Secrets

     JJ heads into the break room to have lunch. She pulls out some leftovers from the weekend and starts to heat them up. As she is waiting for them in the microwave she stares across the office at Emily. 

    “She’s been biting her nails again.” Spencer says, making JJ jump. 

    “Geez Spenc you scared me.” JJ says shaking her head. 

     “What I’m just saying. She started it on Monday.” Spencer says. 

     “Yeah I think this case just brings up some old stuff for her.” JJ says grabbing her food to go sit down. 

     “You’re probably right.” Spencer adds before heading back to his desk.      

    After a couple minutes Emily joins JJ in the break room. 

    “Finally going to take a break?” JJ asks looking at Emily. 

     “Yeah I can’t seem to find anything new.”

     “Me neither.” JJ agrees. 

     “So I was thinking, are you free tonight?” Emily asks hopefully. JJ smiles as soon as she hears her. 

     “Yes I am, why?” JJ said unable to break her smile. 

     “I thought maybe you’d want to get dinner with me?” Emily says smiling. 

     “By dinner do you mean take out?” JJ laughs knowing that restaurants still aren’t letting people dine in. 

    “Yes, take out and wine at my place. Thought we could just head there after work.” Emily says eyeing the younger agent. 

     “Sounds perfect to me.” JJ says leaning over to kiss Emily on the check. It’s an action she has done many times in the past but now it feels different. Lighting a spark in each of them. “I can’t wait.” JJ says before going back to her desk. God she’s going to kill me. Emily thinks as she quickly finishes her lunch. 

   After lunch the team reconvenes in the conference room to go over any new findings. 

   “Anything new on victim one?” Hotch asks, looking at Morgan and Reid. 

   “Not anything yet.” Morgan replies. 

   “What about victim 17?” Hotch looks over at JJ, Prentiss and Rossi. 

    “Nothing new, sir” JJ says, sounding a bit disappointed. 

    “Garcia did you find anything yet?” Hotch says. 

    “Well I found both of these victims had AIM accounts.” Garcia starts. 

    “AIM?” JJ asks, confused. 

     “Yeah an instant messaging account with AOL, they were big back in the day but have since fallen into the abyss. I’m trying to see if either of them messaged the same person before their deaths or had some people in common that will point me in the right direct. It’s challenging since it is not still in use today but I’m working on it.” Garcia informs the team. 

    “Sounds good, keep working at it. We are bound to find a mistake somewhere.” Hotch says leaving the room. 

    “AIM account I haven’t heard of that in ages.” Emily says looking at Garcia. “Do you think you’ll be able to get information for it?” Emily asks probing her. 

    “I honestly don’t know,” Garcia says, shaking her head. 

    “Well if anyone could it would be you babygirl.” Morgan says heading back to his desk. 

    “If you find anything let me know.” Emily says following him out. She better not. 

    JJ follows Garcia to her office and closes the door behind them. 

    “I have a date tonight.” JJ blurts out. 

    “A date!? With who?!” Garcia asks, surprised. 

    “Emily” JJ mumbles out. 

    “What was that?” Garcia pretends like she couldn’t hear. 

    “You know what I said.” JJ says looking back at her. 

    “Agent Prentiss was it?!” Garcia says playing dumb. 

    “Yes, okay. I’m really nervous.” JJ says. 

    “Why? Did something happen last night!” Garcia says realizing the pair must have hit it off. 

    “Yeah, we kissed and kinda made out.” JJ says looking around the room. 

    “And you’re just now telling me?” Garcia exclaims in shock. 

     “I know, but what do I do. A date makes it feel more real. Not that I don’t want it to be real but we aren’t supposed to date and I don’t want to jeopardize the team in any way..” JJ says, starting to talk herself into a circle. 

    “Hey cool it. A date is good, you won’t jeopardize the team at all and I doubt Hotch would even care. We all know he is a bit afraid of Prentiss.” Garcia adds with a smile. “So tell me about this kiss.” 

     “It was..” JJ pauses looking down at her feet. “Really really good.” She says starting to blush as she remembers it. 

    “Did she sweep you off your feet?” Garcia adds giggling. 

    “More like pushes me off them.” JJ adds smirking. 

    “Prentiss is a top, wow im dumbfounded.” Garcia says sarcastically. 

    “What do you mean?” JJ says looking at her. 

    “Oh come on. Prentiss is totally the type to tie you to the bed and blindfold you.” Garcia says, shaking her head. “It’s obvious.” 

    “Oh you’ve thought about it?” JJ asks jokingly. 

    “And like you haven’t.” Garcia claps back, making JJs blush grow. 

    “I don’t know what you are talking about.” JJ mumbles retreating from her office. 

    “I want details about this date. Also let me know if she ties you up.” Garcia adds smiling as JJ quickly shuts the door behind her shaking her head. 

