my dear delilah - criminal minds

A few days pass and the mood was still amateurish.

Garcia sends a message out to the team "We have got another case. Get here ASAP."

Anxiously waiting, she notices Derek Morgan entering the door with a smirk.

"Hey doll face. What's the case about?"

"Well my handsome man, you will just have to wait and see." her mood improving slightly due to his presence.

Following behind is Blake and Spencer.

Blake smiling towards Garcia, noticing her current panic but not announcing it.

Spencer disheartened and his frame of mind spiritless, sat across from Garcia speechless and expressionless.

Hotch struts in making eye contact with only Garcia.

JJ and Rossi approach the round table with confusion of the current quietness.

Delilah soon after, rushing into the room apologising thoroughly for being late.

"Many bodies have been found here in Quantico this morning and they want our help immediately." Garcia explains with a frown.

Spencer opens his mouth with irritation "Well from what I can tell, these bodies are definitely for us."

The photo showing multiple bodies being used to spell out "BAU".

"We need to find out who this is before they decide to personally attack us." Hotch explains with much frustration as he knows the team has suffered enough.

Delilah's panic begins to grow with this news. Thoughts flying through her head about her father and this attack possibly being her fault.

"Excuse me, can I go to the bathroom quickly before we start?" Delilah asks with an alarmed tone.

"Of course" Hotch replies with slight worry.

The sight of Delilah walking away reflexes Spencer's wrath. Blake notices raising her eyebrows startled by his reaction.

"You okay? Can't help but notice some tension between you and Allison?"

Spencer then snapping "I don't want to talk about it and even if I wanted to, I couldn't. So forget it."

Blake decides to not take the attack personally and forgets about their conversation.

Meanwhile Delilah is dialling a number into her phone.

"Hey Emily It's me."

"Hey Delilah, how come you're ringing me? Not that it's not great to hear your voice but I said to only call if it's an emergency."

"I-It is." She states with an embarrassed stutter.

"What's happened?" Emily asks with a fearful tone.

Delilah continues to describe the case to Emily begging her for advice.

"Right Delilah listen to me very carefully. Do absolutely nothing and don't reveal your true identity either. This may not even be your father. The BAU has many enemies and I don't believe that you're father would ever go after them. I think if it was him, he would just aim for you."

A relief falls off of Delilah's chest hearing the words come out of Emily's mouth.

"Thank you Emily. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Anytime Delilah."

Shortly after returning to the team , there stands Spencer, Blake and Garcia as the rest of the team had left to visit the crime scene.
