"Where is she?" I bounded into JJ's office. Lucky enough that no one else was in there with her. She furrowed her brow in my direction, obviously annoyed that I interrupted so rudely. At this point, I couldn't care about anything but Emily's whereabouts.

She looked me in the eye. "I'm sorry Derek. I have no idea what you are talking about." She responded coolly, with just the slightest sass.

"Emily. Where is Emily located?"

Her expression softened. The same look everyone gave me when I talked about Em. Except this time I noticed some guilt laced in there. "Derek. You know where she is at. We buried her 7 months ago."

She stood and rounded the corner of her desk so that we were standing facing each other.

"Don't JJ. Don't pull that Bullshit with me. I saw her tonight. I saw her leave your office. I know she's alive."

She looked at me pleadingly. Like she didn't want me to make her tell me. "Derek I don't know what you want me to say. She's gone. You saw a look alike. It happens to me all the time. Sometimes I swear I see her too."

I shook my head in frustration. "NO JJ! Stop with the excuses. I know it was her. She validated it herself. She left me a note." I watched as her expression changed.

"She left you a note?" I nodded. "Shit Emily. Are you trying to actually die?" She muttered.

"So you know where she is." I stated. A fact, not a question. She nodded.

"Technically, I do. But Derek, it's not like you can go and see her."

I scoffed. "That's Bullshit JJ. She's been here obviously. So she's not at a safe house. Which means whatever she went into hiding for is not a threat anymore."

"Doyle's men are still out there." She stated sternly. "If they find out she's alive, they'll use us to get to her. They know how much we mean to her. That's why she left the first time. The bureau is protecting us." She noted.

"I don't need protection- I need Emily." I gritted me teeth. "So where is she, JJ?"

Seeming to admit defeat, she sighed.

"You're not gonna like it." She mumbled.

"I don't care."

"She's in Chicago, Derek. At your mother's house."
