Chapter three part thirteen
If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it? Dogen
It was almost an out of body experience. He had to use the table to push himself up and out of the chair to stand. This is a dream...I'm dreaming this. Spencer looked at Emily and she quickly wiped her eyes. Emily gave him one of the saddest smiles he had ever seen.
"I missed you all so much," she said and she went over to Spencer and hugged him hard. He hugged her back and he hugged her just as hard and it like that moment when they escaped Cyrus and the compound explosion, the relief of just still being alive. This isn't a dream...oh my god...she's alive. Spencer had to blink back tears and he couldn't seem to find any words or thoughts to describe how he felt in this moment. Emily broke the hug and she looked at all of them.
"I am so sorry...I really am and not a day went by that I didn't want too.." Morgan looked like he was going to fall over from the shock of seeing her there. He was one of the last people with Emily before they took her away and told us she was dead. He thought he watched her die. Emily blinked back tears again. "Really...I...you didn't deserve that and I am so sorry." She hugged Morgan and he put one arm around her, he was still in shock and Spencer was waiting for him to fall over from it. She's alive...oh my god...all these months...
"There is so much I want to tell you guys and I will. I promise, but right now I really need to know what is going on with Declan!" Emily sounded frantic and it snapped Spencer back to the present. He would deal with all these conflicting thoughts in his head later, right now a child needed to be saved. One that she had risked her life for twice.
"Emily was there a man living at the house?" asked Spencer. It's weird to say her name and have her be in the room looking right at you isn't it?
"Yes, my friend Tom Colelar he was raising Declan as his own," explained Emily.
"Where is he?" asked JJ.
"I never saw him coming or going," said Garcia wondering if she had missed something.
"He was on assignment overseas."
"But he's ok?" asked JJ.
"Yes and he's on his way back. He got a call from Declan and than he called me," explained Emily. Why the hell did he get to know she was alive and we had to suffer all these months, thought Spencer and he quickly shoved it to the back of his mind.
"When I landed Hotch called me and told me you had Doyle in custody."
"That's why you enrolled Declan in a boarding school," said Hotch.
"I made sure that only myself, Tom or Louise were the only ones allowed to take him off campus!"
"Louise picked him up from school early because he was sick," said Spencer.
"It was food poisoning," said Hotch.
"Yeah a few of the kids had it," said Spencer. He had gone over who and come and gone at the school looking for someone out of place and couldn't find anyone. "Whoever did this got to him on campus, they knew they only had one chance."
"Our current suspect is Richard Geriace," said JJ. She looked you in the eye and told you Emily was dead...she knew the truth and she watched you suffer. It was another thought that Spencer forced into the back of his mind to deal with later.
"We know it's him because of the scar on his neck in the camera footage," explained Garcia and Emily shook her head.
"That doesn't make any sense, Geriace gave up on Doyle a long time ago."
"We think Geriace and his partner posed as the next shift and one of the agents was a woman," said Spencer.
"Than she's our Alpha," said Emily.
"So were looking for a woman who wants to get back at Doyle," said JJ.
"And our suspect list just got longer...Doyle had a thing for bad girls and there are a lot of pissed off people on his list with rap sheets that go on for days," said Emily.
"We could pull them up and sort them out...anyone from twelve to thirteen years ago narrows it down," said Garcia.
"You, Emily and JJ start working on that list," said Hotch. The three women left the room.
"I'll start going back over the footage," said Spencer. He needed to do something or else his head might explode from everything going though it at the this moment.
"I'll help you," said Rossi.
"Morgan?" asked Hotch. Morgan shook his head.
"I just...I need a minute," he said and he walked out of the room. Hotch shook his head.
"I need to talk to Strauss about this new lead," said Hotch and he left the room also. Spencer sat down and started looking through the video again.
"Reid?" asked Rossi.
"I just need to focus on this right now...please," said Spencer looking at the table. Rossi sat down next to him.
"Ok." A few minutes Emily and JJ came back into the room and queued up the photos Garcia had found. Morgan came in behind them not saying a word with Hotch.
"All these women had ties with Doyle and may have crossed paths with Geriace," said Emily.
"Did any of them have a deeper personal relationship with Doyle?" asked Morgan.
"Whoever it was showed a lot of rage to the nanny," said Hotch looking at the crime scene photos.
