Author's note: As always I don't own the characters or anything about the show. I hope you enjoy this next chapter. Please Read and Review. I look forward to reading the reviews. I am going to try and updated again really soon.

The team did not move a muscle, Ashley Seaver, Spencer Reid, David Rossi, Derek Morgan, and Penelope Garcia were all in shock at who was standing in front of them. While J.J. Arron Hotchner, and Emily Prentiss all wait with baited breath to see how everyone was going to react.

Garcia was the first to speak, "Emily!" She was in shock, how could this really be Emily Prentiss? She looked all around her for support, "How is this possible? Emily it is you, isn't it? Your dead! How is this possible?"

Emily started to laugh trying to calm her nerves, "PG don't worry it is me. We're not in some soap opera, there is an easy answer. If you would stop asking so many questions I could tell you."

"Yeah there is an easy answer," Derek interrupted obviously annoyed. "We were lied to, allow to grieve and question our jobs, ourselves, and feel like we failed a each other. All for the sake of some lie no one thought they could trust us with. Is that about right?" Derek was pretty much growling by the end of his rant.

"Morgan it's not like that. If you will let us explain. We couldn't tell you. You know how witness protection program works." J.J. started to try explain.

"How can this be true. How could you do that to us? How are we suppose to trust you guys knowing you have been lying to us for a year now. We've always based our work on trusting each other." There was a sadness in Reid's voice that pained everyone.

"If you think about it, it all makes sense. It hurts but there was no other way to keep Emily safe. Doyle would've been watching us after it happened to see if she had really died, if we didn't believe it, he would have kept looking for her." Seaver had to be the rational and logical thinking one.

"It all makes sense now, why you were never as affected by Emily's Death as the rest of us." Rossi was clearly talking to Hotch. "Why you were the one to do our grief assessments. However Morgan and Reid are right. We have prided ourselves on trust and this is a violation of that trust. You could told us at some time."

"Listen it wasn't easy for us either. I understand that you are all hurt and frustrated by what we had to do, but there was no choice. It had to be kept to minimal amount of people knowing the truth. Now if you would all sit down we could explain everything, get that out of the way, so we can get back on track, and find Doyle." Hotch was in his matter of fact voice, so no one argued with him and they just sat at the table looking around.

Emily took a deep breath before she started to explain, "Doyle had been watching me, very closely. He knew and was watching all of you as well. The first time I saw him since he broke out of North Korea he was able to tell me what each of you were doing at that exact time. I knew then that I needed to end this someway, because it would be all of you that would pay if I didn't. I was the only one who knew about Deklyn, and when the Koreans' used the pictures against him he started to plan his revenge. I had no close family besides you guys so he was going to come after all of you. That is why I went to Boston that night and never told you guys. He told me you would all be killed if I let you know the truth. " Tears filled Emily's eyes but she forced herself to continue. "I told him the truth about his son in that cellar after he branded me with his clover making sure, I felt the pain he did and I would always remember him if I were to win. I didn't think that he would get away. Anyway, when I was on the way to the hospital I spoke to J.J. I told her what was going on, and I told her what I was thinking with pretending to be dead. She helped to set it all up, but at my request. Only her and Hotch were to know about it. It is the way it needed to be then and it needed to stay that way in case Doyle resurfaced. I am sorry for that," She stopped talking as she wiped the tears that had started to roll down her face and moved closer to the team hoping that they would all understand. J.J. came right up to her and placed a caring hand on her shoulder.

Garcia was the first again to respond to Emily, getting up from where she sat and walked over to Emily hugging her. "I am not going to say I fully understand or like what happened but I am glad you are back Dark Beauty."

Seaver just smiled from where she was, "I am glad to have you back Prentiss, Now I know we can catch this guy."

Emily broke away from her two best gal pals and walked right up to Reid, looking at him tentatively. "Reid you know I wouldn't have hurt you if there was another way to protect you all."

"I know, and I am glad that you are back. You know most people start off a new life once they have taken on a secret identity, rather then returning to their old life and having to explain everything that they have been through. I am glad you chose to come back to us though." Reid had to through in some odd point to help him cope with all the emotions he was feeling. But, when it came down to it, he was really happy that Emily was back, there was no question about that.

