A/N – yay REVIEWS! Thanks everyone, I will try to keep it up and not wait months and months to update. Any waking moment I can spare, I actually have been spending on coming up with ways for this story to go, I have to admit each chapter I write has gone through quite a number of scenarios which is awesome, I hope I choose the one people are liking the most. ^_^
CHAPTER 20.2
JJ POV
The rest of the day was a craze fest, there were so many reports coming across the table, with the summer hitting its peak it seemed that cases across the country were too. A lot of them I was able to pass to the team to work out general profiles. I was in the bullpen dropping more stacks on everyone's desks, in response grunts and glares of disbelief were thrown all around, when I reached Emily's desk she was nowhere to be found, I scanned the crowd a second time, everyone seemed too busy to even notice.
Pouting I left a few more files on her desk and made my way back to the office, too busy to be able to linger on it any longer. The more I trudged through the pile the more exhausted I got and the more my mind wandered back to the events earlier this morning. Any time I gave my eyes a break I caught myself looking out the office window to the same vacant office chair.
It was the same by the time lunch came around, not wanting to get the brunette in any trouble I forewent mentioning it to anyone. Rubbing my temples, I looked up at the clock. I had already worked away half my lunch break. I decided to set a pile as a goal for the day and decided on just grabbing a sandwich from across the street, as much as I needed a break, I couldn't let this pile up if a case came along.
I had just about finished eating when my phone announced a message from Hotch. It looked like a mass text message to the team 'Emergency team meeting head back to the office'. Glancing out the bull pen, everyone was still out to lunch, everyone would be scrambling back for this. I quickly cleaned up what I could, and headed over Hotch's office.
I knocked on the door twice and entered skipping the formalities, considering the urgency of the text. Hotch was still looking down at his desk. "Hey…is everything ok?", he glanced up "Hi JJ, yeh we just got a high profile case come across my desk, could you pass by the fax, I'll be presenting the case", "Yeh, sure" I replied, with that he got up and started to prepare a couple of files.
I headed for the fax machine across the pen, reaching for the paper I half noticed Emily come into the office and follow me, "Hey, I got the emergency text, do you know what is going on?", grabbing the paper I turned to answer her "uh no, I was just picking this up before heading to the conference…room" I stuttered slightly looking down at the fax. I quickly recovered and looked back up at her, "well…" Emily looked slightly disappointed; not at me or my response, but at her phone which looked like she was frustrated with a message. She turned her attention to me "…well I'll see you in the conference room then" she said blatantly and walked off. I looked back down at the paper in hand, it was a CIA profile sheet with a picture of the woman I had seen with Emily early this morning.
A/N – okay I know it is short, and it is quite a tease, but a lot happened right? The next one might be short as well, only because it breaks well in the story at these points. I will try to not to take long to update between them because they are shorter chapters. Please review ^_^