"You know the nanny represents a caregiver...a mother figure," said Spencer. It makes sense now. Why beat the woman so badly...because she was the mother in Declan's life.
"Who is Declan's mother?" asked Hotch like he was reading Spencer's mind.
"Doyle told me she was dead," said Emily. Well doesn't that sound familiar, thought Spencer and he turned to look at the board.
"I'm not gaining any ground with Doyle. You might shock him enough to talk," said Morgan.
"I 'm not sure that's..." started Hotch and Emily cut him off.
"I'll talk to him. Might as well say hello while I'm here," said Emily with a hint of bitterness and she followed Morgan to where they were questioning him.
…...
Emily was in there for less than five minutes before Doyle was telling her everything they wanted to know. Declan's mother was a woman named Chloe Donaghy and she was another piece of work. She had tried to abort Declan and had been stopped by Doyle and was than held prisoner in his home until the baby was born and he sent her away with a large sum of cash and without her son.
She had brought in a tray of cupcakes laced with poison to the Rugby team so she could get to Declan and her rap sheet was filled with arrests for prostitution, weapon charges and drugs. At least this kid was raised by the nanny and hopefully will be ok after all this is over with.
"She hardly seems like the mothering type. Why would she take Declan?" asked JJ.
"It isn't love," said Hotch. "She wanted to hurt Doyle and she knew this would be the only thing that would even phase him."
"You know statistically the abduction of a child by it's mother, no matter the psychological disposition of said mother would still present a low risk to the child," said Spencer.
"She has plenty of ties here and overseas, she can go anywhere," said Morgan. Garcia starting looking into Chole's American history and was turning over nothing. Emily came back into the room and Hotch a report. It's sill freaky to see her walk into a room and have it be real...God I have to tell Catherine and Garcia has to tell Kevin and JJ has to tell Will...unless he already knew...god focus Spencer.
"Doyle gave me a list that has all of Chole's contacts with large bank accounts."
"So he thinks it's trade?" asked JJ.
"For what...drugs and weapons?" asked Garcia.
"Does it matter?" asked JJ disgusted at the thought someone would use their child like a pawn. Hotch took the list and gave to Garcia so she could run the names. In less than three minutes Garcia had a name of a man whose brother had been killed by Doyle.
"The Doyle's and the McDermott's have a thing," said Garcia explaining what she had found. She also found the location of a McDermott warehouse that was about to be tore down.
"Reid, Emily: stay here with Doyle. The rest of us are heading to Baltimore," said Hotch and the team left the building. Emily turned and she looked at Spencer, he seemed so ill at ease around her and she knew it was her fault. You've only been dead for seven months...they had to move on...especially him. She took a deep breath and went to say something when he beat her too it.
"We should...we should go and watch Doyle. Make sure he doesn't try to pull anything," said Spencer.
"Of course," said Emily and they walked down the hall together in silence. They sat in the room attached to Doyle's interrogation room and watched him without speaking for what felt like forever to Emily. Emily watched him twist his wedding ring and stare off into space. She knew that what she, Hotch and JJ had done was for her safety and the teams and it didn't change how much she had hurt these people that she called family. Taking the first step to repairing the damages would be up to her entirely.
"How's Catherine?" Emily blurted it out without really thinking, but she had a feeling that it might be the only safe topic they had right now. He looked at her puzzled at first and than she couldn't make out what was going through his head, but his tone was guarded like he was scared of her.
"She's...she's fine...she um...we're um...she's due next month," Spencer blurted out. Spencer had read countless of books in his life and none of them ever told you how to talk to a friend that was suddenly back from the dead and he had no clue what he was supposed to feel right now. He was happy that she was here...that if he wanted to talk to her about work, or movies or something he and Catherine had done she was physically here to talk to now and no longer just a head stone. He was hurt by the fact that she hadn't trusted them in the first place even though he trusted her with no hesitation with some of his secrets that others still didn't know about. He was angry at the fact that he and everyone else had mourned for her, cried for her, they had been torn apart by her death and no one thought to clue them in. He knew in his head that it was to keep to safe, but in his heart he was pissed and there was still the other emotions that he couldn't put a name to right now that he was feeling about Emily being alive in a room with him.
"Congratulations," said Emily softly wishing she had nails to pick right now seeing how guarded he was with her about this news.
"Did you know...before you...you left that she was pregnant?" asked Spencer looking straight ahead at Doyle. Before Emily could reply his phone went off.
