Chapter 14 We need your help
Emily and JJ were eight days into their ten-day suspension. JJ was in search of Emily, who seemed to be hiding from her
"Oh, Emmiiilly, come out, come out, where ever you are." JJ sing-song whilst searching for Emily. She had lost the usual re-qualification bet by having the lowest score (99.5%) and was JJ's bitch for the day.
Emily was squatting behind the jacuzzi when Vanessa and Ellie found her; Emily put her finger up to her lips, indicating that they were quiet. Both girls just smiled at their mother and shouted, "Auntie Jen, we have found he she's over behind the jacuzzi. Sorry Mom, but auntie JJ is buying us ice cream if we find you." Ellie smiled
JJ high-fived both her nieces and turned to Emily smiling and indicated for her to follow
"You should get an additional day for making me find you. Put these on and follow the instructions in the bag." JJ told Emily, handing her a large paper bag.
"I'm going to hate this, aren't I. I can't believe you're making me do this over a poxy half per cent." Whined Emily
JJ didn't answer and just pointed to her bedroom. "FINE!" Emily huffed.
JJ, Elizabeth and Tracey could hear rustling sounds and cussing from Emily's bedroom.
"I'm coming out. I swear to god, if you laugh, sweetheart, you're sleeping out on the balcony tonight." Emily warned.
Emily stepped out onto the balcony dressed as a clown. She had on sizeable black clown shoes with orange trousers with yellow polka dots and a multicoloured shirt with a bow tie. Her face was covered in clown makeup and a bright red clown nose with a day-glow orange wig.
"Well?" Emily asked, giving everyone a twirl. Vanessa and Ellie are hysterical, looking at their mother dressed as a clown. JJ has tears running down her face holding her sides laughing. "Never going to compare my driving ever again, are you, Em?" JJ manages to ask between laughs. Tracey can't keep her face straight any longer and howls with laughter "so worth sleeping on the balcony, sleep out girls?" She laughed. Elizabeth is sat on JJ's knee with her head buried into her neck, trying to stop herself from laughing
" well, might as well join everyone else," Emily smirked and started laughing until she was smacked in the face with multiple custard pies JJ being the instigator. JJ stands back, admiring her work. Emily is covered in custard. Wiping her eyes clear, she glares at JJ.
"Oh, Emily, these pictures are going on my computer must be worth a few blackmail points. Get yourself changed and cleaned up." JJ smiled. She opened her mouth to say something when Emily smashed a custard pie into her face. That started a massive family-wide custard pie and water balloon fight. Tracey looked across at Elizabeth and smiled, thanking her it was the first time since their suspension they had seen Emily and JJ back to normal laughter.

The corner looked at the three gentlemen standing between the two autopsy tables looking down at the two women's bodies.
"How did they die?" One of the suits asked
The coroner looked at the three men dressed in semi-expensive suits marking them as senior government officials. He had them down as FBI or CIA, but they could be from any of the alphabetical agency's " they drowned when their car skidded into a large pond after a tyre blows out. We only discovered the car when a railway company's helicopter flew over and noticed the submerged car and reported it to the local police. We only got the bodies due to an alert on the police computer. Can I ask what your interest is in the two bodies?" The coroner asked
"You can ask, but don't hold your breath waiting for the answer." The suit answered.
The four men thank the coroner and leave the morgue and get into their government SUV. Once all the doors are closed, one man activates an anti-surveillance system installed in the CIA vehicle
"We have a chance now that they are dead and no one knows, and the two are almost doppelgängers to Eve and Jill Grace. We can give them the protect the national interest speech." He smiled
"Do you honestly think she will even listen to you? She promised to kill you next time she set eyes on you." He countered
"If need be, I will force her hand. You know how noble she is with her self righteous code. Leave it up to me." the suit answered with an evil grin on his face
EJ
Emily and JJ stood between the two autopsy tables looking at the dead bodies of Eve and Jill. The coroner tells them they both drowned after a tyre blew out, and they ended up in a pond.
"Why are we here? You could have told us over the phone or at the precinct?" JJ asked Rossi
He points to the two CIA agents entering the Morgue. "CHANG! Emily yelled at the smaller bald agent." She glared at the agent, walked up to him, kicked him in his testicles and punched him, knocking him out. She just stormed out of the morgue without a single word to anyone. Rossi looks at JJ and shrugs his shoulders
"I don't know, sir, normally it takes more than just meeting someone to piss her off that much. Care to explain?" JJ asked the bleeding agent on the floor.
