{flashback}

Reid walked into his living to find JJ on the couch. She was sitting quietly, the dark blue blanket covering her snuggly.

"Hey." He said walking over. She looked up and watched him sit beside her.

She offered a small smile,"Hi."

"You okay?" He asked with concern. She didn't answer right away. But once she did, she asked a question.

"Can you promise me something?" She asked.

He nodded,"anything." He whispered. A louder tone really wasn't needed, their distance was very great.

"Promise we'll always be friends. That we'll never let things come between us." She explained.

His lips pressed together in a simple smile. He wrapped his arm around her, her head resting on his shoulder. He placed a gentle kiss to her head,"I promise." He whispered.

Hotch was in his office, filling out paperwork when he heard a knock at his door.

He looked up,"You're not suppose to be back till tomorrow." He said.

"I know," JJ said,"But I'm ready to come back. I think it'll be good for me."

He sighed,"Stay out of the field." He said. Knowing there was no way he could convince her to stay home another day.

She nodded,"Thank you sir." She said before leaving.

"JJ." He called before she completely left. She popped her head back in quick

"Glad you're back." He smiled his rare small smile. JJ grinned.

As she walked back out into the bullpen she ran into the rest of the team.

"Oh my gosh you're back!" Garcia smiled as she pulled her friend into an embrace,"I missed you too." JJ laughed.

"Welcome back." Morgan smiled

"Thanks Derek." She smiled

"I thought you coming back tomorrow?" Emily questioned.

"I was. But I think coming back, getting some work done, will be good for me."

Emily smiled.

The day was slow. Everybody had gone home. Hotch, Emily, Rossi, Morgan, Reid, JJ and Garcia were the only ones still in the building. JJ was at her desk putting paperwork into their files, her back to the door. She didn't even hear the footsteps. She jumped as a hand came to her mouth.

"Don't move." An all too familiar, deep voice warned as a blade came to her throat. He turned her body around, and they exited the room.
