Parker bounced the tennis ball three times before tossing it up for the perfect serve. She hit it as hard as she could and smiled as it bounced in and past her opponent.

"Great shot" Graham yelled.

"Thanks Graham. I really really want to prove to the coach I'm number one singles material" Parker yelled back.

Parker switched sides and looked over when she heard the whispers of her fellow classmates. Seeing them all staring at Principle Hawks,Parker jogged over to Graham.
Principle Hawks was definitely looking for someone and suddenly she zeroed in on her target.

"Parker,my office please. Grab your stuff and let's go."

Parker looked at Graham and shrugged her shoulders. She gave him their secret two finger salute signaling that she will call him later and sprinted after Principle Hawks.

Parker looked around the office wondering what was going on. She didn't recall getting in any sort of trouble. She was still thinking when Principle Hawk opened her door and summoned her in.

"Please take a seat,Parker."

Parker sat down and instantly started spinning her bracelet on her wrist. It was the one thing that could keep her calm at the moment.

"I'm assuming you have no idea as to why you are being called in here,do you?"

Parker looked up and gave a small smile and all but whispered the next few words, "No ma'am I haven't the slightest clue."

"Parker,you may as well start telling the truth because I've already contacted your cousin to come get you."

"My cousin?"

"Yes your cousin,Agent Jennifer Jareau." Principle Hawks looked at the girl across from her wondering what it would take her to admit what she had been hiding the past two years.

"Parker,you moved here suddenly two years ago. And,while we were glad to have you, we all knew something was off. Your mother never once came in,anytime anything needed to go through her you had some excuse that fooled your teachers but not me. I did some digging and..." her voice trailed off as she looked at the panic-stricken girl in front of her yet again.

Parker blinked back the tears that were threating to spill over. She had never cried for what was loss but to have it all come crashing down so unexpectedly was enough to make anyone break.

"Sweetie,I know this isn't what you want to hear but you've been dealing with everything by yourself for the past two years. No sixteen year old should have to be an adult when they are your age. Parker,look at me. You shouldn't have hidden the fact that your mom was dead and that your dad had died so many years before. I don't know how your case slipped through the cracks but it did and it ends now. I'm so sorry but this can't continue. I sent your case to child services and they got back to me a few moments before I came and found you. Your cousin is more then happy to take you in until you are a legal adult although she says you are more then welcome to stay with her as long as you wish. She will be here in about an hour so let's get you home to start packing."

Forty five minutes later Parker had everything she needed packed into boxes. The small apartment she had managed to secure and live in by herself for the past two years never felt like home and therefore Parker had no reason to make it look like a home. She piled the last box next to the door wondering what JJ would say when she saw Parker for the first time since Parker was five.

She wandered over to the window and saw a black SUV pull up with a U-Haul behind it. She moved next to the wall so she could peek out,hopefully, without being seen. She watched as a beautiful blonde stepped out of the passenger side and a tall black haired man stepped out of the drivers side. She continued watching as the laughing blonde opened the back door and a smiling red head spilled out. All three looked behind the U-Haul as another black SUV pulled up. This car also held three people. A muscular black man slid gracefully from the front seat as he pulled his sunglasses up. He looked back as a thin guy who looked to be about 18 all but tumbled out of the back seat. Around the front of the second SVU a black haired woman came around laughing at the thin boy from the back. As if sensing her gaze,all six looked up at the window. Parker sighed and stepped back and thought, "here goes nothing."
