"Don't start your crying it will be alright just take my hand

And hold it tight" ~Phil Collins


Spencer was angry when he got off the phone with his Unit Chief. "Guys, Lizzie's apartment was ransacked again with pictures of us in it. According to Hotch even some of Blake."

Alex Blake was a little older than JJ and Emily tall and skinny. She was shocked that she was in the pictures. "I haven't even met Lizzie." She said.

"This person is targeting the team you're part of the team now." David said, more concerned than he was leading on. This was the second attack in a week's time period on his daughter. It was bad that he had lost a son when he was born and now that he got a chance to be there for the daughter that was hidden from him all these years was being targeted by the creeps that he vowed to capture and he was frustrated.

The team also felt the same about the new member of their family but the guilt overwhelmed them. Lizzie was right and they thought that it was just from the events that happened earlier that week. They had to make it up to her but first they needed to catch this guy. Without a word the team piled into the SUV's and headed to Elizabeth's apartment.

As the team walked in and the atmosphere became grotesque and their hearts sank as they saw the youngest of the team was nowhere to be found but I saw the door to the bathroom closed. Emily saw Hotch at the door and walked over to him. "She in there?" Emily asked knowing the answer.

Aaron only nodded and grabbed her hand; "This is my fault she locked herself in there after I called Reid. She was crying on my shoulder and when I said Spencer was coming she pushed me away and locked herself in the bathroom."

"Aaron this isn't your fault she just is blowing off steam she's hurt that we didn't trust her judgment and I don't blame her. We are all about trust on this team and she was the only one that we didn't trust and then some one invaded her home for the second time in a week that's hard enough. If anyone is to blame its all of us. Come on maybe I can get her to open up." Aaron nodded and kissed her on the cheek.

"I love you did you know that?" He asked.

"I love you too, Boss." Emily playfully smiled and watched Hotch go back to the team as she knocked on the door.

"Lizzie. It's Emily please open up we are here to help I'm sorry we hurt you I know what it's like to feel helpless and like no one trusts you please let me in." Despite her efforts she got no response. "Lizzie?" still no response. "Are you okay?" Still nothing. Emily growing concern, "If you can hear me knock twice." Not even one knock. "Guys!" Emily yelled.

"What's wrong?" Spencer asked anxious.

"She's not answering I asked her to knock twice if she could hear me and I didn't get anything."

Morgan frustrated, "I'm not playing games, Lizzie!" He yelled as he kicked the door open to find no Lizzie but instead three envelopes. One addressed to Spencer, one to David and the other one to the team. Confused Morgan looked around the bathroom to find the window open he stuck his head out and noticed the fire escape he muttered something and walked back in. "She ran."

Spencer picked up the envelope with his name on it, "Why would she do that?"

"Whatever, is in these letters, will maybe give us a hint as to where she went." Rossi said picking up both his and the teams giving the team one to Hotch.

"Why would she leave?" Spencer just asked again staring at the envelope not quite ready to open it.


Elizabeth walked down the street, as far from that apartment as possible it had been an hour that Hotch was trying to get her out of the bathroom. Or at least that's what it felt like to her. She had snuck in paper and pen and wrote three letters, one for her father, the other for Spencer and the last one to the team. She needed space and this was the only way she could.

"Elizabeth Rossi," A sinister voice trailed behind her. Her instincts told her to run but her curiosity got the better of her she turned around to find a man she never recognized before.

"Can I help you?" She asked trying to be brave but she was shaking on the inside.

He held out a crow bar and knowing his next move Elizabeth blocked his hit and threw the crowbar and ran as far as she could from the man. When she turned to see if she was still followed and she felt a hand around her neck, "I must admit Agent you're smarter than you appear. I'm giving you and your team a head start if you will, I will set you free but in a 24 hour period that gives me time to rough you up a bit as a message to watch your backs.

"I think I can put up a good fight against you, you won't be able to touch me." She said with a smirk, he gripping her wrist countered her taking a swing at him.

"You made that easy I'm offended." He took out a needle and stabbed it through her arm and injected the serum into her arm. Within seconds her vision was hazy and she fell over feeling the hands around her waist and under her knees she closed her heavy eyelids and dreamed she was in Spencer's arms.


Spencer sat in Elizabeth's bedroom with the door closed, the team had given him and Rossi time to read their letters and Hotch would read the team letter when they returned.

