AN/Sorry, I'm not sure why this was having problems. I'll try it this time, hopefully everybody can read it...let me know if you can't. This used to be the last half of the chapter that is acting possessed. I figured posting it seperate may help.
"We need a strike team on the Johnson home." Hotch watched as JJ called the local police department and FBI field office. Taking compassion on the blonde who was likely going through a difficult time (though she would never admit it) Hotch quickly decided to intervene.
"JJ. I want you to go back to the Rossi and Reid's house. We might have missed something, and all other available units will be making there way here. I'd hate to leave the scene compromised." He suggested. Both knew it was an opportunity to keep her as far as possible from whatever may have been done to Reid in the time that the UNSUB had him.
"Hotch, I'd really rather--"
"This isn't actually up for debate." He interrupted. Concern for a friend was one thing, but as the Agent in Charge, he couldn't let an agent he believed to be compromised to be in a position where her emotions would get involved. The future relationship of JJ and Reid had been on his mind, and he wasn't about to let it influence a case.
"Fine." She stormed off, not wanting to show how upset she really was. Did he really think that she wasn't able to handle it?
"Hotch, are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, with multiple unsubs, we need all the agents we can get, and---" Emily began, feeling for her blonde friend who only wanted to ensure the safety of the man she loved.
"Prentiss, why don't you go with her." Hotch dismissed. He wasn't about to allow JJ to be apart of the arrest, and if Emily could not accept that, then she would have to be taken off as well.
"Fine." Emily said begrudgingly, grabbing her blonde friend by the arm, pulling her toward the door.
"Why don't you take Becca with you. This is going to be a confusing and hard experiance for her, it would help her a lot if you two could explain things. Also, it wouldn't hurt to have someone there to comfort her." Hotch called as an after thought. He really did feel badly for this girl, and she had seemed to have bonded with JJ. He wanted to do all he could to help Becca out, and to keep JJ from the Johnson home. It also didn't hurt that Hotch did not want to comfort and befriend the 16 year-old girl himself. All Aaron Hotchner wanted to do was get his agents back and have a good, clean arrest.
"So, you're actually like 30?" Becca asked from the backseat. She was trying to think about anything other than how her family was apparently a serial-killer team, and the fact that her best friend turned out to be an undercover FBI agent was a good distraction.
"Twenty-six" JJ responded absent-mindedly.
"Are you actually dating Spencer?" Becca questioned, indifferent of the answer. All she wanted was noise, people talking or music or loud car alarms or anything, to drown out her thoughts with. JJ's one word answers were not helping her any.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that. We didn't get together until we went undercover, so its still a little new. I mean... I don't know where it is going after this is over. But, I consider him my boyfriend. We are going to see how well a relationship goes when we get back to Washington." JJ said, mentally adding if he survives this. She felt guilty that the key to all of this mess was right under her nose, all she had to do was ask, and she never noticed. JJ felt like if she had been more perceptive and less distracted, then Spence would have never been abducted. But JJ was secretly glad that she had that distraction. Under no other circumstances would she have ever gotten to tell him how much she really did love him, or hear how much he cared for her.
"Your twenty-six and you still took chemistry?" Becca asked, waking JJ up out of her thoughts.
"Yeah, I didn't have a choice." JJ replied smugly, but Prentiss interrupted.
"She had to take the class, but she didn't have to actually pass it or do the homework. She decided that she wasn't going to fail high school-even when it was just for cover. That's just how in control our little ..." Emily began teasingly but stopped once she gaged the reaction of those who where in the car with her. She felt guilty for trying to make a joke at the completely wrong time. JJ was worried about Reid and Becca was dealing with the fact her parents and brother were murderers, they were not exactly the prime audiance for the Emily Prentiss stand up comedy show. So, Emily grew quiet and kept her eyes on the road. Approaching the house that Rossi and Reid shared in silence, Emily noticed something. She looked to see if her coworker was looking, but JJ seemed to have fallen asleep during the relatively short journey.
"Hey, JJ?" Emily began softly.
"Em, I'm just really tired." JJ said without opening her eyes.
"I know that, it's just...it looks like someone's inside at Rossi's."
AN/Thanks for being patient!
