Tangled Loyalties | HOTCHNISS FANFICTION

Welcome To America

The Interpol team landed at two in the afternoon. The landing area was crowded with uniformed officers, but one blonde stood out from the crowd. It was probably the white suit she was wearing that made her more conspicuous, plus the bright blonde hair that was slicked back.

Emily's eyes squinted as the sun hits her face. It is much hotter than back in London.

"Geez." She mumbled.

JJ was waiting at the bottom of the steps, eager to finally meet the Interpol team. Last time the Interpol got to work with the BAU, she was on maternity leave.

"Hi President, I'm Agent Jareau, nice to meet you and your team." JJ introduced herself first.

"Oh please, call me Prentiss. This is Agent Luke Alvez, Agent Thomas Kane, Agent Eloise Wayne and Agent Josh Till." Emily introduced the members of her team.

"Nice to meet you all." JJ reached out and shook everyone's hands. "I've gotta say, I was expecting you to have a British accent."

"Agent Alvez and I was born here, but sometimes our British accent does come out.." Emily admits.

"Shall we get going?" JJ lead them to the black SUV she drove there earlier. "The team is waiting for you all back in the office. Our technical analyst-"

"Penelope Garcia." Alvez interrupts.

"...Yes." JJ was surprised he knew who she was, plus he said it in a way that made it sound like they were friends, though Penelope never mentioned him before. "She will provide you all with a temporary tablet and phone so it's easier to communicate."

"How is she?" Alvez wouldn't stop asking about her.

"Great, but don't take my words for it." JJ looked at the rearview mirror to face him. "Have you worked with her before?"

"Yes, actually I was in the BAU for about a month. I helped catch a few fugitives back in-" Alves was about to explain but JJ remembers.

"Oh right! Sorry Agent, I'm not very good at remembering." JJ chuckled as she drove past buildings. "Nice to have you back here, even if it's just for a while. How did you end up in Interpol?"

"Prentiss personally called me and asked to join her team.. and I didn't say no because the benefits were outstanding." Alvez smiled.

"Oh hush, you're making me look bad." Emily joked.

"That sounds amazing. Glad to see you doing well agent." JJ smiled.

JJ reached out for her phone with one hand and called Garcia, "Hey Pen we are five out, let Hotch know." JJ reminded her.

"Okay thanks munchkin." Garcia hung up.

JJ made a funny face, chuckling at her funny but sweet nicknames.

"Hotch is the Unit Chief?" Emily asked, breaking the silence in the car.

"Yes.." JJ trailed off, seems like she wanted to say more about him.

"What?" Emily noticed it.

"He can be a bit tough to work with, but just know that he is the best and will do the job." JJ bit her bottom lip.

"Luke says he's a nice fella." Emily recalled what Alvez said on the plane.

"He is, he's just not very warm with new people."

"I see.. well then, I look forward to meeting him." Emily smiled and looked out the window.

It's been a while since Emily last visited Quantico. She remembers her mother visiting the BAU, but she never actually went into the building. Emily was around fourteen then.
