Chapter XXVIII

Emily knelt beside the body of a masked SWAT officer and pressed two fingers against his neck. Her anger flared as she found no pulse once again. Bullets flew left and right, shattering vases and mirrors and destroying furniture as they went. From where she was crouched, Emily could see JJ hunched over behind an overturned couch, exchanging shots with what they believed to be three of Hail's men.

"Emily!" JJ's scream drew her attention and the brunette spun just in time to shoot her sneaky would-be killer in the head. The man dropped heavily and nearly landed on top of her. He clearly wasn't sneaky enough. JJ exhaled in relief as she saw the man fall and her friend remain unscathed. The brunette nodded her thanks in her direction before scanning the room briefly. She placed two fingers up, signaling that she could see the remaining two men hiding. JJ nodded and glanced in the direction of the other room where Morgan, Reid, Hotch and Rossi were taking heavier fire. If the women could clear this room, then they could circle around and take care of the threats against the rest of their team without ever crossing their line of fire. A single curt nod later, both women tucked and rolled out of their hiding spots and surprised the remaining two men in their room with bullets to the head and neck. Neither man saw it coming. Without a word, they turned and wove their way through the littered room and into the next one. They spotted another two men, one reloading and the other checking to see if he could spot one of the agents. Silently, the women tiptoed directly behind them and pressed the barrel of their guns to each head.

"Drop it." Emily ordered the two. They could hear their team come out from their cover and approach them, guns raised and ready to kill either man if they dared moved against their teammates.

"You don't have to die. Just put your guns down." JJ's calm voice explained. For a brief moment, it looked as if the men might obey until they glanced at one another and came to some sort of agreement. With surprising speed, they spun on their heels and tried to knock the guns at their heads away. Both women knew not to fire as the rest of the team stood only a few feet behind the men, but held onto their weapons nonetheless. They stumbled and turned to meet their targets as six shots were fired into the air and three bodies fell to the ground.


Sorry for the shortness, there was just no way to NOT leave it there! Review for a speedy update!
