I knew it wouldn't take me long to get back here. I'm just going to get straight into this chapter... No long AN like usual...

Enjoy and review!

The team stood around the phone shocked, not believing what they had just heard. It was like with Derek all over again, one of their own being convicted for something they clearly never did.

"What do they have against her?" Rossi asked, knowing it had to be solid for them to arrest an FBI agent.

"They said she had two of the murder weapons in her safe and that she matches a profile Hotch sent them" Hotch froze, going over the profile in his head. She is female, would deny the murders, high end job. I basically sent them after JJ.

"How did they manage to link JJ to the profile?" He asked, everyone seeing the regret behind his mask.

"Apparently after the traced the bullets found in the last victim it matched her gun. And there was supposedly a knife in her safe but I think I would have saw that this morning when I got my gun and badge out"

"The only thing we can go on right now is that she is being framed. We know JJ wouldn't do this so we work this case until further notice. Derek, you, Rossi and me are going to stay at the station and help out there as much as possible. Penelope I want you to dig into the victim's lives as much as possible. Try and find any connection whether it is through a coffee shop or they bought the same cereal I don't care, I just want a connection. Reid, I want you and Emily to go to the coroner's office and go over all the murder victim's bodies" Everyone nodded, Penelope leaving to her office, Reid and Emily following as they made their way to the elevator. Penelope gave Emily a hug, the pair treasuring the hold.

"Get our girl out of this okay?" Penelope whispered, knowing the team would do whatever they could to fix this.

"As long as you help me" Emily laughed back, though it wasn't as wholehearted as she would have liked it to be. Penelope nodded into her neck, giving Reid a reassuring nod before clicking her way to her office; her heals still being heard as she rounded the corner to her office. Reid called for the elevator, the pair disappearing behind the steel doors, linking hands just as the doors shut.

"Derek is Olivia with you?" Rossi asked as he and Hotch walked to their offices to grab their things.

"Yeah she doesn't want to leave" Hotch shook his head with a smirk. She was just as stubborn as her mom.

"Okay, it's probably best that she stays with us anyway. Someone is framing JJ and we still don't know the motives behind it yet. She is safer with us that anywhere else. If it starts becoming too much for her I'll send her to stay with Penelope. Make it clear she has to stay positive or I'll put her in a chock hold all the way to Pen" Hotch said, hearing Olivia scoff in the background.

"I'm shaking" Rossi laughed, glad she could still stay her old self during the stressing times.

"We are on our way. We will be with you in 15" They hung up, leaving out the bullpen. 15 minutes later they walked into the police department, spotting Derek and Olivia in a room off the side of the busy precinct. They walked towards the room, an officer approaching them with a frown.

"Can I help you?" They pulled out their badges, the officer looking at them with a nod.

"We are SSA Hotchner and Rossi" He shook their hands, standing boldly against them.

"I am Officer Jones, the lead officer on Miss Jareau's case"

"I would like to see agent Jareau if you don't mind" Hotch said, the man nodding as he showed Rossi into Derek and Olivia, telling Hotch to follow him. Hotch went to open the door, the officer hot on his tracks.

"Alone" Hotch spat, the officer growling as he stormed away. Hotch noticed how JJ didn't flinch when the door opened, her head staying between her hands.

"JJ" Her head snapped up. Spotting Hotch she leapt up, wrapping her arms around him as he hugged her back.

"I didn't do this Hotch, you have to believe me something is going on and I don't know what but I promise I didn't do this" She rambled pulling away as he took a seat opposite her.

"JJ of course I believe you, nobody thinks you did this" She nodded, leaning back in her chair.

"Someone must have gotten into my apartment while I was at work this morning. They said they found a knife in my safe. I don't own knives, unless you could the butter ones in my kitchen"

"We think someone is trying to frame you"

"Well the profile seems to fit me down to the last word so I doubt the officers will buy that" She said sadly, Hotch feeling a pang out guilt slap him in the face.

"JJ I am so sorry about that profile" She shook her head with a small smile.

"I know you weren't trying to profile me in anyway, you were just doing your job" He nodded, trying to work up a defence mechanism in his head.

