Rossi met Garcia in her lair bright and early the next morning. "I need you to do something for me."

Garcia sat down in her chair and got ready to crack whatever Rossi needed her to do. "My computer skills are at your service."

"Could you take a picture and show me what they look like now?" Rossi asked getting the picture out of his wallet.

Garcia nodded and started pulling up the needed software. "What case is this for?"

Rossi handed her the worn picture. "Cold case," He replied.

Garcia took the picture and couldn't help but notice the adorableness. "Who is she?"

"Her name is... was Evie," He started. "She was abducted from her home when she was three. I need you to age the picture about 28 years."

"That's awful," Garcia commented before getting to work.

Rossi just nodded numbly and watched Garcia. "It won't be a 100% accurate you know since there's unknown factors to consider. They could have dyed their hair, been in an accident..." She rambled.

"I just need something to go off of," Rossi told her.

"Well in a few more minutes we should have a final picture," Garcia commented.

When the final picture was printed Rossi gave a quick thank you and rushed out with it. Once she was alone Garcia couldn't help, but allow herself to want to learn more. She had a first name, age, and a round about year. 'This will be easy' she told herself.

Rossi barged into Strauss' office and threw the picture down on her desk. Strauss looked up abruptly and glanced at the picture. "Why did you barge into my office to show me a picture of Agent Prentiss."

Rossi set the picture of Evie down next to it. "Because it's not a picture of Agent Prentiss. I had Garcia do an age progression. That picture is of Evie; of what our Evie would look like today," He'd explained.

Strauss took her glasses off and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Dave..." She whispered.

"Erin I think it's something worth looking into," Dave told her walking around her desk.

Strauss shook her head. "You can't keep living on false hope; Evie is gone."

"I refuse to give up on my daughter Erin!" Rossi stated his volume rising.

The louder Rossi got the quieter Strauss got. "You're not giving up you are moving on with your life. It's been almost twenty-nine years Dave."

"I work for the FBI and find abducted children all the time, but couldn't find my own. What does that say about me?" Rossi pointed out.

Strauss felt the tears pooling as her anger bubbled; yet her voice remained quiet, "I was there Dave. She was just a few feet away from me and someone just snatched her up. What does that say about me?" The sobs started as Rossi gathered her in his arms. "Someone took my daughter from right underneath me."

Rossi ran his hand up and down her back in comfort. "I should have been there."

"No, don't go blaming yourself now," Strauss spoke between crying.

"I'm not blaming myself," Rossi stated, "I blame the person who took her."

Garcia had to use her magic, but she eventually pulled up the case of Evie Rossi. "How could someone do this?" She asked herself.

With a new found determination she took a closer look at the age progressed picture. "My furry friends if she doesn't look like Emily."

With that Garcia started digging into the newest agent's background. When she discovered several closed files her suspicion grew. It took some time, but she finally found what she was looking for. "Woah," Was all she could say.

Garcia took her laptop and scurried to find Rossi. She knocked but no one answered. "Can I help you?" Hotch asked walking up to her.

Garcia didn't know how much she was to share so she attempted to lie. "He asked me to find tickets for a show and I just wanted to let him know I was able to find some not sold out."

Hotch had a suspicion she was lying, but he knew it couldn't be about anything to severe. "I think he's still in Strauss' office."

"Thanks boss man," Garcia said before rushing off.

Garcia knocked and waited for permission before entering the office. Like predicted she found Rossi and Strauss sitting on the couch. "I found her."

Strauss sat up as Rossi jumped to see what Garcia had found. "It took a little digging and opening a few files, but I finally found her. There is no record, besides a copy of a birth certificate, of an Emily Prentiss before her fourth birthday. Turns out she was adopted from a company shut down years ago for kidnapping their children and giving them new homes and identities. Most of the kids were found and returned to their homes, but I guess they found no record of her. If it's any consolation I don't think Ambassador Prentiss knew she had adopted an abducted child," Garcia explained.

Strauss sat speechless as Rossi thanked Garcia. When Garcia had been sworn to secrecy and returned to her computers Rossi sat back down. "I can't believe we might have finally found her."

"What are we gonna do?" Strauss inquired.

Rossi shrugged. "That's a really good question."
