Chapter 4
The team chased the UnSub for two days after identifying two nurses from a small private hospital. Lina Huff and Lindsay Lamb believed all orphans needed redemption at a young age to stop warlocks eating their fat. The two women loved fantasy novels. One night believing they had found the mark of the beast emblazoned on the bottom of a 6 month old baby girl. The first victim of the women.
Emily and Morgan had located a suspected entry into the city's sewer system they would use. The two nurses had kidnapped a pair of 3 month old identical twins, the two girls had been found by patrolling NYPD officers in a box with a note. The note read:
'One twin is evil, I can't deal with them. Let the lord judge them.'
Lindsay and Linda now carried the two girls towards a large collection pool in the large city sewer system to baptise them to cleanse their little souls.
Emily flung her shoe off in disgust as her heal broke, she had caught it in a crack in the concrete. Discarding her other shoe she now proceeded in her socks.
"I hear crying from around the corner." Whispered Morgan
Morgan signalled with his finger for Emily to take the right side as the tunnel opened up.
The two agents quietly rounded the corner and found Lindsay and Linda waist deep in the fast flowing sewage with the babies dressed in their white baptism dresses. The two girls continued to scream.
"FBI." Morgan shouted
The two nurses turned their heads in surprise, Linda picked her baby up and walked towards Morgan. Lindsay looked around and lifted her baby and walked towards Emily.
Morgan had Linda in cuffs and the baby in his arms waiting for the remainder of the team to arrive.
Lindsays smirked " Arrest me Agent or save the baby." She launched the baby into the fast flowing water and ran.
Emily quickly entered the fast flowing Sewage and disappeared down the spillway after the innocent baby. She plunged down the spillway into a channel and found the girl at the bottom of the sewage. Quickly lifting the lifeless body out of the sewage she cleared her airway and started giving her C.P.R.
"I need help down here!" Emily yelled
For what seemed like hours to Emily she tried to breath life into the young lady clutched to her chest. Suddenly the baby started breathing shallowly,
"That's my girl." Smiled Emily
She supported her breathing until Hotch and two paramedics splashed down into the sewage.
"Emily are you ok?" Hotch asked
Emily just smiled and to Hotch's Surprise allowed tears to fall down her face in public.
Within 5 minutes the FDNY had helped them all back up to the main pool and out thankfully back out to fresh air.
Elle laughed at the state of Emily and handed her two plastic bags to put over her feet.
"Put them on and I will take you back to the hotel to shower." Laughed Elle pinching her nose
"Funny." Replied Emily still on a high after reviving the young girl
EJ
Stood under the shower trying to wash the awful smell from the sewer. Emily had scrubbed her feet five times now trying to feel clean again. Deciding she needed to leave some skin on her feet she finally turned the shower off and wrapped herself in a towel and walked back into her room.
Her cell phone rang just after she finished dressing, it was Hotch
"Emily, I'm sorry little Tamsin didn't make it, she inhaled too much contaminated water. Her little body just gave up eventually. The doctors did as much as they could. I am sorry Emily." He told her
"Thank you Hotch." Emily sniffed and ended the call
She burst into tears and her demons and darkness arrived. She dropped her trousers and sat on the floor rubbing her thigh band.
She opened her e-stim bag and applied her pads on her thighs and started the machine.
The pain started and she sat there.
"Emily! Are you coming down for dinner?" Derek asked her through the door
"No thanks, I will eat later, I just want to sleep thanks partner." She answered to placate him, hopefully he would leave her alone.
The darkness around her heart tightened and she started to feel breathless. Emily fumbled for her cell phone and dialled Jennifer.
"Jenny, help me please! The pain isn't helping I need you." Begged a distraught Emily
She heard her speaking to Miranda but couldn't make out what she was saying.
"Open your dividing hotel door Emily. Trust me." Jennifer commanded and ended the call
Emily walked to the door thinking why did she want her to open the door to Elle's room
As commanded Emily knocked on the door.
The door opened and Emily gasped as She look at Elle dressed in only her underwear. Emily's eyes were transfixed on the patterned thigh cuff around her Left thigh.
"Emily," she tried to get her attention.
"Emily, look at me please." She pleaded to her obviously struggling friend
Emily didn't answer and just points to her thigh band.
"I belong to Miranda, you popped in the other night to watch my electrics session. Remember upside down gagged girl." She smiled
Elle guided Emily to her bed and pulled her top off leaving her stood in her underwear. She started applying her pads over her lower body.
"Emily do I have permission to put my hands in your panties, I will not touch you inappropriately as you belong to Jennifer, do you understand?" Elle asked. Emily nodded her consent.
Elle applied her pads and handed Emily the pillow.
Emily felt the pain start and then ramp up, she then understood why she had the pillow as she screamed into it to avoid Derek hearing her next door. Elle worked the e-stim box with well practiced expertise. After 45 minutes
Emily dropped the pillow "Red, Elle." She cried
Elle stopped instantly and switched her machine off and brought Emily into a hug.
"Did it help?" Elle asked. Emily nodded through droopy eyes.
