Sarah walked over to JJ and pressed the knife against JJ's throat. "You better shut your girlfriend's big mouth Emily before this game is over before it even starts," said Sarah.
Emily looked at JJ pleading with her eyes and JJ knew that, for both their sakes, she had to shut her mouth for now.
"Okay. Now that we're all listening, let me tell you the rules. You, Emily, just stand there and do nothing and your pretty girlfriend is going to keep quiet where she is now. I have a board here." Sarah took a board from next to her and putted it in the middle of them. "The rules are pretty simple, because on each square there is something written on it. It has to do with hurting each other. For example you Emily turn it and it lands on, let's say, hold a lighter by your girlfriends hand that's what you have to do. But both
of you have a joker, which means if you don't want to hurt your partner you can turn the tables around and you'll be the one that will get hurt. Are the rules clear?"
Both Emily and JJ were terrified, but they both nodded.
"Good, let the games begin," Sarah said smiling.
"Emily I give you the pleasure of starting first to see how your girlfriend is going to suffer," Sarah said with a smirk.
'I don't want to hurt JJ, but I have no choice. I have to think of a way for the team to find us otherwise we will never make it out here,' Emily thought.
Emily went over to the board and turned it. All three were waiting anxiously to see where it landed on. Emily and JJ were both looking horrified while Sarah had a big smile on her face.
"Read it out loud Emily," said Sarah.
"Use a Taser on your partner 3 times," Emily read.
"That's one of my favorite ones," Sarah said. She grabbed a Taser from a box standing next to her and handed it over to Emily. Pointing a gun at Emily she reminded her, "You better not use it on me, because by the time you have lunged over to me. I would have already pulled the trigger. So watch it!"
JJ was scared as hell and she wasn't afraid to admit it. She has had encountered a lot of things in her line of job, but this one was definitely the worst, and what made it even worse was that Emily, the woman she loved, had to inflict damage to her and also the other way around. She wasn't sure if they could make it through it.
'I can't do this,' Emily thought. 'I can't hurt JJ I would never forgive myself. I have to find a way to distract Sarah and get that gun from her so that we can get out of here, but how?' Emily started thinking quickly, because she saw that Sarah was getting impatient. All of a sudden she came up with something, 'That's it! I know what I have to do.'
"I don't feel so good I think I have to throw up," Emily said. She turned around and was resting with her hands on her knees acting as if she was nauseated. Then she started making gag noises. "Do you have a bucket or something, because I'm definitely going to throw up now?"
"Oh god! Emily, are you okay?" JJ asked with a hint of panic, because she didn't know Emily was faking it she thought that something was really wrong. JJ was ready to get up and help Emily but was stopped by Sarah.
"Don't you dare move or I will shoot you," Sarah said while pointing the gun at JJ. She stopped as soon as she heard those words.
Sarah didn't know what she should do. She wasn't expecting this. She grabbed a bucket from the corner of the room and rushed over to Emily, because she didn't want her puking all over the floor
Emily was still turned with her back to the rest when she heard what was going on between Sarah and JJ. Then she heard Sarah picking something up and rushing over to her. She knew she had to make her move. 'It is now or never,' she thought. Emily spun around quickly and used the Taser on Sarah. She saw that Sarah dropped her gun so Emily tackled her to the ground. Now they were both on the ground fighting to get up and get a weapon.
JJ could see what was going on. She hadn't expected that Emily would do that, she was already preparing for the pain that would come from the Taser. She saw that the gun that Sarah had in her hand fall to the ground, that's when her instinct started kicking in. She picked up the gun and saw that both Emily and Sarah were now standing up still struggling with Each other. JJ didn't have a good shot, without the possibility of hitting Emily instead. She was a good shooter but it was still difficult.
"Just Shoot JJ! Don't worry about me," said Emily.
That's when JJ took aim and just shot. Both Emily and Sarah froze. JJ saw that Sarah fell to the ground and she knew she had shot Sarah and not Emily. Emily slowly turned around and that when JJ saw that Emily was injured. She had a knife stuck in her abdomen. JJ gasped at the sight. She forgot that Sarah had a knife on her and apparently Emily also did. All of a sudden Emily fell to her knees. JJ dropped the gun and rushed over to Emily and laid her gently to the ground.