"Welcome Home Prentiss. Lets get you up to speed on the case so we can catch this Ass-hole." Coming from Rossi that was as good as if he had said 'I forgive you'. It was clear that he was not fully ok with everything but he was willing to try and start things off fresh and make Emily feel comfortable and welcomed. This situation must be hard for her.

Derek was the only one who didn't say anything his emotions and anger was still to strong. "So where do we go from here. How do we get this Bastard where he belongs. It sounds like this kid is going to be his main focus, but we can't exactly use him as a pawn." It was clear Derek Morgan was not going to get over being lied to when it came to Emily being alive, but he wasn't going to let his feelings get in the way of solving this case.

After exchanging looks with Hotch who had remained quite to this point simply observing his team, Emily filled the team in on what she knew. "Derek you are right, everything here is about Deklyn. Deklyn is the Key. However he is safe for now. He has been living in Ireland of all places up to this point. He is a teenager now, but he looks very much the same as he did when he was a child same blond hair and sparkling eyes." It was clear that Emily really did care for this boy she was once asked to become the mother of. "I saw him while I was over seas to check in on him. I had to tell him that his father was out and looking for him. Since Deklyn got out of that life style at such a young age he is very different then I think he would be if he had stayed with his father in that life style. Anyway, He insisted on coming back here to where it all started. He will be here tonight, but my job is clear, he wants to be here but He needs to stay safe and away from his father. As for Ian, he will stop at nothing to find Deklyn, as he has already shown. He already killed three people over in Russia, where he was lead to believe Deklyn was, then he decided to start back at the beginning which brought him here."

"OK team, so we know we know what he is looking for and we have his profile. Derek you go with Prentiss, J.J., and Rossi to get Deklyn and find out what you can on him. We will not use him as bait but we need to find out more about him and everything he can remember about his father. Reid, Seaver and I will go over the old Papers from the last crime scene. Garcia I need you looking into the files from innerpole and their relocations for the past seven years." Hotch Gave his instructions and everyone minus Derek went to do their assignments.

Penelope staying at the table to load her Laptop she turned to look at Derek. "Hot Stuff, what's wrong?"

"Are you really OK with this Baby Girl. I mean we were made to grieve for someone who was never dead. The assessments, the burial, and all those feelings were a joke to them." Derek was trying to make sense out of this but just couldn't and now he was suppose to go act as if the partner ship had never ended, and he was not sure he could do that.

"Baby, she explained why it happened the way it did," Derek went to interrupt but Penelope made a point to go on, "I am not saying that I am not more hurt about this now that we know the truth, but we have to try to understand why it was. This couldn't be easy for her either."

"Easy for her? I saw you day after day staring at her picture in despair. I know how the anger ate away at me all those nights and I can only imagine how many night Kevin had to hold you as you cried. How can you forgive them so easily."

Derek mentioning Kevin stung Penelope, but she knew it was not on purpose so she took a deep breath and responded. "It is not a matter of forgiving, plus what are you going to do? Stay mad her and lose her all over again? I am not losing her all over again, not because I am angry."

"Baby Girl that is not what I meant."

"Derek I know. Just as much as I know that you want to catch this asshole that caused us all to go through this pain. Just remember, everything happens for a reason." She leaned over kissed Derek on the cheek. "Now go my Hot Chocolate, Mama has got to get some work done as do you."

Derek smiled, his anger had not fully ended but as always his Goddess got him centered again. "You know Penelope Garcia, I am glad you are here. I couldn't have handled this without my God given Solace to light the way." He smirked at her before leaving to go catch up with the rest of the team.

The team had collected Deklyn and his mother, putting them in a room connected to Prentiss's as Prentiss had insisted. It was to late and the team needed to get some rest, it was sure to be a hectic few days. Garcia sat on the bed in her hotel room not being able to believe that it was just yesterday that she was out to dinner with Kevin in California. Knowing that Derek would be the only one still up at this hour. She called Derek's room, when she didn't get an answer she knew where he would be. Placing her high heals back on she made her way down to the hotel bar.

"You getting started without your favorite drinking buddy." Penelope stated coming up behind Derek her hand rubbing his shoulder.

"Sorry Baby Girl, not the best of company right now."

"I thought that is when you needed your solace the most." She tried to joke with him to encourage a smile.

