**10 Days Earlier**

JJ strolled into the bullpen she studied everyone for a moment before turning to collect her normal pot of coffee. Emily raised her eyebrow as she watched the blonde shaking her head just as Morgan grinned.

"Thank god she is allowed coffee"

Emily chuckled "Just be grateful you didn't have to live with her for nine months without coffee" Emily smirked.

"How long before she is cleared for field duty?" Reid asked as the three of them watched her.

"I think another month, but her staying at home was driving her crazy," Emily rolled her eyes slightly.

"How is the rest of the family?" Jessop asked, Morgan swallowed as Emily spoke

"They are all doing great thanks, how did your training go?" Emily asked as she looked at Morgan.

"She is getting there, you're a fast learner" Jessop nodded "Did you find it hard?" Emily asked softly causing the three of them to chuckle

"What's so funny?" JJ laughed "Those two wrote the new training course" she studied the newer Agent for a moment before hearing the low warning growl off her wife "Prentiss" she gave a soft warning

Morgan laughed "Emily and I changed the training course a lot, mainly because of things that we have seen or things that have happened, but mainly we use the ones that went wrong" he commented.

"Those would be the ones which got Emily badly beaten, or hit in the head with the handy 2x4 or shot" Reid said earning the now glaring eyes of three agents.

"Thank you Doctor Reid" Emily said as she rolled her eyes.

Jessop's eyes went wide as she looked at her mentor "You got shot" she gasped.

JJ groaned "All three of them have not just Emily"

Emily sighed "I've missed this" she mocked slightly causing JJ to clip her around the back of the head "That's how I always end up with the head injury" as she smiled sweetly at her wife.

The quick paced heals clicking on the floor could be heard moments before the doors opened as Garcia lifted a file up they had only just noticed that Hotch's and Rossi's doors were opened "You get it all Garcia?" she nodded "Everyone conference room" he said as everyone followed them up the catwalk.

Agent Jessop had been with the team for 12 months now, Emily had taken her under her wing with the help of Morgan, they both trained her, she was 24 and fresh out of the academy which made it even better for them, she was someone they could mould to fit in with the team and someone they had hand-picked, since JJ had a very rough pregnancy, well it had been rough from her second month and by the fourth month she had been ordered bed rest by the doctor. In addition, this is why they needed another Agent to go into the field with them. JJ was not happy with it but that was only because she was having to allow someone else to have her wife's back and look after her family. But after a couple of months she had gained their trust and respect and this was why they were putting her through more advanced training messing up wasn't an option anymore.

And it wasn't just the amount of normal serial killers that seemed to clutter up their desks most days, this was because for the past two months they had been trailing a serial bomber, the bomber did stay in one city and state, the sites moved every week, though the method of the bombs would change as though the bomber was trying to perfect their own style. The places they were hitting were crippling them so much that Emily and JJ had pulled their other two children out of school and even Declan were now being home schooled. So far, they had a number of children dead and too many injured to count. They had only been called in when they had come across the same marking on a few of the pipe bombs.

The first bomb, was a car bomb outside a local schools none dead but 25 injured, they never found who it was though it was still an open case it had become cold up until a month ago. The second had been a petrol bomb or Molotov Cocktail, which had been thrown into a canteen full of students killing two children, and maiming 10 others, the locals had arrested a young boy who was known for blowing things up, though the child swore he had nothing to do with it.

They finally believed him on the third bomb since it came with a message sprayed on the front of another school 'You have the wrong boy' it was a taunt and they knew it. The fourth was a smoke bomb thrown it a schoolyard. No damage done. The last though had all been the same, the past four weeks they had come across pipe bombs, some had nails in them that caused maximum damage.

They watched as Garcia brought the pictures up on to the screen. "This was earlier this morning at Woodlands elementary school. The picture showed windows blown out the whole canteen burnt and tossed around like bentwood; Emily thought the urge to be sick as JJ gripped her hand. They knew that with Emily's past she knew a lot more about bombs than any of them really knew, although this was Morgan's area and she would allow him that grace.

"They have managed to gauge where the explosion came from and this time they found it had been hidden in a school bag, 15 children have died and another 25 are in hospital for treatment for their injuries, Morgan they want you to go and look at the pieces they have found as they want to be sure this is the same person"

JJ bit her lip as she looked at the file "Is there any good news?"

Garcia sighed shaking her head "Not really, I will be going through the footage once I have brought you all up to speed" Garcia smiled.

This had been the only school that had a fully working security system in place, and it had caught the whole thing so hopefully they would be able to catch him, if they were the same bomber and Garcia was already praying it was. Morgan and Jessop were to go to the local station and have a look at the bomb fragments while JJ, Emily and Reid started to work up a profile again using the new method while Rossi and Hotch attended another meeting regarding this. The sooner he was caught the better for everyone and Emily's patience's was already running low.

At first they thought they was looking for a teenager but now as the bombs evolved they were now aiming towards someone in their early 20's Emily frowned as she looked at all the schools that had been targeted. Instead of using her phone Emily stormed out of the conference room and straight towards Garcia's office.

"I like knocking" she commented as Emily swung the door open.

"I need you to pull up any accidents that happened four months ago, that resulted in the death of a child" Emily said firmly.

"Okay you will have to give me a few I will ring you when I have found something" Emily nodded through a sigh as she closed the door again.

Emily was frustrated more than anything, JJ was not meant to be back in work for another month even though she was not cleared for field duty Emily still did not like it. She was just grateful that JJ was on desk duty, their home life though was truly complete three children a wonderful full time nanny, a nice big house they had everything. As this was why Emily was grateful, that the woman of her children was being made to sit at a desk or in the building and not out doing fieldwork and more so since, they had a bomber on the loose in DC.
