This idea came to me after watching Damaged and this is my first fic so tell me what you think...

Chapter One: Admiring Emily

SSA Emily Prentiss looked at the large pile of case files on her desk at the BAU. She sighed. I might as well tackle one of these she thought to herself. She loved her job but the files were her least favorite part. She sat down at her desk. She took the file on top of the pile and began working on it. In his office across from the bullpen area where her desk was SSA David Rossi was at his desk working on a file as well. He could see her from his desk. He stole glances at her when she was not looking. He admired her dark hair which framed her fair-skinned face beautifully. She was wearing it curly that day…she usually wore it straight…he liked her new curly hair. Her piercing dark eyes were by far her best feature…so full of mystery…he never really knew what she was thinking. He longed for those perfect red lips to touch his. She’s so perfect Rossi thought. He remembered how when he was solving the one case that haunted him for twenty years she was the one who cared the most. When he was sitting alone in the bar in Indianapolis and Emily, Morgan, and JJ found him and he asked “why do you care” she had answered “because you do.” Those little words had meant so much to him. Then he thought about how after they had worked a tough case in Los Angeles she had been questioning how a person could go from being a successful writer to brutal killer in 6 months time. He had told her that the unsub suffered an unbelievable tragedy and that “life’s a hell of a thing to happen to a person.” He remembered the look in her eyes. It was the first time she confided in him. He was still relatively new to the BAU at the time. He was suddenly recalled out of his fantasy and back to earth by the entrance of Special Agent Jennifer Jareau (JJ) into his office. “We have a new case I need everyone in the conference room” she said. Reluctantly he got up out of his chair and followed JJ out of his office and into the conference room. Emily was already there. There was an empty chair beside her. He sat down in it.

I like it, and I'm waiting for what will happened ! :)

Thanks Claire.

ooh I can't wait to read more,
:D

but wow.. Rossi/Emily - this is the first story for that couple I've read!!

ok so you have my attention....it is fanfic that really gets me thinking....I never gave gideon/elle a second thought until JJ wrote about them....

more please!

(and this is coming from the true gideon and elle fan club)

I'm also interested to see where it goes. I wouldn't think of these two together....but let's see where you take it. ;)

Chapter Two: The Briefing

Now that they were assembled in the conference room JJ began briefing them on the case. She hoped that none of them would notice that one of the victims was Emily’s sister, Emma Prentiss. JJ began “there’s been a series of murders of young brunette women on a college campus in Maryland.” Oh no Emily thought to herself I hope Emma is still alive. She flinched at the thought. Rossi noticed it. The flinch passed so quickly that he wondered if he imagined it. She went back to being her usual poised and calm self. He had admired how she was always so calm even in dealing with the most horrific situations. It was one of the first things he noticed about her. At times she came off as being distant and cold but underneath the seemingly cold exterior was a warm and caring heart. Rossi had see n the names of the victims in the opened file that JJ had set down on the table. He however kept the knowledge to himself knowing that as soon as their boss SSA Aaron Hotchner found out he would have no choice but to pull her from the case. Rossi knew that nothing would be worse to Emily then not being able to catch the monster that killed her sister. He promised to himself that he would keep an eye on her during the case and be there for her when she found out. JJ continued briefing them “ this unsub takes his victims from relatively traveled areas, tortures them, kills them, and then dumps the bodies.” “I want everyone on the jet in ten minutes.” Hotchner said. They all left the conference room.

Chapter Three: Finding Out

When they arrived at the college they were met by the dean. She was a tall blonde woman whose presence one noticed right away. JJ approached her first followed closely by the rest of the team. “I’m Agent Jennifer Jareau” she said extending her hand. They shook hands. “These are Agents Hotchner, Rossi, Morgan, Prentiss, and Dr. Reid” she said gesturing to each one. “ I’m sorry for your loss Agent Prentiss” the dean said. Prentiss looked over at Hotchner and Rossi as if to say why didn’t you tell me. Rossi gave her a look back that said I know I should have but…Hotchner said “let’s focus on finding this guy.” They went inside. Hotchner began dividing up the tasks. “ JJ I need you to talk to the friends of the victims and see what you can find out about them…Reid you help JJ…Prentiss, Rossi you stay here and look over the evidence and come up with the preliminary profile…Morgan you come with me we’ll go to the crime scenes.”
After the others left Prentiss and Rossi were alone in the room. They silently looked at the photos that were up on the board. Prentiss was trying to look at them objectively and hide her feelings of sadness and betrayal. Why didn’t they tell me she thought. Rossi was trying to focus but thinking about how badly he had messed up. Will she ever forgive me? Will I ever be able to hold her in my arms? He thought to himself. He tried to get the thought out of his mind but couldn’t. He thought maybe he should say something to her. He began “ I should have said something.” “Why didn’t you?” she asked angrily. “I just didn’t want to hurt you” he said. “ I care too much about you.” “So I find out from a complete stranger that my sister is a victim in our case and that she died and not from my own friends and team.” She left the room leaving Rossi alone to contemplate what she had just said and sift through the evidence. He attempted to look through the evidence in an objective manner. When he came to the picture of Emma he couldn’t help but think that she looked like a younger version of her sister. This was not helping his concentration but he kept on with it.
Meanwhile Emily was taking a walk around the campus trying to sort out her thoughts. How can I mess things up so badly? He actually cares about me.

It's sad ! Poor Emily ! I just can't wait to kow if she can forgive the team (and especially Rossi) for hidding her the truth !

Geez poor Emily and Rossi! Please add more soon!

wow, that´s rough, I love it^^ It´s really interesting :lol:
