Chapter 56:

JJ hummed happily as she pulled into the parking lot at Quantico. After showering and breakfast she had used her new key to lock herself out of Emily's apartment, taking a cab back to her own place. Time had went by slowly, but she was finally here. Walking into the elevator, she almost bounced up and down as it moved up to the BAU floor.

Finally she arrived the BAU's floor and JJ hurried out of the elevator. With her confident swagger she walked towards the doors that lead her into her workplace. Hand reaching out to touch the door she suddenly froze when someone started to talk to her.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't ms. can't handle the job"

Spinning around she were standing face to face with non other than agent Anderson.


Putting her pen down, Emily sighs and stretches her back.

"You okay there princess?" Morgan lifted his head to catch Emily stretch and look slightly annoyed.

"Just feel like I'm drowning in paperwork." Emily shook her head, before checking the time. As she put down her wrist, she can't help but smile.

"I take it JJ's coming by soon?" Morgan smiles smugly, but before Emily even has the chance to replay they're interrupted by a very angry, yet familiar voice.

"That's enough Anderson! Everyone knows that MY team is more successful than yours will ever be because of me! I've been nothing but polite to you, and you keep treating me like I don't belong here, well newsflash, I DO!"

"Isn't that..?" Before Morgan can finish his question Emily is on her feet. His voice brought her back, and now she's on her way to see what, or rather who, has her lover so worked up. JJ rarely swears so Emily knows it's bad. JJ's voice rings through the bullpen as the brunette makes her way over to the entrance.

When she reaches the doors and sees Anderson on the other side, she understands why the blonde is so upset. She is on her way to go out there, but stops herself. JJ needs to fight her own battles, so she settles for the next best thing, watching the blonde carefully and get ready to cut in if needed. But by the looks of it, the blonde doesn't need anyone, she is chewing Anderson and spitting him out. JJ's voice rings through the bullpen as Morgan and Reid moves to stand next to her, both wanting to go out there, but Emily shakes her head.

"I am the best damn liaison in the FBI and everyone knows it! Every high priority comes to ME! Every difficult console comes to ME!"

JJ is giving Anderson a death glare and she keeps yelling, her voice even higher now.

"EVERY GODDAMN THING THAT PASES THROUGH THE FBI COMES AND GOES TROUGH ME! YOUR TEAM RARLY LEAVES ON CASES BECAUSE YOU DON'T DO YOUR JOB. MY TEAM WORKS TWICE AS HARD AS YOURS BECAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT MY TEAM IS THE BEST AND THE ONCE ABLE TO HANDLE THE HEAT AND THEREFOR HANDLES THE CASES TO ME! EVERY TIME YOU MAKE A FOOL OF YOURSELF IN FRONT OF THE PRESS I HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND FIX IT. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME OR WHAT I DO, SO DON'T TELL ME I CAN'T HANDLE MY JOB!"

By now the whole BAU team had gathered, and Emily refused anyone to interfere with the two of them, so the two women and four men simply watched their sweet, delicate liaison yell and act very unlike herself. Anderson stood frozen to the spot while JJ yelled, but Emily could see him getting angrier and angrier by the second. And being on the best profiling team in the country, the four other profilers saw it as well.

"He's gonna snap." Morgan said. He was angry at Anderson, but very proud of JJ to stand up for herself. He also knew that if Anderson would do anything, both he and Emily would be out there in a second.


"You pathetic little bitch!" Anderson lifted his hand and the blonde just waited for it to make contact with her face, but instead she saw the man forcefully be tackled to the ground by Emily.

"Don't you dare talk to her like that!" Emily growled in his ear. Anderson was momentary shocked by the attack from the other woman, but quickly shook it off and moved out of Emily's grasp.

"You need your girlfriend to rescue you, huh?" He was on his feet again and moved closer to the blonde. Emily stepped in between the two of them, her eyes were furious.

"You can't stand it, can you?" The brunette's voice were ice cold. "You can't stand the fact that JJ is the best liaison, you can't stand the fact that a woman is better than you. You can't..."

Before Emily could finish the sentence a fist made contact with her face and she fell to the ground.

Then three things happened.

One: JJ lunged for Anderson.

Two: Morgan busted through the door and grabbed JJ

Three: Reid and Hotch grabbed Anderson.

"Let. Me. Go. Morgan!" JJ growled, her teeth firmly pressed together.

"No. You did so good, and I'm so very proud of you JJ. Don't sink down to his level!" Even though Morgan wanted nothing more than to rip the man into pieces, he wouldn't want the blonde to get in trouble. The blonde struggled against the strong man, she wasn't going to let this go easily. Not only had he insulted her, but he had actually punched her girlfriend.

"JJ!" Morgan's voice tried to make JJ snap out of her rage, "JJ, don't do this. I know you want to kill him, trust me, I do too, but right now Emily needs you!" As soon as those words left Morgan's mouth, JJ stopped all of her motions.

She turned her head and saw the brunette lay unconscious on the floor.

"Emily!" Morgan let go of the blonde, and she fell to her knees next to the brunette. "No, no, no, no! Emily, baby, please open your eyes! I love you! Emily!" the young liaison cried out for her love as her friends dragged the agent responsible away and called an ambulance.
