Summary: Prentiss goes to Canada to hide out from Doyle. When she gets there, she realizes her team is there too. Will they recognize her? Will she get to be reunited with her family? Taken from everyone's POV

Chapter One

Prentiss's POV

Her name was Julie Parker, not Emily Prentiss.

She still turned at the name Emily. She wasn't used to answering to Julie. She didn't know if she'd ever get used to it.

She hated lying.

She took comfort in knowing that JJ knew she could be here, in Toronto. She also knew that she could have as easily chosen to go to Frankfurt or Bangkok. She hoped she would be able to see them again. She wanted her family back.

She pushed her thoughts aside and rented a car, a black SUV, to be exact. She laughed internally, but it felt like home. It felt like Emily. It felt right.

Three hours later, she had finally checked herself into a local Hotel and settled in for the night. She switched on the TV to the news, hoping to catch the weather.

"…advising all women between the ages of twenty and forty to update their security systems and use them properly. We at the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit and the local police are working on catching whoever is doing this. Thank you for your time."

That was JJ!

She looked closely on the screen and saw Hotch and Rossi, and realized the team was here in Toronto. If they were here…they could see her, and she could see them.

She knew that she had to get out there. But, first, she needed to begin her search for a home.

The next week, she had bought a home and started moving in. It was a two bedroom, two bathroom two story home that was just big enough for her. She was happy with it, and with paying just $414,400 US dollars. She had also had a few run ins with the team. She had seen JJ, who's eyes got wide and then who smiled. She had seen Rossi, who's mouth opened to say something, but nothing came out. She had also seen Derek, who did a double take. Then she saw Hotch, who turned away, but she knew that he knew.

She had to let them know. She had to.

She also wanted a way back into her old life without attracting Doyle's attention.

JJ's POV

So, she had picked the right case. JJ had run into Prentiss at a local coffee shop when she was picking up coffee for the team. She needed to tell Hotch. He needed to know that Prentiss was in town. Now was a good a time as any. She walked down the hallway to his hotel room and knocked. He opened the door wearing a tee shirt and blue jeans. JJ had to smile.

"Hotch…I've got to talk to you."

"Come in."

They stepped inside and sat down on the couch in the suite.

"I…I know where Emily is."

"Yes, I saw her too."

"You did?"

"So did Morgan and Rossi."

"Did you speak to her?"

"No. Did you?"

"No, I didn't. I didn't know if I should. I don't know what to do."

"JJ, I think it would be best if we didn't speak to her. I think the team does need to know, though."

"Do you want me to call them?"

"Yes."

Ten minutes later, the team was gathered in Hotch's suite. Garcia was there via webcam.

"Listen, I wanted you guys to come here because Hotch and I need to tell you something."

"You love each other?" Garcia asked with a hopeful look.

"What? No! I mean, yeah, I love Hotch, but not like that!"

"Darn." Garcia said glumly.

"Anyway, what JJ was trying to say was that…Emily's alive." Hotch said

"What the hell?" Derek asked.

"You're kidding!" Reid said.

"What?" Rossi yelled.

"Really?" Garcia asked, once again, hopeful.

"Yes. She's in witness protection…but we had to tell you because Hotch and I have seen her." JJ said.

"So have I." Rossi and Derek said at the same time.

"We know." Hotch said.

"So what do we do?" Garcia asked.

"She can't…come home. If you see her, you can let her know that you know, but don't make long conversation."

"Ok." Reid said.

"We need her back." Derek said.

"Morgan, her life is in danger. It will be until Doyle is dead. She can't come home."

"She can if Doyle's dead."

Prentiss POV

She had to find a way to be with her team again. She had to. She knew what her options were. She knew that Doyle had to die for her to get her life back. She had to trust in her team, but she couldn't wait very long. She had to find Doyle, and she had to kill him.

Derek POV

Derek knew they needed to find Doyle, and that was obvious. We needed Emily back for this case, too. Trying to solve a case without her felt wrong, and the case they were working on was horrible.

Three women had been found dead in a matter of one week. The UnSub was good, and they didn't know if he was in Toronto, or somewhere surrounding. The women's faces had been taken off, and found glued onto blank face masks.

The team needed Emily for this case. They needed all seven of them. She was a part of them.

So they had to kill Doyle. They had to.

A/N

This fan fiction is taking off! I made it longer than I usually make my chapters, in case you hadn't noticed. I will update as soon as I can, but my mom and I are getting a roommate, my cousin, Nikole, who's seventeen. My updates will be as often as possible, promise! Review if you'd like! Oh! If you're reading Letters to the Dead, I have another chapter coming. It's a Will/JJ chapter, too.

Ciao!
