It seemed like a normal day the office, two young boys had been killed and another had also been kidnapped but luckily they found the unsub and the boy and returned him home safely.

They got the plane back and the elevator up to their offices to find a young, panicky girl sat I the waiting area. As she saw the agents walking out of the elevator she jumped up to greet them.

'Excuse me, sorry are you the Behaviour analysis unit?' The agents looking puzzled and concerned looked back at the young girl until Emily spoke and said, 'guys, I'll ugh… meet you in the office I'll handle this.' 'Come this way.'

Emily lead the young girl into her office as the rest of the team watched and sat down.

'hi sorry about that, are you okay?'

'Your Emily Prentiss?'

'yes…'

'Okay so my mom, well…I don't think you know her personally but her name is Lila Archer and she has gone missing.'

Emily knew the name rang a bell but she couldn't place where or when she had heard it so she told the girl to just go to her local police and speak to them but the young girl wouldn't give up that easily.

'No! I've tried and they just said she's an adult and she'll turn up eventually...plus one of your agents knows her, and to what I believe it was a very intimate relationship.'

These words, at first puzzled Emily and then it was like a lightbulb was turned on in her head and a conversation replayed in her mind of JJ telling Emily a story about Spencer, how he went to a school reunion back in 06 with Gideon and he met one of the girls he had a crush on back in the day named Lila. Turned out she had a stalker and Reid had to watch her to make sure she was okay and ended up in a pool completely clothed kissing. Paparazzi captured the moment and a whole lot of other things went on, but some of the team believe he met up with Lila and had fun but he never spoke about it.

Emily, trying not to worry the girl decided to find out more about her and asked her a couple of questions.

'I apologize but can I get your name?'

'Faith…Faith Archer.'

'And how old are you?'

'thirteen but mom says I'm more like a fifteen year old.'

Emily smiled at this and agreed with faith. 'so, where is your father?'

'I Don't know, mom said she would rather me not know him but I have my suspicions.'

'you think Spencer is…'

'I am refraining from jumping to conclusions but she mentions him every now and again and has a small photo of him and her together in the bottom of her dressing mirror. I also found an old magazine from 2006 of them both next to a car that she keeps in her bottom draw on her dresser.'

'would you like to meet him?'

'I would like to but I don't believe that is the problem at hand'

'I understand, but we can meet the team and we can help find your mom if you know she has gone missing.'

'okay, we'll do that then.'

Emily lead faith out to the team and introduced her to the agents.

'So guys this is faith and her mother has gone missing, her mother's name is Lila, Lila Archer.'

Some of the team including JJ and Morgan's eyes lit up in concern and also confusion.

JJ was the first to speak 'your mother, may I ask, how old are you?'

'I'm thirteen, and no, I don't have a father.'

JJ and Derek looked at each other and then looked back at Faith.

From the other side of the office Garcia and Reid emerged and walked over and both smiled at Emily and the young girl stood in front of her.

'Hey Emily, who's this?' Reid asked noticing that the face of the young girl had a resemblance of someone he thought he used to know but couldn't place.

Emily replied 'Spencer, this is Faith, Faith Archer she's 13. Her mother is Lila, you knew her quite well. She's gone missing and Faith believed we could help her out in finding her mother.'

As Emily said these words Reid looked more and more worried.

'why…why did you come here?'

'because my mother knew you and I thought it would help and I also believed it could be the perfect opportunity to try and get closer to figuring out who my father is.'

'Can I speak to you…alone Emily?' Reid finally said after a moment of him figuring out what the young girl addressed.

Reid lead him and Emily back into her office while JJ asked Faith if she wanted anything to eat or drink, sat her down and asked a couple more questions.

'What the hell Emily?!'

'what? Spencer! She came here hoping she could find someone who is possibly her father and also because her mother is missing!'

'Exactly my point Emily, if she is who I think and you probably think she is then Lila obviously kept her away from me for a reason!'

'Spencer it might not even be what it seemed but how, how could she possibly be yours?'

'It was a couple week after the reunion, when we had a few of days off. I can tell you the story of it would make sense to you?'

'if you want too.'

'okay so it was on the few days off we had…'

so this is my first chapter of my first fanfic and its a piece that i am leading off the firt season of criminal minds where Reid met Lila Archer at the highschool reunion and kissed in the pool! I understand that she is supposed to be 12 but i bumped up her age. I have a couple of ideas of how this is gonna go but im still up for suggestions. ellesse B-)
