Anyways, happy reading tou you all!

We in the jury find the defendant...

Emily exited the restrooms after checking that she didn't look too bad. Her eyes were still swollen, she couldn't change that, but she looked presentable. Morgan ran up to her as soon as he saw her and before she knew it he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a hug. She was shocked at first and tensed up as she didn't know how to respond to this, but when realizing how much she needed this she relaxed.

"I'm so proud of what you did in there. I know it couldn't be easy the way that defense attorney made it seem that Jacob doing this was only in your mind." Morgan said still holding on tight.

When hearing that she pulled away from him and just looked him deep into his eyes. Hearing that didn't make her feel any better since she still hated when people said things like 'I'm proud of you'. Why were they proud of her? Yes it wasn't easy and that attorney was acting like a total shit hole, but they shouldn't be proud of her when she wasn't. Emily was all but proud. Not proud of that she hadn't fought back, not proud of that she couldn't sleep anymore, not proud of that she was scared each and every day and most of all, not proud of her weakness. There was a reason why she didn't tell anyone about Adam. A quite good reason actually. The team had finally ended their babysitting and she was finally free of them. Now, telling the team would be having them babysit her all over again and also adding police protection which would mean goodbye freedom. No, it was best not telling them and be on your guard every single second until he finally comes out so she could kill him herself. Or maybe she could look for him which would make this hell come to an end a lot sooner.
Instead of telling Morgan all of this she quickly gave him a smile and said:

"Thank you! I just hope this bastard gets what he deserves."

A day passed and Emily was nervous. Jacob was getting his verdict. Even if she knew most certainly that the jury had decided for guilty she was still worried to see his face. Morgan and JJ's testimonies had gone as planned and the attorney hadn't found a way to squirm around the fact that they'd caught him in the act and arrested him.

They walked into the courtroom and sat down on the right side, Emily between Morgan and JJ. The attorney, prosecutor and Jacob walked in next. Before sitting down Jacob gave Emily a big smile that made her stomach turn. It was like he had no idea that he would not be a free man ever again.

"All rise!" a voice said and when everyone rose the judge came in.

"You may be seated!" he said and everyone took their seats again.

Emily watched as a member of the jury left his seat and walked towards the judge with a note. Emily gripped Morgan's hand and squeezed it. Morgan gave her a calming stroke on her hand and she looked at him meeting his calming gaze. The judge read the note and gave it back to the man who began to read it.

"Will the defendant please rise. State of Virginia versus Jacob Ferris, we in the jury find the defendant guilty of kidnap, torture, rape and murder on four women. We find the defendant guilty of kidnapping, torturing and raping a federal agent."

Emily couldn't help but to smile. It was a real smile. The first real one since before she was kidnapped. She had smiled, but it had all been fake. Every time she had smiled her inside just wanted to cry, but not this time. This time she was actually smiling. Finally Jacob got what he deserved.

When the guards took Jacob out and their eyes met her smile faded. Jacob was smiling at her again and she could read his eyes. Then he was forming five small words that confirmed it. 'He will come for you!'

Emily froze where she was standing. Jacob's face seemed sure of this fact which could mean that this brother of his had actually sent him letters. Could he have? That would be pretty stupid since the letter could end up in the wrong hands. She needed to see them if there were any. Maybe they said what Adam was planning. Whatever it would be Emily would be ready. There was nothing he could do to take her away again. She could do this without worrying the team. They hadn't been out on a case since before the kidnapping and she didn't want to ruin that. Morgan's voice broke her of her thoughts.

"Emily! You won!" he said and gave her a hug.

"Yeah, I guess I did!" Emily said and gave him a smile. This time a fake one.

She wanted to read those letters so straight after the trial she was driving to Virginia state prison. Jacob would be there one more day before being transported to another one somewhere in Texas. They didn't want him in a prison in the same state and they also knew that the prison in Texas had higher security. Emily told her team that she was going home to rest because she was exhausted after the trial and they all understood.

She pulled into the parking lot once again and went to the front desk where the same woman as before sat.

"Hello, agent. You know that Jacob guy has already been to trial and found guilty."

"Yes I do know that, but I was wondering if he has received any letters recently."

"Yes, he has actually. Three or four. Never answered them though."

"Is there any chance that I could read them?"

"No, I'm afraid not. That's an invasion of privacy."

"Invasion of privacy? You're kidding, right? This man has killed four women and almost a fifth who has to live with that the rest of her life."

"I know, but the letters is something we can't take from them."

"But I have a reason to believe that those letters is from a man who will most certainly go after this fifth woman and I need to read them to protect her."

"I see... Maybe I can make an exception. Hold on for a second."

The woman left her chair and returned 20 minutes later with three letters all addressed to Jacob Ferris.

"Thank you ma'am."

"You're welcome." she said and Emily started to walk towards the door. "And I hope you catch him before he gets to you."

Emily stopped and turned around.

"What?"

"I'm not dumb. The way you talked about yourself in the third person, heard it all before. Also your eyes are hurting and you do have some scars left. And the news said she was a federal agent, never saw a picture though. So I just put two and two."

Emily was amazed about this woman. She was really good.

"Promise you won't tell anyone?"

"Yes, I promise I won't tell your team about your very own investigation."

"Man you're good! Ever thought of becoming a profiler?"

"Not really, but I'll give it a thought now that you've mentioned it."

Emily thanked the woman again and left the building.

Next on Criminal Minds-Twice upon a time: Emily will read the letters and most likely freak out.

Please review! I'll be very happy!