"No, you are not cleared for that information. We only wanted to ask you both to go undercover for us as you both look almost identical to them." He gestured towards the two bodies on the slabs.
"No chance without Emily, sorry." JJ shrugged and walked out to find Emily.
"The bitch is paying for that." The vindictive agent muttered
EJ
JJ found a pissed off partner in a nearby bar with a beer and a shot in front of her.
"Care to explain, Em? You are never that explosive when you have met someone. I take it you know him from that performance?" JJ asked, sitting down next to Emily "beer, please." JJ asked the bartender.
JJ thinks Emily isn't going to answer her. Suddenly she takes a deep breath and turns to look at JJ. JJ notices the tears threatening to fall in her eyes. JJ tubs Emily's arm "take your time." JJ smiles at her emotional partner
"20 years ago, we got very short notice tasking to rescue some high-value CIA target in Columbia. A six-man team went in, only three of us got out. One is still in a comma and unlikely to wake up, leaving a wife and two kids behind. The second lost his sight and the ability to walk after an RPG shot down his helicopter. I got hit three times and lost consciousness. We all got saved by an American special ops helicopter crew. That's when Elizabeth met me for the first time, and I didn't meet her for another three days when I regained consciousness. Agent Paul Chang sold us out to get into a competing cartel, and there was no high-value target. It was a setup. We were expendable assets. Jennifer, he is dangerous. We need to be careful, and he will not stop until he gets what he wants, no matter who he crushes. I would kill that little shit If I could get away with it." Emily is physically shaking when she finishes telling JJ
JJ stands up off her barstool and hugs her partner, rubbing her back.
"Come on, let's go home." JJ smiled
EJ
They get back to their apartment block to see Elizabeth lead out by military police in handcuffs.
" What are you doing with my wife?" JJ demands
"She's being arrested under the patriot act for acts of sedition. Evidence has been found in her helicopter and her bedroom. Take her away, Sargent." Agent Paul Chang ordered
"Where are you taking her?" Emily asked
"Oh, I don't know some black site for a little enhanced interrogation. You can both make her stay safer and shorter by doing what we ask." Smirked Chang knowing he had landed his two fish with a bit of wife bait.
"Jennifer, I am so sorry this is all my fault. Elizabeth, I will make this right, I promise you." Emily turned and head-butted Chang on his nose "if a single hair on her body is damaged, I will kill you slowly, do you UNDERSTAND ME!" Emily kneels on his testicles to make her point. "We will do what you want, but we never see your face again. You know exactly what I am capable of, don't you." Emily makes her point by squishing her knee into his testicle, making him scream.
The MP's are extremely slow, pulling her off the obnoxious CIA agent. JJ grabs hold of Emily, pulling her away from Chang, "we'll deal with that shit later; let's make sure Elizabeth stays ok. Let's get this job done."
EJ
Tracey looked across at a very quiet JJ and a brooding Emily sitting next to each other on the settee holding hands trying to support each other. The only thing that will help is seeing Elizabeth again. Her thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the door. She opened the door to find Emily's mother, Edith standing there with a beaten Elizabeth in handcuffs.
"Can I come in, please Tracey?, I've got a lot to explain," Edith asked
"Please come in." Tracey politely replied.
"Hello, sweetheart, miss me." Elizabeth smiled at JJ. Edith removed her cuffs so she could say hello to her wife correctly. JJ hugged her wife and kissed her
"Arghh," Elizabeth screams, falling to the floor, gripping her right side. Breathing through the pain, she stands back up. "I've got a few broken and bruised ribs. They didn't like it when I hurt two of them, beating me. I paid for it, but they ensured I was tied to a chair the next time. That's when Edith came in and stopped the second beating and got me medical help." Elizabeth painfully told everyone. Edith put her hand on Elizabeth's shoulder.
