~A Great Mother~
•••

After giving the profile everyone gathered back in the conference room and they are sitting around trying to come up with something. Anything. Camilla is sitting forward in her chair spinning her pen between her fingers as she stares at the picture of Olivia in front of her. The team has been having a conversation for the past twenty minutes and she hasn't been listening to them at all. Hotch has been watching her the whole time. He's afraid to ask her if she's okay because they haven't talked since their argument and she's been avoiding him every chance she gets. Hotch looks at Rossi who was watching him watch her. After Rossi catches on to what Hotch wants he taps the table next to Camilla and she glances up at him. "You okay?" He asks

She sighs. "I hate this, I feel completely useless." She says sadly as she looks back down at the picture

Emily sighs as she sees the look in her sisters eyes. "Cam. We're going to find her." Emily says.

Suddenly Camilla jumps up from her chair angrily throwing it across the room. "Would you stop saying that!" She snaps in anger making everyone in the room jump. "We have nothing. Let's be realistic here! It's almost midnight! We're running out of time and there's no telling what that psycho bitch has done to her in the past 8 hours!" She yells her voice getting sadder as she does. "She doesn't deserve this." She almost sobs out

Morgan picks up the chair as Emily pulls her sister into a hug again. Camilla buries her head into Emily's shoulder holding back her sobs. Everyone watches her sadly. Olivia truly was like a daughter to her and after 8 hours they were all shocked she hadn't broke sooner. Emily runs her hands through Camilla's hair and down her back soothingly. She knows it's probably best not to keep telling her it will be okay because that's what upset her in the first place. Everyone stays quiet watching the sisters hold each other. This is the first time they've seen Camilla in such a vulnerable state and it was breaking everyone's hearts. Hotch almost looked like he was in tears at seeing her this way. They all stayed like this for 15 minutes. Emily wasn't going to pull away until Camilla did. They knew the girl wasn't crying she was simply holding her sister like she was her lifeline and if she let go she would break. Oliver walks into the room. "Cam." He says softly

Camilla pulls away from her sister and turns to look at Oliver. He looked about the same as she did. "Olivia's friend is here with his mom." He says

Camilla nods. "I'll be right there Ollie thanks." She says and he nods giving her a sad smile before leaving

Camilla then left the room without another word and Emily followed her. They silently walked to the bathroom and after a lot of pleading with her sister Emily finally convinced Camilla to pick someone on the team to go with her to talk to the kid. Camilla had asked Emily to have her and Hotch meet her in the room they were going to use to talk to the kid and the mom. Of course Camilla was still upset with Hotch but right now she needed him there. She always felt a little better when Emily and Hotch were with her. So Emily went and got Hotch, who was slightly relieved that Camilla had asked for his presence, and they met Camilla in the hallway on the outside of the room the kid and his mom were in. Oliver nods at them in greeting before turning to Camilla. "Okay mom's name is Karen and the boys name is Austin. Him and Olivia are best friends so this is really killing him." He explains