Derek just looked at her like a wounded animal. "I need you as more then you know Baby Girl, but if I start to lean on you now I dont know if I would be able to stop when this case is over."

"Ahh sugar, the great thing about being best friends is that you can lean on me no matter how long you need to. All night, all day, for months if needed."

"I'll hold you to that goddess, though if it is all night I don't think it will I will be stopping with just leaning on you." A devil grin crossed his face.

Penelope just nudged him with her shoulder. "Come on handsome, lets go back up stairs and get some sleep. We have a long day ahead of us."

Derek grabbed her hand and let Penelope lead Derek back to the elevator and up to their rooms. As they reached their rooms, which happened to be right across from each other it was time for Derek to let go of Penelope's hand which he did not want to do. "Garcia, care to watch a movie? I won't be able to sleep right now, and don't really want to be alone."

"Let me get showered and into something more comfy and I will be right back." With that Penelope went into her room.

Derek entered his room, took a fast shower and then arranged the pillows in the best way for movie watching on the bed. He called room service and had them bring up up a bottle of wine and two beers. Once the drinks got to the room Derek poured a class of Pinor Noir for Garcia placing in on the night stand so it was ready when she got there. Thirty minutes from when they had parted Garcia knocked on Derek's door. She had on pink cotton Pajama bottoms with kittens on them, with a purple tank top. Derek's mouth dropped open ever so slightly when he looked at her. They may be just basic PJ's but damn she looked cute in them. He was glad he was wearing a pair of loose fitting sweats, other wise he would have trouble hiding the effects she had on him. Penelope walked into the room as soon as Derek opened the door. Smiling as she noticed the cozy set up and the wine on the night stand.

"Why Agent Morgan if I didn't know better, I would swear you were trying to seduce me tonight." She teased him grabbing her wine and taking a sip as she got comfy on the bed and waited for him to cozy up next to her.

"Goddess, when I seduce you it will be a lot more then a movie and a glass of wine. You will get the whole kitten caboodle." He smirked as he turned on the movie and snuggled into bed. He wanted to seduce her so bad but knew this was not the time. He would settle for just holding her and hoping for his nerves to calm down and forget the world.

They must have fallen asleep, because the nest thing they knew they were startled awake by a loud knocking on the door across the hall and a voice talking Loudly. "Penny, Please open the door. I know you are awake, you aren't that heavy of a sleeper. Come on Penny. I get why you had to come. I came to try to help if I could and fix things. Please Penny let me in." Penelope knew that voice. She was shocked and just looked at Derek as he into protection mode to the door to find out who it was.

"I know who that is Derek. Please let me get it. This is going to be tricky as it is."

"Why will this be tricky, there is nothing to explain. We fell asleep watching a movie. Besides, you said you gave him back his ring."

"Derek please." She was whispering as she went to the door and pushed Derek back into the room. "If he came all this way, then obviously there is something left. Now stay here, Please Hot Stuff." She opened the door and slipped out closing it silently as Kevin continued to bang on the door. She took the two steps need to reach Kevin and tapped him on the shoulder. "You better have a good reason to be out here waking up the entire floor. The team only has an hour left to sleep."

Kevin jumped and turned around. "I'm sorry Penny, I thought this was your room. I just wanted to talk. I love you, and I want you back, I don't mean right now, because you have this case and it is important to you. You are doing your job, I get that. But this isn't worth ending us. Penny I love you and I know you love me. So please lets go in side and talk."

Penelope smiled at him. "Kevin you could have called me to talk about all this."

"I could have but then it would have been harder to do this." Kevin wrapped his arms around Penelope and pulled her into a longing kiss.

"Kevin! What are you doing? I am in the middle of a case. You made me choose, and now that you don't like how I chose you come to me like this and try to wake up the entire floor. You can come in to talk. But that is it. Kevin do you understand me?" Penelope pulled away from Kevin and turn to open her door.

Derek couldn't help himself he had to know what was going on. He had watched the entire conversation through the peep hole. As he saw Kevin go into Penelope's room with a goofy geek smile on his face, Derek's heart sank. Why didn't he make a move on her last night. Derek watched as Penelope quietly shut her room door. A smile spread out on her face that he couldn't help but miss and with that his heart dropped even further.
