Lila found out about Reid's drug problem. Garcia wasn't supposed to tell her but did via the slip of the tongue. Lila told her she was concerned about him as he called her from time to time and hadn't called or e-mailed her for several weeks. She told Garcia not to leave a message. She found out by JJ that Reid had returned to work several months later. He hadn't called or e-mailed her.

It was shocking to Lila that Reid ended up having an addiction problems. She could understand the circumstances that led to it but didn't want to be involved with his problems. She'd seen too many people become addicted to both legal and illegal drugs. It was quite common in her profession. Her ex-boyfriend in college had died two weeks before they graduated. He overdosed on prescription drugs. He got angry and defensive when she brought it up. No doubt Reid would as well.

Lila liked to have a drink or two but she didn't touch drugs. She didn't even take medications of any kind. She had an very strong aversion to taking pills or medication. As a child she had taken some medication for a cold and had a severe reaction to it. She couldn't breath and ended up in an ambulance, gasping for breath most of the time. She was 5 years old but never forgot it.

Later her parents died in a car accident due to someone popping pills. Her high school boyfriend was murdered by someone high on drugs. She saw her best friend overdose on drugs several times. The last time she was found dead in her apartment. She had over 200 pills in her body and had like a mini pharmacy in her apartment.

On a few occasions she had to take them due to having a very bad sinus infection or the flu.. She couldn't swallow them and gagged on them. She ended up chewing on them and then washing them down with water.

Taking the pill had always been out of the question. She tried to but ended up having the same problem. Gagging on them and then ending up chewing on them and washing them down with water. Chewing them made her very sick. She ended up getting pregnant but then had a miscarriage. Which ended up being a very very bad period with severe stomach cramps. Up until now she had been lucky.

She hadn't gotten pregnant which was a miracle considering birth control hadn't been used in years. Her college boyfriend assumed she was on the pill. However the last year that they were together, they no longer were intimate with each other as the drugs had basically taken over her boyfriend's life. Drugs replaced her as his life. They had already broken up with each other the beginning of her senior year in college.

She was very careful not to get involved with anyone. When she met Reid, she couldn't resist him. He didn't realize that it had been almost two years since she had a boyfriend or been intimate with a man. When her ex boyfriend had died, she had buried any feelings she had inside of her, but Reid awaken those feelings. Big time.

She had tried to use the rhythm method and for about six months, it had actually worked. She tried to plan their numerous meetings around the calendar. One bad calculation was all you needed and she had guessed wrong.

The show that she'd been on had ended and so she decided to become more low-keyed. Her former best friend had killed herself in jail, so no trial. She was no longer in the spotlight, something that she was happy about.

Several years later

Lila had moved to Gasper Island in Florida. Her elderly aunt lived there and she had gone to college there. It was a small close-knit community. It had two theaters which Lila performed on a regular basis. Since Lila arrived over 5 years ago, tourism had picked up as a lot of people like to see her perform. Lila cold sing, dance and act and was multi-talented.

Emily Prentriss was visiting her mother Joan while working on a case with the team. Since Emily wasn't on the team when the FBI investigated her case, she didn't know Lila was involved with Reid. The team decided to see Lila perform. The team was about 20 minutes away working on a case. None of them had seen her since the case.

Reid had thought about her and had even thought of contacting her. He figured she'd found out about his drug problem and didn't want to continue to be involved with him. He heard her horror stories about people close to her being killed by someone on drugs or dying because of drugs. He had been clean for several years now.

Lila daughter Hannah loved to perform. She looked like a clone of her mom, although Hannah was quite tall for a 5 year old. She loved more like 7 or 8 years old.

"This is my daughter Hannah and she...

When Reid saw her, he knew that she was his daughter even though she didn't look anything like him except for being tall. After the show he and Lila were going to have a talk, a long talk as she had a lot of explaining to do. Lila could see him from the back of the audience. She couldn't tell what he was thinking but she knew, he knew.

Hannah knew also but wasn't letting on. The little genius knew who the BAU team was as well. She knew Reid was her father but didn't totally understand the situation.
