JJ maneuvered her way through the streets of Washington, carefully blending in with others. She need to use her stealth skills in this assignment if she was going to make it out alive. Slovak and his men were the type of people to shoot first and ask questions later. She reached the hotel and made her way to the elevator pushing the button to the 10th floor. She checked she had all her equipment at the ready. She pulled out her tranquiliser gun and made sure it was loaded. She knew Slovak had men doted around the floor so she had to stay alert.

The elevator reached the 10th floor and JJ stuck her foot out to keep the doors open. She popped her head out slightly checking how many targets were insight. Her moved arm out so she could get a good aim of the two men and then fired a tranquiliser dart each into their necks. Quickly, she ran out of the elevator and caught them both before they reached the ground as to not alert the other guards.

Making her way around the corner of the hallway she spotted one guard pacing the hall. As he walked away from her she crouched down slightly and stealthily made her way along the wall. She positioned herself behind him and wrapped her arm around his neck pressing his shoulder and put a hand over his mouth, rendering him unconscious as he slid to the floor.

JJ turned her head around another corner and saw two men guarding Slovak's room. She shot her tranq gun at one of the men and as the other approached her, he managed to knock her tranq gun out of her hand and get a blow to her face. Before he knew what hit him JJ returned the punch and sent a swift roundhouse kick to the side of his head knocking him out. 'Not so smart now' she thought to herself.

Hearing the noise outside, two men quickly made their way out of the hotel room guns drawn. JJ's tranq gun was still on the floor and she didn't have time to fetch it so thinking on her feet she bent down and speedily brought out two knives from her ankle holsters and threw them so they spun in the air and caught both the men in the chest sending them flying to the floor.

Knowing she would need to get into Slovak's room quickly in case he was destroying the intel, she picked up her tranq gun and ran into the room. The room was only occupied by Slovak. He was there typing speedily on a laptop hoping to erase its contents no doubt, he was concentrating so much he didn't even hear JJ enter, she quickly fired two tranq darts into the back of his neck and he slumped to the floor.

JJ checked the laptop making sure nothing had been destroyed and luckily it hadn't. She made her way out of the room and downstairs, dialing a familiar number on her phone.

"How did it go?" the man asked immediately.

"5 men unconscious, 2 men dead, Slovak unconscious and laptop obtained intact. Assignment was a success, sir." JJ replied smoothly.

"Good work Jareau, make your way to Lafayette Park, north bench. I will have one of my men collect the laptop. Codeword is rainstorm." he said.

"Yes sir. From the looks of it the laptop contains the location of the plane full of weapons as well as the names of Slovaks men and contacts sir." JJ informed the man.

"Good work Jareau." he repeated, praising her efforts and he disconnected the call.

JJ made her way out of the hotel, she walked casually along the streets double checking every now and then she wasn't being tailed. JJ sat down on the bench in Lafayette Park and waited until the man made contact. She kept her hand on her tranq gun just in case. She tightened her grip on it when she saw a man approach her from the West. He sat down beside her holding a cup of coffee and carrying a newspaper. He opened the newspaper up.

"Rainstorm" he muttered.

"Rainstorm" she repeated cooly.

She gracefully stood up sliding the laptop along the bench towards him and gave him a quick nod before strolling away.

It was 6pm when JJ made it back to the hotel, she spotted the team in the restaurant and cursed under her breath when she realised she would have to come up with some sort of explanation. She managed to dodge them and make her way to the bar which was out of the teams line of sight.

"What can I get you?" the bartender asked clearly checking her out. JJ just rolled her eyes slightly.

"Scotch neat." she replied.

He just raised his eyebrows at her in question at the drink. "Sure thing" he said and winked before pouring her drink.

"Rough day?" he asked curious.

"Something like that." JJ replied. It was at times like this that JJ wished she could just spill her guts about everything to someone who was totally impartial and neutral but she couldn't do that. JJ took a gulp of her drink and closed her eyes as the liquid burned its way down her throat

Realising she wanted to be left alone the bartender made his way to the other end of the bar.

JJ thought about the two men she killed today. She knew they were extremely dangerous and clearly they tried to kill her but it still didn't make it easier. That's why she tended to prefer using tranq guns over guns with bullets. She had always been like that even since back in her CIA days. She was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't hear the team come up behind her.

"Where the hell have you been all afternoon?" Hotch asked angrily but he was also concerned.

JJ jumped in surprise and then swiveled around on the bar stool, scotch in hand."Out?" she supplied weakly.

Hotch just glared at her. "Look, I had something urgent that needed taken care of." JJ said, offering some sort of explanation.

"Pumpkin, you're going to have to come up with something better than that." Garcia said gently, she didn't want to be too mad at JJ.

"I can't say exactly, but it was urgent and important and if it could have waited I would have left it but it couldn't." JJ said simply hoping they would leave it at that.

Sensing the blond was desperate for it to be left alone, Rossie changed the subject. "Scotch neat?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.

JJ just shrugged in response. "It's my drink." she said smirking a little.

"You certainly are a mystery, Jennifer Jareau." Rossi laughed. JJ just grinned playfully in response.

The rest of the team were still looking at her for an explanation. JJ sighed loudly. The team just watched in awe as JJ downed the rest of her scotch easily and effortlessly and hopped off the stool.

"I'm sorry guys, I wish I could say but I can't, remember what I was telling you about earlier?" Seeing the team nod she continued. "Well it has something to do with that but that's all I can say." She said desperately.

"Ok, ok we get it JJ, you can't tell us." Reid said, still looking hurt.

"Sorry" she said as she smiled apologetically a them. "I'll see you guys in the morning, 6am right?" she asked and Hotch nodded. "Ok, well goodnight guys." she said as she walked away leaving the team curious and worried.