"I got her released from the black site but not cleared. She is under house arrest until we can clear her name and you both complete your mission. Chang won't be a problem. He is scared of you, Emily. That could be a problem. Elizabeth's tag hardware will be here in ten minutes. I'm sorry, it's the best I can do. He did a superb job setting her up, so you are a traitor until we prove you innocent. I have people on it; leave it up to me." Edith told everyone
"Thank you for bringing her back to me.." JJ told Edith
Emily turned to speak to Elizabeth, but she raised her hand to stop her. " don't you dare apologise, I'm a big girl. Remember, I picked your unconscious ass off that Columbian hilltop. He sent three men to their deaths for his benefit. This is not on you, Emily. I ask when you get around to sorting the little shit out. I get an invite to the party." Emily raised her eyebrow and smiled and just nodded.
EJ
Two days later, Emily and JJ are sat in a windowless room in the New York FBI offices sat ready to be briefed on their tasking. Four men in suits walk in, and a woman dressed in an expensive business suit. They sit down and gaze across the table at Emily and JJ
"Officers, thank you for volunteering for this mission..." the man is interrupted by JJ
"Let's get things right from the start. We are being blackmailed into this. You had my wife arrested and beaten, so don't give me pleasant platitudes, cut the crap and tell us what you want." A very angry JJ tells the group in front of her. The three suits that haven't spoken look confused and turn to the standing man.
"Mhmm, Agent Chang, sir, might have overstepped in trying to persuade them to volunteer for this mission. He arrested Officer Jareau's wife and had her taken to our enhanced interrogation site for a little talk." The man tells his apparent superior's.
Emily puts her arm across JJ's chest to stop her from pouncing at the idiot across the table. " don't do it, Jen. He's not worth it." Emily tells her. The anger in her partner's eyes only diminished slightly. She takes a couple of deep breaths and nods at Emily
"Now tell us what you want us to do, no bullshit or I won't hold my partner back. Her wife was beaten by you bunch of idiots, so she wants payback. I don't think she cares who she breaks, so get on with it, or I will give her a hand." Emily tells the actual boss sitting across from them.
"Jill and Eve Grace were burnt CIA officers who specialised in black bag operations, all deniable. They realised they had a gift that could earn them millions. They went rogue and became the go-to couple for almost impossible missions. They have pulled off some amazing things, so they are in high demand. They pick and choose things that appeal to them. Jill is the dominant one in the marriage and the brains, Eve is the feminine one with an evil streak. She is the one that has the psychopath in her. She does all the wet work and enjoys it. Jill enjoys that side of their work but not with as much enthusiasm. They are a highly sexual couple who show their deep love in front of their crew. We know they have been employed to secure some evidence from the NYPD evidence lockup. The evidence is in the high-security vault. We don't know what the item is until you meet in ten days on their boat." The boss ladies tell them, "what we need you both to do is take their place and meet their representative and find out what they need and facilitate its retrieval. We can find out who is behind this and deal with it. You will be on your own as this is a deniable op as we were not allowed to operate domestically, and we don't want to air our dirty laundry in public, so other agencies are out of the question." She finished looking at the two flabbergasted officers.
The next few hours is spent briefing Emily and JJ on the meeting on the boat and everything they need to know about previous jobs the couple had carried out. Finally, they were given the two dead women's wedding rings.
EJ
Tracey and Elizabeth sat in the front room waiting to see Emily and JJ in their new outfits, and the CIA had dropped off the wardrobes of Jill and Eve. Much to their wife's amusement, the traits for each woman was the polar opposite of Emily's and JJ's actual personality.
Emily entered wearing a short, low cur floral dress with designer pumps and JJ entered wearing tight leather pants with a tight latex top leaving very little to the imagination and 8inch high heels.
"Emily, you look Mmmm glorious in floral..." Elizabeth is interrupted by a death glare from Emily "just don't go there."
Emily sat on the settee, and JJ straddled her and started to kiss he neck and worked her way towards Emily's lips. She gently pressed her lips to Emily's and suddenly stopped.
"I can't. I feel like I'm cheating." JJ told Elizabeth
"Oh sweetheart, I know you couldn't give yourself to anyone else. Just think of this as acting. I have an idea." Elizabeth smiled and grabbed both JJ and Emily's hands pulling them towards the bedroom.
