[Prelude: What Has Been Lost]
... ... ... ... ...
Mason Cooley once said: "Looking backward at what has been lost, I feel sad, then indifferent, and at last relieved."
.
I was once quite upset when I left the Joint Task Force, Number Twelve. Then, I realised I had to leave the CIA as well. No amount of compartmentalizing made me feel better about those thoughts. Then, I had also felt indifferent about my choices: that mainly arrived when I was sitting in a normal house with a horrible amount of free time on my hands. Then I felt relieved. I became part of a team that was situated within the FBI. Despite taking time to accept me (I had no illusions that it would start a different way,) my new team became a family like I never had before.
Then, when I finally had something in my life I could happily live with, it all fell apart.
Everything came back in a whirl of emotions when Sean McAlister, the Interpol superior who brought our task force into working the case that challenged me the most, informed me that Ian Doyle escaped. The constant turmoil and the downward spiral that brought my life to an end, or so the people I cared about the most thought, had to end.
Now, looking on what I had recently lost, I know I'll never feel indifferent or relieved: I just know I must fight to try and get it back.

[Author's Note] : READ. (at least the first part of it)
It'll be quick, this time (:
I just want you to know that none of this is going to be in first person. I hate first person stories, but I found that this prequel sounded better then how it was in third person.
Also, further into the story, there may be lingo you don't understand… I'll try and remember and post the definitions at the bottom of the page under the A/N (:
(Now you can stop reading if you don't want to know where the story is going :P)
I basically have it planned out – but I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. I have the first three (actual) chapters finished; however, I'm going to Punta Cana for a week, tomorrow, and I don't want to suddenly put everything on without knowing how the rest is going to write.
The three chapters I have written already all deal with Emily's past. Minor bit of CIA past (ch.1), Flashbacks to childhood (ch.2), and then her meeting the JTF-12 (ch.3). I have one more chapter to write (that's planned) about her past with the JTF, and that's only going to be about getting the Doyle case.
After that, prepare for a major jump in time as it goes to Emily in the hospital (maybe, I think, but don't quote me on that.) Then, another jump in time by a few months (I'm not writing her recovery) and it'll be her joining back up with the CIA to work on finding Doyle.
[That last part is what I'm not sure about… I don't know how it's going to come out.]
However, try and stick with me here (:
ALSO, just so you know, I've done a lot of research for this. I don't know how many times I re-watched 6x17 & 6x18, as well as the various parts in other episodes regarding Doyle. You should see some of the screenshots I have such as the uncovered Lauren Reynolds file JJ shows the team. It may be blurry, but I made it all out :P
I also researched CIA, SIS, DCRI, and BND things as well as the CTIC (which is brought up in the next chapter) – It's all real! :o
The one thing is: I speak NO other language then English. So I used google translator. I put the English words after anything in a different language (damn Emily for knowing all those languages :/)
ANYWAYS, please review, and I hope you enjoy (:
