JJ's Secret Lover

JJ's Fiancé - Part 38

You are sitting on the couch, after taking your medication, flicking through TV channels. "Hey, how you feeling?" JJ asks you while joining you on the couch. You feel no different for now, "It'll be a few hours to feel any different, I've been off them for long enough it'll be like I've started them for the first time." She sits down and puts her legs on your lap, you rub your hand up and down them as you land on a TV channel.

"It's going to be a rough couple of days, I've basically detoxed from them. I'll be on edge." You look over at JJ, she smiles and places her hand on yours. "You can't scare me off now, we're engaged." You both smile and cuddle on the couch while you watch movies. 

You are interrupted by JJ's phone ringing. "Agent Jareau." You can hear a faint voice, it sounds like Hotch. "Yes sir, we'll be right in." She frowns and looks over at you. "We have a case." You sigh and get up to get changed, JJ follows you to the bedroom. You change into something simple, minimal effort and grab your gun from the safe. Handing JJ her gun and heading down stairs again.

You skip coffee, you're already on edge, coffee would make it worse. Walking to the car, waiting for JJ. You jump into the driver's seat and watch JJ lock the door. She jumps in and you start the car. "Did he say what kind of case?" You ask her as you pull out of the driveway.

Making it to the office, being greeted by the team with smiles and giggles. Our first day back at work since the engagement, although you weren't going in the first place.

"Sorry to pull you in, but the case needs all hands." You look at Hotch with both a smile and a frown. He leads you all to the briefing room. "Ok, Garcia, off you go." He says watching Garcia pull up her screen. 

"We have a local. 3 people, successful businessmen. Killed in broad daylight, all surrounded by high rises." She starts off, you notice the images on the screen. Bringing you back to your sniper training, you opted in for the training to improve your leadership skills. 

"Local PD have called us in, they can't seem to pinpoint where the shots would have come from. They also don't have the man power to search all the buildings." She looks back at the team for any questions or theories.

"Military history, definitely." You add in to the conversation, Reid seems unsure and asks "What point's out military?" I sigh and think of my theory for a second before defending it.

"Ok, so. The usual sniper would be less attentive to the sound and more to the target, but this unsub made sure that the sound would bounce. Giving him plenty of time to run. The military teaches that in sniper training. Hide yourself as well as the sound." The team stares at you, JJ placing her hand on your thigh.

"Ok, so. JJ, Y/N and I will head to the latest crime scene. The rest of you set up with local PD and make sure you're careful." Hotch states before standing up from the table and leaving.

Derek makes a snarky comment, "Gosh, you really are the trick of all trades." Before even thinking you snap at him, "Oh fuck off Derek." Shocked at what you just said, you leave the room swiftly. JJ in pursuit. 

"Y/N? You ok?" She asks as she catches me at the elevator. "I told you, edgy." She lets out a small smile before saying, "Honestly, I think you scared him a little. Good on you." You turn to her, seeing her smile before letting one form on your face as well. 

Hotch meets you at the elevator and you all ride down to the car. "Hotch, is local PD at the scene? I have an idea. Oh and ask for a sniper and blanks" You say as Hotch starts the car, he turns to JJ next to him and says, "Call local PD, send 3 officers to the scene Tell the Chief to come with a sniper and blanks." JJ nods and he drives to the scene.

You make it to the scene, meeting with the officers and Chief. "Ok, I have an idea. But I would call into your wives and tell them you'll be home late tonight." You grab the sniper from the chief, loading it with the blanks and telling an officer to stand where the victim was. 

I turn to Hotch and JJ and say quietly, "I'm going to get into the un-subs mind. We have security cameras with the sound his bullet would have created, so I'll recreate it and get Garcia to help me pinpoint it.

I look up at each high rise, thinking for a second before saying. "I think there's about 6 possible spots, I need one of you with me. Someone to flash a badge." Hotch nods and nudges JJ on the arm. We both head to the first possible spot, making our way to the preferred level.