"Now both strip and get into bed. I'm not losing either of you because you refuse to be intimate with each other. Now Jennifer, get into bed on top of Emily and start getting to know each other." Elizabeth smiled and pushed JJ towards the bed
Tracey helped Emily undress and get into bed. "I agree with Elizabeth, and you will not die on me because you can't touch each other. You will both do what you need to. We want you back safe and sound. Now you are both Jill and Eve Grace until this is finished, you use this bedroom until you move into your hotel." Tracey smiles and reaches down, and places JJ's hand on Emily's breast. "Now, Mrs and Mrs Grace start exploring. You both have our permission to do whatever you need to each other to come back safely."
Elizabeth and Tracey leave their wives and walk into the front room, and both burst into tears. Sitting on the settee, and instantly hug each other carefully to protect Elizabeth's broken rib.
"I know they love us, but they need to get over it while they're undercover, or we will lose them," Tracey whispered. Elizabeth just nodded.
A few hours later, Emily walked back into the front room holding JJ's hand. The new couple takes a seat, and JJ sits on Emily's lap and gives her a long sensual kiss. Finishing the kiss, she rests her forehead on Emily's and smiles. "Sweetheart, that was amazing." Smiled Emily
JJ smiled and slid her hands under Emily's top, and started playing with her breasts. Elizabeth and Tracey smile at each other it's not perfect, but they should get there. For the rest of the evening, they test Emily and JJ on their covers.
EJ
Five days later, JJ and Emily are sat in the lounge of an expensive motor yacht in the North Atlantic across from three lawyers representing one of their clients. This was the prearranged meeting Eve, and Jill had attended before their death. JJ had her arm around Emily, her right hand playing with Emily's hair absentmindedly while the men explained what they wanted from them.
"So let me get this straight? You want us to break into the NYPD high-value evidence storage and steal certain items that incriminate your employer. And you're offering us only $1 million, think again, we only get out of bed and dress for 5 million. The item you want us to obtain cannot be that incriminating." Emily leans down and kisses JJ deeply while gently massaging her left breast. The three lawyers look extremely uncomfortable at JJ's ministrations in front of them.
"10 million half now and a half when we have finished. Don't even try to negotiate and embarrass yourselves. When does this need to be done? I'm taking it has to be done before a certain date?" Emily tells the lawyers.
"You have a month." A lawyer tells them. Emily nods in accepting the timeline. "We have a deal of 10 million." The lawyer stands and shakes both girls hands.
"We need three memory sticks that are hidden in three digital voice recorders. Our employer's financial records and the location he has his money deposited are recorded on memory sticks. They are encrypted and hidden well, but they could be eventually found. He is not willing to risk the chance they are found. If you can't get the recorders out of the storage area, we want an EMP burst to wipe the recorders stored memory." The lawyer informs the girls
"What's it matter if they find them if they're encrypted, they don't have the decryption key? They can't of been stupid enough to include the key in the digital recorder." Emily laughed. The look on the group of lawyers told them all they needed to know. They had included the key as well. Well, it's a good job. You don't have to pass a test to become a criminal. Otherwise, these idiots would have failed miserably.
"Here's all the information you need and pictures and serial numbers of the recorders." He handed over an envelope to JJ. JJ scanned the documents and nodded, "get us back to New York."
EJ
"You all know the plan. The most important thing is to stay covert. If we are found or detected, it makes our jobs 100% more difficult as the NYPD will be popping up everywhere. We go in as two ADA's request the evidence for review and remove the hidden memory sticks. Sounds easy but don't let yourself get complacent, or I swear to god I will make you suffer. Do you all understand? Good, let's go." JJ finished her pep talk in the back of the fake NYPD van.
Emily and JJ walk over to their car dressed in business suits, wearing wigs and coloured contact lenses. They are wearing cleverly disguised raised shoes, making them taller, padded bras making them a little more notable as most men can never really look at the face. They were disguised as ADA's with the correct paperwork to access the evidence they were expected at the evidence storage. Being NYPD officers made this bit easier as they knew the procedures for entry. Both Emily and JJ felt nervous as this was not sanctioned even though it was for the CIA; neither had a choice. They had to clear Elizabeth's name.
JJ took a deep breath missing Elizabeth, and pressed the buzzer for entry into the evidence storage facility. "This is ADA Keene and Scott. We have an appointment to view some evidence." JJ told the security officers handing over their badges.
"Thank you, viewing room seven first floor Ma'am." The officer smiled, handing back their badges.
