Agent Kendersons pov

I fingered the key card. As I stood in front of my former partners cell. Slowly I unlocked and opened the door. I walked in. Seeing Emily in person was worse then the grainy image the security camera provided. "Hey Em" I spoke

Emilys brown eyes flew open. Her eyes wide with fear. When had my partner began to fear me? I wondered. "Em I'm so sorry..I wish you hadn't broken your oath." I stared at her. "Maddie." I began . My chest hurt as I watched a tear make it way to her cheek at her lost daughters name.

"Don't" she pleaded with me. Begging me to respect that I no longer held the right to utter that precious name. I know she would have said more if she had the strength.

I hesitated for a brief moment then began again."Maddie came home... she was rescued six days ago by a local police force in New York State... Two days ago she called me from Agent Hotchners phone."

Emily stared at me when I was finished speaking. The fear that had been evident for the past nine years was gone. In its place next to the hurt betryal in her eyes was joy.

"Oh Em. I don't know what I'm going to do with you." I spoke. "You broke your oath, but for all the right reasons." I told her.

Emily was like my rebellious little sister. I wanted to prevent her from being punished. At the same time though I wanted to be the good son who did whatever was asked of him.

Then to my horror the guards in charge of nutrition burst into the room. I watched as they grabbed her arm. I cringed as Emily most likely out of reflex gave her arm a feeble tug. The guard must have been in a bad mood because he yanked her off the bed. The thud I heard had me nauseous. The same guard lifted her to the wall. Her feet dangled. As his strong arms shoved her slender shoulders to the wall.

He got in her face. "Do not test me. I was bitten not ten minutes ago." He informed her. Man I winced it sucks when a prisoner bites you. "Do you think I'm in a good mood?"he asked her. When she was too weak to answer he shoved her harder into the wall.

Finally I found my voice "Stop! " I ordered. The guard stepped back letting Emily fall to the floor. Gently I pulled her forward. My gut clenched. She was trembling. "Hey. Em it's okay I have you." Her eyes remained wide in fear.

I gingerly began to rub soothing circles along the younger womans back. I stood up with her cradled to my chest and made my way to sit on her cot. Emily clung to me like a smile child. Her grip was feeble.

I knew I didn't deserve the trust she was showing me. I am fairly certain she did too, but when you trust some one with your life in the way she had trusted me, for as long as she had trusted me. That trust doesn't just turn off.

The guards were staring at me in shock. As I whispered comforting words to Emily. After awhile she stilled. Her head drooping onto my shoulder. She was asleep. I glared at the guards 'come back to her last I commanded. "They nodded and walked out of her cell.

I looked down at Emilys sleeping form. My wife had been great friends with Emily. What would she think of what I was allowing to happen?

"Mary Ann was crying last night".I told my friend. "She said she missed me... she said since you died my grief has changed me. We both know that's not the case... Em what's changed me is guilt." I laughed a bitter laugh. " I always knew you would be the cause of my first gray hair, but I never thought it would be like this." I told my too thin partner.

"Mary Ann is like you Em. She is too beautiful to cry." Emily didn't respond of course . she was sleeping. I sat there holding the closest thing to a sister I have and trying to sooth my guilty soul for a couple of hours.

When Emily woke up she feebly tried to crawl away. I could have locked my arm around her waist and kept her there. But I had already done enough wrong to Emily. So I stood up and gently lay her on the cot.

I had to go do some actual work. I also intended to break regulations for that actual work.

Before I left I kissed her forhead

I made a promise I would never break.

My green eyes stared into her dark brown eyes. As I swore my own oath.

I could only hope she believed me. Maddie needs her mom regulations be damned.

"Emily come hell or high water, despite any politics. I will make this right." Emily looked at me. Her eyes asking the question she lacked the strength to ask.'when?'

I couldn't answer that question so I ignored it. I pretended I had not noticed it.

I walked out of her cell. I pulled out my cell phone. Speaking of things I needed to make right.

"Hi, may I speak to Madlien Prentiss? " I asked.

"Only if she wants to talk to you" Agent Hotchner replied. After a moment he spoke again. "I will tell her you called. If she wishes to speak with you she will call you later."

"Thanks goodbye "I said then hung up.

I then went to contacts and selected a different name."warehouse 13 next generation" a chipper voice answered

"Claudia? " I asked.

"Your not Artie" She told me.

"No I am not. I am however agent Kenderson we met awhile back. You told me if I ever needed a hacker to call you." In actuality she had said I could always use practice. Any government computer you want to hack I'm your gal.

"Oh yeah... not insane guy, What do you need? she asked.

