WE SPENT the next four hours working on the profile. We gave our preliminary profile to the police chief by six, so he could talk to the press. However, we hit a wall, because there simply just wasn't enough information. 

"Alright, I'm calling it a day. Let's head to the hotel." Emily said as we were all sitting around the conference room table. Everyone sighed with relief as we packed our stuff and headed to the SUVs parked outside. I rode with JJ, Spencer, and Luke. The hotel was only ten minutes away but we talked the entire time. "Did you know that Luke has a little crush on Penelope?" JJ whispered to me with a huge smile. She was sitting next to me in the back while Luke drove and Spencer was in shotgun.

"No way!" I said surprised.

"I do not, don't listen to a word she says y/n," Luke argued. Although, I could see a small smile on his face. 

"Judging from the way your eyes keep darting back and forth, and how you keep moving your hands up and down the wheel, I think JJ's right," Spencer said playfully.

"I hate you guys," Luke said pretending to be mad.

"Oh shut up, you love us." JJ laughed.

"Especially Penelope." I teased. I could hear JJ and Spencer both laugh.

"I was gonna go easy on you because you were the new kid, but not anymore. You better watch out y/n." Luke said as he playfully glared at me through the rearview mirror. I laughed. 

We talked for a couple more minutes before we pulled into the hotel. We grabbed our bags and headed to the lobby, where the rest of the team was already standing.

"What do you mean you don't have eight rooms?" Emily asked annoyed, as she talked to the receptionist. 

"Im sorry ma'am we just don't have enough space. The most I can give you is five." The receptionist said, slightly terrified. I couldn't see Emily's facial expression because I was behind her, but I knew it wasn't pretty. Emily finally turned around after she was given the five-room keys. "Six people have to double up," Emily said with a small frown.

"I call y/n," JJ said as she looped her arm around mine. I smiled at her. Now this will actually be fun.

However, when I looked up at Emily, her frown had gotten even bigger. What is her problem?

"Spence and I can room together," Luke said with a smile as he gave Spencer a small nudge. Spencer then mouthed an "ow" which caused Luke to laugh. 

"Okay, tara and I can also room together. Matt and Rossi you guys can have your own room." Emily said before heading to the elevator. We all followed behind her and headed to our rooms. Luckily they were all next to each other. 

Once we unlocked our room and unpacked our stuff, JJ headed to the bathroom to take a shower. I pulled out a book that I had packed this morning. Holy shit, this day has felt so long.

Twenty minutes later JJ came out of the bathroom. "What are you reading?" She asked as she sat on her bed, which was across from mine. Her hair was still wet and she was wearing shorts and a hoodie.

"Pride and Prejudice," I said as I held up the cover for her to see. It was one of my favorite books, I had probably read it twenty times.

"Are you reading it- in French?!" JJ asked as she leaned closer to me to see the cover. I laughed.

"Yeah, I find reading in French helps me stay fluent." 

"You speak French?!" She asked surprised.

"Yeah, and Spanish, German, and Italian," I said. The look on JJ's face made me laugh.
