Darkness CH 8

JJ woke up with a splitting headache, she rolled over and looked at her clock.. it read 10am, damn it she was late. Looking at her phone she thought it was a little weird that Emily hadn't called asking where she was yet. She rolled over and that's when the pain hit, this was going to be a harder day then she thought, it would take her a good half an hour to even get up and get dressed. She called the hospital and left a message with a nurse to tell Emily that she would be there soon.

*1 hour later*

JJ was walking down the hall to Emily's room, when she walked in the older woman wasn't there, she checked the restroom and then when she had looked everywhere she went to find a nurse.

"Excuse me, have can you tell me where Emily Prentiss is?"

"um, just let me check the computer…. It seems like Ms. Prentiss was released about 35 minutes ago."

"hmm, that's weird she was supposed to wait for me to pick her up.."

"let me check.. it looks like she left a note for you though."

Those words kind of hit her like a pound of bricks the last time that Emily had left her a note was on her wedding day. Her hand was kind of shaky as the nurse handed her the note.

My dearest Jen,

Don't worry I haven't went far. There was something that I had to do.. please wait for me I will be back in about an hour or so. I PROMISE.

Love Em

JJ felt her smile a little, she was glad that Emily had promised to come back, but now she was a little nervous about where Emily had went.

*same time with Emily*

As Emily walked down the hall, she was trying to control her anger she wanted more than anything to rip him apart, but she knew that JJ was right it wouldn't solve anything.

As she looked at the man, she couldn't help but be thankful that there was an iron barred gate between them.

"what are you doing here?.. haven't you caused enough damage?"

As she looked at Will she couldn't help but smile, Derek had done a good job on his face. Will was sporting a broken nose and both eyes were black and blue..

"I can here for one reason and one reason only, but then JJ's words rang in my head..

"don't talk about her with me!"

"wow Will you really should be nicer, after all it seems like you have yourself in quite a hole right now.. but I don't intend for this conversation to be a long one.. I just have one thing to say and then I will go"

By now he was getting angry and did just what she hoped he would do, he moved close enough to the bars that she could reach through and grab him.

"here's what I have to say, when you get out of here, you will go away. You will not bother us, or come around Henry, because if you do I swear to god Will, I will find you and I will kill you. The damage that agent Morgan did will look like a slap on the wrist if you ever even look at JJ the wrong way again.. Believe me when I say that I have worked CIA and FBI long enough to make sure that you disappear! Do you understand me?"

She didn't wait for a response, as she shoved him back so that he fell on the floor, the guard just looking at them to make sure that there was no serious damage done. With that Emily casually walked out of the police station, it didn't completely take her anger away but seeing the damage that Derek had done did make her feel better. Now she only had one more errand to run before returning to meet JJ at the hospital, She had stopped at the store and then decided to save time that she would just make phone calls to the other two places she didn't want to keep JJ waiting.

As Emily walked back into the hospital she couldn't help but let the smile take over her face.

"Where the hell have you been? I have been worried sick?"

"JJ, calm down.. I'm fine and you got my note right?"

"yes, I got your note but that doesn't change the fact that I had no idea where you were"

"well I promised that I would come back, and I did.. Now please I am fine, you are ok, can we please get out of this damn hospital?"

"yea, let's go"

"hmm, didn't think about this before, but your place or mine?"

"Well considering that mine is still a crime scene I'm guessing yours… is that ok?"

"of course it is."

As the women left, Emily was thinking.. of course she knew that JJ's house was still being cleaned and stuff, but she had to make sure that JJ was comfortable to go back to her house..

As Emily and JJ made it to the door, Emily wondered if everything was ready.

"JJ can you do me a favor and close your eyes, it's just that I haven't been home since before the hospital and I kind of want to make sure that it's not a disaster before you finally see it"

"Em, I'm sure that it looks fine"

"please J, you know how OCD I am"

"ugh, fine Em, 5 minutes.. after that you will have to deal with it ok?"

"ok, I knew you couldn't say no to me"

JJ closed her eyes and Emily opened the door, everything was perfect the dining room was lit up by candle light, the table was set, wine was chilling (and cider incase either one of them decided to take their pain meds)..

"JJ, you can open your eyes" Emily told her as she stood to turn the music on
