*Okay as always I own nothing of Criminal Minds or Rizzoli & Isles just enjoying using the characters.
(Chapter Three)
Maura and Jane made it back to the court house an half hour early. They didn't want to be late given the judge's disposition on his court room being disrupted already by the Ambassador's message. When they rounded the corner they were surprised to see Will and Sister Kate sitting on the benches waiting for them.
"Sister Kate..." Maura called and went right away to the woman.
"My precious angel." She said standing up and engulfing the woman in a hug.
Jane looked at Will like "What's up?" He shrugged his shoulders since neither one understood the French the women were speaking they both were lost. He motioned Jane over to the side. Then began telling her how the woman showed up wanting to speak with Maura about an important matter. She refused to leave when she was told that she wouldn't be in and that's when Korsak got involved and now they were there.
"How can I help you Sister Kate?"
"I had a dream that my dear love Adeline came to me. She gave me words for you precious..." She paused for that to sink in to Maura, "...she said "You would have to be strong and believe right now. Never doubt yourself or your skills! A warrior fights until they can see there family again."
"Sister..."
"My Angel... Adeline only comes to my dreams when something extreme is near." She said cutting Maura off.
"I do not know what to say to that?"
"I know...you are a lady of science and the abstract is really not comforting to you. But you need to know this...never doubt anything! Evil can smell it and uses it like faith to make things happen. I will be praying for you all but especially for both of you my angels." She said and kissed Maura's cheeks and motioned for Will to come to her.
"Yes m'am...how can I help you?"
"Such a lovely young man. Will you please take me back to the convent?"
"Yes ma'am I would be honored to."
"Thank you Will I appreciate you taking care of her." Maura said smiling at the man who was escorting her and Emily's prized treasure back home.
"Maur... What was that all about?"
"She had a dream that troubled her for me so she came to give me advice." She said not lifting her head but closing her eyes holding in the fear mix with tears.
"Maur..." Jane said trying to get the woman to focus on her with little success. "Come with me." She said and pulled the woman into the women's restroom and into the handicap stall. "Maur... I'm not sure what that was all about since I can't speak French but the body language tells me it's got you all concerned again about Emily. She is going to be okay. Trust me I feel it in my gut she will come home to you." Maura just fell into Jane as she wrapped her arms around her. "Shhh... it's going to be okay." She said and pulled back after a few moments of holding the crying woman. She lifted Maura's chin up and saw blood shot eyes and leaned down and captured her lips in a slow kiss that was meant to give comfort and strength to her. They slowly pulled a part as Jane wiped tears off of Maura's cheeks. "You have to go back into court now Dr. Isles but I'm right there with you and will be until Wonder Woman is back in your arms." She said as Maura gave a small smile and left the stall to freshen up her face since she had to take the stand the moment court resumed.

JJ was driving her and Emily back to the precinct to meet up with the team. She looked over at Emily who was a thousand miles away. She started looking for a way to break the silence but knew it had to be case related to get a response at the moment. "Was that big lumberjack looking man on the telephone pole outside the Saab's house one of you special people?" Emily looked at her like "what?"
"I saw your special phone on the table and I figured you made a call."
"Oh... special isn't the word for him. A different class maybe. He will keep an eye on them until we catch the bastard that laid his hands on Nuha!"
JJ looked over at her gauging the woman's emotions because she never added adjectives to unsubs usually. She understood Emily's position totally but the out burst and anger in which the words were said was concerning. She didn't get a chance to go any further into the matter because they had arrived at the precinct. She got out of the SUV and went around to open the door. Emily smiled at her and stood up and started walking towards the building when she was over come with the urge to throw up. JJ came running up to her. "Got to get away." She yelled and started waddle running into the precinct. JJ followed as Emily made it to the rest room just in time to throw up in the trash can.
"Em...Are you okay honey." She said getting some paper towels and wetting them for the woman's neck.
"I will be...god did you smell that?"
"Smell what?"
"It smelt like a dead body mixed with formaldehyde and something else awful."
"I didn't."
"Lucky you...god it was..." She had a thought, "We need to get to Garcia."
"Are you sure you are okay?"
"Yes... I need Pen." She said as she left the bathroom and headed to the queen's desk.
"Pen..."
"You bellowed my princess?"
"Yes... have you gotten the past file on Nuha Nejem yet?"
"Em... I'm not sure who wiped the drive but they used some heavy duty crap like you and JJ have on your phones. I wish Raphy was here."
"Your wish is my command." They heard as the man came through the doors."
"Thank god." Pen said breathing a sigh of relief.
"Snowflake what are you doing here when there was the other project." Emily said looking at him as a silent conversation took place between them.
"Cat is still on that but will be here in a few hours."
"Why?" Emily said sharply.
"Apollo called and seems he just couldn't stand not having a family reunion."
"Whose Apollo? He sounds godly and so masculine." Pen said smiling.
JJ immediately knew that the lumberjack on the telephone pole had to be Apollo. "Oh...he is if it's the man I think it is." She said and smiled at Pen.
"Down both of you she wolves. He is Raphy's ex so no drooling." Emily said laughing at the two women.
"It's okay Savior they can drool but not touch. He is the lushest of eye candy for sure." He said smiling sultry.
"Whatever..." She said rolling her eyes, "I need information on this case. I also need to know who interviewed Nuha two years ago." She said as JJ watched her eyes go dark a few moments and noted to be with her when she did speak to whoever it was that had interviewed the girl because obviously they had pissed Emily off about something.
"Any luck on the debit card?" JJ asked trying to move the conversation along so Emily wouldn't dwell on whatever it was causing the deep emotion.
"You know you people only ask for things that are a needle in a haystack that other normal humans couldn't possibly began to find but with Raphy here I can focus totally on that request while he gets miss grumpy pants her past file." She said snapping back at JJ. She hated not having answers at her finger tips for the team.
"We appreciate you Pen." JJ said patting the woman on the shoulder.
"I'm going to the conference room a moment..." Emily said putting her hand up to her head, "...man that smell has gotten to me I need to sit down." She said as she left.
JJ bent down to Pen's ear, "Did you get a hold of Maura?"
"That I did buttercup. She has sent the prescriptions to a pharmacy near here and I sent Spencer to go and pick them up. I also told him to get more doughnuts"
"Good girl...you are awesome and thank you."
"Anytime sugarplum." The colorful woman said smiling that she had accomplished something. JJ followed Emily being concerned about the woman's health.
Okay hang on it get's fast after this... :)