They were entering the viewing room. Emily picked up the phone, requesting the evidence. Ten minutes later, a technician brought the evidence and signed it over to them after checking their identification. JJ placed the evidence tray on the table and signed the bag, and opened it. For 15 minutes, they listened to the tape for the camera's benefit.
'That's the camera feed fixed your clear to proceed, boss' the earwig in the girl's ears announced
With the announcement, they could proceed Emily and JJ dismantle the voice recorders and remove the small memory devices in each recorder and remove a single microchip from one recorder. The whole procedure took ten minutes from start to finish. 'We're done. Tell us when the camera is back to normal' JJ told their tech genius.
'Good to go, boss.'
Emily picked up the phone and informed them they had finished they were ready for the evidence to be collected. The technician arrived and gathered the evidence, and signed it back into her possession. The two ADA's walked back out of the evidence storage facility and drove away with the recovered devices stuffed into their padded brassieres.
'Thank you, gentlemen. Your money is in your accounts. Get out of New York and keep your heads down. It's been a pleasure working with you.' Emily throws their earwigs out the window after destroying them.
"God, Em, I know I'm a police officer, but that was exciting, and my god, what a buzz!" JJ gushed
"Steady their woman, your not becoming a supervillain. Are you?" Laughed Emily
EJ
Sat on the motor yacht, they handed over the memory sticks and microchip to the lawyer in the saloon while pretending to drink from the celebrity cocktails they had been given as they smelt strange. Both Emily and JJ knew they were not supposed to get off this boat alive. The ship was rolling slowly in the current sea state.
"I need the powder room, sweetheart," Emily told JJ reaching for her hand and pulling her up
"I don't think so ladies, SIT DOWN!" A man told them entering the saloon carrying a gun.
He kept his gun pointed towards JJ as his eyes remained fixed on Emily. Moving fast, JJ reaches into her waistband and pulls out the carbon fibre throwing knife and launches it towards the gunman's throat. The man's throat started bleeding heavily as the blade hit home. He grunted and fired his gun. JJ felt the bullet graze her arm as they both ran out the saloon Towards the upper deck, not waiting to see if they had more armed friends. Leaving the warmth of the inside, they burst out onto the upper deck. They could hear shouting getting louder
'There they are KILL THE BITCHES'
Looking at each other, Emily and JJ launched themselves over the side of the yacht into the black and cold waters of the North Atlantic. They both dived under the water and kicked hard, trying to get some distance from the boat and into the darkness.
'Get the mini spotlights out and find them.'
Emily and JJ head surfaced about 50 meters from the yacht, now slowing and turning back. They watched the spotlights search the surface for them. Suddenly three rigid inflatable boats appeared. Two broke towards the ship, and the third altered course towards the two ladies. The two RIB's approached the yacht and opened fire on the armed men with automatic gunfire. While the two RIB's kept the armed men's heads down, Emily and JJ were pulled into the third RIB.
"Rib 2 and 3, we have the packages, disengage." The coxswain announced on his radio.
"Good swim, ladies?" The coxswain asked, looking at the two ladies smiling
"Shut up, sergeant major and pass me the L.A.W.," Emily asked. The coxswain passed Emily the lightweight anti-tank rocket. "CLEAR REAR, ROCKET OUT!" Emily yelled as she launched the rocket at the motor yacht. The rocket struck the ship just above the water line near the fuel tanks. Two other rockets struct the boat fired from the other RIB's. The motor yacht exploded and broke in half the explosion breaking her back. The two RIB's looked for survivors, but none were found.
The twelve-man SAS team and boats were inserted by parachute and tailed the yacht waiting for Emily and JJ's leap from the yacht courtesy of Emily's mother. It was amazing how a training exercise happened to be in just the right location to help them out.
"Sargent major, can I buy you, boys, some drinks and find out some embarrassing stories about Emily!" Smiles JJ
"Oh, Ma'am, when I've finished, you're going to have enough on her never to have to do anything you don't want to do ever again. Like the time she got arrested for streaking down Oxford street." Jock white, the regimental Sargent major, smiled
" I was not naked, and I'll have you all know. I had my socks and an MP5 on. Oh god, please shoot me now." Emily moaned.
