Well, here's chapter fourteen. Once again, I'd like to say thank you for all those who review, and once again I'd like (well, have) to say that I do not own them.

This chapter is pretty boring, at least I thought so. But it's necessary because this can't be a complete JJcentric piece, can it? I mean, they are on a case.

Anyways, enjoy!

This time, JJ and Emily did not oversleep and they were actually a little early. However, they were not surprised to find Reid there, studying a file with furrowed brow.

"What's up, Reid?" Emily asked, trying to look into the file. "Jonathan Mendel? Who's that?"

"Our unsub," Reid replied, receiving surprised gasps from both women.

"What? How have you figured out? Why is he our unsub?"

Reid looked up, his brown eyes swiftly looking at JJ before he turned to Emily, who'd been asking the questions. "Actually, I didn't. Garcia did. There are three people her search applied to, and one is only a little girl, and the other one has just died, so Mendel is the only one left. Garcia only just called me, I was about to wake the others up."

"What makes him our unsub?" JJ interfered, feeling elated this bastard was finally going to get stopped.

"There is a note attached to his file saying he has displayed violent behaviour to some of his classmates, according to him because they bullied him. Garcia did some research on the class and found a newspaper article about the unusual closeness of the class. After school, they all went to New York to study. Every student but Mendel."

"Aahhh," Emily said, beginning to see. "I was right; he is killing because his victims reminded him of people - his classmates, apparently. How many people were in that class?"

"About twenty," Reid answered, adding: "So we have to catch him now, because he's not finished yet."

At that point, Hotch, Rossi and Morgan walked in. "Who's not finished yet?" Rossi asked, looking from one to another.

"Garcia found our unsub," Reid told him, and he gave them a name and address. JJ went for her jacket, but Hotch stopped her. "JJ, Reid, you stay here to tell Hannah. Come on people, we've got a murderer to catch."

They hurriedly left for Mendel's home, leaving JJ and Reid behind in what was a surprised silence. Hotch usually let all of them go. JJ suspected he wanted to keep her safe, and Reid wasn't the best with arrests.

JJ and Reid decided to search for Hannah, whom they hadn't seen yet. JJ was curious whether Hannah would react any different to her: she knew she would.

However, they could not find her: eventually they found Detective Milano, who informed them that Hannah was on another case today. JJ and Reid stood there a little helpless, not really knowing what to do. JJ supposed she could do some of the never-ending paperwork, but she wasn't in the mood for it, not alone anyway. So she asked Reid to join her, and together they made their way through a bunch of forms and the small fine prints.

They worked in silence, but it was a comfortable one. Ever since Reid had been abducted, he and JJ had become closer – not in words or spending time together. JJ didn't really know how to describe it, but it was a closeness she treasured.

After an hour or two, they heard the team coming back. Standing up, they both hurriedly left the small office to see every one of the team walking in. Judging by their faces, JJ could see they had caught Mendel.

Walking towards the team, she briefly saw that Morgan had a bandage around his arm, before Hotch blocked her view.

"We're okay, and we caught him. We found evidence of five of the nine murders in his basement, and he will confess soon enough."

He was saying this to JJ and Reid, who relaxed after hearing this. It was always hard to stay behind while the rest of their team was on their way to do something dangerous –JJ couldn't imagine what Garcia went through every time they left–, and it was always nice to hear some good news.

After a few moments of general chit-chat, she went back to the little office with all the files, deciding she'd do as much as she could, while she could. Reid saw her leaving and followed her, something she was grateful for. She still didn't feel like being all on her own.

"Good thing we caught him, eh? If we hadn't, he would definitely have killed more," Reid said, trying to make conversation.

"Uhu," JJ replied distractedly. "But that's what we do, trying to do good things." Reid nodded, for once not starting one of his assessments of their job. He just slipped into the room, pulled a stack of paper to him and starting leafing through it.

A couple of files further, Emily stuck her head around the door. "Hey, care for a bite?" She asked the question directly to JJ, and Reid was wise enough not to interfere. He had noticed JJ's odd behaviour and had his own theories for it, but he knew JJ wouldn't easily tell him anything, so far now he relied on Emily to support her in that way.

"Yeah, sure," JJ replied, knowing there was no way out. "Let's go to that lunchroom around the corner." She stood up, grabbing her purse and coat. "How much time do we have?" she asked Emily, wanting to know when they would leave.

"We'll first have to wait until the storm down south is over," Emily answered. JJ nodded: she had heard something about a storm near New York.

After telling the rest of the team where they were heading, they walked out of the police station, turning the corner to the lunchroom JJ had in mind. It was a cute little place, complete with curtains and candles.

She took a deep breath before turning the door knob.

This was it.

Told you... pretty boring. The next chapter, however... You know what's gonna happen there, but I'll keep you in suspense for a couple more days anyway. I'm at a friend's place now, and maybe I will upload tomorrow. Otherwise it'll be when I'm home again.
