"Emily?" Hotch asked as he saw Emily looking at the phone with fear.
Emily just starred at the phone waiting for Garcia to continue. Everything was connecting. Either it was one big coincidence or... She knew what it also could be and fear ran all over her body. Fifteen years ago she had Matthew to help her and now he was gone. So many memories ran in her mind.
After what felt like long minutes, the silence finally ended with Garcia, in tears saying, "Ahhwww sweetie... Emily please?"
"What is it Garcia." Hotch asked roughly as he walked over to Emily who still hadn't moved.
Garcia was silent. The team was silent once again.
Emily felt like her legs were going to give out in her. She couldn't stand the silence anymore, but she was afraid about Garcia's answer.
Emily took in a deep breath and asked shakily, "Garcia... She's my...?"
The team all turned to see Emily. Hotch was standing arm's length from her, and just couldn't move. He had never seen her scared before. The worst he had ever seen her was when the death of her friend had happened. But at that moment she looked worse, tears were threatening to fall any second and her eyes held fear in them.
"Yeah... Sweetie?" Garcia answered knowing Emily couldn't finish the question yet.
Emily at that moment her legs gave out on her.
Hotch noticed just in time. He grabbed Emily before she hit the ground.
"Emily!" Hotch screamed
"What happened? Emily...? Someone say something?" Garcia said in tears
"It's okay, baby girl Hotch's got her!" Morgan said
"What? Why? Emily…?" Garcia said and no one answered because still no one knew anything
Emily hadn't even noticed that her legs had given out on her. She felt Hotch's arms around her, and heard him yelling.
JJ walked in with her phone in her hand and said, "They found Chloe's cell phone next to some footprints... Emily!"
Rossi knew exactly what Emily and Garcia were both crying about. Emily had told her about her daughter on the case, were her friend was killed.
Rossi turned and saw Emily crying on Hotch's shoulder. He was rubbing his hand on her back trying to calm her down. He knew that right now they had to focus on getting Chloe and Damian back safely. He couldn't even think what would happen if they were too late.
"Hotch you and Reid go check it out. Morgan the other kids should be here go interview them. JJ make sure that the press, don't get a hold of the names of the kids. Garcia focus... Cross-reference everything you can; teachers, couches, nurses, janitors anything that has access to kids." Rossi ordered. He walked up to Emily and Hotch, and nodded for Hotch to go. He quickly grabbed Emily and as if she didn't notice she silently cried on his shoulder, while Hotch couldn't leave.
"Go, on Hotch. We need to find these kids... Fast!" Rossi told them all
As much as Hotch wanted to know why she was crying, he knew that he had to focus. JJ walked out making calls. Reid left to the Parking lot to wait for Hotch. Morgan went outside to look for the kids.
The last people in the conference room were Emily and Rossi. He sat Emily down and he kneeled down in front of her.
"She's my...Dau..." Emily cried softly
"I know. Hey we'll find her and then you'll see for yourself how beautiful she is. Heck look, she has a boyfriend that we know for a fact adores her. Emily...?" Dave said whipping the tears from her eyes, "I know you would want Hotch to be the one here for you but, he has to bring her back safely ok?"
Emily took a deep breath and whipped her tears. She then stood up and fixed her jacket and hair then said confidently, "I shouldn't have done that. Right now, you're right we need to focus on getting this bastard and bringing... Them back safely." Emily said not trusting herself to say either name.
"Ok, then what do you say we go help Morgan interview the kids?" asked Rossi
Emily nodded and went to the main room. Emily saw Mr. Sinclair sitting in a chair with his face in his hands. Beside him was the little boy in a deep sleep. Emily couldn't take her eyes off of him but as soon as he made a movement she quickly turned around.
On the other side of the room was Sam. She was pacing around the room.
"Hey, why don't you talk to her and I'll go help Morgan?" asked Rossi
"Yeah, go ahead." Emily reassured him
Rossi nodded and went into one of the interrogation room with Morgan.
"Have you gone in yet?" asked Rossi as Morgan starred at the boy in the conference room
"No, not yet. How's Em?" asked Morgan
"Let's focus on this." Rossi said turning to see Edgar sitting in the chair with his head in his hands on the table.
Morgan and Rossi went into the interrogation room. Edgar looked up.
"Edgar Partridge, we need to know exactly what happened before they disappeared." Morgan said
"Damian was late to practice so he had to stay after everybody to run laps. I had to go, and I was still going to drop Sam off so we left... Chloe was worried about us walking alone. She said we should've walked together. We didn't listen." Edgar said flustered
"It's not your fault. Why was he late to practice?" asked Rossi
"We were IMing each other in class, he got caught so the teacher took his phone." Edgar said shaking his head
"Ok, one more thing, your girlfriend?" asked Morgan
"What about her?" asked Edgar
"You walked her home, why?" asked Morgan
"Because I love her... I didn't want her to walk alone." Edgar said
"Ok, you can go now kid." Rossi said opening the door
Edgar walked out and took a seat. Morgan and Rossi both walked silently to the other interrogation and saw that Emily was still just watching Sam react.
"You haven't gone in?" asked Rossi
"No." Emily answered
"Let's go in Em. I'll go with you." Morgan said
Emily nodded and walked in. Sam was pacing the interrogation room; she looked up and saw both Agents so took a seat.
Emily couldn't stop thinking about Chloe. What if they didn't get to her in time? She would have failed her daughter in the only way she could help. When she Sam all she thought was that she knew her daughter better than she did. Better than she ever might.
"Samantha, we have a few questions for you." Morgan said noticing that Emily wasn't going to say anything
"Anything!" Sam quickly answered
"Ok, do you and Chloe have a good relationship?" asked Morgan
"Yes, she's my best friend since she was four and I was five." she answered with a sad smile
"You're older?" asked Morgan
"Yeah by a few months." Sam said wiping a tear that fell
"What about Damian?" asked Morgan
"He's a nice guy. He really cares about her. I wouldn't say his, the cutest guy. She has really bad taste in guys, after all she thought Ho... Never mind." She said blushing lightly against her darker skin
"Who? Hotch?" Morgan asked with a genuine smile
"Ummhhh yeah." she said turning redder
Morgan laughed, she had hit on him but it looked like any you g girl just playing around.
Emily couldn't help but smile at that her daughter had thought her boyfriend was cute. That was adorable to Emily. But as soon as she thought about that, the pain hit her again and all she wanted to do was hold her and make sure she was safe. After all she had always loved her daughter; she just had to make sure she had a good life with someone else, somewhere else.
"So I'm guessing his not your type?" asked Morgan with a chuckle, trying to calm her embarrassment.
"No! Eww I mean...?" she said looking down at her hands
Morgan chuckled again and tried to lighten the mood again saying, "So who is your type?"
"You... I mean... I... I... I'm sorry!" her eyes widened after she said 'you'
Morgan laughed and then said, "Ok, I think you can go now."
Sam turned to see him then literally ran out.
"Hey, see, when we get Chloe back you're going to have some competition." Morgan said as he saw Emily's glassy eyes. He still didn't know and wanted to know but he also understood that Hotch was going to be the most helpful.
"Hey, so are you up to tell me what Garcia found. What does Chloe have to do with you?" Morgan asked wiping her tears
"She's my daughter." Emily said quietly
