Save me - an Ashley Olsen story

Virgina and Pennsylvania

POV JJ

"Wheels up in 10" Hotch says and we all get up to get ready to leave. We head to the plain with our bags and files waiting for take-off. "Call Ashley yet?" Emily asks sitting next to me. Just about to..." I trail off and she tilts her head for me to continue. "Dr. Wells, she told me I should face my mother. That she is what's holding me back from forgiving myself." I say looking at her. "I am going to get a train over to Pennsylvania after the case to see her and visit Ros's grave." I continue. Emily smiles a bit and grabs my hand. "I'm so proud of you" she whispers so no one could hear. "You didn't tell her, did you?" She asks. "No, I didn't know how" I say looking down. "Were you going to tell her over the phone?" She asks making me snort a bit. "No." I deadpan making her laugh. "I don't want her to worry even more. She heard the phone call and how she talked to me. She would want to come, and I don't want to scare her off. I don't want her to pity me even more than she does" I say and Emily sighs. "You and I both know she doesn't pity you, JJ. She worries and she loves you. But I understand... well, somewhat" she says. "How do I tell her?" I ask her and she sighs. "I don't know. Maybe you should tell her when you come back. I can cover for you those few days if she asks." She says and I smile. "That is what I was thinking. Better to ask for forgiveness" I say laughing a bit. "Oh, you're screwed" she says, and we both laugh.

We just landed in Virgina and we all head straight towards the police station. Garcia had given us more information on the plane that gave us a head start in our profile. We spend the whole day following leads and building a strong profile on our unsub. Spencer and I get pared up to go through all the evidence left to find any patterns used and we spend the whole day building a web on the white boards. "Garcia, based off the radius and parameters we gave you were you able to narrow down those 10 options for possible targets?" Spece asks over the phone. We have gotten to the point where we ran out of things to follow, and it was 2 am. "Yes, my pretties! Oh man I have drunk way too much coffee! Ok, ok! So, I have 3 possible locations for you that fit the bill." She says and I perk up a bit. "Tell us" I say, and she lists them. "Spence call Hotch wake them up" I say, and he nods. I pull my phone out and text Emily telling her to come back. 20 minutes later the whole team is here, and we gave them the rundown of what Pen gave us. "Good work JJ and Spencer. You guys should get some sleep we can hit the locations." Hotch says. "No, he strikes at night, and we need all of us" I say grabbing my jacket. He sighs and nods turning to us all. "There's going to be three teams. I talked with the captain, and he is providing some backup. When we get there, they will secure the area." He says looking at all of us. "For location 1 Rossi and Morgan, location two is JJ and Emily then Reid and I will hit location 3. Ok, everyone move out" he says and we all head to our cars to vest up. Once we get ready, I drive off to our location Emily in the passenger side. "I don't see why I can never drive unless I'm with Rossi or Reid" she says huffing. "Because you are a bad driver. Lots of road rage" I say smirking making her roll her eyes. We pull up to our location and hope out. "Eyes out for anything. I'll take back your get front, meet in the middle?" I ask and she nods. "See you soon" she says, and we head off. I make my way around back, "In position" I say over the radio. "Entering now" Emily says and I open the door slowly. I make my way through the dark halls and aim my gun in front ready for anything. I come to a door and slowly reach for the handle whipping it open to find nothing. I sigh and continue down the hall. I creep along the wall as it comes to a corner and take a breath before rushing around it. "Woah" I hear and relax seeing Emily. "All clear on my end" she says. "Me too" I say, and we huff. "Location 2 is all clear. Set a perimeter around it" I say into the radio, and we get an ok. "What now?" Emily asks. "Tell the others" I say, and she nods pulling out her phone. I head out to the front as Emily informs the others. "We set up the perimeter ma'am" An officer says. "Thank you" I say, and he nods walking away. "Hotch wants us back at the station. Rossi and Morgan found a body, looks like it's from the unsub" she says, and I nod as we head to the car.
