HIDDEN SECRETS

Chapter One

While most don't like slow days at the office because they seem to drag on forever, the members of the BAU welcomed them with open arms. Slow days meant no cases. No cases meant they could sleep in the comforts of their own beds.

Agents Hotchner and Rossi busied themselves in their offices, Agent Jareau hid in her office sorting through all the un-investigated files littering every flat surface of her office while Garcia took the time to upgrade all her systems to better help the team. Dr. Reid sat back in his seat trying to figure out how his case pile was twice the size of both Agents Prentiss and Morgan's.

Agents Morgan and Prentiss spent most of their time trying to conceal their amusement. It didn't take long before they started laughing. Poor Reid. Their laughter was interrupted by the ringing of Prentiss' phone.

"Prentiss." She answered not checking the caller ID, distracted by the guys. JJ joined them asking about all the racket and was soon followed by Garcia. It was becoming an office party, that is, until Emily spoke.

"What?" She exclaimed into the phone. They'd rarely heard her use that tone and immediately felt sorry for the person on the other end. It was a tone saved for unsubs. And since they didn't receive calls from unsubs on their personal lines often they knew it wasn't an unsub.

The team immediately stopped what they were doing, their attention settling on her. All humor and relaxation left the room.

"When?" She took a deep breath, instant clue to something being extremely wrong. If Emily Prentiss couldn't keep her cool and compartmentalize a conversation then something wasn't right.

"I'll be right there. I want a guard outside her door until I get there." With worry evident in her voice, she paused listening to the person on the other line. Rossi stepped out of his office looking at the rest of the team for answers. It was rare for him to hear Emily Prentiss raise her voice in the office, he knew there was a good reason behind it. He looked into Hotch's office and found him oblivious to the outside world. He must really want to go home early. Rossi thought his attention once again drawn to the remainder of the team.

"I don't care, post someone." Without another word she hung up. The team's interest definitely peaked.

With the end of the phone call, the room was left in silence, no one knew what to say. The call having drained all her energy Emily sat back in her chair trying to regain herself. This couldn't be happening. She was supposed to be at school. Why hadn't the school called her? She needed to get to Hotch. A quick glance at the team told her she'd have to answer questions first. Questions she was not ready for.

"Emily" JJ kneeled before her. "Em what's wrong?" Emily looked up at JJ but quickly looked down when the tears threatened to spill. "I need Hotch." She whispered picking at her nails.

JJ turned to Rossi. "Get Hotch."

Rossi entered Hotch's office not bothering to knock. "You need to get out here Aaron."

"Dave what's wrong? Is everything alright?" The tone in Dave's voice had already told him no but he didn't want to overreact.

"You need to talk to Emily. She just received a disturbing call and wont talk to anyone, she's asking for you." Hotch stood up knocking his chair over in the process. Not bothering to pick it up he ran for the bullpen.

"Emily." He took JJ's place. "Emily sweetheart what's wrong? What happened?" The team had never heard him speak so softly. Not even to a victim.

She looked at him the first tear spilling. "Aaron she's in the hospital." It took but a second before understanding hit him. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and wiped the tear from her cheek. "You're not driving." She nodded. Emily not arguing was another clue that something was seriously wrong.

"Dave, tell Strauss to take us off rotation for the next week. JJ, any cases we can take care of from Quantico, lets take care of them. All others need to be given to another team."

Not bothering to wait for a response, Hotch placed a hand on Emily's lower back and guided her out. The team stood there stunned.

"What just happened?" JJ asked looking to Rossi. He shrugged, he was as lost as everyone else.

"Did she call him Aaron?" Morgan asked as he slumped in his chair.

"Did he call her sweetheart?" Reid asked he was sure he wasn't the only one who'd heard their boss use a term of endearment.

"Baby girl any way you can find out who called her?" His curiosity was getting the best of him. Emily was shook up and there was no way they were all going to just sit back and not do anything to help her. Without a word Garcia disappeared into her office.

Garcia turned to leave her office only she found she wasn't alone. The team had followed her. "The call was from Potomac Hospital. So I dug around a bit and found an Olivia Prentiss was brought into the emergency room thirty minutes ago."

The room was silent. "Does Emily have a sister or daughter we don't know about?" Morgan asked.

"I think we should ask Emily. It doesn't feel right digging into Emily's life." JJ received nods of agreement from the rest of the team.

"So how long before we go knocking on her door?" Reid asked the question on everyone's minds.
