Author's Note: The very long-awaited Chapter Four! Apologies this has taken me almost two years to post, life truly got in the way! As always, this is a republication, so I've not changed anything except for grammatical or spelling errors.
The following morning, JJ awoke to the sounds of Emily's cell ringing, with a familiar ache between her legs. Smiling at the memories of the night before, she leant over her girlfriend to answer the phone glancing at the clock on the wall as she did: 8:30AM. Upon seeing that it was the Ambassador calling, all signs of sleepiness left her body.
"Good morning, Ambassador. Agent Jareau speaking."
"Where is my daughter, Agent? And why are you answering her cell?"
"Ma'am, Emily is about to go on a raid and so doesn't have her cell on her as we use radios. I answered her cell in case you had an important message to pass on."
"I was just wondering whether the case had finished because if it had, I was going to ask Emily if she wanted to come to my party again this year: I know how much she enjoys coming. But I can see the case has not finished yet, so good luck catching the bastard, and can you please get Emily to ring me when she has the chance."
"I will tell her you called as soon as I can after the raid has finished ma'am and thank you."
"You're welcome, and you, also, Agent Jareau. Goodbye."
"Goodbye Ambassador."
And with that, JJ hung up the phone and turned to see Emily looking at her with confused, sleepy eyes.
"Your mother. She phoned to ask if the case had finished yet and if it had, would you like to go to her Christmas party – because you enjoy them so much. I told her you would ring her back when you have a moment, because you were just about to go on a surprise raid. She must have bought the whole thing because she wished us luck, and I quote, 'catching the bastard'. Anyway, I reckon it will be at least an hour or two before you have time to ring her, and I can think of plenty of things we can do to fill the time. I only have one question: if you hate the parties so much why does she think you enjoy them?"
"Because she believes what I tell her, and I tell her I enjoy the parties to keep the peace."
Short and sweet! Let me know what you think, and I'll try not to leave the next chapter quite so long.
