Old Friend
The next day they got the news that Jake and Mary Colter had been found murdered. They just all felt frustrated but they knew they had to carry on.
They'd already worked out the UnSub wasn't going to stop until he got to his actual targets. The profile was that he was a divorced father of twins with a violent history. He'd been abused as a child and possibly had abused his own children until his wife one day left him and he was trying to do all this to get back at her. His final target would be their own twins.
They went over the crime scene and he was still killing the same way and they now had to find the next targets before he did. Unfortunately a dark-haired woman in her mid-twenties came running in in a panic.
"My twins were just taken from me. I couldn't find them anywhere," she panicked.
Hotch turned round upon hearing her voice and looked into the eyes he'd fallen for nine years ago. Though he'd loved Haley since high school he'd never quite got over this young siren. Emily Prentiss, the daughter of the Ambassador, he never thought he'd see her again.
He went over to interview her about her children's disappearance. He decided he would handle this interview for the case. A friendly face might help her. He hadn't been able to help thinking about her since Haley's death and wondering what kind of mother she'd make. He hoped they'd reunite one day but under better circumstances.
"I'm..." he said offering his hand.
"Agent Hotchner," she answered taken aback.
"Miss Prentiss..."She nodded smiling a little that he still remembered her name but devastated about her twins. She still remembered that night like it was yesterday. Well it was after all the night her twins were conceived. She'd really wanted to tell him but had no form of contact and when her mother found out there was no way she was going to help.
She and her mother hadn't spoken since. There had been the occasional Christmas card. Emily had written to tell her of their birth but she'd never attempted to be in their lives. She would send the occasional birthday card from her secretary but that was the full extent of their relationship. She'd basically raised them alone and they were all she had. Now they were missing.
It had been hard but she'd tried to do everything physically possible for them even when she was at Yale. Luckily the university had been understanding to her situation and allowed to keep them on campus. As she looked up at their father she realised just how much Leon looked like him and it made her eyes well up. No-one had wanted a single mother of twins and sometimes she wondered what it would be like to have him in their lives.
"Let's go to one of the rooms..."
