The Bet: Chapter 2

JJ's POV

JJ walked into her hotel room which she shared with Emily, She turn the lights on, slipped of her jacket, and threw her keys on the nightstand. JJ layed on her bed and thought about what happen tonight.

Flashback

JJ and the team were racing against time, she knew Emily didn't have much and the team were tracing the steps of how Emily was taken right from them. She looked up at the unit cheif.

"Hotch we need to hurry"

"I know but we have nothing to go on"

"Oh yes we do!"

JJ and Hotch looked up and saw Reid walk in with a smile on his face. Morgan was right behind him.

" The UNSUB took Emily because she fit the profile, but he didn't know she was a FBI"

"Reid come on we have no time get to your point"

Reid was taken aback by JJ's motivation in finding saw something in her eyes that he never saw scared the hell out of him, he saw rage and fire in them.

Flashback ends

It's been less than three hours since Emily has been found, we were so close of losing her it was near the breaking point for the team. It scared the hell out of me just thinking about losing Emily my heart sinks. Five hours and counting that Agent Prentiss has been does she do this to me make me worry, make me care so hurts knowing that seeing one of my friends in trouble, that there is no way to help her.

My Life has always been easy to follow, easy to live, just plain easy. My job at the BAU is the Media Liaison, who picks out the cases that the team goes to. I talk to the press and the victims family's to comfort job is not that easy but its good to know how to read some people, but tonight with Emily something was off. I wish my brain knew what it is with her. Don't get me wrong Emily is a big girl, she can take care of herself but she does have her walls up and I am scared, that she will do something stupid or keep everything in. Since Emily join the BAU my life has been upside down.

Flashback-

I was in the bathroom cleaning up after I got attacked by the dogs in the barn. I couldn't believe that this what happened Reid is gone and I am scared. I look up in the mirror I saw a image of the dog starring at me, I reach over and grab my gun swiftly turn around, almost pulled the trigger.

" whoa JJ it's just me"

" Oh Emily"

"Are you okay Jenifer"

"Yeah I am fine"

"I am going to do interviews tomorrow why dont you come with me"

"Well I guess I can"

Emily turn to leave JJ, but JJ stop her.

"Emily how does this not get to you?"

"What do you mean?"

" you just got off a desk job, and seeing this everyday, you never flinch"

Hotch walks up behind her

" She's right you know, you never flinch"

"well i can compartmentalizes better than most people."

End flashback

I look at the clock only a hour has passed, I couldn't take this stress anymore. I walk over to the night stand and pick up my cell phone. I paced back and forth opening and shutting my cell, debating on texting Emily to see if she is alright. I couldn't take it anymore so I flip my phone open and text

"Hey" then press send.

I was still pacing around the my phone didn't go off I knew that she was busy getting drunk. Emily always did that even if she knows she can always come to me.
She frustrates me so much, I care way to much for is always there for me when i need someone why won't she let me be there for her. I couldn't wait any longer I had to see her, I need to see her. I grab my room key and left the room. I was getting in the elevator my mind was racing I have no idea what am going to say to her. I just want to let her know i am there for i reach the main floor i started to get butterflies in my stomach. I walk out off the elevator and went to the bar I see Emily with Morgan and Reid laughing.

JJ saw Emily downing another shot of this is going to be fun. JJ stood there watching her watching her walked over to her three friends, They all look up to see that I was there.

"Hey Emily"
