Emily Prentriss was alone in the world. With the exception of JJ, no one else knew she was alive. Her mother had died a couple of months before the incident with Doyle. She had never told her mother about him. Somehow he found out about her mother's death, which was how he was able to track her down. This time Doyle assumed she was dead as well, but he was still out there which was scary. She got on the plane which would fly to LA and then on to Hawaii. Her new home would be Hawaii. She took a look at a photo she had kept of the group in happier times. Tears came down her face.

Twenty years later

Emily Bruce was getting ready to go to her daughter's college weekend. After 20 years, she still had a very difficult time looking at herself in the mirror. Several large scars in her abdomen area were very noticeable. She was lucky she was still alive as she could have died from being impaled. She was very lucky there was no damage to any major organs or damage to her spinal column. She had told doctors she was in a terrible car accident that killed her husband when her daughter was a baby. The husband was fictitious. Everything about her life twenty years ago and to this day was a lie.

Emily had gone to a fertility clinic to have artificial insemination done as she had no desire to get pregnant the old fashioned way. No she'd had enough with men who had given her nothing but grief pain and sadness. She also didn't want to explain why she had scars on her abdomen. Too painful.

Hannah Bruce was about 5'10" with brown hair and green eyes. Whenever Emily looked at her, she looked like a female Spencer Reid. Her daughter was highly intelligent like Reid was. However, knowing what had happened to Reid, Emily was careful. Her daughter was socialized properly and went to college when she was the normal age. She had graduated early from high school but Emily made sure that she takes a year off to grow and mature. Her daughter loved to study flowers and plants so she did a one year internship at the Parks Gardens in Parks, Pennsylvania.

Emily was just about ready to leave when the door bell rang. Her daughter Hannah was there with two classmates that Emily had never met.

"Mom, these are two good friends of mine. This is Molly and Daniel Reid"

Emily couldn't believe it. Daniel Reid looked like the Spencer Reid she knew years ago.

She looked surprised but greeted them.

"Mom, Lula Archer is going to be performing tonight. Did you know she's Molly's cousin?"

"Yes, she is. My dad saved her from a stalker 25 years ago. My dad in case you didn't know is Spencer Reid. He's a FBI profiler. "

It was all Emily could do not to look shocked. She hadn't kept up with them. She had not done so deliberately. Shortly after Emily arrived in Hawaii, FBI agent arrested Cadet Seaver for being a mole in the agency. She had been recruited by Doyle to find Emily. Cadet Seaver was sentenced to life in a federal prison for her involvement. He believed that Emily was dead as he had been shown pictures by Cadet Seaver. Hotch believing that someone in the organization was a mole had left the pictures in his office where they could be seen. He had mentioned that he had the pictures. A camera was put in his office and Seaver was caught going into the office and making copies of them. She was followed where she was photographed giving Doyle the pictures. Doyle was killed in a police shootout. Emily knew about that and also knew that shortly thereafter, the BAU had broken up and gone their separate paths.

The next chapter will be when Reid meets Emily for the first time in 20 years.
