Chapter 3

I walked into the room and saw that Morgan was placing the photo's he took of the body up on the board while Reid and Prentiss went over the statements of the people who found the body.

"Has the parents of Ross Freedman show up yet?" I asked

"They just did" the Sheriff said as he entered the room "There waiting to see you" he added as I snuck a glance at Emily, she was too busy reading the statement to even notice I walked in. I nodded at him before walking out and greeting them.

"Are you Agent Jareau?" the woman asked "Yes, but please call me JJ" I said

"I'm Maria Freedman, and this is my husband Roy" she introduced as I shook her hand. I showed them to the spare office where they sat down and looked at me "Do you know who did this to our Ross?" she asked as her voice wavered a bit.

"Not yet, but my team is working hard to find the man who did this" I answered

Roy nodded slightly as Maria tried to wipe the tears that were treading down her cheeks "Has there been anything different about Ross in the past couple of weeks?" I asked as she looked at her husband and sighed "Ross had just gotten out of a relationship with his ex-girlfriend" she said

"Why did they break-up?" I said as Roy's eyes hardened

"Ross was having an affair" he grumbled, Maria sighed "We knew something was different as soon as we found this" she said as she placed a photo of the victim kissing a man at the beach. I looked at the photo before asking them if I could keep it.

"Go right ahead, poor bastard can burn in hell for all I care." Roy snapped.

"Thank you" I said before getting up and walking out towards everyone else "I think I know why Ross opened a new bank account" I said as I set the photo on the table. Everyone turned their attention to the picture on the table "He was gay" Rossi said as I nodded "The new bank account could have been to the man in this photo" Emily added, Hotch pulled out his phone and punching in a number before placing it on speaker.

"You've reached the lovely and magical Garcia, what do you need?" she asked as Morgan smirked a bit "Garcia I'm about to send a photo to you do you think you can find out who the man next to our victim is?" he asked.

"I will use all of my wonderful gifts and get it back to you as fast as I can" she replied "Thanks Garcia" he said before hanging up "So he didn't want anyone to find out he was gay, what if our suspect is homophobic" Morgan asked.

"It would explain the stabbing through the heart" Emily stated before Hotch nodded "It's getting late, I say everyone should go back to the hotel and get some rest".

"Amen to that" Rossi said as everyone laughed.

When I arrived at the hotel I stopped by the counter to grab the room key as Emily stood awkwardly beside me "So" she blurted out, I glanced at her before grabbing the key from the man and walking to the elevator with her "You said you wanted to talk" I stated as the door closed and I pressed the number for the fifth floor "Yeah uh I wanted to talk about what happened in the SUV back there" she said, I sighed before shaking my head as the it started off, I reached across and cupped her cheek before ever so softly placing my lips on hers. Emily stood there frozen when I pulled back and shook my head "I'm sorry, I didn't have any right to do that" I said as she nodded "I didn't even know you were gay" she replied when I stopped and turned to look back at her.

"Is there anything wrong with being gay?" I asked as she didn't answer I clenched my jaw and turned back towards the door holding the card out and waiting for the green light to appear before opening it. I walked in first only to see one queen size bed "Well then" I sighed as I placed my bag on the table "Don't worry I'll take the couch so you don't have to share a bed with a gay person" I hissed which made her frown.

"I didn't mean it like that Jennifer. Honestly I'm flattered that you like me, but I'm not like you" she answered as I felt my chest ache "I understand" I nodded before walking into the bathroom and going through my nightly routine of getting changed, brushing my hair and teeth before washing my face. I walked out a few minutes later to see Emily sitting on the corner of the bed.

"Goodnight Emily" I stated before laying down on the couch, I heard her shuffling through some of her things before she swore under her breath "Jennifer get up" she said

I sat up and crossed my arms over my chest "What do you want?" I asked sharply

"I don't even know what I'm doing, I mean I'm not gay." She babbled on as I looked puzzled at her "What do you mean?" I said before she bent down and captured her lips with mine, I automatically stood up and placed my hands on her sides as she mimicked my moves before reality quickly brought me back to what was going on as I pulled away slightly.

"Emily what are you doing?" I murmured as she pulled me over to the bed "Just shut up and kiss me please".

Hey Guys, this is going to be the last post for a couple of days (3 or 4 at most). Cramming for a major history test. Thank you for the reviews! ~ Kay
