AN: I'm so sorry that I haven't been updating lately. I'm getting ready to start university this week so the updates might be slow. The good thing is my courses are few and fear apart so I will have some down time in-between classes so I might have time to write and update. I will try my very hardest! Anyway, I hope everyone likes this chapter and thank you for sticking with me :)

When Emily walked through the parking garage she spotted JJ waiting for her by the elevators, just like she said she would.

When she approached her she said. "Hey JJ, you weren't waiting long were you?"

"No, I just got here." JJ assured as they stepped into the elevator.

They rode the elevator in silence.

"Let's get this over with." JJ said as they walked out of the elevator.

The party was being held in the bullpen even though it wasn't really the center of the office and not nearly all the staff worked there, it was just simply the biggest and most open room on the floor.

Emily and JJ walked through the big glass doors and were met with people. Lots and lots of people. Everywhere.

"Let's make the best of this." Emily said to JJ. "The way we talk about it, it makes it sound like were getting root canals at this party."

"We might as well be." JJ muttered under her breath.

"Anyway, I think it could be fun."

"Whatever you say." JJ said, not believing her. "I'm going to go find Will, I'll catch up with you later."

Emily nodded and JJ went off to find Will.

Emily surveyed the room and quickly located the booze and made a b-line for it.

She said hello's to people she thought she knew as she passed by them and finally got herself a glass of wine. She took a sip and looked around the room again. She looked at the men in suits and the women in dresses, although none as short as hers.

She was starting to have second thoughts about her dress choice but before she could think about it too much she heard someone whistle behind her.

She smiled before turning around, she knew who it was right away.

"Hey Morgan." She said as she turned around to face him.

"Damn Mama, you look like a million bucks." Morgan said, as he looked her up and down. It should have been awkward but it was Morgan after all, he was hardly ever serious.

"You don't think it's too short?" Emily asked while she subconsciously pulled on the him of her dress.

Morgan paused before leaning it to whisper. "Between you and me princess, I don't think it's short enough."

Emily laughed with Morgan and started an actual conversation with him until someone Emily didn't recognize pulled him away.

So once again she was alone. She went to get more wine and just decided to stay next to the bar. The wine was good, not cheap, although it rarely was at these parties.

After an hour and quite a few more glasses Emily was starting to feel a little tipsy. Which was good but she could tell so were some of the other people because they were getting loud.

Emily hated people who were loud and obnoxious when they were drunk. She was starting to get a headache and she couldn't enjoy the buzz she had. She filled up her glass once again and went looking for JJ, which was more difficult then she thought.

Finally Emily saw her on the catwalk with Will and one of the men he worked with.

When she started walking up the catwalk Will was the only one that could see her coming. He looked her up and down and winked at her, she blushed a little.

"Hey guys." Emily said when she got close to them.

"Oh hey Em, I was just going to look for you." JJ said, turning to Emily. "Will and his friend here were just starting to talk about something extra boring." The four of them laughed even though they all knew she wasn't kidding.

Emily looked at Will's friend. He was tall, had dark hair and seemed to be pretty fit. Her staring didn't go unnoticed by Will but he kept his mouth shut.

"Emily." She said simply as she extended her hand out.

"I'm Jason." He replied shaking her hand. His voice was so deep it made Emily melt. She didn't know what it was about men with deep voices, she just loved it.

"I've heard a lot about you from Will, actually." Jason said, probably as a conversation starter but it made Emily's heart race.

"Oh, really? All good things I hope." Emily said trying to keep herself calm on the outside.

"Of course." He said, leaning on the rail and looking out at the crowd of people.

As Emily calmed herself down JJ and Will excused themselves to get some drinks. As they walked away Emily sent JJ a death glare, she did not want to be alone with this guy.

"So this party is a drag, isn't it?" Jason asked, breaking the silence.

"Yeah." Emily answered, she had no idea what to say to this guy.

"Are you ok? You seem a little nervous." Jason asked turning to her, no longer leaning on the rail.

"Yeah I'm fine just tired, that's all." Emily said looking up at him, to reassure him she was telling the truth.

Jason didn't really believe her but decided to let it go. "Ok, just checking." He said flashing her a smile. She returned one, but only to be polite.

The conversation was a little easier after that, and they talked about work and made jokes about the people below them making fools of themselves. Emily was starting to have a good time and she was laughing and joking with Jason, who turned out to be very nice. But after a bit him charm was starting to wear thin.

Soon Emily's head started to hurt. It was probably from the massive amount of loud drunk people who had just figured out how to make the music come through the speakers throughout the office.

Of course Emily forgot to bring any Advil so she excused herself and left Jason to find JJ.

Thankfully she wasn't far. "Hey JJ and Will."

"Hey Em, having fun?" JJ asked suggestively.

"We're in a public place JJ, can't have that much fun." Emily and JJ laughed at her joke but Will did not.

Emily could tell he did not like the fact that she had been flirting with one of his best friends. The irony. Emily didn't care though because she was sure if Will asked JJ, she probably wouldn't like the fact that he was fucking one of her best friends.

"Do you have any Advil? I'm starting to get a headache." Emily explained.

"Sorry, I don't I ran out the other day." JJ admitted. "Did you check Rossi's office, he usually has some."

"No I didn't I forgot about that, I'll go check in a minute."

"If you would excuse me ladies." Will said raising his empty glass in the air as he walked away.

"So how's it going with Will tonight?" Emily asked when Will disappeared in the crowd.

"Great. He really likes the dress and he's been very sweet." JJ said smiling.

Emily smiled back at her. "Good, I'm glad he's back to his old self again."

They watched the crowd for a minute before Emily really couldn't take it anymore.

"JJ, I'm sorry to leave you but I have to go and get something for my head." Emily said.

"It's fine, go." JJ assured, shooing her away. "If anyone wonders where you are I'll tell them what's up."

"Thanks JJ." Emily said as she disappeared into the crowd on her way to Rossi's office.

When she got to the door she was thankful that it was unlocked. It was a little strange that it was she thought, usually he locks it when they have these parties.

She walked in the office and was overwhelmed with joy at the slight silence. She closed the door, not bothering to lock it and started looking for the Advil. She opened one of the drawers in Rossi's desk where it usually was and found it there, in all its glory.

She took two from the bottle and put it back in his desk. She stood up straight and went to take them but she realized she only had wine to take them with. Of course.

She sighed before stiffening when she heard someone behind her.

"Need this?" A voice asked as a cup of water appeared by her right side.

AN: Is it Will or Jason? Who knows? Well I do but I don't really count.
