*Okay as always I own nothing of Criminal Minds or Rizzoli & Isles just enjoying using the characters.

Chapter Four

Jane sat in the front seat with Morgan on the way to where the body had been dropped. She could tell the two women needed to be close even if it was just sitting in the back seat together. Maura had reached over and caught JJ's hand and pulled her closer to herself needing the contact.

"So Maura do you have any clue what Emily was writing in her journal yesterday? We first thought it was in Arabic but that proved to be incorrect only part of it was and Jaclyn said it wasn't in Farsi so what was your woman writing in?" Morgan asked as he looked in the review mirror.

"Journal? There's a journal." Maura looked at JJ as hope started filling her heart.

"Yes...it is in..." She said as she leaned over the back of her seat and pulled it out, "...my bag," and handed it to Maura.

Maura noticed that most of it was in English and part in Arabic. Then she turned the page and saw Greek and took in a big gulp of air trying to stave off the tears.

"Maura..." JJ patted her arm.

"It's ok. She wrote this part in Greek."

"Yeah Reid thought as much but he didn't have time to interpret it yet." She said keeping her hand on the woman's arm.

Maura took her time in reading the handwriting before her. She felt of the grooves on the paper as if trying to absorb the very content. "Care to share with the rest of the common folks?" Jane asked as she was getting impatient waiting on the translation.

"Well...I'll read it to you but you will not understand it."

There is a community of the spirit.

Join it, and feel the delight

of walking in the noisy street

and being the noise.

Drink all your passion,

and be a disgrace.

Close both eyes

to see with the other eye.

Open your hands,

if you want to be held.

Sit down in the circle.

Quit acting like a wolf, and feel

the shepherd's love filling you...***

"God can't you people just speak in English...like I'm over here." Jane said throwing her hands up in the air as everyone laughed.

"Jane...I know it makes you crazy but it does go with what Sister Kate told me at the court house...remember?"

"What? Sister Kate came and talked to you about Emily?" JJ asked intrigued that there was something else.

"Yes she told me that she had a dream of Adeline. She told her in the dream to tell me,"Never doubt anything! Evil can smell it and uses it like faith to make things happen."

"You got that from the poem Emily wrote?" Jane asked looking at her friend like she was crazy.

"Yes...Emily is telling me to go to the third eye and see. When the poem said to close both eyes I have to trust my skills and the best skill I have is my relationship with Emily."

"Are you and JJ going to end up in the..."

"Jane!" JJ yelled and then looked at Morgan.

"Hey I'm here for y'all. Don't stop the chatter on my account."

"Shut up or I'll sick Garcia on you." JJ said.

"You are like Emily with threats. You don't scare me...Hey now...I'm driving." He said swatting the hand that smacked him away.

"And that's all you will do big man." Maura said after softly popping the man on the head catching him off guard. He looked in the mirror but she had her eyes closed and was meditating.

"Did y'all hear and see her? She acted just like Emily."

"Yep... and I would walk carefully right now around her because she is both." JJ said smiling at the man.

"Crap...this stuff is just freaky."

"Tell me about it." Jane said as she fist bumped him.

Maura opened her eyes and looked at the rest of the journal, "Jennifer the rest of this is written in Amharic. You will have to get Raphy or Jaclyn to get Z-man to translate it. I can only speak it and make out a few written words. I am sure there is a reason she wrote it that way." Maura said getting their attention.

"How many languages does she know?" Jane asked shaking her head at all the different ways the woman wrote.

"Several... the ones she doesn't know she usually can figure out quickly."

"It must be a museum in her head."

"Why would you say that Jane?" JJ asked confused at the comment.

"She knows so many words for just simple things. How much space does that take up in her brain? That was rhetorical google mouth." She said before Maura started telling them how much space Emily's knowledge of languages actually took.

"We are here." Morgan announced.

"Thank God." Jane said as she opened the door.

"Jane wait..." Maura said and handed her a mask for her nose and mouth.

"Maur..." Jane whined.

"No Jane..." She said handing them all one, "Asbestos is very harmful. I will be suiting up and I suggest you do the same."

"I'll wear your mask but I'm not wearing paper clothes."

"Then you will be waiting here by the SUV for us to return."

"Maur...you said you were suggesting wearing it."

"That was before you decided not to heed the suggestion." She said as Jane stomped her foot in frustration at her friend.

"Okay you two...lets just get dressed and get to the body." JJ said laughing at the two best friends.

The restored files really didn't give any new information on the case other than the Sargent was truly a bigot. This they already knew from their earlier interactions. They were working on what JJ had sent to them from Emily's journal. Raphy was trying to get in contact with Z-man so he could translate it but was having difficulty finding him. The Ambassador and Rossi walked in with a stream load of people behind them from different agencies as he was working on it.

"Penelope dear..." She said getting the woman's attention, "Where is my daughter?"

"We still do not know ma'am." She said sadly.

"Oh dear woman, I meant Maura."

"She is in the field with the team. They are recovering a body that was found earlier."

"Yes we were..." They turned and saw Maura and the rest coming in. She came up to the Ambassador and kissed her on both cheeks.

"Any news dear?"

"No Elizabeth and I'm concerned. She was having blood pressure issues earlier."

"It will be alright you will find her with your heart I'm sure of it." Maura looked at the woman strangely but shook her head in an affirmative manor.

"If you'll excuse me now, I need to get to my autopsy."

"Didn't you look at the dead girl enough out there? And who are all these people?" Waterman said gruffly.

