She sat down on her mother's bed and started going through the box of papers. Most of them were book contracts, there was tax returns, the last was a letter from her grandmother to her mother. She pulled out the letter and started to read the letter.

Dear Alexis,

You need to tell him about the baby, he deserves to know. I have found out where he lives in Virginia, please for Izzaebella's sake tell him. She should know her father. Daddy and I will love you either way, I hope you will reconsider. Please don't be mad at me anymore.

Love,

Mom

Holy crap! Her dad, had lived in Virginia? That would be great if she knew his name, maybe Garcia could help her. She was good at her job. She put the information to one side. She laid down on the bed and closed he eyes and fell asleep. She didn't hear the knocking on the door, or someone calling her name. What woke her up, was someone kicking in the door. She jumped up from the bed, and eased out the door, down the hall towards the kitchen.

She could see movement in the living room, she eased herself towards that direction, coming up behind the intruders.

"Shit! Hotch, Morgan, what are you two doing?"

Hotch turned around and grabbed her arm. "Where are Jay and Eric?"Morgan just stood there in silence.

She removed her arm from his grip "They went home."

"They what? Why didn't you go with them! What were you thinking?" Both men were furious with her.

"Tell me what's going on?"

Hotch grabbed her arm again and dragged her to the car. He pulled out a file and showed it to her. It had pictures of her grandparents for weeks, then pictures of her for the last couple of days.

"What is this?" She started to feel nauseated, her grandparents were dead because of her. She wasn't going to cry, not in front of Hotch, her boss or Morgan. She wasn't going to show weakness.

Morgan spoke for the first time, taking pity on her. "Someone wanted you to come home, so they could kill you."

She starred ahead not saying anything. "Did you hear Morgan?"

"Yes. Any leads?"

"No, that's why we're here. To find out who and to keep you safe.." Hotch said. He tried to look in her eyes to see if she was comprehending.

"Let me know when you have the profile built."

She went into the house and shut the door, going to the phone and calling someone to fix the door. She walked through the kitchen to the back door and went outside, she sat down on the steps and put her head in her lap. She felt a hand on her shoulder, she look up and Morgan was standing behind her.

"I'm fine."

"If you say so."

"Stop profiling me Morgan."

"Come on Cooper..."

"Fine you want to know. I have to live with the fact that two of the best people I know are dead because of me!" He went to hug her. "Stop! I don't have time ti fall apart right now!"

She walked back into the house and splashed some cold water on her face. Someone knocked on the door, the local hardware store was there to fix the front door. Morgan came back into the living room, Hotch was outside on the phone. Morgan was looking at the pictures on the wall, there were school pictures of her from third grade to senior pictures.

He stopped at her cheer leader pictures from eighth grade to senior year. "Look at that, Cooper was a rah rah."

She smiled at his comment. "I can still do a round off, back flip and many other gymnastic moves."

"Care to demonstrate?" He raised his eyebrows at her.

She laughed at him. "Maybe later. I'd hate to show you and not the rest of the team."

Hotch came in to her laughing he had been worried about her. He was afraid she had checked out on him. "What's so funny?"

"Cooper, is going to give us a cheer leading demo, later."

"Really? I will look forward to it."

Hotch's phone rang it was Rossi. "We'll be there soon."

The three of them headed to town to the police station, Jay met them at the door. "Iz, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"The rest of your team is back here." She followed him back to the conference room. Roosi, Spencer, JJ, and Garcia were setting at the table. They looked up when she walked in, Garcia and JJ were the first to get to her. They hugged her, Spencer and Rossi were next.

"We're going to get him." Rossi told her.

"I know. I'm glad you all are here. So what do we know?"

Garcia started the briefing a picture of a man came up on the screen. "This is Brian Jones, you helped build a RICO case against him five years ago. He escaped from prison two months ago. "

"Oh my God." Jay said

"What is it Jay?"

"Izzy, think short hair, president of Business Club."

She paled. "I didn't even recognize him. He's changed...We went to school with him."

"So he has family here?" Morgan asked.

"He was Brian Hagan when he went to school."

"The Hagan's live out on T Hwy." Jay said.

"Let's go talk to them." Hotch said.

Izzy got up to go with them. "Morgan and Spencer you go out to the Hagan's."

