6. i’m sorry kiss
It had been a tough case for everyone, and the utter depravity they had witnessed over the last few days had them all on edge. Cases like these tested their humanity and their ability to compartmentalize and push their emotions out of the way in order to do their job safely.
Emily had let her anger and frustration get the best of her, running after an armed suspect with little care for her own well being. She had ignored the yells from both JJ and Hotch as she sprinted into the building, her blood pumping at the thought of being too late to save the little girl they were looking for. She knew she had been lucky, escaping the incident with only a few cuts and a bruised rib, but in the moment she hadn’t been able to stop herself.
JJ was angry, rightfully so, and they had argued back at the precinct, JJ reminding Emily that she wasn’t impervious to the dangers of the job. Emily argued that the ends justified that means, pointing out the fact that they had saved a life today. JJ had deflated in front of Emily, knowing she couldn’t fully express the depths of fear and anger that she was feeling towards her girlfriend.