"Oh god Emily! Can you hear me? Are you okay?"
"I'm okay; relax JJ, good thing you didn't shoot me," Emily said with a little laugh trying to calm JJ down.
"That's not funny I could have killed you. I could have lost you," cried JJ as a tear ran down her cheek.
"I'm sorry JJ, but I'm okay. It could have been worse."
Emily started drifting of, her eyes kept closing and JJ was trying to keep her awake.
"Please stay awake Emily come on. I'm going to find a phone and see where we are so I can call the team to come and get us. I will be back as soon as possible, Okay?"
All Emily could do was nod, because she had little strength. JJ kissed Emily before standing up to search for a phone.
"Garcia, have you found anything yet?" Hotch asked.
"Not yet sir, but I'm doing my best."
All of a sudden the phone started ringing. Garcia picked up the phone. "You have reached Garcia, how may I help you?"
"Garcia."
"Oh my god! JJ, are you okay? Where are you and Emily?"
When the team heard that it was JJ they all gathered around the phone while Garcia switched the speakers on.
"JJ its Hotch, are you or Emily injured?"
"I'm doing okay I have a gash on my head but nothing further, but Emily is injured pretty bad, she has a knife in her abdomen."
"Is she awake?" Rossi asked.
"I don't know. When I left she was barely awake, but I had to go and find a phone. She really needs an ambulance," JJ said while she had gotten more and more worried if Emily was awake or not.
"Where is the Unsub?" Hotch asked.
"She is in the same room as Emily, but she's dead. I shot her."
"Okay, do you know where you are?" Hotch asked while signaling to Garcia to trace the phone call if it was possible.
"I don't know it's closed up and can't see anything." JJ said while she felt tears running down her face.
"It's okay JJ. Don't worry about it just stay calm, we are going to try and trace your position."
That's when Morgan came rushing back. "Hotch we have a location of where they are."
"JJ we have your location. We are coming right away just make sure Emily stays awake," Hotch said.
The team got ready and all rushed to the location while Garcia stayed behind. JJ had hung up the phone and rushed back to Emily. When she had reached her she saw that Emily had her eyes closed and that she had pulled the knife out of her abdomen and was bleeding pretty bad.
"Emily you got to wake up for me okay? The team is on their way with an ambulance too. So please wake up. We're going to be fine. Can you hear me Emily? Please." The tears kept streaming down JJ's face. When all of a sudden Emily's eyes started to open.
"Hey, why are you crying angel?" asked Emily.
"You scared me Emily. I thought you were gone."
"I would never leave you, not when I just got you fully in my life," Emily said smirking.
"You're injured, and you're still trying to be charming."
"I got to do something."
"Why did you take the knife out? Now you're bleeding pretty badly."
"It was hurting like hell. So taking it out seemed the best option, but I'm starting to regret it, because I feel like shit."
"Just stay awake, the team is on the way. You're going to be fine."
The team was standing outside of the house. Morgan used all of his strength to break open the door. They heard the ambulance arriving when they went to search for JJ and Emily in every room. Morgan entered a room and saw JJ sitting on the ground with Emily lying on top of her legs.
"Hotch, I found them. In here!" Morgan shouted.
"Morgan, I have never been so glad to see you," JJ said with relief.
Morgan walked over to Emily and knelt down next to her while the team entered the room with the ambulance staff right behind them.
"Hey Prentiss, how are you holding up?" Morgan asked.
"I feel great, who doesn't like being stabbed?" she said with a hint of laughter.
"It's good to know you still have your sense of humor," Morgan laughed.
"How is she?" Hotch asked one of the paramedics.
"She is losing a lot of blood so we've got to go to the hospital now. That's the only thing I'm worried about now. I don't know if she has any internal damage." The paramedics got Emily as fast as they could in the ambulance.
"Are you okay JJ?" Hotch asked.
"I'm fine I just need a few stitches. Can I please ride with Emily?"
"That's okay. We will see you at the hospital."
Reid was so busy inspecting the play board that he didn't hear Morgan calling him. "Yo, Reid you okay in there? REID!" Morgan asked a little louder.
