"So, tell us a little more about yourself. What do you do in your free time, do you play any sports, what?" Emily asked as they started eating.

"Uhm, I play soccer."

At this, JJ's face lit up.

"Really?" She asked, sounding more like a 5 year old.

Taylor laughed.

"Yeah, really. By your reaction, I assume you play?" Taylor asked.

"I went to college on a soccer scholarship, actually. I try to get Em to play with me, but she doesn't like it very much." JJ explained.

Taylor smiled. "I love soccer, sometimes I go to a park and kick the ball around, when I have nothing else to do."

JJ and Emily smiled. "That sound nice! Maybe I'll join you sometime." JJ said, smiling.

Now, it was Taylor's face that lit up. "Really? You want to play? With me?"

JJ smiled. 'Wow, this girl must've not received a lot of love growing up. It's almost surprising to her that I would want to play soccer with her.' JJ thought to herself.

"Yeah, really. I mean, if you want to, of course." JJ said.

"Yeah! Of course I would want to!" Taylor said excited.

"Well, since tomorrow is saturday, how about then?" JJ suggested.

Taylor's smile fell. "Uhm, I'm sorry. I can't tomorrow. My dad is home."

"Well, alright, then how about Sunday?" JJ suggested, hoping to put the smile back on Taylor's face, eventually succeeding.

Taylor's smile was back. "Really? That would be cool! Dad's friend is coming over sunday anyway, and that way I have an excuse to not be there."

JJ and Emily looked at each other.

"Why? Why do you need an excuse not to be there, Taylor?" Emily asked gently.

"Erm, I, uh, I don't, I just, uhm, don't, I don't know, I just, nothing." The girl stuttered.

"Listen, I know you don't trust many people, okay? I can tell, but you can trust us, we will help you." JJ said.

The girl just nodded, but didn't say anything as they continued on with their meal, making small talk.

When they were done, they went home.

"Thanks a lot for the lunch and I can't wait until Sunday." Taylor said.

"You're welcome, and Taylor? If you ever want to talk, you know where to find us." JJ said.

Taylor nodded and started walking away, before she turned around and faced them again.

"Thanks, for everything." She said and went inside her apartment.

JJ and Emily sighed sadly before going into their own apartment.

"She'll talk, she just needs a little time and that soccer game is going to help, I'm sure." Emily said to JJ as she rubbed her girlfriend's back lovingly and comforting.

"I know, Em. It just hurts seeing her live in fear, you know. She wants to tell us, but she's too scared to do so." JJ said.

"I know, but if we continue to assure her, I am sure that she'll talk to us. We just need to be patient, and before you tell me, I know it's hard just sitting around, knowing a child is being abused, but we can't do anything, unless she tells us what's going on." Emily said.

"I know, doesn't make handing her back to her father any easier, though." JJ sighed.

"I know."

"And the way she looked relieved when we mentioned the soccer game on Sunday, did you see her face? It was like we just took her off of death row. It broke my heart." JJ said as a single tear made it's way down her cheek.

Emily carefully wiped it away and kissed JJ's forehead.

"I know, sweetheart."

"That kid looks like she grew up without love, which is probably correct, but the way she looked at me when I said I'd maybe join her for a soccer game, she looked like a little girl who's mother just said she'd play Barbie's with her, you know?" JJ asked.

"Yeah, speaking of mother's, I wonder what happened to her mother. I mean, I haven't seen her, and as far as I know, it's just Taylor and her father who live in that apartment." Emily said.

"Yeah, you're right." JJ said as realization dawned on her.

"Well, I guess we'll know that story when she decides to tell it." Emily said as she put her arms around her girlfriend.

"So, what do you want to do?" JJ asked.

"I don't know, maybe we can call Garcia and Derek and have them come over and just hang out, you know, take our mind off things for a little bit." Emily suggested.

JJ immediately nodded. "Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. I'll call them." She suggested.

Emily nodded as JJ got up to pick up the phone.
