Dave got out of his car at the school. It was the first day of the second part of the school year. He had finally gotten Julianna a place at the same school that Rachel went to. Dave knew how much that school had helped Rachel and despite the issues she had with the teacher Rachel loved that school and Dave knew it was the best place for Julianna.

Jules got out of the car and went inside with Dave. It was her first day at an actual school and she was excited, but she was nervous too.

Dave took her hand, and they went inside together. The principal was by the front door welcoming students for their first day back after Christmas break. She saw the two of them and smiled.

"Hello Jules. How are you doing?" She asked the girl as she bent down to her level.

Jules shrugged.

"Perfectly normal to be nervous. Do you want me to take you to your class?" She asked

Jules looked up at Dave who smiled.

"You are going to have a good day and Ms. Dalton has my number if you need to call me for -any reason." Dave told her.

Jules nodded and gave him a hug

Dave hugged her.

Ms. Dalton led the girl away towards her classroom and Dave left the school and went back to his car. He hadn't known the girl long, but he still felt the feelings that any parent would have dropping their child off at school for their first day. He took a breathe and cleared his throat to keep himself from tearing up as he started his car. He had to get to work, and his daughter was in good hands with the staff at the school.

He got to the office, and they were called out on a case that was in the area. After they discussed the case they headed to the police station.

It was a string of rape, murders. All young women all fit the same general look.

Hotch send Morgan and Hotch Jr to the home of the most recent victim.

There the two of them looked around. There was evidence that all the victims had been raped in their own beds before being drugged and taken from their homes afterwards and their unsub had not deviated in this case.

Lorelai looked around their victims bedroom. She saw something on her dresser, and she went over and put a pair of gloves on before picking up the necklace. It was half of a pair of friendship necklaces. She and Rebecca had the same ones from when they were young. Lorelai had bought them for the two of them and had it engraved on the back. Lorelai flipped the half heart over, and her heart stopped. This was Rebecca's necklace…

"Morgan! Bedroom there is something you need to see." She called out

Morgan came quickly. "What?"

Lorelai held the necklace by the chain up to show him. "This is Rebecca's…"

"Okay yeah she has the same one but there are probably lot of those." Morgan said

Lorelai showed him the back. "I bought her this and got in engraved with my initials. I have the other one with her initials. She took one of her gloves off and pulled the necklace from around her neck from under her shirt and showed him.

"Okay. How did it get here if its Rebecca's?" Morgan asked

"I- I don't know…" Lorelai said

"Well, I am going to find out." Morgan said taking the necklace from her.

"Morgan. No. Stop." Lorelai said following him. "She is not involved in this."

Derek stopped and looked at her. "I didn't say she is…"

"Well, you seem angry." She said

"I am. Look at those victim's Lorelai. Tell me you didn't see it." He told her

"We cant always assume just because the victims fit the general description of someone we love that it has anything to do with them." Lorelai said

"You're right. But this." He said holding up the necklace

"Why don't we bring her in to the station. Have someone else talk to her." Lorelai said

Derek ran a hand across his face. "Okay."

Lorelai called Hotch. "Hotch we need someone to go pick up Rebecca and bring her to the station. We found something at the scene that belongs to her and…"

"On it. Thank you for letting me know." Hotch told her before he send Prentiss and JJ to pick her up.

Morgan and Lorelai finished up at the scene and headed to the station.

Rebecca was brought into a conference room where she waited.

Lorelai spoke to Prentiss and JJ and what she found, and they went to talk to her.

"Hey Becca. Just know you are not in in any trouble we just have found something at a crime scene that Lorelai recognized as yours." Emily said showing her the necklace in an evidence bag.

Rebecca picked up the bag and looked at the back of the charm. "It -is mine…"

"Yeah the engraving was what made Lorelai realize it was yours for sure" JJ told her

"I don't know… Where was it found?" Becca asked

"The home of one of our victims." Emily showed her a picture of their victim and told her the name.

Rebecca shook her head. "I don't know her. Um. Does she say she knows me?"

"She was murdered." JJ told her

"Oh. Wait. The string of rape murders? Is that what this is. I've seen it on the news." Becca asked

Both women nodded.

JJ showed her all the victims pictures and names.

"Know any of them?" Emily asked

Rebecca shrugged and shook her head. "No… I don't. I didn't even notice that the necklace was missing… the chain broke as you can see. It was in my jewelry box. I haven't worn it in awhile."

"Who has had access to your room?" Emily asked

"No one who would do this." Becca said

"Are you sure? The guy you were dating…" JJ asked

Becca sighed. "He wouldn't do this. He is a good guy just having some problems he is working on them…"

"Are you back with him?" Emily asked

"Do not tell Derek. But yes." Becca said

"Rebecca. He has a pretty serious criminal record. A few violent offences. He could be dangerous." JJ said

"They were bar fights. When he was drunk he hasn't been drinking. He's getting help." Becca told them

"Becca. Come on. You are smarter than this." Emily said

"Its my life I can date whom I want." Becca said

The other two women nodded.