"Where were you when all the murders took place?" He saw worry flash on her features at the question and frowned.

"They all took placed during the hours of 2-4, while we were still at home and not on any cases. For all they know I could have easily left the apartment and come back without Derek or Liv waking, and our apartment block doesn't have security camera's. I already thought of my alibi and a snoring FBI agent isn't going to go well in court" Hotch nodded, knowing she was right.

"We are going to get you out on bail the second we can, and we will all head back to the BAU base and stay there until we can figure this out more. If any more murders are committed you can't be on the list for them and we can start fighting back with the framed idea" She nodded, jumping when the door opened.

"Agent Hotchner I need to ask Miss Jareau some more questions" Officer Jones said, pointedly staring at Hotch. He never backed down.

"I am going to be Jennifer's attorney through this. Anything you have to ask her will be cleared by me" He said forcefully, pulling up a chair next to JJ. Having him next to her calmed her a lot more than when she was questioned alone.

"Fine" He sat down, looking directly at JJ, though she just glared back.

"What happened to your hand?" Jones asked, nodding towards the bandage residing on the blonde's hand.

"I punched a door" She admitted, knowing it was in her medical file for the bureau and lying about how she did it would get her nowhere.

"Do you often have these random outbursts of anger? Could this have gone as far as killing someone who crossed your boundaries? Someone got a little friendly, spoke to you in the wrong tone maybe?" JJ's fists clenched as the man spoke, shaking her head vigorously at him.

"My anger is very much in control thank you Officer Jones" She shot back, the man smirking as he looked down at his hands.

"These questions are not needed as to the investigation officer" Hotch stated, his anger boiling at the gleam in the man's eyes as JJ shouted at him. He nodded, looking back up to JJ.

"Miss Jareau where were you at 3am on the 3rd of November?"

"In my apartment"

"Do you have anyone to clarify that?"

"No I do not" It was not looking good on JJ's side.

"Can you explain to me why bullets from your FBI issued gun ended up in the back of my last victim?"

"No I cannot" He voice was getting more deflated as the questions went on, knowing her arguments were invalid no matter what the question was.

"Miss Jareau the evidence is all pointing towards you, if you give us a written confession we can tell the court you cooperated and this might lesson your sentence" It was Hotch's turn to speak, leaning forward in his chair.

"If Jennifer says she didn't do it, she didn't do it so she does not have the right to confess to a crime she is innocent of. I want to discuss her bail" This took Jones off guard for a moment. He ushered Hotch out of the room, leaving JJ on her own pondering in her own thoughts. 20 minutes later Hotch entered the room with an officer.

"They have granted you bail" JJ could see the hesitation in his eyes and frowned, watching as the officer approached her and strapped a black band around her ankle.

"Someone has to be with you at all times and the police will be notified if you are more than 10 miles from your house" Still he was holding something back, but she couldn't tell what it was.

"What else?" He sighed, looking down at his well-polished shoes.

"Olivia isn't allowed near you during this time, apparently you are a danger around others and because of her age you have to stay away from her" Hotch saw the heartache in his friends eyes, wrapping her up in a hug.

"It's okay, we will fix this" She nodded against his chest.

"I'm going to be on your first watch so I'll be following the police car to your apartment" The officer lead her out, JJ keeping her head cast down as she spotted some of the team on one end of the precinct. A voice caused her head to snap up, seeing Olivia being held back by Emily as she cried.

"Mom! Dammit let me go to her Emily! Let me go!" JJ felt a tear fall down her face as she was pushed out the door, her daughter's voice growing distant as the door shut behind them.

"Emily why can't I see her?" She sobbed, Emily falling to the floor with the broken teen.

"You aren't allowed right now, it's against the rules of her bail" She said, Olivia continuing to cry into her chest. This was so messed up; the whole situation was just a mess. Emily looked up to Derek who was arguing with Hotch, Rossi holding the man back as Hotch walked away. Everyone stood in silence, trying to figure out what to do next. That's the thing, they didn't know. They didn't know what to do or where to start. The only evidence they had pointed to JJ.
