Chapter 2

"Yes Detective Benson, we understand." Hotch says, before Cragen adds.

"You two take as much time as you both need." Cragen said.

"Thank you both." Olivia replied.

Elliot rolls his eyes as Liv and JJ gathered their things and exited the precinct.

' Why is everyone except me so eager to work with these Feds?' Elliot thought to himself before pulling out his phone and dialing his new girlfriend Pauline's number.

Three Pride members drove Gina's body to Central Park and put her in a shallow grave, still wearing only the gloves.

The drive from the 1-6 to Olivia's apartment was relatively quiet, until JJ broke the awkward silence.

"Do you think I'm weak or letting my emotions get away from me, Liv?" JJ asked.

"Sweetheart, these cases are very taxing emotionally, and sometimes we can't help how we react to them, that means that you're human, not weak."

Penelope had just finished trying to trace the IP address of the Gina Miles video with no luck after she hit an M-482 Firewall that had a scrambler attached to it, the blonde Technical Analyst then began working on getting past the firewall when Derek came up to her with a stack of files.

"Hey Baby Girl, Emily, Blake, and I are done with Ms. Novak's files on the nine previous victims. Would you return them to her while we go and speak to those victim's families again?"

"Sure my chocolate Adonis, hand em over." Penelope said excitedly before bounding out of her seat and heading up the stairs to Casey's office, Blake, Emily, Munch, and Fin all noticed this and smiled.

"Detective Tutuola, Blake, Munch, Emily, hurry out to Central Park, a body has been found." Hotch says as he jogged into the room.

"All right, let's go." Alex said.

Casey Novak is sitting in her office reading Melinda's autopsy reports on Marlene Dawson, victim number one and Carla Tai, victim number six, Casey absolutely felt sick as she read through the myriad of injuries suffered by both women.

"What kind of monster could knowingly do this to someone else?" Casey said to herself. A light knock on her office door brought the redhead out of her thoughts.

"Who is it?" Casey asked gently.

"It's Penelope Garcia from the BAU Ms. Novak, I returning your files to you." Garcia said from outside the door.

"Come in, Ms. Garcia." Casey said cheerfully, Penelope opened the door and walked into Casey's office.

"Here are your files back and thank you for letting our team use them." Garcia says.

"Anytime, Ms. Garcia." Casey chirped.

"Just Penelope, please. You make me sound older, kind of like an old teacher." Garcia says with a nervous laugh.

Casey gets up from her desk and walks around to where Penelope is standing and locked eyes with her.

"Believe me Penelope, I would never think of someone as gorgeous as you are to be old." Casey replied with a seductive smile that made Penelope blush.

"Th-thanks Casey." Penelope says, I have to get back to the team." Penelope says quickly before leaving the redhead's office.

Olivia and JJ pulled into the parking lot of Olivia's apartment building, the two women took the elevator up to Olivia's floor.

"Liv, I-I've been thinking about...you know us." JJ said.
Olivia looked at her blonde lover, unsure of what she was about to say.

"OK JJ, and what have you decided about us?" Liv asked.
The elevator doors opened and the pair exited the elevator, Liv reaching into jeans and pulling out her keys before reaching her door.

After unlocking the door, Olivia and JJ made their way inside the brunette's apartment. JJ walked over to the plush couch and sits down, kicking off her heels in the process. Olivia quickly joins JJ on the couch.

"JJ, what did you decide about us?" Olivia asked again, her brown eyes ablaze with worry.
JJ looked at Olivia and smiled at her, the blonde then leaned over and gives Olivia a chaste kiss on the lips.

"I love you Olivia Benson and I want to marry you." JJ says.
Olivia smiles and pulls JJ into her lap and kisses her passionately, JJ cups Olivia's face gently as their kiss deepened.

Olivia slowly broke the kiss and moved to kiss JJ's neck, which caused the blonde Agent to gasp sharply. Olivia loved the taste, the smell, and the feel of JJ's body when she was aroused. It was positively intoxicating and Olivia couldn't get enough.

JJ swung her hips around so that she is now straddling Olivia on the couch.

"Let's go to my bedroom, my darling." Olivia said sweetly.

"You read my mind, Liv babe." JJ replied.