Elle helped the sleepy agent get into bed and covered her up and let her sleep.
"Mistresses J, she is sleeping at the moment." Elle told her quietly on her cell phone
"Thank you Elle, please keep an eye on her for me, now Emily knows you may continue with your regular sessions, thank you." Jennifer told her.
EJ
The next morning Emily stretched not remembering going to bed, she pulled the covers back and noticed the e-stim pads on her lower body and inside her panties, she then remembered calling Jennifer and Elle visiting her room.
Elle walked into her room just in her underwear her thigh band in full view for Emily to see.
"How do you feel this morning Emily?" Elle smiled at sat on the edge of her bed
"Thank you, Elle, I know how Jenny knew I left early now. You little sneak." Smirked Emily
"How long." Emily asked her friend
"My whole adult life, I've always known I'm a submissive and into BDSM. I found Miranda by accident one night she saved me from a couple that just wanted to hurt me. She introduced me to Mistress Jennifer. She allowed Miranda to take me as her personal companion." Elle lifted her right breast out her bra and raised it up showing off her blue bird tattoo " My present for Miranda." Elle grinned
Emily looked and then asked if she could touch her small blue bird tucked under her breast. Emily noticed that she had her nipple pierced. She admired the bars through her nipple but didn't feel comfortable talking with her about it.
"If you start feeling things are getting too much again, I'm here for you Emily. Please don't let the fact I now know both your secrets affect our friend ship." A concerned Elle asked
Emily pulled her friend into a hug and whispered into her ear "friend for life."
EJ
The team had spent the morning questioning Linda Huff, she had caved quickly and given them two addresses.
"Prentiss and Morgan take the 6th street address, Dave and I will take the derelict factory. Elle stay and keep the press happy. Reid stay with your geographic profile just to keep all our bases covered. Oh Emily try and keep your shoes on today." Hotch smirked
"Funny bossman, very funny." She smiled showing him her combat boots.
EJ
"FBI open the door Lindsay Lamb!." Commanded Morgan
The two agents listened and heard nothing until the sound of breaking glass could be heard. Morgan and Emily raised their boots and kicked at the door. The door exploded open and they could see Lindsay climb out the broken window onto a ledge. Emily watched her leap from the stone window ledge and jump onto the fire escape. She started down only to stop seeing NYPD officers stood at the bottom of the fire escape.
Emily carefully leapt from the window ledge onto the fire escape with cat like grace, Morgan landed heavily and twisted his right ankle.
"Go Emily, I'm fine." He shouted with a groan
Emily started running up the fire escape after Lindsay. Emily reached the roof mere seconds behind her
"FBI stop. Lindsay you have no were to go. Give yourself up!" Ordered Emily
Lindsay looked around the roof finding nowhere to go she stopped and put her hands on her head.
Emily approached carefully only relaxing once she had her in cuffs.
"I was doing gods work. Your letting Satan's spawn free to walk the earth." She Screamed. Catching Emily by surprise she started trying to run to the roofs edge.
She pulled Emily close to the edge of the roof before she could halt her advance. The two struggled, in sheer desperation Lindsay caught Emily's temple with a ferocious head but. She dazed Emily long enough to break free and fling herself off the roof.
"No! Don't!" She screamed as she fell of the roof.
Emily stepped to the edge watching Lindsay fall and land on the roof lights of the NYPD RMP car parked underneath.
"Shit." Screamed Emily
From the roof of the 14 floored building she could see people pointing up at her. What she couldn't hear from the roof, several bystanders pointed at the FBI windbreaker 'she pushed her off the roof'
Morgan reached the roof just in time to see Emily standing on the edge looking down.
"Were is she Emily?" Morgan asked his partner
Emily just pointed down as Derek approached. "Oh shirt!"
Dialling Hotch she quickly briefed him on finding Lindsay and her jumping. " I tried stopping her Hotch." Emily told him not feeling too heart broken over her death.
"A life for a life." She whispered to herself
She waited for the NYPD detectives to arrive do she could give her statement so she could go home. She wanted to see Jenny again.
EJ
Emily sat waiting in the conference room filling out her final report of this case.
Elle burst into the room and turned the TV on to a local news channel
'FBI agent witnessed throwing suspect from roof. Supervisory Special Agent Emily Prentiss from the renowned Behavioural Analysis Unit of the FBI. Witness watched Lindsay Lamb struggling with Agent Prentiss on the roofs edge before witnessing her being pushed off the roof to her death. She was heard screaming No! Don't! Before she fell. SSA Prentiss was overheard saying a life for a life. We think she was referring to the baby that died in hospital she rescued after Lindsay Lamb had thrown her into the sewer to aid her escape from the FBI. We have asked the BAU for comment on these allegations,' they all read the banner at the bottom of the screen.
Emily collapsed into a chair feeling her demons and darkness appear.
Elle noticed her friend collapse into the chair. She quickly picked up two pencils and snapped them in half. Kneeling down next to her her body masking her jabbing the sharpened ends of the pencils into her inner thigh. The sudden pain brought instant clarity for Emily for the moment.
