"This is bullshit!" Morgan shouted, picking up the nearest object and flinging it towards the wall.

The glass shattered loudly, making Emily & Reid jump at the offending sound.
"Derek." Warned Hotch.
"No! No this is just...You knew!" He said angrily, pointing an accusing finger in JJ's direction. "The entire time we've been here, you knew! & you haven't said one damned thing, not one. & now 8 people are dead because of you!"
"AGENT MORGAN THAT IS ENOUGH!"

Hotch's sudden outburst caused the entire room to fall into deep silence. The room was so quiet he could swear you'd be able to hear a pin drop, though he knew if he voiced that opinion Reid would have something to say about it. Even the clatter of Garcia's fingers across her keyboard had stopped.
The tension could be cut with a knife.
Rossi was the first to speak.

"I think we all need to sit down, calm down & have a professional discussion about what we do now."
Morgan breathed in deeply, teeth tightly clenched. He seemed to be the only one who could voice his current emotions so easily, the rest of the team still appeared to be in shock.
"You do know you could be arrested for withholding critical evidence." Morgan seethed.
"That's not discussing anything professionally Derek, sit down." Said Rossi, motioning to a chair.
Morgan grabbed the nearest seat and flung himself heavily down into it, the rest of the team following his actions and seating themselves quietly.
JJ meanwhile, hadn't uttered a word.

Once everyone was seated, Hotch sat himself and turned towards JJ.
"Talk. Now." He demanded.
She sat still, unmoving. She didn't even blink.
Instead she stared blankly back at Hotch, her facial features giving away no clue as to what was going on in her mind.
"Jennifer, I suggest you tell us what we need to know. In a matter of hours someone else may die. I know you don't want that to happen." Rossi said gently.
No emotion. Nothing.

Emily stood and knelt before JJ. Picking up her hand and stroking it soothingly, Emily joined in on the unwanted interrogation on their friend.
"Did he hurt you? Or threaten you? Did he threaten us? It's okay sweetie, no matter what happened, you know we'll protect you right? You can tell us anything."
"Emily's right" Garcia added. "Whoever it was, we'll get him Jay, you don't need to be scared, just tell us so we can help you."

JJ swiftly pulled her hand out of Emily's grasp. Emily looked up, hurt flashing across her eyes. She frowned slightly but stayed where she was. Whatever was going on, her friend was hurting and she was going to be there for her, whether JJ wanted her there or not.

"You've got it all wrong." JJ whispered.
"What? The profile?" Reid asked, shock evident in his voice.
"No. Him. You've got him all wrong. He's not bad."
"Our UnSub? Our UnSub's not bad? He kills people for a living JJ, I'd class that as pretty bad!" Morgan shot back.
JJ breathed in deeply, there was really no point in explaining, they wouldn't understand. She couldn't give him up. She just couldn't.

"He thinks he's doing something right doesn't he? By killing these men. He thinks he's giving those women justice by ending the lives of those who hurt them." Emily asked, pretty certain she was now on the right track.
JJ said nothing, but lowered her gaze to the floor.

"We need a name JJ" Hotch said.
"I can't tell you." She replied.
"Yes you can, you're just choosing not to."
"I can't." JJ repeated.
"Damn it Jay, you can't just leave this guy to go around shooting people! What the hell is the matter with you! You need to tell us his name!" Morgan said, his annoyance at the situation obvious as the volume of his voice began to rise yet again.
"I told you I can't!"
"Jennifer..." started Rossi.
"Please, I can't, I'm sorry!" JJ whispered back.

"You're his friend." Reid stated simply from the back of the room. "That's why you won't tell us. He didn't threaten you. Chances are you've not even seen or spoken to him during this case. But you've met him before & you class him as a friend. That's why you've not mentioned anything about the UnSub this entire case."

The team clicked into the realisation that what Reid was saying made total sense.
"Jay.." Began Emily
"I can't Emily. I'm sorry but I can't." Tears began to brim in JJ's sea blue eyes, this was killing her.
Hotch saw this and honestly did feel for her. He couldn't say that put in the same situation, he wouldn't do exactly the same.
"So what do we do now." Rossi asked no one in particular, rubbing his forehead slowly.

"Um, guys." Garcia interrupted. With all that was going on, the team had completely forgotten that Garcia was still on speaker.
"What is it." Hotch said tiredly.
"I'm so sorry Jay. But, I think I've found the UnSub."

Oh dear. Dun Dun Dunnn. ^.^ Bai! x
