The Not So Small Family

34

Knock knock knock

Jess got up from her seat to go answer the door. When she opened the door she saw a man in a suit with a manilla folder.

"Are you Emily Prentiss?" He asked before she could even open her mouth.

She looked back before turning to face him again.

"No sir, I'm not"

His face turned irritated before he asked in a clipped tone, "Well is there an Emily Prentiss here?"

"Uh yes sir there is"

He thrusted the folder in her face as he sternly told her to give it to Emily before walking away.

She closed the door and turned around to see eyes staring at her.

"What was that about?" Dani asked.

"Some guy in a fancy suit dropped something off for Emily"

"What happened?" Emily asked walking in with JJ in tow.

"A guy... he dropped this off for you" she said as she offered the folder to Emily.

Emily pulled a confused face before taking the folder from Jess and looked it over.

She looked to JJ before looking back at the folder, "There's nothing on it. No return address, no nothing"

JJ glanced at it before turning back to Emily, "Well open it up, let's see what's in it"

Emily ripped it open taking out papers that were stapled together. She skimmed the first few lines before clenching her jaw and not so gently set it on the table.

JJ watched as Emily walked into the kitchen before she turned to the paper and read it.

She sighed and turned around and walked into the kitchen.

"Emily..." JJ started

"I don't wanna talk about it Jay"

"Emily he's being charged, they want you to testify"

"You took video, they have enough fucking evidence"

"Emily-"

"No. I don't want to see McShitface"

She huffed before setting the papers on the counter.

She followed Emily back into the foyer. She was about to speak before she was interrupted by Emily's phone ringing.

"Heyo" Emily answered without checking who was calling.

She suddenly stopped walking and stared at the wall for a good 10 seconds before, "What!?"

Everyone looked her way as she continued to talk to the person on the other side of the phone.

"What'd you mean!?... Well did he do it?... I-Hotch-spsp" She sputtered

She continued to stare at the wall as she gave JJ the phone.

JJ raised her eyebrow as she took the phone, "Hey Hotch, wassup?"

"Hi... Rossi got arrested"

"Heh, what?!"

"Yeah"

"What for?"

"He's accused of murdering his ex wife"

"Uh... which one?"

"Hayden"

"Ok um-"

"Can you guys come in and help. We need to figure out if he did it or not"

"Yeah but we need to pack"