His hands shaking he opened the envelope:

Dear Spence,

I'm so sorry I left you and the team. I need my space and you guys hovering over me, isn't helping. I'm going to be frank with you because I trust you. I'm infuriated with the team for obvious reasons they didn't trust me and that hurt…You didn't believe me and that almost broke my heart, you were nice enough to let me stay with you but you thought the same thing they did that it was from trauma and that this anxiety would blow over. My instincts have kept me alive for this long. Spencer I really like you a lot and I want to get to know you and go on multiple dates with you but I need a few days I'll call if I can. And I want to leave you with this because I know you have the CD. "Look what you have done, you're my favorite song always on the tip of my tongue" Spencer this letter isn't a goodbye forever and I'm sorry if I hurt you in anyway it wasn't my intention. Please don't hate me.

With Love always, Lizzie.

He closed the letter and a tear fell down his cheek, "You can sink to the bottom of the sea, just don't go without me," He recited the lyrics of one of his new favorites songs. He wiped the tear and went out to meet the others being embraced by JJ and he sobbed in her shoulder, her leaving even for a few days has left a little crack in his heart and little did Lizzie and the Team know how bad he wanted to start using again.


Rossi had no hesitation in reading his letter:

Dad,

I know that you are probably not happy with the decision I have made. Know that this isn't a permanent thing; I need space I hope you of all people will understand. I'm hurt that everyone didn't believe me especially because almost always are my hunches right. I hate leaving you after only knowing you a week but I'm coming back in a few days it's just when I signed up for this job I didn't expect to kill a criminal who was out to get me which was my ex only to have another psycho raid my apartment not more than a week later. I'm not quitting my job either but maybe Hotch is right I need to breathe and take it easy lay low. Dad I may have known you for a little while but I feel like you have raised me yourself and I'm glad that I met you and that you and I got a chance to have a relationship. I love you so much and I will see you when I get home Bye.

Your daughter, Lizzie

Rossi sighed and rubbed his face, a few days that could be a month for all he knows and she could be in danger especially with this guy on the loose. He balled the paper and threw it in the garbage he was angry with him and his daughter she was being selfish and left when we needed her the most. He got up and went back to the group and saw Spencer sitting on the couch with his head down Emily trying to soothe him.

"Nothing that could lead us to where she is at." Rossi answered the unspoken question.

Hotch sighed frustrated and open the letter:

Dear Team,

I'm sorry for alarming you but I needed space. I can't help but feel that you guys don't trust me and maybe I'm going overboard with it but I was hoping my hunches about the stalking was wrong and imagine my surprise when it wasn't and that made it hurt more. I don't know what it is that make people not want to believe me or trust me but it's happened more than once and I thought you of all people would understand. To answer some questions Yes I will be back when I'm not sure a few days at the most, I'm sure Agent Blake will be the best asset you ever had. To answer another question no I am not quitting but Hotch was right when he said I needed a break I jumped into the field too quickly after the incident and my nightmares are returning and they are also coming true and the recent one I've been having I really don't want to come true. I have known all of you a week and my love for all of you grows and grows with each second that goes by. I'll see you when I return if you guys will still have me.

Love Lizzie.

"For and FBI agent this is real careless of her, she runs away when there is someone trying to attack all of us." Morgan said his arms crossed.

"Do you think that she was thinking clearly her emotions are all over the place and a lot has happened in a short amount of time she was thinking of the best way to get her emotions in check." Penelope said tears in her eyes. Morgan hugged his baby girl and tried to subdue her crying.

"Penelope is right my thoughts weren't clear when I went to confront Foyet, I just went of emotion, adrenaline and instinct."

Spencer's phone rang and he looked to see Lizzie calling, immediately answering and putting the phone on speaker, "Lizzie, where are you is everything all right?"

"I'm sorry kid, Lizzie is a little tied up at the moment." The man laughed at his little play on words looking over at a passed out tied up Elizabeth her mouth covered with tape so when she woke up no one would here her scream.

"Where is she you son of a bitch?" Reid and Rossi said simultaneously.

"She'll be with you in the next 24 hours you have my word."

"If you lay a finger on her-"Emily started to threaten but she was cut off.

"You'll what? In order to threaten me you have to come find me to follow through. She will be back in your possession alive don't fret she is in good hands. Bye bye" The line went dead and everyone in the room suddenly got chills.
