Everything Is Alright… Not!

Spencer Reid had finally gotten his eyes to remain shut when the sound of his cell phone ringing throughout his apartment spooked him out of his sleep. As he finally reached it, he flipped it open and saw that it was Rossi, so he pressed answer and placed the phone against his hear.

"Reid"

"Kid… you have to get to… get yourself to DCPD right away… something happened at Emily's apartment"

"What… Dave… is she okay?"

"Just… get your self here" he then hung up, which got Reid even more worried and guilty about how he and Emily left things only… not even three hours ago! He got dressed, grabbed his coat, keys and was off to the DCPD.

After parking his car and making his way to the entrance of the police station, he saw JJ. He immediately walked up to her, but stopped when he saw the looked of pure anxiety on her face.

"Dave called you as well?" he asked her.

"No, Hotch did. I was working late tonight at the Pentagon, when Hotch called and told me to get here ASAP. As soon as he mentioned DCPD and Emily I dropped my work and came here"

As both of them entered, they saw an impatient Morgan and an extremely worried Penelope Garcia waiting in the small briefing room of the PD. As they both walked in, Hotch came in a minute later with Rossi by his side and told everyone to take a seat.

"Hotch man what's going on? What happened to Emily, is she okay?" Morgan asked immediately after seeing his superior entering the room.

"About an hour and a half ago, the Fire department responded to a fire incident that started in apartment 4D…"

"Any casualties?" Reid asked.

"One… they've just identified the body, the damage to the teeth were too severe but they got a 97% match of the body" Rossi said, "The body was identified as Emily Eleanor Prentiss" he said in a sorrowful tone.

"No… It's a mistake! She' can't be gone!" Garcia said, while letting the tears come down her face, JJ held her friend close to her while she also shed tears, "it has to be a mistake"

"It wasn't" Hotch answered, "4D is Emily's apartment number correct?" when they nodded he continued, "the body was found in that apartment and coroner and forensics concluded that skeletal remains match Emily" this caused Morgan to slam his fist against the nearest wall, before letting some tears sliding down his face.

"It's a mistake… it has to be, she came by my place not even five hours ago… she can't be…" Reid laid his head, into his hands, realizing that his last thoughts of Emily were wishing that he would have never known her.

After they were dismissed, Reid stormed out even before anyone could call out his name or even stop him. He got into his car and drove to Emily's place. After her got out of his car, he took the stairs and arrived on the right floor and eventually made it to the right damaged door, before walking into the burnt apartment.

After seeing everything for about ten minutes, he leaned against the good part of a wall and was now sitting on the floor, where he was now crying.

"I'm sorry Emily… I should have known you were playing me when you said those words…"

"Kid…" that was Morgan's voice.

"…" he didn't respond but he did look up at the older agent.

"Come on… being here isn't going to being her back"

"I knew something was bothering her but she wouldn't talk… but…"

"But what?"

"We slept together… then when I started questioning her she shut me out and I wished that I had never knew her… and now she's gone"

"Kid, Emily was a very private person, even getting her to confess feeling was like trying to bet a pissed of Tiger. Maybe she knew it wasn't avoidable so she decided to spend her last hours being with someone she had feelings for"

"Why me?"

"Kid believe it or not but they don't make 'em better than you and Emily saw that. Heck we had a betting pool going on to see when one of you would confess… but now we have a murder to solve… and you know since you confessed to have last seen Emily, you're going to have to tell the rest of us what happened"

"I loved her… I know I did"

"Then keep saying that Reid… she was like a sister to me especially to Garcia and JJ… Rossi lost his favorite drinking buddy and Emily was pretty much the only person to get Hotch to talk about things… we're all going to miss her but by being there for each other through this… we'll be fine"

Four days had now passed and Emily had now finally arrived at her new home… a new start, but it was one she didn't want to do. The fact that right now the only people that she considered family were grieving and suffering because of one case from her past, that had to come back and kick her ass.

Thomas had left a package inside the house, where when she opened it revealed all of her new ID, bank cards, credit cards, insurance, drivers licensed and other things that she would need. There also was a letter that she read to herself.

Dear Emily Prentiss,

I would have stayed and explain everything to you but Doyle had just got another of our agents. Francis Hollis. So for now here is the information you need to know. Your new name is Heather Bones, you work at the Smith College in the city of Northampton, Massachusetts, the current place where you shall remain until Doyle is either killed or apprehended. Your vehicle is a Silver 2011 Chevrolet Camaro, enjoy it.

p.s. I am dearly sorry for the position we had to put you in, but we won't rest until he is caught or killed.

Thomas

She then burnt the letter, grabbed her things that she put in her new purse and soon looked around the house and found her new bedroom where she changed into her pajamas and then slowly fell asleep.

CM~CM~CM~CM~CM~

After three and a half weeks of starting her new life, Heather had called in sick from work; due to the fact that she couldn't keep anything down her stomach and felt light headed half of the time. What she was relieved for was the fact that the drug store was just across the street and since she had been feeling like this for almost a week she decided to go and by something to confirm or to deny something that wasn't true.

"Hey Heather" James waved at her.

"Hey, um… I'll just pay for this" she showed him the item and he kept it to himself.

"Got a little wild did ya?"

"Before I moved here… someone that meant a lot to me… he's gone now"

"Well you just call Sally if you need anything… that ain't my area of expertise" he chuckled as he handed her the change and disguised the box for her.

"Thanks James" she smiled at him, before walking out.

After peeing on the white stick, the instruction said to wait for four to five minutes before the results would be ready. So in the mean time, she turned on the news and there was Penelope Garcia delivering information on the team's latest case… that when she saw him, Spencer Reid. God, he looked like hell, in pain almost. She hoped it wasn't because of her that he was suffering.

Just as she started to be more in thoughts, she heard the timer going off and she slowly walked back into the washroom. She took in a deep breathe, let out a shuddering sigh out before the tears started to welled up in her eyes, making her vision blurry.

That damn little sign was all it took for her to almost break down.
