Chapter 1
Emily and JJ strolled back towards the BAU after a little lunch in their favourite off base diner.
"Those chilli fries are not laying well." JJ Moaned gently rubbing her stomach
"That's Kama for you sweetheart, you devoured nearly all my chilli fries as well." Smirked her wife
JJ turned and stood with both her hands gripping her waist with her trade marked pout, "Emily Elizabeth Prentiss, I did no such thing!" JJ retorted, trying to keep a straight face but failing as she bursts out laughing.
"They were so, so good." JJ smiled fluttering her deadliest weapons at Emily. She knew her wife would do anything for her if she used her puppy dog eyes, JJ knew her sparkling baby blues could end any argument, they were Emily's kryptonite.
Walking through the lobby towards the security check point, it seemed unusually empty for this time of day. JJ didn't think anything was a miss until she heard.
"Agent Jareau hands on your head and interlock your fingers!" Ordered the FBI SWAT team leader emerging from a side office.
Emily was unceremoniously grabbed by two members of the 12 man SWAT team and dragged out the way and pushed to the floor. "Don't struggle agent. I will let you up once your wife is restrained." He warned. She just nodded still in complete shock.
Two men approached JJ and relieved her of her service weapon and her clutch piece. Her hands were cuffed behind her back. JJ looked like a deer caught in a cars headlights she didn't look like a career criminal.
"What's going on?" The confused agent asked
"Jennifer Jareau Prentiss your under arrest for Multiple counts of murder, conspiracy to kill U.S nationals, terrorism, arms trafficking. Under the patriot act." The SWAT team leader told JJ and then read her Miranda warning to her.
Three senior agents walked over with the deputy director of the FBI and just looked at JJ in disgust.
"Get her out of my sight, search her again and then take her to an interrogation room." The Deputy Director of the FBI told the SWAT leader with utter contempt in his voice
"Yes sir,"
The group of four agents watched Jennifer Jareau Prentiss marched away escorted by four members of the SWAT team.
"Who gets first crack at prosecuting her?" The assistant director of Interpol asked
"The FBI, she has killed five of my undercover agents. I want her to pay, your welcome to interrogate her for your own agencies, but that homicidal bitch belongs to the FBI." the FBI deputy director told the group.
The other men just nodded in agreement as they followed behind JJ.

Emily looked like she was ready to kill the two SWAT team members preventing her from following her wife.
"Calm down agent prentiss or I will have to taser you." The SWAT team member warned Emily
"Just try! I am going to my wife so move NOW!" Warned a pissed off agent.
They both squared up to each other ready for a confrontation, the SWAT officer moved his hand towards his taser.
"Enough!" Yelled Hotch "stand down Prentiss!" He finally warned his agent
Emily complied, communicating her displeasure to Hotch by her evil glare as she walked away from the security area towards the elevators.
"Not a word Prentiss, back to the BAU I will try and find out what this is about." He told Emily hopefully calming his enraged friend, before she did something she would regret.
Hotch watched Emily punch the button for the BAU floor and watched the elevator rise to the 6th floor and stop. Satisfied he had defused one ticking time bomb he now approached the deputy director of the FBI to find out about his arrested agent.
"One minute Aaron please." He asked the approaching unit chief. The deputy director just nodded to his three companions and indicated for Hotch to follow him.
"Jareau Prentiss has been arrested under the patriot act. I can't tell you anything else I'm afraid Aaron. I will try and get them to permit her wife to see her before they transfer her out of Quantico." He smiled "I do have to remind you to keep your team out of this. Your team does have a history of going rouge to help a fellow team member." He warned
"Yes sir." Still not going to stop us sir, family is family he thought as he turned away.

JJ sat opposite two senior FBI agents as they slowly read through the files in front of them trying to put her on edge. They didn't need to use that old interrogation trick, she was furious and if she admitted it to herself she was petrified. Being arrested by a SWAT team made this very serious.