    The rest of the day goes by quickly with each of them just going through the files of evidence trying to find something new. All of which comes up empty handed. Finally the clock hits five and everyone starts to gather their things. 

    “You know, I could get used to being able to get off work on time.” Morgan says grabbing his keys. 

    “Yeah, I hear you.” Emily says joining the team as they head to the door. 

     “Does anyone want to go see a movie tonight? The original Star Trek is playing at a theater downtown.” Spencer asks, trying to catch up to the group. 

     “Sorry Spence I have plans tonight.” JJ says looking at him. 

     “I’ll come.” Garcia adds. “Prentiss are you in?” 

     “Sorry I can’t, my mother is in town.” Emily lies looking at JJ. 

      “I’ll join since baby girl is coming. But Reid please do not recite the whole movie for us. We like it better when the actors say it.” Morgan says looking at him. 

      “I’ll try not too.” Spencer “see you guys tomorrow.” He says as the team heads to their cars. JJ and Emily wave back to him before climbing into JJs. 

      “So do you want to stop and get your car and I follow you to your place?” JJ asks, turning on her car. Emily looks around them quickly before leaning in and capturing JJs lips in her own. The kiss was not like the first one. It was quick and soft, more than a peak but not a make out. It felt like one out of habit as if they had been together for years, JJ imagines it being her good morning kiss or good night kiss. Simple but full of love and emotion. 

     Emily looks over and sees JJ thinking. “Sorry I shouldn’t have done that.” Emily says pulling JJ from her thoughts. 

    “No I liked it, a lot.” JJ says smiling. “So to your car.” JJ says, starting to drive. 

    As they make their way over to Emily’s car Emily can’t help but rest her hand on JJs thigh. She slowly inches her way up JJs thigh. Emily looks over and smiles when she sees JJ who is trying to slow down her breathing and concentrate on the road. 

    “You okay?” Emily smirks. 

    “Yeah your hand is just distracting me.” JJ says blushing a bit. 

    “Oh I can move it.” Emily says smiling. “Do you want me to move it down?” Emily says, rubbing her hand down JJs thigh. “Or I can move it up.” Emily says quickly moving her hand to the center of JJ which makes her swerve the car a bit. “Whoa easy there.” Emily says taking her hand away and letting JJ focus on the road. Once they make it to the car Emily hops out and has JJ follow her to her apartment. Emily pulls into her spot in the parking garage and has JJ pull in next to her. 

    “I always forget how fancy this place is.” JJ says walking into the entrance. 

    “Yeah it’s not too bad.” Emily smiles, hitting the button for the elevator. 

     “So what do you want for dinner? I was thinking Chinese food.” Emily gets into the elevator and hits the button for her floor. 

     “Yeah that sounds good to be'' JJ says watching the doors close. The second they do Emily grabs JJ and pins her against the wall of the elevator kissing her deeply. While holding JJs hips in place her hands wander and find the hem of JJs shirt. Emily slowly lets her fingers graze the soft skin of JJs hip bone, causing JJ to squirm at the touch. This leads Emily to grab JJs hip and push it back into the wall securing it in place. 

    “Fuck” JJ moans out feeling herself trapped by the older agent. Which she has to admit is turning her on. Emily smiles as she bites and pulls JJs earlobe before going to stand in front of the door. 

    “You’re just gonna stop?” JJ says flustered. 

     Emily looks at her and smiles “Well, we are at my floor.” She says as the doors open. JJ just shakes her head earning a laugh from Emily as she follows her to her door. 

    “So I’ll order Chinese and you can make yourself comfortable. There is wine and beer in the fridge. The hard stuff is above the fridge.” Emily says opening the door. 

    “Sounds good.” JJ says walking in. “Dang I forgot how nice your place is.” JJ says taking it in. “And that view.” 

    “Yeah, I never get old of it.” Emily says before heading into the kitchen and calling the restaurant. JJ wanders over to the living room and looks at the movie selection Emily has. 

    “Quite an impressive collection.” JJ says as she goes through them. 

     “Pick whatever you want, I'm not picky.” Emily says, grabbing them something to drink. JJ grabs a dvd and puts it in the player before sitting down on the couch. 

     “What did you pick?” Emily asks handing JJ a beer, before sipping her glass of wine and setting it down in front of her.

      “You’ll have to wait and see.” JJ says. 

      The pair sit and make small talk until the menu appears on the screen. “Spider-Man?” Emily says, sounding a bit surprised. JJ just nods and hits play. 

     “What can I say it’s one of my favorites.” She says taking a sip of her beer. 

      “I always pegged you as a Thor kind of fan not Spider-Man.” Emily says, still shocked. 

     “Well I’m full of surprises” JJ says leaning back and cuddling into Emily. 

     “Yes you sure are.” Emily says smiling. 

