Chapter 5
5:30PM
"Hey Morgan".
"Hey Princess, did you and Rizzoli find anything?"
"No, both crime scenes are the same as the reports, nothing was missed".
"Same here, the others didn't find anything either and we are all back at the PD".
"Bummer, ok, Jane and I are on our way back".
"Ok".
"The others didn't find anything and are already back, we have to head back too".
"Ok, well let's go".
The two headed back to Jane's car and got in before making their way back. Jane could still feel the tension coming off Emily.
"You should ask Jayj out. I think she would say yes".
"Did you not hear what I said earlier about minding your own business?"
"Yes I did. I'm not trying to steal your girl Emily; I guarantee that's why you don't like me. Yes I'm gay, but I have a girl of my own".
Emily stared at Jane for a minute to check if she was telling the truth before looking away. Lately Emily had been feeling like everyone was a threat and they were after Jennifer. Maybe Jane was right, maybe she should ask her out.
8:00PM
After three hours of going back over files and still getting nothing Korsak came running into the interrogation room.
"Hotchner, we have another victim".
"Ok we will all go to the crime scene, everyone go in the same cars as earlier".
"Sure".
They all started filing out with sad looks and frowns. They really thought they would have some leads or at least a profile before this unsub killed again, Rossi walked out beside Hotch.
"I thought we would get him before another victim; let's hope the killer was sloppy this time".
"I hope so Rossi".
After about twenty minutes the team arrived at three crime scene. Jayj went off to deal with the reporters, Hotch to the leading officer standing a few feet away from the body and the rest of the team followed Maura. After a few minutes Morgan spoke when it looked like Maura had something to tell them.
"So what's the verdict doc?"
"Well it indicates she was raped from the bruises on her thighs and torso and by the ripped clothing. There are a few broken ribs on both sides. She died from the scalpel being plunged into her chest but the actual cause of death I can't tell you until I do an autopsy".
"What do you mean you can't tell us? Can't you just guess for now?"
The Boston team looked at Morgan and laughed. Maura had a known reputation of always being factual and she doesn't guess about anything. Maura looked at Morgan with a frown on her face but before she could grill Morgan on all the reasons why guessing is wrong Jane jumped in.
"Maura doesn't guess she likes to be right. You are just going to have to wait for the autopsy res…"
Before Jane could finish what she was saying she was interrupted by Emily yelling.
"Shots, everyone get down now".
Emily yelled as she heard the shots that bounced off the wall over near Jennifer and the reporters at the top end of the alley. Three more shots rang out but they all hit the wall. After a few minutes when they were sure it had passed everyone got off the ground and leaned against the wall of the alley.
"Is everyone alright?"
Hotch looked around to see all of his team as well as Korsak, Frost, Maura and Rizzoli. Emily was looking around frantically, her look turned from one of worry and concern to terrified. She walked up the alley to see where Jennifer went.
"Jayj".
Her heart pounded faster and she called out the blonde's name a few times and after not getting a response she heard some of the reporters yelling for help. When she got to the end of the alley her heart completely stopped, her face went deathly pale and she was momentarily stunned. The blonde who was her best friend and the woman she secretly loved was lying on the ground with her hand to her stomach, a bright red patch on the pristinely cleaned and ironed white shirt she was wearing with a group of reporters surrounding her. When Emily was sure she was able to move her feet again she raced over to kneel down beside her, yelling for help on her way.
"JENNIFER! WE NEED HELP OVER HERE"
"Em… Emi… Emily".
Jennifer found it hard to talk and her eye lids were slowing drooping. She felt tired, her head felt heavy and her stomach really hurt.
The rest of the BAU team showed up moments later after hearing Emily's frantic yell and stood closely behind a kneeling Emily holding Jayj's hand, soon followed by Jane, Korsak, Frost and Maura. Maura pushed past the rest and kneeled down beside Emily with her medical examiner bag and got to work quickly pulling stuff out.
"Emily the ambulance is four minutes away but I can stop the bleeding now".
Everyone looked at Maura and then Hotch spoke giving Maura the go ahead. Everyone watched as Maura got to work. After about three minutes the bleeding was temporarily stopped but Jayj was still getting pale and going in and out of consciousness. After another few seconds Emily couldn't keep her awake anymore by talking to her and Jayj went into full unconsciousness. Emily shook her a few times but she was still unresponsive. Emily began to frantically panic and looked like she was about to faint.
"JENNIFER! No Jen keep your eyes open. NO JEN. We need the medics NOW".