"Declan's disappeared...they had him at the warehouse, but now they're gone." Before she react Spencer was already in interrogation room staring down Doyle. I knew things would be different and that they would be different, I just didn't know how much.
…...
"Your ex is working with Lachlan McDermott," said Spencer looking down at the man who was looking slightly homeless and emotionally broken. He wouldn't look Spencer in the eye upon hearing who had his child right now. "How would they leave the country?"
Doyle seemed frazzled, not the cold blooded killer they had dealt with months ago. The toll of running and the toll of having the one thing he cared about being harmed had broken him and Spencer knew that if he was going to get anything he would have to push his buttons.
"I don't know, but he has endless funds and you'll never find him or stop him," said Doyle.
"And he hates you doesn't he," it was a statement not a question and Doyle looked at smugly.
"More than you do Doctor." Don't bet on that, though Spencer looking at the person who has threatened his wife and took away his best friend. I hate breathing the same air as you. The idea came to him quickly, there was only thing that would make these people give up the child unhurt.
" Than maybe we should give him the thing he really wants...you." Doyle looked up at him with something almost resembling respect. Before Doyle could say anything Emily was already in the room looking furious.
"No we are not letting him out of here Reid!"
"Emily, I will chain myself to him if I have too"
"He will find a way to escape!"
"No he won't and we're running out of time! If we find McDormott now we'll still have a change to save Declan!"
"Well aren't we noble pretending that you care about my son," muttered Doyle.
"Yes I care that a child's life is in danger...you I honestly don't give a shit about," said Spencer not even looking at him.
"Strauss will never agree to a swap," said Emily. She was taken aback by Spencer's attitude, it was rare to see him mad and when he was it was a sight to behold.
"It's not like they'll want to keep me alive," said Doyle. "Death by your government or death by them either way I'm going out. If them killing me will save my son than so be it."
"Well look who's noble now...I'll talk to Strauss," said Emily and they went to leave the room.
"So tell me Dr. Reid...how is that pretty little wife of yours?" It stopped Spencer in his tracks and he turned to face Doyle who looked at him smugly. "She's due in a few weeks isn't she...can't tell you how many times I've seen her coming and going from the school with that little blond girl...and to think I wouldn't have even needed to use the silencer." Emily was about ready to drag Spencer out of that room before he completely lost his temper. Instead he glared at Doyle and spoke calmly.
"At least my significant other wanted my baby." Doyle went to stand up and couldn't due to the cuffs and Spencer left the room.
"He got mouthy," said Doyle looking at Emily.
"You threatened his wife. Now tell me how they would get out of the country!"
…...
It took some fast talking on Emily's part with Strauss, but they got her permission to take Doyle and a Tactical Team to the airfield in Maryland. They took a helicopter to the airfield and Doyle simply looked at the window, Emily was talking to Hotch and Spencer looked straight away still trying to process what was going on right now and couldn't. They landed less than twenty minutes later and stopped the plane from taking off. Hotch was talking through a bull horn at Chloe and McDormott
"You'll make sure he stay safe...I don't care what happens to me, but I want your word that he'll be safe," said Doyle looking at him once he was out of the helicopter.
"You have my word that I won't let anything happen him," said Spencer.
"Spoken like a father," said Doyle. McDormott came out of the plane with Declan in front of him and pointing a gun at the boy's head.
"Bring Doyle here! I want him on his knees!" ordered McDormott. Spencer grabbed one arm and Emily grabbed the other and they marched him over. McDormott pointed the gun at Doyle.
"Well look at you...you bastard...it's your time now!" Out of the corner of his eye, Spencer thought he say movement from the plane's stairs.
"GUN!" yelled Morgan. Chloe came into his line of sight and she had gun, she raised her weapon and shot Doyle in the neck. Spencer quickly pulled his gun and fired at Chloe, she got McDormott as Emily reached out and grabbed Declan and Spencer emptied the rest of his clip into Chloe, dead center and she fell over the stairs. Hotch, Morgan and JJ ran forward as Spencer quickly took McDormott's gun away and checked for a pulse and found none and the same for Chloe. Emily had Declan and Doyle laid bleeding on the ground as he looked at his son and he reached out a hand to him. The young boy took it carefully.
"I remember you," he said sadly.
"I'm sorry son." Doyle closed his eyes and fell back to the pavement, he too was dead. Declan closed his eyes tightly and Emily hugged him.