Hotch walked into the conference room with two senior uniformed NYPD officers
"Emily, you need to go with these officers. They need to hear your version of what occurred on the roof. I need your main weapon and clutch piece please Emily." He looked apologetically at her holding his hand out for her weapons
The team watched as Emily was lead away by the two senior officers.
Elle left the room to help handle the press but first fired a quick message off to Jennifer.
'Emily in trouble, watch news. She will defiantly need you. Hurry mistress j'
Elle happy walked off to the press centre.
EJ
The NYPD detectives from IAB have been questioning Emily for four straight hours about the suspicious death of Lindsey Lamb. Unfortunately for Emily the only video of her fall was filmed from street level making It look like she was pushed. The building roof only had a broken camera whose audio microphone was the only thing working.
Hotch had been allowed to witness her questioning from the observation room, Garcia had of course pirated the camera feed allowing the team to watch it in the conference room.
"They are bowing down to public pressure. They are throwing her under the buss." Elle spoke out in disgust.
Rossi and Morgan agreed.
Hotch walked back into the room looking at the pirated camera feed on the laptops screen. He closed the lid of the laptop. Suddenly the temperature of the room raised as the dragon queen entered.
Section Chief Strauss looked at her assembled team and smiled
"Agent Prentiss has been arrested and bailed allowing further investigation into the fatal fall of Lindsey Lamb. She will be suspended pending the outcome of the investigation. She obviously has to stay in New York during the investigation. I have arranged for her accommodations for her indefinite stay here. Smiled Strauss finally getting one over on Emily Prentiss.
The assembled team looked shocked, even Hotch had a look of repugnance on his face at the lengths she would go to.
They heard a knock on the door
"Come in."
Jennifer Jareau walked into the conference room dressed in an obviously expensive pants suit balanced on 10inch heals her hair immaculate in a pony tail. She instantly owned the room.
"Chief Strauss?" Jennifer asked the older woman
"Yes." A puzzled woman answered
"Agent prentiss has been released and will stay with me and not at that flea bag hotel. Here is her address and contact number." She smiled as she watched the anger behind her Eyes
Jennifer turns around and leaves the room.
Strauss looked at the address on the sheet of paper
"Penthouse suit, Park lane!" She spat out as if each word was toxic
Hotch and the team stepped out of the room to watch Emily walking behind Jennifer as they walked out the police station.
"Who is she?" Reid asked
"Her name is Jennifer Jareau, she is a professional Dominatrix. We consulted her on the BDSM case a couple months ago." Morgan told the team.
EJ
Emily sat behind the table in the interview room her patience slowly disappearing. Her darkness had started enveloping her hours ago. She was annoyed with herself with her walls down she was so angry she might not be able to stop herself from doing something stupid.
To make things worse strauss had just left smirking after telling her she was suspended until the completion of the NYPD'S investigation. The door opened but Emily didn't look up to see who had just entered the room.
"Emily! Stand up your leaving with me now!" Jennifer commanded as only she could.
Emily immediately stood up and smiled following her out the room. Walking two paces behind Jennifer they exited the station into the waiting town car.
Jennifer pulled Emily into her and kissed her on the cheek. "I know your hurting Sweetheart, let's get you inside and I'll help you." She smiled
"Thank you, Jenny. I don't know what I would've done with out Elle or you." Smiled Emily snuggling into Jennifer's side.
EJ
Strauss made Garcia search Jennifer Jareau
" Jenifer Jareau, studied Psychology at Cambridge university in England. Worked in Washington in her own practice for five years before she retired to become a Mistress. She pays her taxes on time she doesn't even have a parking ticket to her name. She has properties in New York, Washington, London, St Lucia and a 130m long super yacht. I can find no record of her clients, she must not keep them on a networked computer. Ask Emily if she can introduce me, her villa in St Lucia looks heavenly…..oh she has over 77 million in the bank, spanking pays well." Smirked Garcia
"How does she know Emily?" Hotch asked
Elle received a text and walked outside to see Miranda waiting for her
Elle smiled and hugged her "you can kiss me." Miranda told her
Elle smiled and gave her a deep loving kiss to the utter surprise of the remaining BAU team
"Thank you, mistresses."Elle smiled.
Hotch walked over "Agent Greenaway? Care to explain what your doing?" He asked a little miffed
"I have been TDY to the New York office to handle the Agent Prentiss situation and deal with the press. He felt it was best for the Bureau. Executive Director Davis just text me Hotch. He said Strauss had been briefed." She told him
Strauss walked in looking ready to spit fire. "A word!" She tells Hotch
"Morgan and Greenaway are staying here in New York. The remaining members of your team can return to Quantico and complete your consults at your desks. I'm not happy but the orders come from above my head. Your wheels up in 1 hour. You are not to contact Prentiss until NYPD'S investigation is complete." Strauss all but spat out.
Miranda walked up to Derek and Elle smiling
"Derek her is your new hotel details, Jennifer thought you would be more comfortable. You have complete access to the gym. Elle your staying with me." Miranda smiled as she kissed Elle