" I need you to make an incident report and any charges and allegations appear dropped." I told her.

"Whoah! As grateful as I am to you. Shouldn't we just let the system work it's self out? "Claudia asked.

"No my partner is in jail for life. She doesn't deserve this." I told her hoping she would let it slide.

"What's your partner accused of? "she asked.

"Intent to expose classified information.. she is not a terriost but is being treated like one." I informed her.

"K give me her name, and any and all memory in the cyber world of that charge, shall be erased." Claudia replied.

"Wait three days" I said. Emily and Maddie couldn't afford to risk this failing.

"Will do, but I need a name, and if a man named Artie calls you and I never spoke kapeesh?" Claudia asked

"Yes I understand and her name is Emily Prentiss but you will find the charge under Emma Cayherwalls."

"GTG lifes to save." She replied before hanging up.

I stared at the phone. My job took a gray moral area and treated it as if it were black and white.

POV David Rossi.

"Hey " I greeted as I walked into Erins office. She looked up in exasperation. She then to my amusement waved and motioned for me to scram. I rolled my eyes then plopped down on to her couch.

"What could you need Dave? " She asked me. I laughed this was going to be enjoyable.

"Eric sent me to ask what you thought of the girl." Did I know who the girl was? No. All I knew was the younger Strauss had asked me for a favor.

Erin sighed. "I think she seems sweet, she seemed to relate with his passion for reading." Erin glanced at me. "She has a strong family name... I can't believe I wasn't aware my agent had a daughter. "

I couldn't help it. I let out a chuckle.'" Is this girl a brunette named Maddie?" I asked. Strauss nodded.

"David it is not funny" she informed me. I looked incredulously at her. She couldn't possibly think I found humor in Maddies situation. Then another thought dawned on me. I felt my features harden

"Emily Prentiss was a good agent...a good person." I said. Strauss es features softened. She knew that Emilys death had and remains to effect the main Behavior Analysis Unit. Emilys death had hit my team hard. I'm sure each agent in my unit knows the pang of sorrow that fills the heart at the incredible girl who had become akin to my daughter.

"That may be, however the Ambassador has already washed her hands clean of Maddie. I felt anger surge through me at my thoughts of what Erins statement could mean.

"Did the Ambassador bury her case?" I asked as I prayed I was wrong. Erin nodded. "Did the Ambassador disown her daughter and grandaughter? "I asked. I was trying to figure out what was stoping Erin from jumping up and down at her joy that her son is dating a girl who holds the name of such a high in political worlds family. Erin shook her head.

"Then she holds ties to both Elizabeth Prentiss and Anthony Prentiss." I informed her." You said she is sweet and likes to read." I continued. "Therefore I will tell your son you approve. If you disagree then you can explain why to Eric." I finished and made my dramatic exit out of Strausses office.

As I walked to the cafeteria to tell Eric I passed JJ and Garcia. They were whispering to eachother. A mix of awe, fright and confusion could be identified, by a profiler, on their faces.

I know Eric will treat Maddie right. I had practically raised the boy myself. Erics parents are both politicians. The Majority of the agents who work with Strauss are unaware she has a son.

Then again most of the agents who work with Strauss dislike her. Their dislike is understandable. Erin Strauss is a politician in the FBI. It takes effort to like her. She often meddles politically with good agents she will get in the way of a case.

That is what causes agents to dislike her. What most of those agents don't see is that her intentions are good. The problem is that where an Agent sees an outstanding agent in Aoron Hotchner or Emily Prentiss. Strauss sees a political bomb just waiting to go off.

What I can understand is Erics feelings toward his mom. He loves her. It is clear he wants to make her proud, however often he is disappointed by her.

What I don't understand is how Erin can disapoint him. Can't she see what a great son he is?

As I walked into the cafeteria and Eric came in to view I decided it was time for my team to welcome Eric Strauss into our family. So who better to do it then our newest member of the family.

Hotches Pov

I was working on my paperwork. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Maddie. Maddie was sitting across from me. About every minute She would shift her weight.

I straightened out and lay my pen down. I knew what this ment Emily would often shift in her seat when she wanted to ask me a question, but did not think it was worthe interupting me to ask.

"Yes? "I asked. I was expecting a question blurted out quickly about the size of a paragraph and all in one breathe. Normally these questions were light hearted and funny. My concerns were raised when instead of a barely comprehendable cheerfull question.I heard instead was a shy timid voice asking...

This would of been completed sooner but my kindle thought it would be entertaining to delete everything.

That is probably the nicest thing in this story about Strauss.
