It had been almost two years since Emily left and the team was better, they spoke with her constantly.

One morning a case was delivered to them: a girl age 16 had been kidnapped in Brooklyn, New York and her aunt with who she lived with had been killed. The team quickly talk about it and since they knew that the first 24 hours were the most important they didn't waste any time and went there.

When they went to New York Hotch sent Morgan and JJ to the victim's house. There they found photos of the girl and her aunt but nothing on her parents which was odd.

As the investigation kept going the team couldn't find much about the girl's family. This was making this case extremely difficult; not even Garcia could find anything.

"There's nothing to help us solve this!" Said Derek frustrated.

"I know, we need to see this from a different angle. Dave, what do you think?" Said Hotch and then turned to see if Dave had anything to add up. Rossi was lost in thoughts and didn't react to Hotch's voice.

"Rossi, are still with us?" Said JJ a little louder. Then Rossi snapped out and looked at them.

"Sorry, what?" He asked.

"We were wondering if you had any new ideas as to how to solve this because so far we don't have anything useful" responded Morgan.

"It's just that I can't help thinking how this case, the life of the aunt and the girl is so similar to that case we had a while back with the dad and daughter that were on witness protection program" Rossi responded. Morgan thought about what Rossi just said and couldn't agree more that was the key the needed to finally start finding answers. Everything they knew about the aunt and her niece was a cover, now they just needed to find someone who knew their real life.


Emily was sitting in her office working on some paperwork when a 'ding' from her computer distracted her. Looking at the alert on her screen she couldn't believe what she saw, one of the searches she had programmed had come up with something, they finally had a lead and it was going to send her to the place she had least imagined; home.
