Hi! Here is the new chapter, thanks a lot to those who reviewed it's always nice to read! I'm sorry for the time it took to update; really, I have currently a lot of work.

Enjoy!

An Old Wound

It was so strange to hear her voice again; he hadn't spoken to her in two years…

"Spencer Reid? God it's been a while!"

She sounded happy but it wouldn't last, he knew it.

"Yes, I am glad to hear from you, I should have called sooner."

"No it's alright; I mean I should have called too. I saw you have been accepted in the FBI, I was busy but I should have called. What's up, you sounds upset?"

"Well, someone sent me something this morning, a human head."

"What?"

He heard the stupor and the horror and felt sad for her, one second ago she just sounded genuinely happy to hear him.

"You hear well…It's Marc Potter's one, you remember him?"

"I do, are you alright?"

"I am. But the strangest thing is…With the head, there was something else: Gary's notebook."

"Gary…"

He didn't need to see her to know she was completely baffled at this. None of them had heard about Gary Michaels, their childhood friend, since years. He had disappeared when he was eleven and was never found. It was an old wound which wasn't as vivid as it was years ago, but it was still here.

"Who did this, Spencer?" Asked she

"I don't know. Maybe you should call Jordan to be sure she is okay."

"I will. I'll also ask my superiors to let me investigate; I guess your team took the case?"

"We did."

"Alright, I'll call you back."

The conversation was over. A man entered the bathroom and looked at Reid weirdly, he probably knew about the head. The young man exited the bathroom and joined his team. He hoped Emily would be allowed to join them, she had worked for Interpol before and now she was an FBI agent like him. He also wondered how Jordan would cope with it. Jordan was Emily's adoptive sister, her parents died when she was four and the Prentiss family adopted her. Spencer knew it was to guarantee them with a good reputation because though she was provided with everything she needed, Emily's parents never took a lot of interest in her, and in fact they weren't even very interested in their own daughter. The two sisters were very close however, Reid remembered it very well.

Flashback

Reid was playing with Gary at the border of the forest, the two were alone as usual. Gary was telling Spencer a horror tale when he saw a truck parking before a big beautiful house. It was a little town and the kids knew perfectly that this house was unoccupied; maybe it had been sold at last.

"Who decided to move in here?" Asked Spencer

"I don't know but obviously they don't know about the ghosts…"

The two kids truly believed this house was haunted, though it was huge and beautiful it always gave them goose bumps. Men exited the truck and began to empty it, a car parked and two old people exited it, followed by two little girls. One was quite pale with jet black hair and the other was bi-racial with short hair. They were both pretty and Spencer decided to approach. He was scared because usually other kids than Gary bullied him, but those girls were new, maybe they were different.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Spencer didn't listen to Gary's protest so his friend just followed him. The old couple was talking with the men and the little girl stayed near the car. The boys approached shyly.

"Hi…My name is Spencer and this is Gary."

"I am Jordan, and this is my sister Emily."

"Your sister? But you aren't of the same colour," said Gary.

"Jordan is my adoptive sister," explained Emily, "but it's as if we were blood sisters."

They smiled to each others.

"Hum...Where do you come from?"

"Boston but our parents have a lot of work, they are always moving," said Emily, "so they sent us to live with our grand-parents."

"Okay…Do you want to play with us?"

They were going to accept when their grandparents called them. Obviously they wanted the girls to help.

"We will play once grandma and grandpa won't need us anymore," said Jordan, "come back later."

The girls followed the couple home and the boys went away. Those two seemed nice and both Gary and Michael felt like they were about make new friends.

The four kids became inseparable but everything changed when Gary mysteriously disappeared. He looked at his team, Hotch was discussing with Strauss. Reid didn't know her a lot but he had heard rumours and none of them were good. However, he knew rumours could be unfair. The woman sighted him.

"Agent Reid, your superior told me you know the victim."

"I do Ma'am, his name is Marc Potter and the last time I saw him he was a farmer in Bangor, my native town."

"Alright. I consider it as an affront toward the bureau, I want regular reports."

"You'll have it," said Gideon.

She left with that, Gideon turned toward his protégé and saw how pale he still was.

"The head has been sent to the lab, along with the notebook, they'll give it back as soon as possible to let us investigate, Reid do you…"

"There is…are two more people concerned about this. Their names are Emily Prentiss and Jordan Todd. Emily is an FBI agent, I called her and she wish to be assigned to the investigation."

"Let's go to the conference room, you'll explain everything here. JJ, before you join us call the police, they have to help us to find the delivery man."

Meanwhile, Emily Prentiss was calling her sister. They both lived in New York now and saw each other quite often. Jordan was a doctor and Emily knew she was working right now but it was too important. She felt sick. It was all so sudden, morbid and nightmarish! Reid received a human head along with Gary's notebook! Gary...She went in Law enforcement because she wanted to be able to know what happened to him and she knew Spencer did for the same reason. Her sister answered the phone.

"Hi Emily!"

"Hi Jordan, sorry to bother you but it's very important."

"What's wrong?"

Emily gulped. God, her sister was more sensitive than Reid and her, how would she handle the news? Emily explained everything slowly and carefully; Jordan remained silent for a few seconds.

"He…He received a human head!?"

"Yes and it has something to do with Gary."

"Oh God, it's…"

She suddenly stopped to talk.

"Jordan?"

"Emily…"

"What's wrong?"

"There is a delivery man with a parcel for me…"

Emily froze.
