The team had just gotten back from a hell of a case. Three boys all under the age of 15 had gone missing. Three days after they went missing, they had shown up, all with the same marks on them, all tragically left with a short life. JJ was just finishing up the paperwork in her office when she was startled by the knock that came on her door.

"Jesus Emily, you scared me! What are you still doing here?" JJ asked pinching her nose. She could feel the headache coming on and was fighting to keep the images away.

"Just finished up paperwork. Wanna go out for a drink? Come on. That was one hell of a case and you sure as hell don't need to go home to that empty apartment just yet," Emily asked. The brunette agent knew that Henry was at Will's. The couple had split months ago. Emily had been secretly happy when it happened but hid her feelings for the blonde quite well. Lately it was becoming harder and harder. Whenever the blonde spoke or was close to her and whenever Emily could smell the lavender perfume that JJ always wore and the mango shampoo, her heart would beat erratically. She'd feel her heart drop into her stomach and she'd become breathless if only for a minute. This was beginning to grow old. Drinks, Emily thought, would be the best start. She knew the blonde was a little less than straight, joking about girlfriends in college. So what did she have to lose? Everything. Emily thought.

"Oh Em, not tonight. I need to finish this and I'm getting a headache. I'm thinking about going home and taking a nice long bath," JJ protested. She had actually wanted to join Emily. She wanted to let loose. Let Emily see a side of her she hadn't seen before. Lately, the blonde media liaison could feel something stirring inside of her whenever it came to the brunette. The way she walked, the way she smelled, the way her clothes hung on her body, sometimes she just couldn't help but to stop and appreciate the view. It wasn't as if JJ hadn't always had feelings for Emily or thought that the agent was sexy… but it had been Emily that had pushed her towards Will. Big mistake. JJ thought.

Three beers and two games of darts later and JJ was happy that Emily had convinced her an hour before to join her out. The two were getting pretty friendly at the bar. Luckily, no one was there that knew them. Emily had taken the opportunity to take them to a bar in D.C. rather than in Quantico and offered JJ the couch for the night in exchange for a fun night out and paying for the cab ride home. JJ had finally accepted when she realized that the spark in the brunette's eyes meant she wasn't going to give up.

Emily came back to table with a shot of tequila. One tequila. Two tequila. Three tequila and Emily could feel her hand wander up JJ's thigh.

"Hey what do you think about getting out of here? Go back to my place?" Emily whispered in JJ's left ear. JJ could feel the chill run up her spine and a spark that shot all the way down to her lower stomach. She couldn't tell if it was the alcohol taking over her body or the fact that she had wanted the brunette for so very long.

"What took you so long Prentiss?" JJ said with a wink. Within seconds the two were up and out of the booth. Emily paid the tab, leaving too much for a tip, but she didn't quite care. She finally had the blonde agent within her grasps. They hailed a cab and within twenty minutes were back at Emily's place.
