We find AJ climbing a fire escape to the top of an abandoned apartment, a duffel bag slung over his back with a file in his hand. He glanced around when he heard a cat meow, but smiled when he saw it. Its body was amber with a few spots of black and all four legs were black as well. Its right ear had a piece missing, most likely from another cat in an alley way. Two big yellow eyes stared at him and AJ stared back. He got on the roof and kneeled as he inched towards the cat, his hand ready on his custom pistol.
"Hey buddy, I ain't going to hurt ya" Spoke AJ as he inched closer and closer until he was a couple inches away. He reached out his hand, but stopped just an inch or so from the cats face. The cat tilted its face and meowed. "It's okay" Whispered AJ. He laughed a bit as the cat nudged his hand and then started to lick his fingers. Picking him up AJ went to the little door on top of the roof. He put the cat down and then tossed his duffel bag beside and heaved his heavy self up and over. He rolled onto his back and laughed a bit as the cat laid down on his belly.
"What shall I name you?" He said, looking straight into the cats eyes. "How bout Sky?" The cat purred in agreement. "Good, now if you'll excuse me" He picked up Sky and set him down as he pulled over his duffel bag as he opened up the file in his hands. In there was a picture of a man.
He had dirty blonde hair with brown eyes. On the right side of his neck was a sword and on the left a cross. At the bottom of the page was the name of the person. "Lt Dan Long of the British Secret Service," AJ said to himself as he pulled out a case from the bag. "I'll let you speak a bit, but then your mine." He opened up the case and sighed in satisfaction. "Hello old friend" AJ spoke as he took out everything.
A sky grey barrel, a black suppressor, a 10 round magazine and a charcoal grey frame. He put the parts together and smiled as he placed the weapon on his duffel. It was his custom sniper rifle that he had gotten when he moved to Ireland. A .338 Lupua Magnum calibre AWM L115A3 sniper rifle, like the one used by Corpal Craig Harison for the longest kill shot in history. His was unique in that it was a hybrid of the bolt action and semi auto. It took five in the clip and one in the chamber. But, with a push of the safety, it turned into the semi auto 10 in the clip, one in the chamber. On the side of the frame was engraved "Forever & Always" In a gothic style font. When he was in the Irish Forces, his unit was the only unit that used the AWM L115A3 for there snipers. Those being himself and two others. The three of them liked the feel and movement better then the AI 96 Sniper.
He smiled as Sky jumped into his lap. "Now, we wait" He said, petting the cat. "She had better make that call from the window room" AJ uttered under his breath.

==In SUV==
The whole team was silent as they drove pass the calming sea.
"Do you wanna hear it from me?" JJ whispered. Reid looked to his right as he was in the middle of JJ and Brittney in the backseat.
"If you want to," Reid said. "It's your choice" JJ nodded as she looked out the window.
"We didn't mean for it to happen, it just did," she whispered. "I was 13 and he was 12, when we took this." She pulled out the photo of her and AJ in front of the playground. She handed it to Reid as he took it gently, careful not to tare or bend it. "It was the day that we found out our mother was dieing...we didn't mean it, we didn't mean for any of it." She sniffled her sobs as she retold the tale, like it was happening now.
Flashback JJ's POV
"When we found out 'bout mom, we both ran to the one place we both felt safe..."
"She cant die" I whispered as Anthony held me, his head buried in my hair. We where sitting in the sandbox, we used to build castles and draw hearts with our names when we where younger.
"She won't Jen, she's as stubborn as you." Anthony told me chuckling at his own little joke. I laughed a bit at him trying to calm me, but it didn't work.
I cried and cried some more till I couldn't anymore. I picked up my head as I sniffled a bit, "Sorry" patting the small wet spot I made.
Anthony chuckled, "Even older siblings need a shoulder to cry on." He looked into my eyes and me his. "We didn't mean for it to happen, even if people thought otherwise. If not for our eyes and skin, people would've thought we where together or would be, but we weren't. Not 'till then."
"Our lips found each other and we leaned in, wanting more and wanting it now." He stopped the kiss just as soon as it started. He rested his forehead against mine and smiled. "You've no idea how long I wanted to do that" He told me. I just smiled and pecked him.
End Flashback
"After that, we snuck around with a few dates at the movies" JJ said. "As we got older, our dates got sweeter." Brittany patted her best friends shoulder in comfort.
"I helped them out," Britt whispered. "Made sure no one knew anything, helped set up things." She sighed as she hung her head. "Apparently daddy Jareau found out cause Anthony was in a crash when he was 16, and the SUV that hit him had Interpol plates." JJ nodded when Reid looked at her.
"I recognized the plate numbers Reid" JJ whispered. "I knew it was my father or a buddy of his". Reid gave JJ the photo then pulled her into a hug. "A few weeks after he was discharged from the hospital, he left and I haven't heard from him since then."
Reid whispered, "'Till now." JJ nodded as Hotch and Justin glanced at each other in the front seat.
