Chapter 7

Emily collapsed heavily into her motel room couch. God what a day it had been. She sighed and reflected on the last 14 hrs;

Talking to the family had been so hard. They'd been remote, hysterical. The profiler in her new that it was their way of coping with the horrific nature of how their son had been killed. Their grief had not yet surfaced, only anger and despair were visible. Finding out as much as she could, she and Hotch had returned to the local police station to see how the rest of the team were doing.

Spencer had finished the victimology.

Morgan and Rossi had found a link between the two boys. Both kids had been having trouble at school. After being suspended several times and then threatened with expulsion, their parents had sent them to the same military school for the summer. After they'd returned home, the boys had been quieter, but doing better. The parents had been ecstatic with the results. Hotch was sending Morgan and herself to the school tomorrow. It was going to be a good 2hr flight.

Jordan had briefly told her that the press conference had gone well and they'd already been getting phone calls with leads that police were following up. Emily had sighed and tried to smile, but her dark co-worker had known why it hadn't been in her and just said, 'I'll see you later Em.' The brunette had simply nodded.

The sound of a key turning at her door made Emily start from her reverie. Jordan. She looked over her shoulder and watched as slowly the door opened and in walked her salvation. The woman had been so patient with her today. Only wanting to comfort. Guilt spiked in Emily's heart and getting up from the couch, she moved to hug her lover.

"I'm sorry." She whispered against dark hair.

"For what baby?" Jordan whispered back, lifting Emily's chin so their eyes met.

"For today." Emily whispered. Jordan's heart broke. The case was getting to this wonderful woman she adored and despite being in pain, Emily was afraid she'd somehow hurt Jordan by not being with her more. A tear slid down Jordan's cheek but she smiled as she kissed Emily softly on the lips and then whispered against them.

"You have nothing to apologise for Em." Catching the brunettes eyes, she continued. "I'm always here for you, whenever u need me." Emily smiled then and wiped the lone tear on Jordan's cheek away with her thumb.

"I need you now." Jordan returned the smile, stood and took her lovers hand. "Just hold me?" Emily asked.

"Whatever you need." Jordan whispered in reply as she lead her toward the bedroom.

Ok, more or is no one reading this story any more. J