"Now, let's get my wife exhorted," JJ told Emily
EJ
Emily and JJ walked into the same windowless office in the FBI's New York offices that started them on their last mission. After a few minutes, Chang walked into the office with the other agents they had met before, and Chang looked like he had just won the lottery.
"Good work, Agents." Chang smiled, taking the offered memory sticks and microchip
"AGENTS? We're police officers, and we would never work for you." JJ corrected the man
"I own you both now. You will do what I tell you. I have video evidence of you both breaking into the NYPD evidence store pretending to be ADA's with counterfeit documents. Stealing evidence to sell to the highest bidder. So you will do anything for me now you have shown your worth, or you both can join Jareau's wife in federal prison." He smirked, "did you think I'd let you get away with assaulting me?"
JJ looked flabbergasted. She thought it's was all over, but it was just beginning. JJ saw red and lost her temper, and just screamed, launching herself at an unsuspecting Agent Chang. Striking him hard with her right fist into his temple, stunning him, then wrenching his right shoulder out of its socket, she brought him to the floor, getting him into a chokehold. JJ was possessed and kept increasing the pressure around his neck, Chang was going pale, and his lips started getting a pale blue hue.
"JENNIFER NO!" Screamed Emily trying to pull JJ off Chang. "let him go, Jennifer, let him go. The weasel isn't worth it. Think of Elizabeth." Emily managed to break through by using her full first name. She released her grip around his neck, pushing him away from her. Emily pulled her into a hug rubbing her back soothingly. Chang lay coughing, sucking in large gulps of air, his right arm dangling at a strange angle. His colleagues now had JJ pinned to the floor face down, handcuffing her.
"Let her go NOW!" Emily calmly told the two agents her voice, not leaving it up for debate. The two men didn't move " I SAID LET HER GO, NOW!" Emily repeated more firmly. Her eyes mirrored her displeasure to the two agents.
They looked at Chang crippled in the corner, then to their boss, who looked shell shocked. They decided to comply as they didn't want to anger this woman anymore. Unlocking JJ's cuffs just unleashed the pissed off blond again, threatening her soul mate had not been the most brilliant move the four CIA agents had done. JJ slammed her fingers into the closet agents kidney dropping him to the floor, screaming in pain, the third male agent started for his service weapon, but JJ was faster, grabbing his right testicle and squeezing. The agent emitted a guttural scream when his testicle popped. JJ turned and faced the female agent wanting nothing more than to cause her severe pain.
"Aren't you going to help me, Prentiss?" The CIA section chief asked
"Oh, I'm going to help Jennifer beat the crap out of you. If we're going to prison, might as well enjoy the crime." Emily calmly told the section chief. Emily walked towards the worried woman behind JJ
"EMILY! JENNIFER! STAND DOWN!" Shouted Edith, Emily's mother
JJ and Emily stopped and looked at Edith and the two men flanking her. " we're busy, mother, can you not see that?" Emily announces
"Officer Jareau and Prentiss, stop, please. I am deputy director (operations) CIA, and this is Assistant Special Agent in Charge New York Field Office. We have reviewed the memory sticks you sent to your mother. We confirmed these four traitors have been selling classified material to the People's Republic of China for years. They have made millions. They have also sold out other agents that discovered what they were doing; that's how the digital recorders had to be hidden for a while. They dropped the dime on the NYPD most wanted to ensure their hidden property would be safe in the secure storage. That's where you two come in and why they needed Capt Jareau as collateral. We have found all the evidence of the fabricated charges against your wife Jennifer she has been exhorted.." JJ smiled at the news of Elizabeth's being cleared.
"I am sorry about this, officers, but you are both under arrest for impersonating an ADA and stealing evidence from the NYPD evidence storage. Lt Strauss, they are all yours." The ASAC told Emily and JJ
Lt Strauss entered the room with Morgan and Hotch following, ready to arrest Emily and JJ.
"Ha, ha, I still win Bitch your..." the female CIA section chief is floored by Strauss.
"I hate spooks, especially ones that mess with my platoon. Now stay down, or you might slip again." Strauss snarled at the fallen chief.
JJ and Emily look on, astonished at the sight of Strauss standing over the fallen CIA chief
"Cuff them both," Strauss ordered Morgan
"Hands behind your backs," Morgan ordered. Securing the cuffs around Emily's and JJ's wrists, he escorted them down to his RMP.
