Summary
The first time that Jennifer Jareau’s phone rang that morning, she checked the caller ID and promptly rejected the call. The caller would understand. They did have an agreement after all. No calls during work hours.
The fourth and final time that JJ’s phone rang that morning, interrupting Reid on one of his long explanations of why the coloured tops that the victims were wearing could be linked to a certain chapter of the bible, JJ finally picked up.
“Jen. It’s Jess. She didn’t come home from work on Tuesday.”
A Higher Ground x Criminal Minds crossover. Jennifer Jareau centric but will include other character storylines.

Summary
It all started with that case in Seattle.
That stupid case.
Stepping foot in Seattle meant facing the one thing Jennifer Jareau had sworn to keep a secret. After all, she haven’t been Shelby Merrick in years, so why feel the need to revisit any of it.
or
JJ comes clean to Emily about her past, before she became Jennifer Jareau
