Return to Mt Horizon

JJ's pov
"Garcia it works?" Emily asked. She had an earpiece, but I wasn't allowed one. Emily nodded at me and I turned away. I watched the cars that drove by and something came over me. It was like I was 14 again, doing it came naturally for me. I walked down the street and waved at the cars, just like I used to. A car pulled up and I leaned on the door.

"Lonely night?" I smiled. Not me JJ smile, my Shelby smile. A smile that I had perfected for this. I did that to three cars before one I recognized pulled up. "Hey there." Walt said. I gave him my JJ smile, the one that meant I'm just an innocent girl. "I didn't expect to see you here agent." I laughed. "Have to pay the bills somehow. Now you just gonna talk or are you looking for company?"

"I would love company from you blondie." I smiled again. "Why don't you park and we can have some fun. I would hate for your wife to find out." He agreed and went to park his car.

Emily's pov
When I turned around JJ was gone. Something is going on with her. After walking down the streets to find her, Hotch called me. "What?" I asked, annoyed. He wasn't supposed to be calling me. "Where's JJ? The hospital called, the DNA from the living victim is from Walt. He is our unsub." Shit.

I asked Garcia for JJ's location but she couldn't find anything. "Gimme a description Garcia. Where is she?" I heard the frantic typing as I walked up and down the streets, looking in alleys and around corners. "She's in an alley by the corner on Walker and  5th. Everyone will meet you there. Don't be stupid." I was on fourth so I took off running.

JJ's pov
I stood by a dumpster and waited for Walt. When he showed up, he walked closer to me and I saw a knife in his hand. He hit me a couple times and I fell against the dumpster, I could feel the blood on my forehead. He tried to cut me but I dodged it and swung at his face. He went down and I got on top of him. Emily appeared behind us with her gun but I smiled and kept hitting him.

The rest of the team and Auggie showed up next. Emily yelled for me but I didn't hear what she said. I felt Hotch's arms pick me up from behind and pull me away from him, but I still kept fighting. "JJ stop. It's over." Morgan yelled, but I pulled Hotch's arms off of me. "Get the fuck off me." He gave up and let Emily take over.

"Are you okay?" She asked, looking at the cut on my head and my bloody nose. "Get away from me. I'm fine. Just drive me back to Horizon." I stated. Hotch tried to get me to go to the station but I snapped at him. "Did I say the station?" Everyone looked at my with blank stares. "JJ? What happened?" Derek asked.

"I'll get Garcia to drive me." I ignored them all trying to figure out what happened and walked towards the van she was in. "Sweets, what happened?" She asked. "Gimme the keys." She stammered for a minute before grabbing them from her bag. "Is everything okay?" I rolled my eyes and turned on the engine. "I'm not really in the mood for a therapy session so save it for someone else."

"I don't know what just happened but you will not speak to me like that.' She stated, grabbing the clutch before I could drive. "Then get out of the car Garcia." She moved her hand and I started driving. When I got to Horizon I went straight to the showers and cleaned myself off. I scrubbed my skin until it hurt, I needed to get him off me.

When I got dressed, I left to find all my cigarette hiding places. They may by dried out but I need one. First I tried the log pile, nothing. Then I tried the mattress, nothing. I went to the docks and looked in the log I had hollowed out. Found them. I grabbed the box and my lighter and sat on the docks. "You know smoking kills?"

"Not in the mood." I told Sophie. She smiled and just sat next to me. "Hard night?" She asked. I laughed and lit one before putting it to my lips. "Shelby, your head. Let me get some things to clean it. I'll be right back." She ran to the shed and grabbed a first aid kit before fixing up my forehead. "Wanna talk about it?" She asked, wiping the blood from my nose "You're not my counselor."
