I'm disappointed by the lack of reviews. I am sorry but it's the truth. With that said I am not going to continue to punish the people who do review and don't get an immidiate chapter afterwards. I really just wish people would review because it makes it sound like I am actually writing to people and not just for myself. I'm going to finish up the IIB involvement pretty soon for this story. It'll be over soon I just thought that there should be closure. Once the IIB is done with, I can focus more on Emily and JJ. Also this story is going to have at least two more sequals and a prequal if you want one. Let me know. Without further delay, here is another chapter on the way.

Chapter 9-Loophole

"Let's get one thing clear. I am not here to tech you law-I am here to teach you loopholes." Catherine Jinks

"Agent Jareau." Agent Jareau says as she picks up her ringing cell phone.

"Agent Jareau? Lieutenant Hunter. Samantha is being taken to the FBI headquarters in Quantico. Get Agent Hotchner there ASAP." The Lieutenant orders.

"Knowing Hotch, he's probably still there." Agent Jareau says.

"Either way, let him know. We are getting this over with once and for all."

"Yes sir."

"Who was that?" Agent Prentiss asks as Agent Jareau hangs up the phone and starts scrolling through her contacts.

"Lieutenant Hunter. I need to call Hotch." Agent Hotchner picks up his phone after the second ring.

"Hotchner."

"Hotch, JJ, Captain James is being taken to Quantico. Lieutenant Hunter told me to have you get there ASAP."

"Have her parents been called?" Inquires the unit chief.

"Her parents?" Agent Jareau asks confused.

"She is a minor. She needs to have her parents present during any questioning."

"Does that apply to her?"

"I don't know. I'll look into it. Get some sleep JJ and make sure that Prentiss does too. You have a meeting with the director tomorrow and I won't have it that you two were split up because you fell asleep. That's an order Agent Jareau."

"Yes sir." Agent Jareau says as she hangs up the phone.

"What was that about?" Agent Prentiss asks.

"Hotch asked if her parents had been contacted."

"Why?"

"Because she's a minor."

"But she is an international agent." Agent Prentiss says mimicking Agent Jareau moments earlier.

"Hotch is looking into it. In the meantime Hotch ordered us to get some sleep. We have a big day tomorrow." When Agent Prentiss gives a questioning look Agent Jareau says, "The meeting with the Director."

"Oh yeah." Agent Prentiss says remembering.

"Yeah." Agent Jareau says sarcastically before heading back up to the apartment with Agent Prentiss on her heels.

Captain James looks up to see who just entered the interrogation room. She is shocked to see Agent Hotchner making his way to sit next to her. "Agent Hotchner? What a surprise. Though couldn't you count this as a conflict of interest?"

"Captain, I am your lawyer." Agent Hotchner says bluntly.

"Excuse me?" Captain James says confused. That was not what she was expecting the unit chief for the BAU to say.

"I am your lawyer." Agent Hotchner repeats. "Everything we have is privileged and before you say anything it is privileged because you are being charged with a federal crime and not an international crime. With that said, have your parents been called?"

"Agent Hotchner my parents are dead. They died three years ago." Captain James says sadly but still looks into Agent Hotchner's eyes.

"Captain I am so sorry for your loss. Please forgive my insensitivity." Agent Hotchner says very sincerely.

"You didn't know." Captain James replies bluntly.

Getting the conversation back on track Agent Hotchner says, "We think we have a way for you to become director again."

"What? You lost me again Agent Hotchner."

"I mean, Agent Jareau, Lieutenant Hunter, Commander Davis, and Sergeant Windsman, have all tried to find loopholes for you to be director again and we think we found it." Agent Hotchner answers. Captain James jumps up from her chair and paces the room.

"Hold on a second. Pause for a moment. Let me see if I have this right. You arrested me for assault-" Agent Hotchner interrupts her.

"I didn't arrest you. The FBI did and since I was not the arresting agent I can be your lawyer." Agent Hotchner says smugly.

