A/N: Hey guys! I had the first part of my first IB exam today! It was pretty good :) I have the second half of this one and then two more to go...ew. Haha anyways I should be able to update again on Friday because that is literally my one free day for the next two weeks. I hope y'all enjoy!
The second Riley stepped in the door late that night, she was greeted by JJ's eager lips on hers.
"Wow, I missed you too." Riley said between kisses.
JJ tugged at Riley's shirt, and as soon as Riley dropped her bag shrugged off her jacket, she allowed the blonde to take it off over her head. They went straight for the sitting room couch, and immediately dove into one another.
For Riley, sex with JJ was better than any man. They were careful and slow with one another, with rushes of fast passion. JJ knew it could never compare to being with Will, because that was simply unfair. They exploded with euphoria as the minutes passed, and when they were done, Riley pulled the closest throw blanket over their bare bodies, and slipped into peaceful rest.
A few hours later, JJ's mind woke her up, and she remembered that she was returning to the BAU the next day. She would have to make it clear to her teammates and fellow BAU workers that she didn't want their sympathy and she'd moved on.
'What if they find out about me and Riley? What will people think?'
She'd never thought she'd face the challenges of a gay woman in American society until now; she couldn't escape public eye anymore. She was relieved when Riley told her that she'd told Gabriel about their relationship and that he was completely accepting and supportive of it, but JJ knew most people would not have the same decency. She didn't want to be judged any more than she already had in her life. She also knew that she would have to return home that weekend; Henry's nanny had agreed to let him stay with her but that could only last so long.
She decided to ignore these questions and indulge herself in what was quite possibly her last peaceful night with the girl she loved for awhile.

The following morning, the pair rushed through their morning routines and headed off to work, Riley leaving before JJ.
When JJ finally sat at her desk in the BAU, she opened up her purse to see a missed call from Riley on her cell phone. When she called back, it went straight to voicemail.
"Everyone, Garcia is ready for us." Hotch called out to JJ, Morgan, Reid, and Prentiss. JJ sighed and walked with Morgan as they headed into the round table room, finding Rossi already seated and looking at the file on his iPad, Hotch sitting next to him. JJ placed herself between Hotch and Morgan, readying herself for what Garcia had to show them.
"Alright kittens, this one is creepy and not so cool to say the least. The city of Greenville, New Jersey has been losing local government officers to an unfortunate series of break-ins that result in said officer well…for lack of a better term, tied up."
On the screen, images of middle-aged men in their pajamas with their throats slashed and their hands and feet bound by rope appeared on the large screen in front of them.
"How were they found? Usually local government is protected by serious cyber security, and no one would ever put any of their information in any address book." Rossi asked.
"See that's where it gets really weird. Now, it is possible to hack into the local PD's system and you can find all sorts of information on government employees, and that's most likely how our little creep is finding these guys." Garcia looked at all of them, her wide eyes then drifting to Hotch.
"So, I decided to call in an expert on CyberCom." Hotch looked at the door, everyone following his gaze.
JJ's heart dropped when none other than Gabriel walked in, with Riley following close behind.
'Well, damn it.'

"Everyone, this is-"
"Gabriel Vaughn! The first ever human being to have a computer microchip legally planted in their brain by the United States Government!" Reid cut Hotch off, his voice speeding up and raising slightly as he became excited.
"And you're Dr. Spencer Reid. IQ of 187…multiple impressive degrees all earned before you were thirty…recruited by the FBI at twenty-one years of age…dude, you graduated high school at thirteen?" Gabriel rambled off the information, everyone suddenly taken aback.
"How did you…" Prentiss eyeballed him.
"Well, the benefits of having a microchip in your brain. I have access to every information database to ever exist. So, I can pull up every last bit of information on every single person in this building." Gabriel allowed himself to be slightly cocky, fully aware that the agents were impressed with him. He then turned to Riley,
"This is my lovely partner and protector, Agent Riley Neal."
Riley smiled at them and nodded in acknowledgment, avoiding looking at JJ for too long.
They made their introductions, JJ opting to go last, trying to decide if she was to pretend whether she knew Gabriel or not.
"JJ, good to see you again." Gabriel shook her hand and smiled at her.
"Again?" Morgan asked, "You two know each other?"
"We uh m-met through Riley." JJ stumbled, her eyes quickly flashing to her secret girlfriend as she did.
"Right, I forgot. Sorry." Morgan looked at the three of them, his voice still having just the slightest sense of lingering disbelief.
"Garcia will also be joining us." Hotch finished with a curt nod.
As they walked out into the bullpen, Prentiss whispered to JJ,
"So uh, Gabriel Vaughn. He's hot, right?" Prentiss nudged JJ and winked at her playfully.
"Emily! It's not like that trust me."
"Uh-huh. Whatever you say hot stuff." Emily sped up giddily and practically floated back to her desk. JJ couldn't believe that, considering how on-spot Emily was last time she guessed who JJ was dating, she was now so far off.
'This is gonna be a long and eventful case…'
