A/N HELLO! OK so this was previously added as a crossover between Criminal Minds and Higher Ground but I didn't feel there were enough people reading it so (as a suggestion from a brilliant review I got. Thankyou crazyobsession101) I am putting it back up with a different name and just in the Criminal Minds section. For those of you who haven't heard of Higher Ground its a TV show from about 10 years ago and AJ Cook was one of the main characters. It explains more in the Story in chapters to come.

There are some really good Criminal Minds/Higher Ground crossovers on here but most of the aren't finished ( that's ok I can understand when you loose interest in something) so I thought I would write one that WILL get finished, it might take a few weeks but I will get there before the year is out. This is a light chapter but they will get darker.

It was a normal paper work day at the FBI and in the BAU sat on desks and chairs were David Rossi, Derek Morgan, Spencer Reid, Jennifer "JJ" Jareau, Penelope Garcia and Emily Prentiss. They were laughing and joking about the night they had out together a few weeks previous, but what they didn't know was one of the team's world was about to be ripped apart.

"That girl was hanging on your ear Morgan" Emily laughed.

"You can't give us that sweet and innocent act, you loved it and I bet you anything, you took her home. Am I right?" JJ added her bit in.

Morgan stared at the women trying to look hurt and shocked.

"The fact that you would even think I was like that Jayje really hurts." Morgan put his hand on his heart.

"Well sweet cheeks the fact you still had lipstick on your neck the next morning suggests you did in fact not go home alone." Garcia added from Emily's desk chair.

They kept chatting away for another few minutes until they were joined by their boss Aaron Hotchner.

"Have you lot finished your reports yet?" He asked knowing full well that it was too early in the day for anyone but the genius Spencer Reid to be finished.

"I have!" Reid said from his chair raising a hand and receiving daggers from Morgan and a whispered 'suck up' from Emily.

"And the rest of you?"

They looked sheepishly at each other, Morgan was about to defend them by saying they were just taking a break but was stopped by the sound of a grown coming from Rossi.

"What's up Rossi?" Morgan asked looking confused at the older man.

"Strauss heading our way, 12 O'clock with two of her minions following."

They all turned to see Strauss making a b-line for the team.

"Morgan what did you do?" Reid whispered only loud enough for the team to hear.

"What why m…" He was stopped when Strauss approached.

"Ma'am. Is there something we can do for you?" Hotch asked in a tone he only used when talking to the woman he really didn't like.

"Yes Agent Hotchner you can." The way she spoke seemed different to the way she normally was and the hole team even Garcia knew there was something wrong "This is U.S. Marshal Jenkins" She pointed to the younger of the two men. He looked about 40 with salt and pepper hair "and also U.S. Marshal Willis." She then pointed to the older man. He was about 55 and had white hair.

What the team didn't realize was when Strauss and the other men walked in all the color drained from JJ's face and there was a look of fear in her eyes.

'Oh God, it's him. I remember him, he was so nice to us, but why is he here. What is he doing here? He could screw everything up... C'mon JJ pull your self together. There just here on a case and he has been doing this job long enough to know when to keep his mouth closed. I hope.'

"We would like to speak with Agent Jareau." When Strauss finished she locked eyes with JJ to let her know that she had no choice in the matter.

"Yes ma'am, you can use my office." Hotch pointed to the open door behind him as he looked at JJ's pale complexion.

"Thankyou." Strauss signaled to JJ to walk and she did. They walked up the few steps followed my both U.S. Marshals. All four people walked into the office and closed the door behind them, but they didn't think to close the blinds too, giving the rest of the team a perfect view of what was happening in the room.

"Ok." Garcia piped up with a lot of worry in her voice "Why do those scary looking Marshals want to talk to our buttercup?"

"I haven't a clue baby girl but did you see the fear in JJ's eyes when Strauss introduced them."

"She was a white as a sheet." Emily added.

The team watched through the window as the four people talked then Willis seemed to hand JJ something along with a folder. JJ was frozen on the spot for a minute then broke down and crumbled to the floor.

"What the hell!" Before the team could say anything to each other they were all heading for the office door.

Morgan banged on it. Less than a second later the door opened a crack and Strauss looked out at the worried faces.

"This is a private conversation Agent Morgan!" Strauss spat.

"Ma'am what's going on?" Hotch asked maneuvering himself in front of Morgan so he could get a peek through the door at JJ who was sobbing on her knees being gently rocked by Marshal Willis.

"We will be out in a minute!" before either Morgan or Hotch could stop her she slammed the door in her face. They moved to the window but Strauss appeared and closed the blinds.

"DAMIT! What the hell in going on in there?" Morgan growled.

5 minutes later the door to the office opened and the three older agents walked out. Strauss shook both Marshals hands and they walked out the BAU.

"Ma'am?" Hotch took a step closer and could see where a single tear had wiped away a small trail of makeup "What's going on?"

"You are all being given a few weeks off. Do with as you wish but I suggest that you all help Agent Jareau with what needs to be done."

Strauss turned to leave.

"Ma'am with all due respect, that doesn't answer Agent Hotchner's question." Emily took a step next to Hotch.

Strauss sighed; all she wanted to do was go to her office.

"It's not my place to say. When Agent Jareau is ready she will tell you her self but another suggestion." She looked into each and everyone's eyes "Don't push her. She is going to need you all to be strong."

Everyone looked on as the older woman walked out of the BAU towards her office. The team looked at each other for a second shocked then they all headed to Hotch's office. Hotch swung open his door.

"JJ what's going…." He was stopped mid sentence as he was pushed back and JJ came sprinting out of the room with her hand over her mouth.

A/N Please leave reviews and let me know what you think. i really do hope that i get more intrest in it now.
