Chapter 2
Elizabeth Prentiss sat at her desk in the Prentiss mansion listening to her weekly update from Jennifer Jareau about her daughter. Emily had been placed under a conservatorship order after her very public melt down 9 months ago.
"Ms Prentiss still refuses to completely completely, but she has been a lot more stable since her medication was changed. Ambassador I do believe your order to apply the rules rigidly has been counterproductive. Emily told me in the Psychiatric unit she has always been rebellious when your involved. Due to her perceived childhood issues with you." Jennifer told the ambassador
"Emily told you about her childhood?" Asked a surprised Ambassador
"She was still highly medicated in the Psychiatric unit at the time." Jennifer Replied
A buzz came from the Ambassadors phone
"Send him in Abby." The ambassador asked her P.A
Her office door opened and Rory Winston walked in smiling. Rory was a senior partner of the law firm responsible for Emily's conservatorship order.
"Hello Ms Jareau, how are you enjoying your new company car?" He asked Jennifer as she was leaving
"It's marvellous thank you sir. It was a very pleasant surprise." Smiled Jennifer
"You deserved it." He told her as he watched her leave
Rory sat down and smiled at the ambassador
"How are we doing?" The ambassador asked
"80 million dollars. 50 million is in our off-shore account in Switzerland." He smiled
"Where has the 25 million gone?" The ambassador asked
He handed her a iPad for her to look at "The 25 million is what we are using to set her up. The Mercedes SLK she thinks is her company car has been bought by her shell company she opened in her dead sisters name. Ms Jareau has embezzled 85 Million from your daughter since she has been her conservator. The money trail ends after she transferred it from Roselyn Financial investment group to five individual investment groups in Russia." He shows her on the iPad.
Elizabeth smiles "how much longer, I am down to my last 5 million. I cannot maintain my life style for more than a few months." She nervously asked
"Three more months, sweetheart. After I have made the last transfer we will bring in the FBI to investigate some irregularities we have found. Everything will point to Jareau, her arrest will follow within days. The evidence will be damming against her." He smirked and leaned in for a kiss
The ambassador unbuttoned her blouse pulling it out of her skirt and tossed it on the floor. Rory started gently playing with her left breast
She started making small groans as he pinched her nipples through her silk Bra
Elizabeth smirked and kissed down his neck
"Emily's very public melt down couldn't have happened at a better time for me. Just imagine the embarrassment of me going bankrupt. Jennifer is a perfect patsy, she looks so innocent." Laughed Elizabeth as she groaned as Rory's ministrations continued.

Jennifer pulled her SLK into the parking lot of the pet store. She turned her engine off and gripped the wheel with both her hands and rested her forehead against the wheel and started to cry. Jennifer was the kindest person you could ever meet. She had struggled over the last 6 months working with Emily Prentiss. She had been instructed to be rigid with the rules no interpretation. The Ambassador and her boss had been very implicit. Jennifer had repeatedly advised the ambassador she was preventing her daughters recovery.
The ambassador just informed Jennifer she wasn't a Psychiatrist and just to do her job.
After drying her eyes and checking her appearance in the mirror she composed herself and locked her car and walked into the pet store.
"My name is Jennifer Jareau, you have a black kitten I paid for online." She asked the store manager
"Yes Ma'am, I have him here with everything else you ordered. If you take me to your car I will bring everything out for you." The store manager smiled
Jennifer picked up the pet carrier. "Hello little man, your Mama is a little bit strange but you should help straighten her out." She tickled the kitten behind his ears.
Flashback Psychiatric ward 8 months ago
"Emily, you told us your mother was horrible to you as a young girl. Could you give me a quick example please?" Her Psychiatrist asked her
Jennifer had just been appointed as her conservator, she had decided to sit in on her sessions so she could get to know her.
"I wanted a black kitten, he would have been my friend. Mother was always too busy for her to spend any time with me. I wanted the kitten so, so much but she told me they just had fleas and would poop everywhere. She sent her assistant out to buy me a stuffed cat instead. I was devastated and cried for days." Mumbled a very medicated woman.
Jennifer wiped a stray tear from her eye. How could a mother be so cold towards her own daughter Jennifer thought to herself.
End of flashback
She parked her SLK in the underground car park at Emily's Condo were she had lived with Emily since her discharge from hospital.