"I just want to go home," said Declan.
"Me too," said Emily. Me too, thought Spencer looking at the three dead people on the ground.
…...
The scene was cleared quickly and they made their back to the Virginia with Declan. His adopted father waiting for him at the BAU with Strauss. Declan hugged his father tightly and was still fighting tears.
"You can take him home," said Hotch.
"Thank you...for everything," he said and he took Declan, who thanked them all on the way back to DC, home to recover.
"All of you my office now!" ordered Strauss.
"Oh boy! Mommy is mad at us," said Rossi.
"How bad do you think it's going to be?" asked Garcia coming up to them.
"Bad," said Hotch and he headed up to the office.
"Let's just get this over with," said Morgan following Hotch. The team went up to Strauss's office and tried to brace themselves for whatever was about to happen.
"There are not words for how bad this situation is!" snapped Strauss. I could think of a few, thought Spencer keeping his mouth shut.
"Until further notice you are all under suspension, unpaid and are no longer part of the FBI. In two weeks time a Senate Committee will decide your status." Garcia sat down in a chair stunned. JJ and Emily looked at her blankly. Rossi gave her a bitter and tight smile. Hotch was stone faced and Morgan just threw down his badge and handed her his gun.
"The only regret I have is not taking Doyle out months ago." He turned and left the office. Garcia handed her badge over.
"We saved Declan and we got Emily back...they can have it." She turned and left. Rossi handed his badge and gun over.
"Well Erin you saved me filling out the paper work for my time off. Guess this means I'm free to do interviews with Anderson Cooper now."
"Get out of my office David!" With a little bow Rossi left her office. Emily shrugged and tossed her visitor tag on the desk.
"Since I technically don't work here..." JJ handed over her badge and gun wordlessly as did Hotch.
"Dr. Reid," prompted Strauss. He took a deep breath and handed over his badge and gun.
"In two weeks..." she started and Spencer cut her off.
"I don't feel you have the right to do this." Strauss looked at him like he had grown two heads as did the others.
"And why is that Dr. Reid?"
"Because I don't feel like I have done anything that violated my duties to this office. A young boy's life was in danger and we saved him. If that is going to get me suspended than I don't belong here." Before she could say anything else he walked out of her office and collected his things from his desk. Morgan, Garcia and Rossi were already at the elevator waiting.
"It's six am and I need a drink," said Rossi.
"Mimosas are good," said Garcia.
"Beer is better," said Morgan. JJ, Emily and Hotch joined them.
"We're debating liquor for breakfast," said Garcia.
"I...we...we need to tell Will, Catherine and Kevin about this," said JJ twisting her ring.
"I just miss seeing them," said Emily.
"We can have breakfast at my place," said Morgan and they got on the elevator. It was Saturday morning and Hotch really wanted to see Jack after being away for month. Spencer didn't blame him for wanting to see his child after this.
"I guess...I'll see you all of you later," said Hotch and he got in cab and headed home. Garcia called Kevin and woke him up.
"Yes...yes it's very important that you meet us! I...I can't explain over the phone. I'll be there in a little bit to pick you up!" She got off the phone and looked at Spencer.
"I'll drop you off at your place," said Garcia.
"I'll go get Will and Henry," said JJ.
"Guess that leaves you and me," said Morgan.
"Ok," said Emily
"I'll bring the booze," said Rossi. Emily followed Morgan to his car. JJ and Rossi left and Spencer and Garcia got into her car. They drove in silence for awhile, of course Garcia couldn't stay quiet long.
"It's like a dream and a nightmare merged into one...I mean we get Emily back, but we lose our jobs...is it supposed to even out somehow?"
"Honestly I'm still trying to process the last fifteen hours and I'm worried about how the stress of this is going to affect Catherine and it's all beyond comprehension right now," said Spencer.
"Make sure she's sitting down...if I hadn't been sitting I would have fallen over." She dropped him off and she waved goodbye before driving off. Spencer headed up the apartment and Catherine was still sleeping. He sat down on the bed and kissed her forehead and started playing with her hair. She groaned and went to roll away.
"Not fair...can't roll over," she muttered. He couldn't help but smile. He put a hand on her midsection and rubbed it. "No...don't wake her up...oh come on." Catherine opened her eyes and tried to glare at him while half asleep.
"Well now I'm awake and so is she...you better have something amazing to wake me up for." You're about to find out...