"Yup. You're right. But we need to talk to him, and you will tell Derek, or I will." Emily told her

"Why? He didn't do this." Becca said

"Who else has had access to your room that would have taken your necklace?" JJ asked

Becca looked up at them with tears in her eyes.

"Becca. We just want to talk to him. If he wasn't involved we can clear him." Emily said

Becca shook her head. "I don't care about that. Talk to him."

"You're worried about what Derek might think?" JJ asked

"Yeah. He's going to be pissed. I've been hiding this from him." Becca said

JJ nodded. "Well. He's going to find out one way to the other when we bring him in."

Becca nodded.

"Do you want us to send him in?" Emily asked

"I guess…" Becca said

"You want one of us to be here for support?" JJ asked

Becca shook her head. "I need to do this on my own. And you have more important things to do"

"He loves you. Remember that." JJ told her as the two women picked up the papers and the necklace from the table and left the room sending Derek in.

Derek saw her in tears as he went in. "Hey. What's wrong?" he asked sitting in the chair next to her

"They are bringing Randy in for questioning." Becca said

"Oh. He had access to your room I guess at one point." He said

Becca nodded and looked down. "And I am sure he will waste no time in trying to drag me down with him."

"What do you mean? Do you know something about these crimes?" He asked

Rebecca looked up. "No. I promise."

Derek nodded. "I believe you. So, what do you mean bring you down with him?"

Becca looked back down. "I have been seeing him again…"

"Rebecca. What? Why? I thought we agreed he was an ass." Derek asked

"I'm just…" Becca said

"You're what?" Derek asked

"I see you and Penny and you're so happy. I see Lorelai and Spencer and their so happy. I just want that." She said

"Becca. And you think you will be happy with that guy?" He asked

Becca shrugged.

"Look at me." He told her

Becca looked up.

"You know you will never be happy with someone who treats you badly." Derek said

"I know…I just… Wanted to feel connected…" Becca said

Derek sighed. "You're an adult as much as I don't want to think about that as I have really grown to see you as a daughter, but I understand that need. But you are to good of a person to turn to someone who is going to treat you like crap just to get that need filled."

Becca looked up at him. "D-daughter?"

"Yes Becca. I see you as a daughter." He said

Becca looked down again tears streaming.

"Hey. Look at me." He said softly

Becca looked up.

"Rebecca. I'm not going to say that you have made my life easy the last year but that doesn't change the fact that I care about you and that you have helped me too." He said

"I've helped you?" Becca asked

"Yes. You have." Derek said

Becca nodded. "I have to admit I came into this looking for a family. Any sort of family I never imagined I would find someone I see as a dad…" She said looking down

"I'm glad you feel the same way I do." He said

Becca nodded.

"Now I need you to look at me." He said

Becca looked up.

"Up till now I have stayed out of your romantic life as I thought you didn't need me to get involved. And I know telling you not to see him will make you want to even more, but you are not allowed to be involved with him anymore. I will not stand by and let you be involved with someone who has hurt you in anyway before." Derek told her

Becca sighed and looked down.

"Nope. Look at me." He said sternly

Becca looked up again.

"Do you understand?" He asked

"Yes sir." She said

"Good. As long as you stay away from him I will let slide the fact that you hid this from me." Derek said

"Got it." She said

Hotch and Rossi had gone and brought the young man in for questioning. After talking to him for awhile they found that he -had been the one who had taken the necklace from Rebecca's jewelry box, but he had solid alibis for the dates and times of 3 out of 4 of the victims.

"Why did you take the necklace?" Hotch asked

"Felt like it." He said

"And where did you put it?" Rossi asked

"I don't remember." He said

"Bullshit." Hotch said

He smirked.

"I looked at your record I'm sure your father will love hearing about this." Rossi said

"My father is dead." Randy said

"Nope. He's not. And you know he's not." Rossi said

"He is dead to me. I don't give a shit what he has to say." Randy said

"Why? Because he cut you off?" Hotch asked

"I'm going to go call him." Rossi said

"NO! Fine. I gave the necklace to a friend." He said

"Name." Hotch said

They got the information they needed before they left the room.

Morgan looked at Hotch. "Let me talk to him."

"Not a chance. You are too close to this." Hotch said

"Hotch please." Morgan said

Hotch sighed "Five minutes and I am going with you. Do not make me pull you out of there." Hotch told him as they both went in.

"Derek. Thank god can you tell them I didn't do this?" Randy said

"Not what I am here for. I am telling you what I told Rebecca. You stay the -hell away from her." Derek said

Randy smirked. "She's the one who came crawling back to me."

Derek took a breathe. "It wont be happening again. She wants -nothing to do with you."

"Sure. We will see what she has to say." Randy said

"No. I -promise you if you come near her again I will find a way to make sure you end up in jail." Derek said

Hotch stepped in. "You will stay away from her. End of story." He said before leading Derek out of the room.

"Derek. Take Rebecca and go home." Hotch said

"Your pulling me off the case?" Morgan asked

"You are to take Rebecca home and make sure no one gets to her that is your assigned task." Hotch told him

Morgan was annoyed but went and got Rebecca and went home.

