hotch stared at the brunette in the bullpen holding up the small waste basket "The water trick? Really?"

Hotch sloshed through the water on his office floor putting the waste basket back, plotting his own prank revenge.