"It's a long story, but we need to go over to Morgan's." Catherine looked up at him and frowned.
"Are you ok?" He leaned over and kissed her. I'm not sure right now.
…...
Spencer was quiet the whole time she was getting ready and quiet on the drive to Morgan's. He took her hand and squeezed it hard and he had this odd look in his eye. They parked his car and went up to Morgan's house. Spencer rang the bell and he heard Clooney barking, Morgan greeted them at the door. He let them in and house smelled like French Toast and coffee. JJ, Will and Henry were already there and so was Rossi sipping a Bloody Mary and a few minutes later Garcia and Kevin came in.
"Ok the gang's all here so what's the big surprise?" asked Will. JJ took a deep breath and stepped away from Will.
"Um...have a seat," said JJ. Will looked confused but sat back down. JJ fiddled with her ring for a moment and cursed Hotch in her head. He had to tell them team and they had to act professional at the time and had a case to focus on, now she had to tell the other members of the family what was going on. The people who supported them as best as they could for the past seven months and had grieved this lost with them. The ones who made this job bearable had been hurt by this too and they didn't have to act professional.
"I...I um...a few months ago...Emily was badly injured when she was kidnapped and attacked by Doyle and she suffered a lot of blood lost and several internal injuries, but the doctors were able to stabilize her." JJ was so flustered she forgot to sign and Catherine caught a few words. Emily, doctors and what looked liked stabilize. Catherine looked at Spencer confused. Will looked stunned and so did Kevin.
"Is she talking about Emily?" asked Catherine out loud. Spencer shot a glare at JJ and than signed to Catherine what JJ had said.
"What do you mean 'stabilize her'?" asked Catherine out loud.
"Are you telling us...she's alive?" asked Will and JJ nodded.
"We had to fake her death for her safety...since Doyle got away and we knew that he wouldn't stop until she was dead. Myself, Hotch, Clyde and three other people knew she was alive. We relocated her to Paris and she was given new identities to hid her from Doyle," said/signed JJ. Spencer watched Catherine's face get paler by the second, while Will's was getting redder and Kevin looked stunned.
"She's alive," said Will and JJ nodded.
"Emily...you can come out now," called JJ. Emily came out of the kitchen and into the living room. Spencer watched Catherine's eyes get wide and it was like all the color drained out of her face. Will looked furious and Kevin looked stunned beyond words. Catherine pushed herself out of her chair and couldn't stop looking at Emily and both women looked near tears.
"So...bad sushi huh?" teased Emily and she gestured to the baby bump. It was so unreal that while she had been in hiding her best friends were about to become parents. Emily wished she could have been there when they told the team, she wished a lot of things would had gone differently. Emily stepped forward and hugged Catherine. Catherine found that she couldn't breath and that she was very hot and cold all at once. Her knees locked and she fainted, Emily caught her and Spencer was out of his chair in a heart beat and took Catherine from her and sat on the floor with her. Henry got upset and started crying. Will didn't say anything, he just picked up Henry and went outside with him.
"Will," said JJ and she followed him outside.
"What the hell?" asked Kevin.
"Kevin..."started Garcia.
"Penny cried for weeks after your funeral and don't even get me started on what was going on in the Reid household...this is...this is just...what...if your out of Witness Protection or whatever you were under does this mean Doyle is gone?" asked Kevin.
"It's a really long story, but yeah Doyle is dead and we've all been placed under suspension until further notice," muttered Garcia.
"Is she ok?" asked Emily squatting down next to Spencer and Catherine. She knew that he was always very protective of Catherine and she had a feeling that protectiveness had increased since her pregnancy.
"She'll be fine," he said coolly and he started trying to wake her up. Catherine stirred and looked up and saw Spencer and Emily looking down at her and she realized that she hadn't been dreaming that Emily was really alive.
"Oh my god," muttered Catherine. Spencer helped Catherine up and she leaned against him.
"I am so sorry and I can't imagine how hard this was for all of you," said/signed Emily hugging her again.
"I just...I need some air," signed Catherine and she walked outside to the front.
…...
Will put Henry down and he ran after the dog laughing.
"Doggy daddy! Doggy!" cried Henry. JJ came up to him.
"Please talk to me," pleaded JJ.
"Seven months JJ...in seven months you didn't think to even tell me about this!"
"I couldn't tell anyone Will."
