Thanks for all the follows and favorites, guys, and a special thanks to CM Emily Fan, storybrookegrrl, PatternOfDarkness and tc3po95 for leaving a review at the last chapter. I'm sorry for not updating earlier, but due to moving I haven't been able to access my documents until now, nevertheless, I hope you enjoy the chapter, even though it's a shorter one than usual.


"The prostitute is not, as feminists claim, the victim of men, but rather their conqueror, an outlaw, who controls the sexual channels between nature and culture." - Camille Paglia


"How dare you to be so unresponsible, Jennifer. You didn't even wear a vest, we know there was a big chance that he was armed. We're just lucky he surrendered without further ado" Emily tells JJ angrily as soon as the door closes behind them. The tension during the flight back home and in the car was suffocating.

"How dare I? How dare you! You did no better than I. It wasn't like you wore a vest to protect yourself and we also didn't expect beforehand that either of us would have to come into action" JJ shoots back raising her voice slightly and both of them are glad that Henry is at Penelope's.

Emily looks at JJ frustrated, because her argument was countered so quickly. Both are quiet for a moment gathering the sitations in which they could blame each other for being careless. Sadly enough, the thinking about recklessness only adds fuel to the fire. Emily is the first to bring another situation up "Maybe I didn't as well this time, but how about Hankle, neither you nor Reid wore a vest"

"And exactly how careful were you when you stepped into that barn and didn't even sweep it, which allowed you to eventually get knocked out?" JJ fires back, not backing down the slightest. If Emily is going to play dirty, she'll do that as well.

"I was trying to help you" Emily shouts back, frustrated that JJ doesn't seem to get her point.

JJ is equally frustrated with Emily for not getting the point she's trying to get across and she decides to use a more direct way "How exactly were you trying to help me when you broke up with me?"

"I tried to keep you safe"

"And how about keeping yourself safe?" JJ asks Emily, but she isn't rewarded with an answer as Emily's phone rings.

Emily takes out her phone and shows the screen to JJ who nods in consent for Emily to answer her phone during their fight.

"Is Matthew okay?" she asks immediately, not knowing another reason for him to call her.

"I'll be there in fifteen" Emily says as she hangs up. She looks at JJ with a sorrowful look which also carries the tiniest hint of fear "I have to go, Jen. He asked me to meet him at the bar, because he doesn't want to tell me over the phone"

JJ nods "Go" she tells Emily "But we will finish this later"

Emily nods and grabs her coat, seeing the rain outside, and her keys. She walks to the door, but before she opens it she turns around "I love you"

"I love you too" JJ tells her, both being sincere. When they got together they made the agreement to never walk out without saying those three magic words. Their jobs have shown them how sudden life can end and, no matter what happens, they love each other, but you can never say that enough.


Exactly fifteen minutes later Emily arrives at the bar. She takes a moment to gather the courage to brave the downpour, before leaving the safety of her car.


"You don't pay a prostitute for sex, you pay her to leave afterwards." - Dashiell Hammett


I hope that you guys like the way we're diving more into the home life of JJ and Emily, even though it was due to a fight this time. But we all have to keep in mind that no relationship is perfect, not even here on fanfiction. No worries though, they willl make up soon, I promise.

I have also gotten a few questions on how I choose the quotes I use. To be honest, I just use the quotes that are used in the episode the chapter is based on, which is also the reason why not all chapters have quotes (if it isn't based on a episode or when I've split up the episode in multiple chapters) and why sometimes the quotes don't fit that well (for example in this chapter). But I always like the quotes they use in the episodes and I feel like it's a significant part of the episodes, so I decided to use them in my stories as well.

One last thing, if you have some time feel free to leave a review, I love hearing your thoughts on the chapter and story!