"Okay so somehow my team and your team managed to get me arrested for assaulting Agent Prentiss just so you could become my lawyer so I could have attorney-client privilege. You did all that so we could talk about me becoming director again." Captain James clarifies.

"Yes that is correct."

"Wow. This is just plain nuts."

"Such a wide vocabulary Captain." Agent Hotchner jokes smiling. Captain James is about to make a remark when the agent who arrested the captain enters the room.

"Are we interested in a deal?" The agent asks.

"I need to speak with my client alone Agent." Agent Hotchner says standing up with his voice full of authority. "Come back later." Once the federal agent left the room Agent Hotchner sits down again. "Sorry about that. Now we think we have a plan."

"You have a plan sir?" Captain James asks skeptically.

"Yes." Agent Hotchner answers, "You see I've been researching everything I could on IIB laws. I also have had Garcia looking through past court cases in the IIB. I think I found something."

"What is that?" Captain James asks intrigued.

"Okay so the law states pertaining to your arrest is, 'Any person affiliated with the International Investigation Bureau and commits assault on a member of a countries government, that person shall surly be suspended pending a trial by the United Nation as well as any further trials held by said country.' Agent Hotchner looks up from the Code of International Justice. "So essentially you assaulted Agent Prentiss and you can be tried by the UN as well as by the US."

"Correct. Agent Hotchner, I don't see how that is helping us."

"You're right it doesn't." Agent Hotchner says smiling. "There are two lesser known laws that will. They are so old I highly doubt even you know about them." Looking back at the book Agent Hotchner says, "The first one states, 'In the matter of distress, an International Investigation Bureau agent must commit acts against the Code of International Justice to save a life if ordered by a member of a countries government who has the authority to do so.'"

"Agent Hotchner, for the record I am well aware of this law. Unfortunately that doesn't apply to me." Captain James informs Agent Hotchner.

"How so?" Agent Hotchner asks confused.

"I was not an agent. I was Captain Samantha James, Director of the IIB. There was not an agent status in me. It's not like the FBI sir, where everyone is an agent. The four heads of the IIB do not have agent status."

"That's where you are wrong Captain." Captain James looks bewildered at what the FBI agent said. "I point to you the definition of the word 'agent' by the IIB." Agent Hotchner looks to book to read the definition aloud. "'Agent: any person affiliated with the International Investigation Bureau who is licensed to carry a weapon, wears the uniform, carries out orders, and has been bound by the Code of International Justice.'" Agent Hotchner looks into the eyes of the Captain. "So you are an agent, Captain James."

"I do not carry out orders set by my superiors Agent Hotchner." Captain James argues.

"It didn't say anything about superiors, which is where everyone gets mistaken. It says 'carries out orders' which you do, ma'am. You carry out the orders sent to you by the UN. You are an agent and therefore when Agent Prentiss ordered you to beat her-"

"I had to beat her or else I would have broken the Code." Interrupts Captain James to which Agent Hotchner smiles.

"How's that for a civilian?" Agent Hotchner jokes.

"Agent Hotchner thank you."

"Please call me Hotch Captain."

"Hotch then. Only if you would please not address me by a title." Captain James begs.

"James then?"

"Fine by me sir. Now when is my trial?" Captain James asks.

"Your trial for the IIB is tomorrow as well as your arraignment for the FBI. Your IIB trial is in the morning and your arraignment is in the afternoon. Once you are dismissed of charges by the IIB Agent Prentiss will not press charges against you in federal court and you'll be free to go." Explains Agent Hotchner as he picks up the files and the Code of International Justice.

"Thank you Agent Hotchner. So much I really appreciate it." Captain James says standing up, shaking the FBI agent's hand.

"No problem but only if you call me Hotch." Agent Hotchner chastises playfully.

"Hotch."

"Good day James."

"Good day Hotch." With that the BAU Unit Chief leaves the room and Captain James is taken back to the holding area.
