Everything Is Alright… Not!
"We're all in danger…"
Emily sat up quickly, waking up from another nightmare. She felt the sweat dripping down her forehead and wiped it off with the back of her hand. Now she was sitting on the edge of her bed, letting her face rest in the palms of her hands as she sighed deeply.
"Damn it… I can't let it get to me…" she told herself, as she got up and walked over to her washroom, where she splashed so cold water in her face and looked up at the time… three in the morning.
So instead of heading back to bed, Emily Prentiss got dressed, walked out of her condo and was now heading to the bureau where she knew focusing on files would get Ian Doyle out of her mind.
After the almost twenty five minute drive, Emily had arrived at her desk and saw the still to be finished pile on her desk and automatically started working. She was deep in her work when the feeling of someone's hand was laid upon her right shoulder, causing her to grab hold of it and rapidly slamming the owner of the hand onto her desk, while she had him in a arm lock.
"OW!" she knew who that squeaked belong to.
"Oh god, Reid, I'm sorry! You just scared the hell out of me" she immediately released him before apologizing to him.
"Ouch… what are you doing here at five in the morning?"
"It can't be five already…" she then shut her mouth as soon as she let those words slip out of her mouth.
"How long have you been here?"
"…three thirty"
"Emily even Hotch or I don't come in at this time… are you okay?"
"Never better why?"
"Because you always come to work at nine O'clock flat, because you enjoy as much sleep you can get"
"… I've been feeling different"
"What kind of different?"
"More alive…" she looked straight into his puppy dog eyes, and then walked away from him when she heard her phone starting to ring.
The ID showed that the caller was Sean McAllister, who she sends to her voicemail, because she wanted to forget one day of Ian Doyle… just one day.

She had came in to work again at around three thirty in the morning but had taken a small break to go take a smoke outside, where both Morgan and Garcia saw her and looked utterly confused. They had never known Emily smoked or had ever saw her in the five years they've worked with her… but they also barely knew anything about her. Then Emily's work phone rang and she answered it like it was any other day at the bureau.
"Prentiss"
"Emily…" it was Sean.
"Can't this wait until later?" at this, Reid was listening in on what Emily was saying and also listening at her tone.
"It can't… Tessah was found murdered last night in her home… the MO points exactly to him… Emily you have to get out of Quantico… Virginia even!"
"If he wants me, I'll have my gun ready" she hung up the phone, rather harshly, before walking up to Hotch's office and asking for the rest of the day off since she had been here since three thirty in the morning, which surprised him and he then agreed.
"Emily…" Reid called out, "Emily, what was that all about?"
"Listen, we all have things we need to keep to ourselves… so back off!"
"What did you mean by having your gun ready?"
"…You. Eavesdrop! I don't come in, in your personal bubble! I don't mention to you about your meetings or going to see a classical movie to you when you say that, so back off!" she got into the elevator, only for him to have walked in as well.
"I got better and the reason that I don't mention it is because if Strauss ever found out, Hotch would be looking for another job right now. Now what's going on?"
"Reid, you seriously need to back off, something you don't want to get yourself involve in"
"I can help you, if you just let me help you"
"You can't do a thing…"
"Emily…"
"Reid… please don't you even think about mentioning anything to Hotch or anyone else on the team" she told him in a menacing tone, which she had never used on him before, scaring him. But before he could say or do anything the doors opened and she stormed off, while he remained still and shocked in the elevator.
Hours later, Reid arrived back in his small one bedroom apartment where he was getting ready to head straight to bed, when a knock came at this door. After looking into the peephole, he then quickly opened and let the soaked person into his home.
"Emily what are …" she kissed him there and then, used her foot to close the door and deepened the kiss between the two of them, before he couldn't stop himself and pushed her up against the wall and everything else went along.

After they cried out their released, Reid remained on top of Emily, while she kissed him on the lips, and slowly move down to his jaw line and his neck. Neither of them had ever had an experience like this before. As he got off of her, he laid on his back, staring at the ceiling, smiling like an idiot, which disappeared when thoughts were returning to his brain.
"Do you believe that secrets can destroy you?"
"Some yeah, what's going on Emily? I know you're very private, but you're not the type of person to drive in a snow storm for twenty minutes at least for a one night stand"
"An old colleague from my real last job before the BAU was murdered today… that was the call at work"
"Okay, but why is it a secret… wait, real job? You didn't work at a desk job?"
"… I have to go" she grabbed her clothes, got dressed and was heading out the door, when he stooped her.
"You come here, make a move on me, we sleep together and you start to tell me something that I know is bothering you and you expect me to let you walk away?"
"It was a mistake to come here" she said harshly.
"…Leave" he told her coldly and she left.

As she entered her apartment, Emily made it to her couch and finally let the walls come down; she was crying. But as soon as she heard a small crack, she moved away, only to have just dodged a baseball bat that had collide not only her lamp, but a small statue that her mother had given her.
"It's been a while Emily" he smiled at her evilly.
"Ian…" she answered coldly.
"Aww, I've missed you too, but now I'm here to finish some business" he turned serious, before kicking something towards her and swung the bat, which make contact with her gut, making her kneel over, before he hit her with the bat, making her head collide with the hardwood floor.
"Nighty night Emily" he told her before a silencer from a gun went off, the bat fell but no bodies or thud was heard. Instead the sound of two people running after each other was heard before her world went black.
As her eyes opened, Emily saw that she was on the floor of a van and as she slowly rose up, the sharp pain both in her gut and head were hurting like hell! Her vision was blurry but she knew whose eyes she was looking at from the rear view mirror… it was Sean.
"Glad to see you're awake, Emily"
"Doyle…"
"He jumped balcony to balcony and down the fire escape… he was long gone by the time I reached it"
"Where are you taking me?"
"Where do you think?"
"What about my job and friends?"
"I uh sort of set your place on fire, while Thomas got a corpse that would fit your body description perfectly, died of a heart attack"
"This is really happening?"
"I'm afraid so Emily"
"What about you?"
"I'll be placed somewhere else, you'll only get contact from Thomas"
