   Emily was a mystery to almost all of the BAU. Random phone calls and texts disturbed her night and day. Bella caught on to her strange behavior almost immediately, the rest of the team slowly noticing it as well. 

   A series of murders began to haunt the team, people being murdered in their homes and the homes being completely up in flames later. It was strange to the team that someone in each of the households was European, clearly tying these cases together.

   The team knew that whoever these people were, they were dangerous. They were on a mission. Derek and Emily had gotten into a shootout with the unsubs, striking fear in the rest of the team. One of the unsubs had been shot and killed, a bullet going through his wrist to blow off a tattoo. These unsubs were brutal, they had people they wanted to kill. 

   Eventually the team was able to come up with a name. The second Bella heard it, she felt a chill run down her spine. Ian Doyle. 

   "Ok, Ian Doyle's officially on everyone's list," Penelope said, her eyes glued to the computer in front of her. "His mug is all over the place. He's not going to be able to get out of the district unless he sprouts wings himself."

   "It's not that I'm not happy that we have his name," Ashley began. "But how are we supposed to know who's on his list?"

   "We study his life and every single person he's ever come in contact with," Derek answered. 

   Emily gulped, "Doyle's been away for 7 years, but he still managed to figure out who the players were. Maybe we should start with how he got out of prison."

   "Was Doyle on your radar when you were at Interpol?" Hotch asked.

   "Uh, sure," Emily answered. "I had heard of him, but direct contact? I'd have to ask around."

   "Good guys and bad guys keep files close to them," Rossi said. "It's intel, insurance, protection for times like this."

   "Maybe I should go to Bryon Delaney's house and see what I can find," Derek said. 

   Hotch nodded, "Take Prentiss with you, she might have some insight."

   Bella kept to herself quietly, drowning in all the voices in the room. She felt sick, like someone had punched her in the gut as hard as they could. This entire case she could feel Spencer's eyes burning into her skin. He wanted to reach out and hold her, he could feel the pain radiating off of her. It was clear that she was nervous and not feeling well.

   "Bells," Penelope said softly, breaking the blonde out of her pain filled thoughts. Bella perked her head up as Penelope offered a small grin. "Do you know what language this is?"
