Prologue

They sat in shock, the news report playing in the background. The house was burning. Flames were high in the sky and as they watched, a jet of water began the fight against the fire. A bomb so sophisticated that only a few people in the world knew how to make it had been the cause of the explosion. Three witnesses in protective custody and six FBI agents had died. One a team member and a friend. The shock of his death wasn't the biggest thing though. The betrayal they all felt when they learnt what the truth was. The fact that he had been involved and responsible for both the explosion and the death of innocent people stunned them into silence. How had they not realised what was going on inside his head? It was their job. According to all the evidence their friend and colleague was responsible for a terrorism attack and now he's dead.

Special Agent Aaron Hotchner lowered his eyes from the television to the file in his hand. It was one he had looked at before, on more than one occasion. Someone he had respected and trusted. He thought he knew him! But the evidence he was presented with changed everything. Anger began to seep its way through the shock and disbelief. How could he? Good people had died. The betrayal was the hardest for Hotchner. He turned and looked at each person sitting around the table. The look of shock was starting to wear off as the emotions of the agents began to show through. Anger, betrayal, despair. He knew how they felt. Dropping the file back onto the table, Hotchner stood and walked out the door. He would do everything in his power to find out what happened. As of three hours ago, Special Agent Derek Morgan had officially been declared a terrorist. He was a murderer and had betrayed not only his country but his friends.

No one had seen it coming.