Hotch stopped her before she could go out the door. "Your staying here."

"They won't talk to Morgan and Spencer. They will talk to me Hotch. They know me."

"No, it's too dangerous!"

"She makes sense Hotch." Rossi said.

"Fine, stay close to Morgan and Spencer."

She ran up to catch up with them, she climbed in the car with them. "I'll give you directions."

She knocked on the Hagan's door. "Izzy sweetheart. Come in...who's your friends?"

"Thank you Mrs. Hagan. This is Morgan, and Reid."

"Nice to meet you boys, would you like something to drink?"

"No m'am." They both answered.

"Mrs. Hagan, have you seen Brian lately?"

"Honey, he's been living at home for the last two months. Working at Gabler's garage. I'm sorry about your grandparents honey."

"Thank you, Mrs. Hagan."

"He worked on you grandpa's car not to long ago. He was hoping to see you while you were home. He said he might come see you tonight."

"Don't tell him I stopped by today Mrs. Hagen."

"Oh I won't. I'll see you Wednesday."

They got up and left. They were driving down the rode when they took on gunfire. Spencer pushed her down.

"Morgan, let me drive. I know the roads better then you."

She flipped over the front seat, and slid onto Morgan's lap, she stood up so he could slid from underneath her. She sat down and floored it, fishtailing down the gravel road. She power slide down another county road, coming out on a main highway, a car was right behind her, shooting at them. She sped up, and took a hard right, flying around a curve, the car was on her tail. She turned to her left, and took a right down a county road, the car was coming up beside her, she slammed the brakes, threw it in reverse and turned around and sped off. Taking back roads all the way back to the police station.

Morgan and Spencer were holding onto the dashboard for dear life.

"Where did you learn to drive like that?" Spencer moaned.

She laughed at poor Spencer. "Saturday afternoons in the middle of somebody's muddy field!"

"Impressive Cooper!"

They got back to the police station and was met by Hotch, he noted Spencer's pale face. "What's wrong with him?"

"He wasn't impressed with Cooper's driving."

"He got a little car sick on the way back." She smiled.

They met back in the conference room and discussed what they had found and the shoot out they had on they way back. They called it a night, she was ready to go back to the house. The rest of the team had left for the hotel, Hotch and Izzy were left in the conference room. Jay was walking by when she called his name.

"Can you give me a ride back to the house?"

Hotch walked out of the conference room. "You aren't staying there. I had JJ go out and pack you a bag." She stared at him, she hugged Jay and let him go.

"I am staying at the house."

"It's too dangerous."

"Why? Because he might com after me? That's what I want! So he can be put away. I'm going!" She walked away, and asked an officer to give her a ride.

She heard Hotch swear under his breathe but she didn't care. She had a ton of stuff to do, she got out of the squad car and unlocked her front door and went in the house. It wasn't even ten minutes later a car came squealing into the drive and Hotch was beating on her door.

She pulled the door open. "Can I help you?"

"I told you, that it wasn't safe here."

She shut the door in his face and walked into the kitchen and got a drink of water. She walked down the hall to her mom's room and started going through another box. She heard the door open and Hotch call her name. She stepped out into the hall, he walked towards her.

"Please, come with me."

"No. I have too much to do." She turned to walk in the bedroom and go through the box she had opened. He grabbed her and kissed her, she pulled away and looked at him. "I thought you said this wasn't a good idea."

"I changed my mind." She melted into his arms kissing him. His phone rang interrupting their kiss, she walked away and started going through the box of pictures. More vacation pictures of her mom and dad, there were a lot more in this box. It looks like these pictures were in France, there was nothing written on the back of these pictures.

She was looking at one when Hotch came up behind her, he picked up one of them and looked at the couple. "Is this your mom?"

"Yes, she's on vacation."

"Did you know, she knew Rossi?"

"What?"

"This is Dave Rossi, in the picture with her."

"I guess it was someone she met on vacation." She said.

"You look like your mom." She smiled at him. She took the picture and threw it in the box, putting them away.

The ramifications of the fact that Dave Rossi was the man in the picture with her mom, and one of them was labeled Izzy's dad.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." He leaned down and kissed her again, pulling her into his arms, looking into her eyes.

"You know this is going to be complicated?"

"I know." He had no idea.
