A/N: So I wrote this little chapter before speech class while listening to Flyleaf: Enemy the beginning song of Risky Business. I'm still not sure where I'm going with this but as I write I'll figure it out, that's usually how it goes, my hand just takes all the ideas and forms them. As always, I own nothing.
The team was home by 1 o'clock on Tuesday and Hotch had them stay until 4 to see if he could talk Strauss into letting the team have a few days off. JJ spent the few hours finishing paper work in her office while Emily, Morgan, and Reid finished their reports at their respective desks. JJ decided to text Emily to see if she could get a smile out of the serious brunette.
Ten bucks Hotch only gets us 2 days off max. BTW u look beautiful today =). JJ
Emily felt her phone vibrate in her pocket notifying her of the incoming text. The screen read JJ and that's all it took to put a smile on her face.
Two days huh? I can think of only one way to spend those two days. But if you're wrong, you owe me dinner. BTW u look beautiful every day. Prentiss.
JJ smiled at the reply and sent a thank you back. Once JJ had finished her report she decided to go down to the tech room to see how Garcia was doing. She was sure she'd get bombarded with questions like Emily had with Morgan and Reid on the jet. JJ had put her iPod on shuffle and sat back to enjoy her girlfriend get interrogated by the men of the team.
'Hey angel, business or pleasure?" Garcia asked as JJ walked in the room.
"Hey Pen, pleasure today. Did you hear Hotch is trying to get us all some time off? Jack's turning five tomorrow and he says we're exhausted. He's right too, I could use some time to not look at case files," JJ explained. She was mentally spent from the amount of case files she had pass her desk in the last six months. It had been six months since their last "vacation" which had only lasted five days until a case had come needing their help.
"And I bet you'd like to spend a little time with a certain brunette FBI agent?" Garcia asked slyly.
"Haha, well yeah that too, but seriously, we haven't had time off in six months, and Hotch could use some time with his son, being that his fifth birthday is tomorrow," JJ laughed. Garcia spent a good 30 minutes asking the details of JJ and Emily's relationship until JJ got a text saying, "Hotch wants to talk to us in 5 minutes," from Morgan.
"Hey Hotch wants to talk to us in five minutes. If he gives us more than 2 days off, I owe Emily dinner, but that's one bet I'd be willing to lose," JJ laughed. She hoped they would have the next three days off which would set them at the weekend and as long as no cases arrived that would mean five days away from the BAU.
Garcia and JJ made their way to the bullpen to notice that everyone was waiting in the conference room. Oh no, not a case. JJ thought to herself as they entered the conference room.
"Ok guys, I somehow got Strauss to give us the rest of the week off, including the weekend, if and only if, no serious cases arrive. This means I will see you Monday hopefully not sooner, but keep your phones on. JJ and Emily if I could talk to you in my office for a minute before you leave," Hotch announced to the team. 5 days off? I hope no case arrives. Shit, why does Hotch have to talk to both of us? JJ and Emily thought to themselves.
In Hotch's office, he asked them to take a seat which made both women nervous.
"I discussed with Strauss, don't worry there's no problems there. I know she isn't a big fan of Emily's though so you two need to be on best behavior here at work because she will find anything to try and cause trouble. Now, on another hand, I don't know if there's even something to worry about, but we may have a problem that could shorten our little vacation. This morning I came upon a file on my desk sent to me anonymously. What appear in this file are pictures of you two both, separately of course, but it may be cause for concern. For that matter, I want you both in one location, Emily stay at JJ's or JJ stay at Emily's, either way. I want you to keep in contact me, text me, call me, I don't care and if anything suspicious is to arise do not hesitate to call local authorities first. And stay armed when you go out, I don't want anything to happen to either of you while we are on a break," Hotch explained. This worried JJ more than ever. Why? Why when we are just getting to be happy? What do they want? She thought. It was going to be an odd break if they were going to be on their toes the entire time. Maybe we'll just stay in the entire time, but we'll have to go out sometime. Emily thought.
"Yes sir. We'll keep in touch. Tell Jack happy birthday for us," Emily said as they walked out of his office.
"Em, you can stay at my place, but let's run to yours real quick so you can get everything you need," JJ said squeezing Emily's hand as they walked to their cars.
This vacation was definitely going to be different.