"I am Section Chief James Anderson serious crimes and this is Section Chief Charlotte Heart anti terrorism. We are currently attached to JTF 77, you have been arrested under the patriot act so don't expect to see your wife or lawyer soon, your ours for the next 7 days. We will start with your murder of Miguel Jaca during a botched arms deal." Chief Anderson told a perplexed JJ
"Who? I have never heard of him let alone murdered him." JJ replied to the accusation.
Section chief Heart slid across a crime scene photo with a blonde hair on his right shoulder. JJ perused the crime scene photograph and just shrugged her shoulders
"So? I am not the only blonde person on this planet." JJ protested
"We had the hair sent to our lab and ran it for DNA, we had enough to produce a DNA profile. We ran it through CODIS and it was yours Agent Jareau Prentiss, care to explain that?" She asked a shocked JJ
JJ just remained quiet not believing what she had just been told.
"You tortured that man before you killed him. He had his toes broken and then still not satisfied you shot him in both elbows and ankles. The medical examiner told us he was in a world of pain until you shot him in his head ending his suffering. We have been following your destruction for the past 6 years, this is the first time you have left us any incriminating evidence behind to put you at the scene." Section Chief Anderson told her, JJ could see he was barely keeping his anger under control. "We never actually knew anything about you until your slip up. You have managed to keep the FBI, Interpol and RCMP from identifying you until a week ago."
Both agents stood and walked out the interrogation room and straight into the viewing room filled with the senior agents observing the interrogation.
"I want her somewhere more secure she is too valuable to risk her escaping. She has far too many assists available to her. No contact whatsoever not even her wife. Complete isolation protocols including her lawyer." The director of the Royal Canadian Mounted police told everybody
"I will have it arranged" he was informed
EJ
Emily walked out the elevator on the BAU floor she opened the glass door only to find FBI agents searching her desk. Her computer had been removed as JJ's had been and both Emily's and JJ's desks had practically been dismantled. Emily was presented search warrants for their condo and Range Rover by one of the agents.
"Agent prentiss your work and private cell phones please." The tech asked her
Emily complied simply without any snarky comment. Morgan guided her to Hotch's office and sat her down on his settee. The normally unflappable agent looked like a lost and very emotional woman just about holding onto her sanity.
"They won't let you see her, I'm sorry Emily. She is being transferred to federal prison in about 3 hours under complete isolation procedures. I will keep trying to get you in to see here before they take her away." Hotch told Emily squeezing her shoulder for support. "She is not a murder Hotch!" Emily told her boss as she burst into tears.
Morgan enveloped her in his arms and gave her a big brother hug trying to calm his best friend.
"We know Jennifer hasn't killed any one Emily.
Just to add insult to injury Strauss chose that moment to enter Hotch's office.
"Agent Prentiss your weapon and credentials your suspended until further notice. You will leave Quantico and not return until your informed you can return. Now please follow these agents they have some questions for you to answer about Agent Jareau." Strauss told Emily with a hug he smirk.
Emily handed her weapon and credentials to Hotch smirking and followed the two agents out the door.
EJ
JJ sat in her orange jump suit with her FBI bullet proof vest on manacled ready for transport. JJ's head was still spinning from the bombshell of her DNA being at the crime scene. She knew Emily would move heaven and earth to get her out.
"Stand up!" The guard ordered JJ
Walking slowly she walked towards the three FBI black suburbans parked outside the Quantico cell complex. JJ was unceremoniously pushed onto the back seat of the middle vehicle and her seatbelt fastened.
"You'll love your new accommodations Agent." Smirked the guard.
The convoy of three vehicles moved off from Quantico and started their journey towards JJ's new home for the foreseeable future.
EJ
Five men sat around checking the contents of the various weapons crates in the warehouse. A cell phone started ringing.
"Yes" the man answered
"I need an immediate hot extraction of one high value federal prisoner. You will have to hit them in transit." He heard "personal weapons and three M4's only, standard load out no extra clips no aerial support standard FBI communications. They leave Quantico in two and a half hours. I have text the route to your phones.
"Yes boss. What details do you have? What are my mission parameters?." He asked
"I want the prisoner alive, every one else dead no witness's." He was instructed. "Use the RPG's and LAW rockets we got in that aborted shipment."
"Yes Boss."