      After about 20 minutes the buzzer rings and Emily goes to grab to grab the food. The pair sit and eat in silence while watching the movie. Once JJ finishes her food she leans over and starts to kiss Emily’s neck. It only takes a second before Emily has set down her food and pinned JJ under her on the couch. The movement was gentle but sudden, Emily can see the look of surprise in JJs eyes. 

     “Sorry I can sit up.” Emily says starting to get off from on top of her. 

     “No,” JJ says, grabbing Emily’s back. “I like it.” She says while lifting her head to kiss her. The kiss is gentle and slow as if they are taking time to memorize each other’s lips. JJs hands find their way under Emily’s shirt as she lets her fingernails graze against her back. Earning a soft moan from the older agent. The pair stay like this for a moment until Emily’s hand

drops down under JJs shirt, slowly making its way up to her breasts. Emily stops before playing with the hem of JJs sports bra. Emily pulls back from the kiss looking at JJ for approval which is quickly granted through a quick nod from JJ before she pulls Emily back into the kiss. Emily’s hand gently brushed over JJs breast before gently grabbing it with her hand, letting her pointer finger flick her nipple which caused JJ to groan. “Fuck” she moans into emilys mouth which causes her to smile. 

    “You good?” Emily says hovering over JJ. 

    “Yeah I just need to catch my breath. I think I forgot to breathe.” JJ says looking up at her. 

    “Oh yeah sorry I just got carried away. We should slow down.” Emily adds, looking a bit embarrassed. 

    “We don't need to slow down.” JJ says seductively. “I like it fast.” JJ looks up at Emily biting her lower lip. “And hard.” 

     Emily quickly stands up and pulls JJ with her. “Where are we going?” JJ asks, confused. 

     “To my bed.” is all she says leading JJ into the darkness. 

    Emily and JJ walk into the bullpen of the BAU to find more case files on their desks. 

    “It’s switching day, remember. You have victims 1-12 now.” Morgan says adding to their piles. 

    “Oh yeah, I forgot,” JJ says looking at the piles of folders. She can’t help but notice Emily is looking down at a file in front of her frozen. Morgan also notices. 

     “Yeah victim one got the worst of it.” Morgan says setting more files on their desks. 

     “Yeah she really did.” Emily says softly. JJ can’t tell if it’s remorse or sadness in Emily’s voice but she can tell that victim one was personal to Emily. Her old girlfriend. JJ takes note of it before starting to go through her files. 

     After a couple hours of starting to go through the other cases Hotch calls everyone into the conference room. “Does anyone have anything yet?” He asks the group. 

     Everyone looks around the room shaking their heads before Spencer speaks. “I think we should look into their romantic relationships.” 

     “Why?” Prentiss says very sternly which JJ immediately picks up on. She brings her hand down to Emily’s under the table which is shaking. JJ grabs it trying to calm her down. 

     “Well we keep saying the first victim is one of passion and most of those come from romantic relationships.” Reid says shrugging. 

     “But you said it was a woman.” Morgan said. “Aren’t they less likely to commit crimes of passion?” 

     “Statically yes but still a possibility.” Spencer says. 

     “Garcia try to look into it, have you made any progress with the AIM accounts?” Hotch asks. 

     “No but the second I do I will let you know.” Garcia says. 

     “Alright, back to work.” Hotch says dismissing the team. 

     The team heads back to their desks. JJ watches as Emily opens the case for the first victim. She quickly closes it and sets it on JJs. 

    “Sorry I just can’t look at that one.” Emily says shaking her head. 

    “No need to be sorry. I’ve got it. Tell me if you need anything.” JJ says sitting at her desk starting to work. After an hour she decides she needs a break and heads to Garicas lair. 

    “Hey JJ, having fun in there?” Garcia asks before turning around. “Wait, have you come to tell me about your date. Oooo all the details please, spare none.” Garcia says eyeing JJ. “OMG you totally fucked.” Garcia adds. 

     “We most certainly did not!” JJ says wide eyed. 

     “Are you sure? You seem to be glowing and extra happy today.. Usually that means..” Garcia starts but is stopped by JJ. 

     “We might have done something,” JJ says smiling. 

     “Details my young one, all of the details please.” Garcia says leaning in. 

     “Well you are right about Emily.” JJ starts to say but looks at Garcias computer screen seeing a file called blackbird. What the hell.  

      “Garcia open that file.” JJ says looking at the small window at the bottom of the screen. 

      “What no you were in the middle of..” 

      “Now.’ JJ says sternly 

      “Ugh fine.” Garcia says, pulling up the file from the first victims computer, seeing hundreds of pictures. “Wait, no that can’t be.” Garcia says looking up at JJ. 

      “Delete that right now.” JJ demands. 

      “JJ I can’t tamper with the..” Garcia starts. 

      “NOW.” JJ says picking up the phone. 

      “Emily,” JJ says into the phone. “Come in here right away.”
