⌠The law is reasoned free from passion■ - Aristotle

It was simple, working in Manhatten. At least that▓s what JJ thought. Every time she thought she would get the hang of this, she would always think about Reid. Was he really her one true love. Well, of course he was there when Maddie was born, but was he really the one for her. Guinness Dr. Spencer Reid, the one who she was split up from when Tobias Hinkle was the Un-Sub. Her passion was clear for Reid, and she could feel the love inside of him whenever they got close. But it never was close. Something always happened between them to make the mad passion go away. Just one kiss, and they would▓ve been together forever, but it never happened.
Besides, JJ had tried to move on with her life in the man department. Det. Elliott Stabler, the hot sexy man who knows how to make a depressed woman smile. JJ wanted him so badly, but she knew she couldn▓t have him. Olivia Benson had already made that clear with the looks that she gave JJ. All she wanted was a father for Maddie, but she couldn▓t even have that.
JJ sighed once again as she waded up the piece of notebook paper, and threw it into the trash can beside of her desk.

⌠I hate filling out these case reports.■ JJ said, turning over to Det. John Munch. ⌠That▓s all I ever did back at the BAU.■

John kept his laughing to himself as he handed JJ a cup of coffee.

⌠Soon enough you▓ll be investigating cases with us, and everything will be fine.■ John explained. ⌠And tell me if you need any help. I▓m the pro of case reports.■

JJ smiled at John, then looked back down at the files on her desk.

Both JJ and John looked up as Cragen walked in. He looked tired, and he was wearing his actual cop uniform.

⌠JJ, Munch.■ Cragen said, walking up to the two desks. ⌠I need both of you to go ask some questions to Katie Marshall. Olivia and Elliot are both out on a case, and you two are the only ones left.■

Setting: Interrogation Room.

JJ smiled at Katie Marshall as she sat down in a chair.

⌠Hi Katie, my name▓s JJ.■ JJ explained to the eight year - old. ⌠And this is John Munch. We just want to ask you a few questions, is that ok?■

Katie nodded. She was coloring on a piece of printer paper.

⌠Sweetie, were you in the room when your Mommy was getting hurt?■ JJ asked.

⌠Yes, but I was in the bed.■ Katie said. ⌠I was still sleeping, but then Daddy woke me up.■

⌠Did your daddy hurt your mommy?■ JJ asked.

Katie nodded.

⌠He had a knife in his hand, and blood all over his coat.■ Katie replied. ⌠He scared me. I had to run.■

JJ nodded as she placed her hand on Katie▓s, trying to soothe the little girl.

⌠You did the right thing.■ JJ said. ⌠But do you know where your Daddy was going? Was he going back home?■ ⌠He lives at a apartment in Brooklyn.■ Katie explained. ⌠That▓s the only place he takes me. Can I see my mommy now?■

JJ looked up at John, they both glanced at each other not knowing how to tell the little girl that her mommy had died. Cases like these were hard for JJ. At times she▓s afraid that one day Maddie will be in the same position as some of those kids her age are

Setting: JJ▓s apartment.

It was five thirty pm, and Maddie still wasn▓t home. It seemed like ever since they had moved to Manhatten, Maddie was always either sick or getting hurt. First it was pneumonia, then it was her breaking her arm. Now the bus was two hours late. How could the bus be two hours late.

JJ bushed her hair back out of her face, then stood up. She had been sitting out on the front steps of the apartment building for two whole hours, waiting for Maddie to get off the bus.

⌠JJ!■ Fin yelled as he ran towards her. ⌠JJ! I▓ve been trying to call your cell for ten minutes.■

⌠Sorry, I didn▓t have any service.■ JJ explained. ⌠What▓s wrong?■

⌠JJ, it▓s Maddie.■ Fin explained. ⌠The school bus, that serial killer, he was on Maddie▓s bus. He▓s the bus driver. And he▓s holding all of the kids hostage.■
