Chapter 1 Telling The Truth

Special Supervisory Agent Emily Rose Prentiss of the Behavioral Analysis Unit was so tired of running from her past and keeping secrets from her team who became her family over the past few years. She even fell in love with her partner, Derek Morgan over the years without even knowing. Emily was planning on being honest with Derek about her feelings before Ian Doyle showed up.

As she listened to Derek tell her she could trust him and their team Emily knew she could trust them with her past but she was scared of putting them in even more danger. Still, she decided to be honest with them no matter the consequences because she knew they could protect themselves.

"I do trust you, Derek, along with the team. I'm just afraid of putting you in more danger because someone really bad is after me and my team from the CIA. My past is coming back for me," Emily explained as they pulled in front of her apartment building.

"Emily," Derek said sighing. He knew she had a rocky past due to how she keeps her guard up all the time but he hates how she won't let him in. He loves her more than anything he just hasn't told her how he felt due to them being partners and not wanting to ruin their friendship.

"I'll tell you everything when we get back to Quantico. Text Hotch and tell him to meet us in a secure room along with the team," Emily requested as she exited the SUV.

After she changed, Emily grabbed everything in her safe before leaving her apartment. As she and Derek drove back to Quantico she couldn't help but notice a black car tailing them.

"What is it?" Derek asked.

"Black car. It's been following us," she stated trying not to back out of telling them about her and Doyle.

"Don't worry Em, I don't think they'll try anything anytime soon," Derek said trying to keep her calm. He was worried too but she was more important than him than panicking. She didn't need that right now.

"I know but I can't help but be nervous," she said frowning.

"I wish I could say I understand but I don't," Derek said as they pulled into Quantico.

"I really hope you guys don't hate me when I tell you everything," she stated as they exited the SUV.

"That's not possible. We may not like your choices but we could never hate you," Derek stated as he hugged his best friend/partner. It would be impossible to hate the woman he loved.

"Emily, are you sure you want to tell us everything?" Rossi asked when they exited the elevator.

"I have too. I'm not going to lie to some of the most important people in my life. You guys are my family," she stated as he hugged the man she viewed as an uncle.

As they entered the most secure room in the building she noticed everyone in her team was already there waiting.

"What's going on?" Hotch asked frowning, worried about his agent and friend.

"I'm going to tell you about my past because it's connected to this case," Emily stated frowning. She was worried about her team/family but she was going, to be honest anyway.

"Oh?" Reid asked.

"Seven years ago I was working for the CIA trying to bring a terrorist down along with his men. We infiltrated his organization using me as a love interest. I was his type. My cover was an arms dealer," Emily explained giving them the CliffsNotes version.

"I couldn't imagine going through that," Ashley said frowning.

"It was not fun. I gained everything I could from him and gave it to my handler and our team. Now, just last week, I found out from Sean, my handler that Ian Doyle escaped. He's after me and everyone I worked with to bring him down. Everyone who has wound up dead was due to him and his team," Emily explained.

"Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Garcia asked.

"He and his team killed everyone I worked with. I'm afraid of what he could and will do to you guys," Emily said trying not to cry.

"Okay, we understand but why is he killing children?" Derek asked.

"He has a son named Declan. He thinks he's dead but I faked it so Declan could have a normal life," Emily explained as she smiled thinking about the little boy who stole her heart.

"You really love that little boy," Garcia stated when she saw the smile on Emily's face.

"Yes, I do. I would gladly adopt him but I can't while Doyle is still alive. I visit Declan every time I'm on vacation and on my days off," Emily said still smiling.

Derek couldn't help but smile when he heard the love in Emily's voice just by thinking about that little boy. He also couldn't help but picture her pregnant with his baby and knew he would have to tell Emily that he loved her.

"What do we do now?" Ashley asked.

"I call in reinforcements," Emily stated pulling out her phone.
