White Flag (Jennifer Jareau x Fem!OC)

Chapter 11

The next day, we are classifying all the files in this case and Penelope brings us Marcus Manning's M.E report.

"Ohh, I come bearing something totally irrelevant, Marcus Manning's M.E report." Garcia says and hands it to JJ.

"Thanks, Penelope." JJ sighs.

"Can you give the M.E report, please?" I ask JJ. "I've never seen one before."

"Sure." JJ passes it to me, and I open the file. "There has to be something in all of these files that prove Floyd committed those murders."

"If he did do it, he hid it so well." Penelope sighs.

"Yeah, he did." JJ agrees. "Turns out he was a hell of a lot smarter than what we thought, and there's no way that this was just all dumb luck."

"Wait a minute, girls." I stop them. "The M.E says that there were 5 of Rebecca's fingers in Marcus' stomach."

"Yeah. And it's gross." They both do a strange face.

"Rebecca was missing all of her fingers." I state looking at them as if they were not understanding something and they finally understand.

"Rossi's testifying at the state hospital board right now." Garcia reflects. "Call Prentiss."

"Good work, love." JJ smiles at me with a smirk.

            The whole team is arriving back to the HQ this morning and we are waiting for them with JJ and Penelope. Penelope just went to the toilets, so I am alone with JJ.

"I'll miss having you to myself." I whisper to JJ, and she turns to me with a smile.

"They know how to share, don't worry." She flirts back sending me a knowing look.

"But do I?" I smirk.

"You'll have to get used to it." JJ smiles. "My boys asked me when you were coming over. Henry has a very hard math problem that only you can solve, and Michael wants to show you his new videogame."

"Well, if I'm really needed, I could pass by tomorrow afternoon?" I look into her eyes deeply.

"I'd love that." She smiles even more. "You'll stay for dinner by any chance?"

"My pleasure." I wink at her.

"Oh! Here they are." Penelope says excitedly coming back from the toilets. "It's the whole everyone, ok, whole family, whole family is here."

"Calm down, Penelope." I chuckle next to her earning a smile from JJ.

"Right." She winks at me. "Whole family, I would love to take this opportunity to formally apologize. I am so..."

"You don't have to apologize." Emily cuts the blonde girl. "We all understand from experience."

"Really?" Penelope seems worried.

"Yeah." Emily assures.

"All right." Penelope breathes out. "I'll shake that off. Uh, I am going to recommit to living life to the fullest. Right now, to that end, I'd like to invite everybody over to my house for a celebration of life, liberty and the pursuit of responsible intoxication."

            We all share a look, Emily and JJ winks at each other, and as I stand right behind JJ, I earn a few smirks from the boys. We all agree to the party and leave together while laughing.

"You'll have to fill me up with details." Spencer whispers in my ear when we enter the elevator.

"Will do, genius."
