"Prentiss."
"Greenaway."
"Morgan."
"Alright, I'm Hotchner, you can call me Hotch, Gideon is over there, Stanley is…. He'll be here sooner or later, and Sheldon, she's going to be meeting us there."
"Yes sir." All three trainees said with grins on their faces.
"Welcome to hell, I'll brief you later."
"A kid case! Our first case is a kid case, you have got to be joking." Elle looked at the man.
"Yes, if you have a problem with it, I suggest you pick a different lifestyle." Elle didn't like his answer but she held her tongue, he was young with her luck he'd still be the unit chief when she finished and started at the BAU.
"Sorry sir, she's just really excited, and kids really get to her." Emily stood up for Elle.
"Well good, if they don't then I'd be worried." He almost smiled and walked by the trainees, resting a hand on Elle's shoulder he whispered to her. "Just wait till you have your own, then everything is amplified." Elle smirked.
"Hey babe." Emily had just crashed on her bed when her cell phone went off.
"Emily, the case is making headlining news all over, are you sure your ok?" JJ asked extremely concerned about her girlfriend's well being.
"I'm good JJ." Emily curled up on her bed throwing the blanket over her, she was more or less making a burrito out of herself, as she also laid on the same blanket.
"How's Elle?"
"I don't know, she's snoring too loud to tell." Emily chuckled as Elle threw a pillow at her.
"I'm getting ready to go get food for your girl Jennifer." Elle yelled.
"Tell her I say thanks."
"She says not to get me too fat." Emily smirked but Elle knew better than that.
"Your welcome JJ."
"Emily, don't get hurt ok?"
"I love you too baby." Emily smiled, she heard the door click shut, her eyes becoming heavy with sleep.
"Emma says hey, and Sam, and mom, and…. All of them." Emily smiled and nodded back like JJ could see it. "I'm gonna let you sleep k?"
"Hmmm" Emily grunted.
"I love you Emily."
"Me too." Emily said before falling asleep against her phone. JJ could be heard chuckling on the other line. When Elle came back that's how she found Emily, wrapped up in her own blanket burrito with a phone plastered to her face, saying 'I love you JJ' over and over.
"Emily, get up you need to eat." Elle said sitting on the bed trying to get the sleeping burnet up.
"I up." Emily grunted making Elle laugh.
"It's I'm, you should know that." Elle grinned and just tucked Emily back in, sleep would be more important right now for her friend.
"Prentiss are you alright?" Gideon looked the woman over.
"Hard night sir." Emily yawned.
"What she means is, when your 16 year old sister calls at two am crying and you take the call and then said call lasts till 6 am, sleep tends to get missed, by everyone in the room." Elle snarled.
"Is your sister alright?" Gideon looked concerned.
"Yeah, she just, my brother's girlfriend ripped her a good one and she didn't know how else to handle it. She just needed me."
"Tell your sister that family is thicker than water and he'll realize she isn't right for him."
"Thank you sir I will."
"Alright, we have an address we're ready to raid." Hotch came up and handed everyone an address.
"Five, four…one." The swat guy broke the door and let the FBI members in before him.
"Mommy! Mommy!" A child started screaming as soon as they breeched the door. Emily went over to the little boy.
"SHHH, we're the good guys, I'm Emily."
"Jake." The little boy said putting his thumb in his mouth.
"Where are your parents Jake?"
"Downstairs…"
"Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"Not with my family, but this one, yes lots of them." Jake smiled, that's when the shot rang out, and Emily watched as the little boy's body was thrown across the room by the force. She turned and saw the unsub clutching another child to his body.
"Move and I'll kill her." He yelled, Elle took the shot she had lined up and put a bullet in his head right above his ear. Emily scrambled over to the boy, throwing items out of the way to get to him.
"Child down!" Hotch screamed as he helped Emily put pressure on the boys multiple wounds. When a paramedic came in she pushed Emily out of the way, promising to take care of the boy.
"His names Jake."
"Get out of the way!" another paramedic yelled, and Emily left.
"Emily…are you sure your…ok?" Elle sat on the lip of the tub as Emily threw up in the toilet. They had returned from their first case about 9 hours ago, all had passed.
"I'm fine!" Emily yelled.
"No, your not…" Elle was the one that had to tell Emily that Jake was killed and the little girl was hurt too, as soon as the words came out of her mouth Emily was in the bathroom, that was three hours ago.
"He's dead! I could've saved him!" Emily screamed in Elle's face, Elle was stunned.
"Emily," She sat down next to her and pulled Emily to her. "You couldn't have saved him." That's when Emily broke down, sobs racking her body, she clutched onto Elle screaming into her chest.
"Hey! Shut the fuck up!" Someone banged on the connecting room.
"Fuck off!" Elle yelled back, then she looked toward the bathroom door and saw JJ standing there. "Thank god." Elle waited till JJ was on the ground next to Emily before she even thought about getting up. She helped JJ pull Emily to her and grabbed a wet rag, and then a blanket from the other room.
"Here, take care of her huh?"
"Thanks Elle, I owe you for this."
"Don't worry about it." Elle smiled. "You and her would do the same." Elle watched for a minute before leaving the dorm, Emily would get sick; Elle… was going to get drunk.
"Emily, baby look up at me." JJ cooed softly, Emily looked up at JJ and started bawling all over again.
"That…that ass hole killed that kid! He was barely 3!" Emily screamed and cried into JJ's shoulder.
"I know baby, I know." JJ held her, she wiped her face off with the damp cloth, then covered her with the blanket.
"Jake's dead."
"Honey, its not your fault." JJ kissed the top of Emily's head. "Come on, let's get you to bed." JJ said helping Emily to her feet. They walked slowly to Emily's bed, JJ helped Emily out of her clothes. She laid Emily down and curled up next to her pulling the blankets over them. She wrapped her arms around Emily and held her.
"So is it in this moment when I should ask, where were you while we were getting high?" JJ asked and felt Emily chuckle, JJ grinned.
"I love you Jennifer." Emily said.
"I know, I'd be very worried if you didn't. Now go to sleep, we can do something stupid, like me throwing glass jars at you, tomorrow."
"Ew, no." JJ laughed and held Emily close.
"I love you so much Emily you don't even know." After a minute of not getting a response JJ looked over Emily's shoulder to see she was asleep, snoring oh so lightly.