"What?" Reid asked.
"I asked if you were okay. You were kind of spaced out."
"Yes I'm fine, it's just this room."
"What about it?"
"It feels like a lot has happened in here. This room definitely has a past I can feel it."
"I don't feel a thing, so let's just get out of here." Morgan started walking out of the room while Reid was still looking around.
"Hey, are you coming? We have to go to the hospital and see how Prentiss is doing."
Reid looked around one more time and left with Morgan to the hospital.
They were all sitting in the waiting room, hoping to hear some news about how Emily was doing. They had brought her right into surgery. That's when Garcia came rushing into the hospital hoping to see her two girls all in one piece. What she saw was the team and a broken down JJ sitting just staring in front of her. Garcia greeted the team and then walked over to JJ and hugged her. That's when the tears started flowing by JJ and she couldn't stop.
"I could have lost her," JJ said in between her sobs.
"I know sweetie, but we haven't. So don't worry too much. She is going to be fine, she's strong and won't give up so easily."
The doctor walked into the waiting room, "Anyone here for an Emily Prentiss?"
JJ stood up immediately. Hotch also stood up. "How is she?" Hotch asked.
"She made it through the surgery. She was lucky the knife hadn't gone through or sliced something up in her abdomen otherwise I would be standing here delivering different news," said the doctor.
"Can we visit her?" JJ asked.
"Yes, she should be waking up by now, but she can only have one visitor, so you have to decide who goes in. She is in room 127."
They were all looking at each other thinking who was going to go in. "I think it's best if you go in JJ," Hotch said.
"Thanks Hotch," JJ walked to Emily's room and took a seat in the chair next to the bed. She grabbed her hand and started talking to her.
"Hey sweetie you've got to wake up. The team is outside and they can't wait to see you." Emily's eye's started opening.
"What's with the puffy red eyes?" Emily asked.
"Oh god. Em you're awake," JJ gave a soft kiss on her lips.
"I hope I get a kiss every time I wake up and you're there," Emily said while trying to crack a smile.
"Scare me to death like that again and you won't get a thing," JJ promised.
"How is your head?" Emily asked touching the stitches on JJ's head.
"It's okay. Doesn't hurt. It's nothing compared to you," JJ said with a little sadness.
A nurse came into the room and started to check if everything was still good.
"How long do I have to stay here?" Emily asked the nurse.
"Just for the night, but when you go home you have to rest a lot and you can't go to work for 2 weeks. Do you have any more questions?" The nurse asked.
"No that's it, thank you," answered Emily and the nurse went to finish her shift.
"The team is waiting to come and see you, so I'm going to let them get their turn."
"Thanks JJ. You don't have to feel guilty, okay? It's not your fault. You know that, right? Will you come back again when everyone gets their turn?"
"I know. I will so see you in a bit." JJ gave a kiss on Emily's forehead and told the rest they could visit one by one.
As the evening went on everyone got to pay a visit to Emily. Everyone was relieved that she was doing well. JJ walked into the room one more time to say goodbye to Emily.
"I'm going to go home and get some sleep, and you look like you need some sleep as well. Do you want me to bring you some clothes tomorrow for when I pick you up?"
"To what do I own the pleasure to being picked up by you?"
"Well because I'm your girlfriend and Hotch gave me a week off."
"So we're girlfriends?"
"Only if you want to. I don't want to put you under pressure I…"
"JJ, I would love to be your girlfriend."
"Wow, that's good." JJ gave Emily a kiss but Emily kissed JJ back and tongues were running into each other's mouths while JJ moaned. They parted their lips and all Emily could do was smile.
"Instead of going to your place, why don't you sleep at mine? Then it's easier, you won't have to go to my place in the morning to get my clothes. You can sleep longer," Emily said.
"Are you sure?"
"Why wouldn't I be? I know I can trust my girlfriend not to steal anything," Emily said laughing.
"Very funny, Emily."
"Just take the key from my bag."
JJ grabbed the keys and gave Emily one last goodnight kiss before going to Emily's condo to get some sleep.
Sometimes there are no words. No clever quotes to neatly sum up what's happened that day... sometimes the day... just... ends