Hotch went to Lorelai. "I have sent Morgan home do I need to do the same to you?" He asked

"No Sir. I will stay away from him and do what I'm told." Lorelai said

"Okay." Hotch told her

They shared the profile of the unsub with the police before getting back to work on finding their unsub. They were keeping Randy at the station because they weren't convinced he didn't know more than he was saying.

Lorelai was sent with Rossi to go get the person whom Randy had given the name.

When they got there the knocked on the door and Lorelai was shocked when the door was opened by a man she recognized. Her biological father.

Rossi recognized him but couldn't place him. "Good afternoon sir. Are you Mr. Franklyn?"

"No. He isn't here can I help you with something?" He asked

"Do I know you from somewhere?" Rossi asked

"Yeah you do Rossi. He's my biological father." Lorelai answered.

"Oh. Yeah. What are you doing in DC?" Rossi asked

"Not your concern." Mr. Davies answered

"Well, where is Mr. Franklyn?" Rossi asked

"The store. Should be back soon what do you want with him?" He asked

"Just have a few questions." Rossi answered

"Well, you are both welcome to come in and wait." Mr. Davies said

"Don't think that is the best idea as there is a restraining order in place. We will wait out here." Rossi told him leading Lorelai to the car.

They both got in.

"Do you need to step back?" Rossi asked

Lorelai shrugged.

"Okay. I'm calling Hotch having him send someone else down." Rossi said

Lorelai nodded

Rossi called Hotch and filled him in on what was going on.

Hotch sent Prentiss and Lorelai went back to the station.

Hotch took her into the conference room. "You okay?" He asked

Lorelai shrugged. "I'm surprised he's in DC and hasn't tried to contact me…"

"There is a restraining order in place." Hotch pointed out

"Yeah but I figured he wouldn't listen." Lorelai said

Hotch nodded. "I'm surprised to."

Lorelai sat down and put her head in her hands. "He seemed so calm and rational. Answered our questions."

Aaron sat down next to her and turned her chair, so they were looking toward each other. "Look at me." He said

Lorelai looked up.

"When Rossi called me and told me your father knew our suspect I did a check on him. He is in court ordered treatment for his drug addiction. I called the person in charge of his compliance, and he is doing well. He is taking all the steps. He has been clean for six months." Hotch told her

"Wow. Good for him. I'm happy for him." Lorelai said

"He told me your father made the changes after losing someone he loved." Aaron told her

"Who?" Lorelai asked

"I don't know why no one though to tell you but your mother died of a drug overdose." Aaron told her

Lorelai's jaw dropped. "W-what?"

"I'm so sorry Lorelai." He said

Lorelai got up and walked out of the conference room and went outside and went for a walk. She needed space and air. She was feeling all so many things. She was hurt, angry, upset, confused. She walked for awhile, but the anger just kept rising to the point where she punched the side of the police building hurting her hand in the process.

Rossi and Prentiss had just gotten back to the station with their suspect and witnesses what Lorelai had just done. Rossi told Prentiss to get the man inside and he went to Lorelai. "Yup we need to get that wrapped." He said leading her inside to the conference room and grabbing the first aid kit.

"Sit." He told her

Hotch looked up and saw her hand "What happened?" he asked as Lorelai sat down

Rossi looked at Lorelai. "Tell him or I will."

"I punched a wall." Lorelai said

"You did what? Why?" Hotch asked

Lorelai looked up. "Are you seriously asking me that?"

Rossi started to clean and wrap her hand.

"Okay. I get your feeling a lot right now, but I didn't think you were -that angry." Aaron said sitting next to her.

"I'm sorry." Lorelai said tears in her eyes.

"Its okay to feel whatever you are feeling Lorelai." Aaron said

"I know. But this was the wrong way to handle it." Lorelai said

"Yeah maybe. But sometimes when we are angry and hurting we don't react in the best way." Aaron told her

"Do you think its broken?" Rossi asked

"No. Its fine." Lorelai said

"Thanks Dave I'll take it from here." Aaron said.

Dave nodded and left them alone and went to find Prentiss and their suspect.

"Promise me it doesn't hurt, and you don't think its broken." Aaron told her

Lorelai looked up. "It hurts but I don't think it hurts enough that its broken."

"Okay well if that changes tell me." He told her

"I promise I will." She said

"Good. Now two options. You can work from the station, or you can go home." He said

"I cant focus on work." She said

"Okay. Go home. And rest." He said

"Dad. Would you be hurt if I went and spoke to him?" She asked

"Lorelai no of course not. But I don't want you going alone." He said

Lorelai nodded. "I'll take someone with me."

"Okay. And Lorelai I understand that you will always have a connection to him. He is your blood. I would never stand in the way of you getting to know him." Aaron told her

Lorelai nodded. "Know that this has nothing to do with you and the amazing dad you have been. You are my dad, and I would be dead if it wasn't for you. He is just my DNA."

"I know." He said with a smile. "Now go take a cab go home and rest."

"Yes dad." She said with a smile, and she got up and left.

Aaron smiled and got back to work.
