Wow I suck at updating don't I? So sorry life just wants to get in the way of everything it seems.
"Everyone's nerves are now on edge more than before. The senator's daughter, Emily, passed out moments after her father went in to confront a man who had shot one of their security guards and is still holding two hostages. One of them is reported to be the Senator herself," A news reporter said, looking at the camera then back at the mansion.
The police now had ears in the mansion, but that wouldn't do them good if the gunman decided to shoot Victor Prentiss as soon as he walked in. They had a team ready to go in on call in case someone got shot. The lead detective, Will LaMontagne Jr. was trying to contain the press but nothing would work.
Will watched as the blonde who had rushed to Emily's side when she collapsed came up to him, looking worse for wear. "Jennifer Jareau. I can help you with the press, I'm the senator's press liaison." She smiled slightly and shook his hand. She had noticed the detective shoot the press evil looks but was too busy to deal with them.
"William LaMontagne Jr., and if you would control them, I would be very thankful." JJ smiled at his accent, any other moment she would think it was extremely sexy and ask for his number. Will watched her walk away for a second before going up to Dave, who was standing over Emily on a stretcher. She was still unconscious. The paramedics were working on getting her to the hospital, checking her vitals and keep her breathing by a face mask.
Dave noticed him and forced himself to walk away from Emily. "Will, anything?" Will applauded the man he seemed to care for Emily as much as a father would, maybe more than her father did.
"No, Victor just went in. There are some FBI agents looking over the gunman's behavior. Not a lot to do but wait." Will saw Dave look over at Emily as they were lifting her into the ambulance, "Go with her we can hold everything down here."
"Call me if anything happens and thank you." Dave ran off to the ambulances, getting in before it sped away.
Will turned back to the main group and to the FBI agents who had just arrived minutes before. There were two agents, an older man who looked like he had seen his fair share of situations like this and a woman with short brown hair who looked pretty young. Unlike most FBI agents he had worked with, these agents didn't make him feel looked down upon.
"Detective," Agent Gideon said, nodding his head at him as he got closer. "Victor just got in there."
"Teams are ready to go in at our call." Agent Greenaway said, typing on a laptop quickly. "We are also running a background on Victor to figure out who his enemies are."
"He would have to do something real bad to make someone this mad." Will said, nodding towards the house. "He was ready to kill to get Victor in there."
"Well, Victor seemed to be just as ruthless in starting his business. He has logged more work hours than even you, sir," Elle said to Gideon. "But his businesses are taking off."
"What are his businesses?" Gideon asked, looking over her shoulder to the screen, not understanding computers enough to look it up himself.
"He started a law firm a few years ago with three other men, but now it seems that they are no longer a part. He was young when he joined the firm, now he practically owns it. One of the hostages, Aaron Hotchner, works for the Senator and works for the firm. Victor also seems to have one investment company of some sorts that he started years ago. He made enough last year to almost pay his daughters 4 year university completely off."
"So do you think it's someone who they won against in court?" Will asked.
"Probably not, it would take more than a win in court to take a senator hostage." Gideon looked away lost in thought. "What happened to his old partner in the firm?"
Elle typed, searching as quick as she could, she wasn't a specialist in computers, "It seems that they were let go or retired. None of them live near the area anymore."
"Call the techs back at Quantico. Tell them to look into anyone Victor has ever done wrong to." Gideon said before walking away.
JJ walked up to the group right before Gideon walked away. "Uh… I know a tech who can work faster than any of yours," she said to Elle, smiling slightly, trying not to sound snobbish.
"No offense, but the FBI has only the best," Elle shot back before walking away to call the techs.
"Okay…" JJ let out a short laugh before pulling out her phone to call Pen. "She really needs to chill."
Will laughed at the blonde, smiling brightly at her ability to joke at a time like this, "What are you doing?"
"Calling the best tech," JJ knew that no matter what the cranky agent said that Pen was the best. As soon as the ringing stopped, JJ spoke again. "Hey, Pen, how's he doing?"
"I don't know, he's still in surgery. They won't tell me anything! His mom will be here soon and his younger sister got here a half hour ago… She's still in high school, JJ, she can't lose her big brother!" The normally happy blond sounded discouraged.
"He is going to be okay. I have something to tell you, then something to ask you but you can't freak out, okay?" Pen agreed. "Emily fainted and they took her to the hospital."
"She what? Why? Is she alright?" Pen stood back from her spot and started to pace the room. "Oh my god, I can't do this!"
"Penelope, listen I know you're upset. I am too, but I need you to do pull yourself together now and do some sleuthing for me. I need you to do what you do best and look into Em's dad's history in his business, any enemies he made, his old partners, anything." Will was still standing next to JJ, listening to her conversation hoping he could help.
"I don't have a computer!" Pen whined and plopped back in her seat.
Will jumped in, "I can have a uniform drop one off for her within ten." He waved a cop over, telling him to drop whatever he was doing and get a laptop to the hospitable ASAP.
JJ smiled at him, and began talking to Penelope again. "I will get you one, just breathe for a bit. Get a coffee and some chocolate. Dave should be there somewhere with Em."
"O-okay, I really do need a coffee. Don't you get hurt now too or I will kill you." JJ laughed and hung up smiling.
"Thank you, Will," JJ ran her hand through her hair, breathing out heavily. "You know, when I took this job I thought the worst. I thought I would have to deal with Emily's party hard reputation. I never thought this would happen." JJ still had a year left in college. Landing a job for a senator was a dream come true, now it seemed like a nightmare.
Will put a reassuring hand on her arm, rubbing it slightly. "We will get them all out. Everything will be okay, promise."
JJ wanted to believe him, but the gut feeling she was having were screaming the opposite. "Detective?" Another cop came up to the pair. "We have Aaron Hotchner's wife here. She wanted to speak with you or Mr. Rossi, since he is not here…" The young cop looked frazzled. He probably wasn't expecting this when he came into work either.
"Bring her over her, Jake," Will took his hand off her arm, turning his attention back to her. "Do you know Mrs. Hotchner well?"
"Yeah I met them once or twice when she would stop by to say hi. They've been together since high school." JJ saw the familiar blonde coming their way. "I think they were trying for a baby." Will shot her a sad look upon hearing that. JJ grimaced back before turning towards Hailey.
"Jennifer? Is everything okay? No one would tell me anything." JJ always admired the older woman for her ability to look put together in any situation, right now not being one of them.
"A gunman is holding Aaron, Victor, and Elizabeth hostage. We don't know much." JJ looked over to Will, silently asking him if she should tell her about Derek.
"Ma'am, your husband is in there. We are doing what we can to get him out as quick as possible." A cop waved Will over frantically. "I'm sorry, I will be back."
JJ watched as he ran towards where the FBI agents were. "Where is Dave? Is he in there too?" Hailey was scanning the crowd. "Is Derek in there too?"
"No," JJ grabbed Hailey's hand, leading her away from the chaos. "Derek was shot by the gunman, he is in surgery." Hailey gasped, putting a hand over her mouth. She had just seen Derek the other day at Aaron's office when she went to drop off lunch to her husband. They had a quick conversation while she waited for a meeting to be over. "Dave in is at the hospital with Emily. She fainted, they think it was the stress." JJ let a small tear slid down her cheek.
Hailey stayed quiet for a bit, looking at the mansion, "Who would do this?" She turned back to JJ, who couldn't do anything but shrug her shoulders.
"I don't know, but everything will be okay." She knew that wasn't true but maybe if she kept repeating it to herself then it might come true. She needed it to come true.
I don't know when I will be able to post another chapter it is written though!
READ AND REVIEW! Pretty please :)
