Julia sat in her car in the FBI garage, Charlie and dad would be okay with it, but Don would have a fit. He'd always been the most over protective of her. Charlie would be mad at her, after all they were twins, she didn't share her secret with him. Like her twin she was also a genius, she had an idyllic memory, she choose to experience highschool to the fullest, and graduated when she was eighteen.

She entered the FBI academy when she was twenty-two, she graduated the top of the class. She had kept it hidden from Don all these years. It was no easy feat to do, she had to lie to her family all these years. She had worked under cover, working out of Quantico. There were several times she had to be quick to avoid coming in contact with Don. Now things were about to get real, she had transferred to the LA office, she had moved back home. Time to go in and face the music and her big brother.

She entered the building and went through security, she entered the elevator and rode it up to the eighth floor. The doors opened and she walked out into the bullpen, she looked around and didn't see him. She walked up to an agent standing at his desk.

"Can I help you?"

"I'm looking for Don Eppes."

"He has stepped out. I'm Agent Granger, can I help you."

"No, I really need to see Don. I'm Julia."

The elevator door opened and she turned around. Her two big brothers walked into the bullpen area, she just stood there and waited to be noticed. Don and Charlie were in deep conversation, bumping into her as they passed by.

"Excuse me." Charlie and Don started to walk past her.

"Come on boys, I haven't changed that much!" They both stopped and turned towards her, they both broke into smiles. She hugged them both and laughed.

"What are you doing here Juls?" Don asked.

"I accepted a job here in LA."

"At which University?" Charlie asked.

"About that..."

The director of the LA office walked up to Julia. "Good to see you again Agent Eppes. Don I guess I don't need to introduce you to your new team member." She closed her eyes. Not exactly the way she wanted to tell her brothers but it would work. The director walked off to his office leaving Julia to handle her brothers.

She decided to ignore both her brothers for a minute and walked up to Agent Granger. "Hi, I'm Agent Julia Eppes, nice to meet you."

"I'm Cody, are you?"

"Yes, I'm their little sister,"

Don had regained his composure and grabbed her by the arm, dragging her into an interrogation room, Charlie came with them. "What the hell is going on Juls?"

"I've been an Agent for eight years. Working undercover."

"Does dad know?"

"I've lied for the last eight years! I had to for my job."

They sat staring at each other. "I couldn't tell anyone, not even you Charlie. I'm sorry. I decided it was time for a change of pace and wanted to come home. I accepted a position here in the LA office."

"Absolutely not!" Don hit the table.

"Why? You can't come up with a reason! Except I'm your sister. Guess what, you have no say."

"I can have you removed from this team!"

"Go ahead Agent Eppes, I can go anywhere I want, any team!" She got up and started to walk out of the interrogation room. "Just because you remove me from your team, doesn't mean someone else won't grab me up!"

She walked out of the room and back into the bullpen, she ran into Cody.

"Problems he asked?"

"Just big brother problems!"

"Who's your friend Granger?"

"This is Agent Julia Eppes. Julia this is Agent David Sinclair."

She shook his hand. "Nice to meet you."

"Eppes?"

"Yes, I'm Don and Charlie's little sister."

"And you're an Agent?"

"Yes, apparently my big brothers aren't too thrilled." She felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked up and Charlie was standing beside her.

"Come on Juls, give us some time to get use to it. Don will come around."

"I hope so."

"How are you going to break it to dad?"

"Show him my badge?"

Don watched Juls from the window in the interrogation room, his whole life he tried to keep her safe. Now she was running to danger, part of him was proud of her, the other part was mad as hell. How had he missed her going through the FBI Academy? He walked out into the bullpen and listened to her talk to the rest of the team.

"Why did you choose the FBI?"

"I wanted to follow in my brothers foot steps. Both my big brothers have been my heroes, especially Don. He always was my protector, growing up. Being an Agent allows me to protect others."

Don stopped when he heard her, he was defiantly proud of his little sister. He just wish she hadn't of hidden it all these years.