Maura started to answer him but Elizabeth held up her hand. "Dave dear, can you ask Tom to step in here please?"

"Yes dear." He said smiling knowing the crap was going to hit the fan. He truly loved seeing his women in battle.

"Now sir you will address me as Ambassador Elizabeth Prentiss and forgive me for not knowing your title or name since I wasn't given the honor of that information." She said extending her hand as the man almost swallowed his tongue. The team all closed their eyes and smiled knowing that the full blown Prentiss persona was now in play. They almost felt sorry for the man that was in way over his head in red tape and had no clue that he was. "I am Sargent James Waterman...ma'am." He said stiffing up straight with his chest poked out.

"Well Sargent James Waterman..." She paused as her old friend Tom came to her side, "This is Governor Tom Wolf... I believe you maybe acquainted with him." She said and turned to the man beside her, "Tom this is Sargent James Waterman. He has been on the case that my daughter was invited into help solve for almost two years now. He doesn't believe that there is any need for such an investigation even though my pregnant daughter has been kidnapped. He has even gone as far as to impede my other daughter from finding her through blocking her authority to retrieve a body connected with this investigation."

"That's not true! That dyke came in here..." The man yelled interrupting the Ambassador but stopped abruptly when she turned and looked at him with a cold stare.

"I believe he also has a bad temper and uses derogatory phrases. I realize this is a stressful situation but I would ask that you make it clear to Sargent James Waterman the importance of his corporation and who has what authority in this matter."

"It will be taken care of Elizabeth." He said as he pointed to a room where the man's bosses where waiting and they walked away.

JJ came up to the Ambassador, "Elizabeth...I'm not so sure that was wise. I think he may actually know where Emily is."

"Don't worry dear. That man will not pee without Jaclyn knowing it." She said smiling. JJ followed her eyes and sure enough there was Jaclyn in full police gear dressed as a man. "He is getting a new partner."

"You are too good." JJ said and hugged her. "I see where Emily got her ability to piss unsubs off though. That was such a great performance." JJ smiled at the woman.

"Dear you flatter me too much. My daughter has so taken that skill to another level. I've never made anyone want to kidnap me."

"True." They looked at each other and shook their heads and giggled in agreement.

Maura interrupted the two of them, "Thank you Elizabeth for your help. I'm on my way to start the autopsy." She said hugging the woman again.

"Any time dear. Let me know if you find out anything."

"I will." She said as she started walking out with Jane but stopped after smelling something out of place in the police station. She followed the scent to a trash can but it was empty.

"Maura honey what is it?" JJ asked as she saw the woman looking for something.

"Jennifer you said Emily became ill after smelling something."

"Yes she did. It almost made her violent ill."

"The scent on this trash can belongs in a morgue not in a police station. It is a mixture of human bile, formaldehyde and febreze."

"Sorry Maura but we do not smell it." Jane said innocently.

Maura lifted the can up to her nose and she almost lost it. "God Maur...get that away from me!"

"Emily is pregnant that is why she smelt it and we couldn't." JJ finally put it together. "When I was carrying Henry I swear I could smell everything."

"It's a product of estrogen in expectant mothers that make their sense of smell heightened."

"What does that have to do with anything Mrs. McGriff?"

"Who?" JJ asked.

"Jane has called me a crime dog for along time now."

"Anyone who can smell a dead body in a sculpture deserves the title." She said smiling.

"What?"

"Never mind it's a story for a girls night at Maura's." Jane said trying to find out what Maura was thinking. But her last comment sent Maura into the memory of their last girls night...well the next morning as she shuddered at remembering the intensity of her and Emily's love making.

JJ felt the change in her friend and stepped up and wrapped her arms around her and kissed her cheek. "We'll find her Maura. Go do your autopsy and we will let you know what we find out here." She said and pulled her tightly again then released her. Jane followed the woman to the SUV that Morgan was driving them to the morgue in.

Emily awoke and found that she wasn't alone in the smelly basement because she could hear the faint crying of what she thought was a young girl. "Whose hear?" She asked because she couldn't see the face of the person the cries were coming from.

"My name is Nuha."

Emily's heart sank but she took in a deep breath in trying to quail her own fear and almost threw up again. All she could smell was vomit where she had thrown up earlier. That's also when she noticed she was laying in a puddle of her own urine. She tried to move any part of her body to get up but she was strapped tightly.

"Nuha...' innaha li 'iimili (it's me Emily) sayakun bikhayr (it will be okay)

"Emily...why is this happening again?"

"Because we are close to capturing the men who are responsible for this."

"Capturing them...They have us." The girl said in disbelief.

"I know love but I have many friends that I am sure are on there way to get us." That was her hope anyway. She wondered where Apollo had gotten to if the girl was with her.

"I'm scared."

"I know just remember...fi alwaqie, rabbi alqarib waistijaba (Indeed, my Lord is near and responsive.)

"You know the Quran?"

"I've read it...I believe that was from Surah Hud 11:61

"Yes part of it."

"I believe it's the part we are needing at the moment." She said and half laughed hoping it would make the girl feel better.

"Emily..."

"Yes love."

"I have trouble believing that sometimes." The soft dejected voice said.

"I know honey... I too have had moments but Allah has never failed me. You will see. It will be alright." She said with all the surety of her heart. Then closed her eyes and started meditating on Maura hoping their connection had been repaired enough for her to hear her thoughts like they did in boarding school. "Please God let her hear me."

More to come...