EJ
"Ms Prentiss where are you?" Asked Jennifer
Emily walks into the front room. "How many times do I have to tell you to call me Emily?" She asked the blonde woman annoyed
"I am not allowed to, your mothers orders." She replied
Emily looked annoyed at her answer. "How about using my first name here in the condo, your living with me for gods sake." Emily snarked
"I bought you a present Ms Prentiss….Emily to help with your recovery." Smiled Jennifer as she passed the pet carrier over
Emily looked surprised at the gift. "Oh my god, I've always wanted a kitten. Thank you Jennifer." A very surprised Emily told her pain in the ass.
"I have got some other stuff in the car." Jennifer told the smiling brunette
EJ
Two hours later the two women sat in the front room with Emily's new kitten sleeping in her lap. She had named him Sergio.
"How did you know?" A tearful Emily asked
"I sat in listening to your treatment sessions and you said you always wanted a kitten. Look Ms Prentiss ….Emily, your mother and my boss have ordered me to be like a strict governess with you. I disagree with them, I think it's holding back your recovery. I am not a nasty person but I need my job. The partners permitted me a lovey Mercedes SLK as a company car for my work with you. How about I use your first name when we are alone in the condo?" Jennifer asked Emily with a smile
Emily had Sergio purring on her lap as she stroked his stomach. She looked across at Jennifer and just nodded her head in agreement.
"Jennifer, you can change into more comfortable clothes when we are just sat around the condo." Emily suggested
"That would be unprofessional. I change when I have my night off." Jennifer smiled
"I take it I have no chance of getting away with a cheeky little beer?" Emily asked hopefully
Jennifer walked out the room "That would be correct, Emily. Good night" smirked Jennifer
EJ
Emily sat at her desk in the BAU the next morning working through her consults waiting for her daily breathalyser and drug wipe check from Jennifer.
"Princess, let me look at your new baby now, how dare you withhold pictures from me of your handsome furry man." Penelope Garcia chastised Emily
A huge smile appeared on her face as she looked at the bubbly computer technician.
"I've always wanted a kitten since I was about 10. Mother always refused my request with some excuse or other. Jennifer surprised me last night, she also told me mother was making her be such a pain in my ass. She fought to be less rigid with my rules as she thought it was slowing down my recovery. But of course mother refused her request. I still think she is a heartless ice queen but Sergio was a pleasant surprise." Emily told her friend as she flicked through her photo's on her phone
"He is gorgeous Emily, When can I meet him?" Garcia almost begged
Emily smiled at her friend. "Come over after work," she smiled
Jennifer looked down from her small office in the BAU at the sight of Emily gushing about Sergio to Garcia. She had noticed Emily slipping over the past month, her instructions from her boss and the Ambassador were not helping her recovery. Jennifer controlled Emilys day to day needs and purchases up to 1 million dollars. Larger amounts had to go through Judge Dread. Emily had no control over her own fortune, a 10 year old child had more freedom with their weekly allowance than Emily.
Jeniffer picked up her breathalyser and drug swabs and walked down to the bullpen towards Emily's desk.
"Ms Prentiss it's time." Jennifer told Emily as she approached
After a very dramatic sigh Emily completed her daily check.
"Round table room we have a case." Hotch shouted from his office door.
EJ
The team assembled around the table with Jennifer sat at the side of the room. Emily was only cleared to travel with the team to work in the police station. She could visit the morgue as long as she had another member of the team with her and of course Jennifer.
"This is a local one guys, we have 5 murders over the past 6 weeks of 3 women and 2 men. They have all been hog tied and strangled. The strange thing about the case is all our victims have been found in costumes. Super girl, Batman, Hulk, Star Trek and the silk spectre." Garcia flicked through the pictures on the plasma.
"Derek, Reid I want you to meet with the leader of this dress up group. See if they have had any threats made against them, let's face it people find it strange grown adults playing dress up. Rossi your with me we will check in at the morgue. Emily go and set up at the station and start the geographical profile." Hotch detailed the team off.
"Pardon me for interrupting Chief Hotchner." Jennifer started
Hotch just nodded for her to continue.
"Firstly it's called Cosplay or costume play. Approaching the group leader with such an attitude will be counter productive. Might I suggest you meet them at their weekly meeting in costume." Smiled Jennifer "it would prove your not being judgemental."
"Thank you Ms Jareau, I take it you have some experience with this 'Cosplay'?" He asked
"Yes. I can arrange for a costume for Emily and Derek for tonight's meeting. I could if you wanted accompany them to help smooth over any misunderstandings." Jennifer offered
Hotch considered her offer for a few seconds and nodded his consent.
"I have something for you Ms Prentiss, Agent Morgan I will need your measurements." Smiled Jennifer.