"I'm not anyone...I'm the father of your child, we share a home and a life together, other than a piece of paper I consider you my wife and you couldn't tell me she was alive. I guess I can understand you not telling me...but the team my god JJ. Spencer was out it for almost three months and it almost ended his marriage. If he wasn't over crying with you, Penny was over sobbing her eyes out. It messed them all up and they would have kept it to themselves and it would have helped them move on and with closure. They blamed themselves for her death...and you and Hotch let them."
"It wasn't like that...we had to trick Doyle to thinking she was dead and if Doyle was watching the team he had to believe that they were grieving."
"Well you fooled me," muttered Will.
"Will..."
"I'm hurt...I know you had to do this for your job and that there are things you can never tell me because of your job, but it still doesn't change how it hurts," said Will watching Henry play with the dog.
"I am so sorry and I never meant to hurt any of you...in a way it was like she was dead. We didn't know if we were ever going to find Doyle and if she would ever come home. I love you and I wish I could have told someone...anyone." She wished she could tell him about how much the guilt ate at her and made her miserable. Will sighed and hugged her.
"I love you too cheri...I just wish you hadn't gone through this alone." JJ hugged him back and watched their son play with the dog.
…...
Catherine sat down on front stairs and closed her eyes, she felt Spencer's hand on her shoulder. She leaned against him and he rubbed her back.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"Just...I'm not sure what I'm supposed to feel right now," signed Catherine.
"I know how you feel."
"I just need some time to think. Do you mind if I go home? I can catch the train a few blocks from here."
"Can I go home with you?" Catherine looked at him confused. She figured that he would want to stay with the team.
"I'll be fine if you want to stay." He took her hand and he had the odd look in his eyes.
"I need some time to think too ok and I need to fill you in on what else happened."
"What else happened?" asked Catherine. Spencer sighed.
"We need talk about it at home ok."
"Alright. Let's go home." Spencer went back into the house and told Garcia they were going home.
"But..."she started.
"I just need sometime to think and I need to talk to Catherine about everything that has happened," said Spencer. Emily heard this from the living room and frowned. She knew that the team was in shock, but she was worried about them has her friends and her family. She heard the door shut and Rossi finished his drink.
"Well this went well."
…...
"So what happens now?" asked Catherine sipping her tea. Spencer told her about his suspension and the Senate hearing that was supposed to happen in two weeks.
"I have to asked to be reinstated and I'm not going too. I didn't do anything wrong and I didn't violate my duties to my job or my team. We saved a young boy's life and four international criminals are dead now. I'm failing to see what I did wrong," signed Spencer poking at his breakfast. He was starting to feel a sort of quiet panic though creep in. He was unemployed and his wife was supposed to have a baby next month. They had a good amount in the saving account, but still he was supposed to take care of her and he was out of job.
"I...I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about Emily. I'm just I'm happy that she's alive...I really missed her and it's just surreal that I can pick up the phone and text her now," signed Catherine. Spencer didn't say anything he just looked down at his breakfast and Catherine knew where this could head.
"Please talk to me," said Catherine sadly. Spencer looked back up and saw that Catherine seemed near tears. Shit, he thought to himself. Catherine hadn't had a lot of wild mood swings during her pregnancy, but he knew how it made her feel when he wouldn't talk to her. He wasn't upset with her, it was just the situation was driving him up the wall. He reached over and took her hand and squeezed.
"I'm...I'm happy she's back, but it's just hard to process that she was alive this whole time and that Hotch and JJ knew...that they looked us in the eyes and told us how much they missed her too and they knew. I know on an intellectual level that they had to do it to keep her safe, but emotionally I'm kind of pissed off." He thought back on all the nights he had cried with JJ and she cried with him about how much they missed Emily and the whole time she knew. We wouldn't have told anyone...why did they do this too us. Catherine took his hand and she hugged him carefully.
"It's going to be ok. The job thing...well we can handle that. If you get reinstated than problem solved. If not, I doubt you'll be unemployed long, I bet with one phone call Cal-Tech would gladly hire you...hell I bet if you call any school they would hire you. The Emily thing, I really don't think there is one way your supposed to feel about your friends coming back from the dead. Just promise me one thing."
"What?"
"If you ever have to fake being dead, don't leave me behind." Catherine wiped her eyes quickly and Spencer hugged.
"I wouldn't leave you behind ever."
