My first fanfic I hate it when people say "Oh it's my first fanfic so be nice" but that's what I'm gonna say I don't own Criminal Minds or the hot actor that plays Reid, sorry how short this is

"Okay, you guys ready to leave," Hotch said as he handed the murderer in handcuffs to the New Jersey State Police Chief.

"Where's Reid?" Morgan asked questioning the absence of the youngest member of the group.

Alarm was clear on their faces; they burst through the door again. "Guys! I found Reid; you might want to see this…" Prentiss said, her small voice echoing throughout the nearly empty house. The others followed her voice to a small room, to find Reid holding a young girl chained to a bed.

"Who are you?" Hotch said sitting across from the girl. Hotch, Reid, and the girl all sat at a table. They gave the girl a small blanket and some water.

"I'm Zelena Mills," The blond says cautiously, her blue eyes wide.

"Did he kidnap you?" Reid asks doubtful, seeing as her being blond didn't fit the M.O. well. Zelena looked alarmed at this question and vigorously shook her head making her blond locks fly everywhere. "Well then what were you doing there?" Reid asked prodding further.

"He's my dad," Zelena said looking up through her dark eyelashes. Hotch suddenly looked more interested.

"Cameron Mills is your father?" Hotch said in a calm tone. She nods, but slowly this time.

"Do you have somewhere to stay tonight Zelena?" Reid asked abruptly his chestnut brown eyes boring into her steel blue ones. She shifted uncomfortably in her seat, and pulled the thin blanket tightly over her shoulders. She shook her head slightly.

"How old are you Zelena?" Hotch asked trying to make everyone forget about Reid's question. She might need to g o to a foster home Hotch thought, trying to calculate her age. Zelena shifted again her innocent looking eyes occasionally glancing over to Reid.

"22," Zelena said, afraid when she admitted this that they would throw her on the streets and take back any kindness they previously showed to her. Reid and Hotch shared a glance before standing up to join their team. Zelena fidgeted before standing up, this meant they didn't want her, she knew it. She gently folded the blanket, put it in her seat and wrote them a note thanking them for their kindness toward her

"So who is she?" Prentiss asked upon seeing Hotch and Reid walk back. The team and Garcia studied Hotch and Reid.

"Garcia, run a back round check on Zelena Mills age twenty two," Garcia mumbled a 'yes sir' and went off to her computer. "She seems shaken but not about her father she seemed more shaken that she was here and that we were asking her questions, not in a very stable mental state," Hotch finished.

"But she doesn't have a place to stay tonight," Reid said completely out-of-character. The team went silent as they turned to Reid in shock, the twenty four year old didn't seem affected by their prodding stares. Hotch sighed.

"She could stay at my place," Reid added not being his logical self, scaring the team.

"You heard Hotch, she probably isn't mentally stable, she could lash out and hurt you, possibly kill you, and you gotta admit it Reid you haven't had really good luck with the whole, not getting hurt by psycho serial killers," Morgan said running his hand across his bald scalp.

"She's the victim in this, plus, I have a gun and Morgan and Hotch on speed dial if I need your help I'll call," Reid said pwning the team with his knowledge and persuading tone.

"I guess one night couldn't hurt," Prentiss said, JJ and Rossi shared a look before shrugging. Morgan sighed and chuckled.

"Looks like I'm out-numbered anyway," Hotch replied. The team walked out to send Zelena and Reid to Reid's apartment to find her chair empty with the blanket folded and a note sitting on top.

Dear BAU members,

Thank you for your kindness toward me and I understand why you don't want me here any longer I have no heard feelings, thank you once again for the water and the blanket

Sincerely

Zelena

Reid threw the note down thinking this was his fault. "We have to go find her, whether you guys like it or not she might be a witness to Ryan Mills killings," Reid said and watched the team nod. They started to walk when Morgan's phone rang stopping them.

"Hey babe," Morgan said into the phone signaling it was Garcia. Morgan's eyes went wide as he hung up and thanked Garcia.

"Guys we might have a problem," Morgan said putting his phone in his pocket. Hotch raised in eyebrow.

"Zelena Mills died when she was 12,"
