The Lady and Her Genius.

The meeting no one was expecting.

"So where to now?" Hotch asked as we all looked at the reflection on the water.
"I'm having to assume he wants me to head to the fishing house."
"There's a fishing house?" Derek questioned.
"Uh Yep. It's not used anymore but is used for storage for stuff the camp needs. If I had known this was where he was leading us, I'd have taken the trail."
"There's a trail we could have taken?!" Penelope exclaimed.
"Yeah. We had it made and made sure people knew to take the path, especially when me and Zack discovered the bear trap field." I explained.
"Why isn't it used for fishing anymore?" Emily asked.
"People stopped buying from it?" Rossi asked.
"The opposite actually. It's a lucrative business and they make sure the safety of sea life is ensured when fishing."
"Is that how you had money at a young age?" J asked.
"Oh, kinda. It's under the Hazelnut corporation like everything else now."
"How much money does that girl have?!" Derek asked as I began to make my way to where the place was.
"It's the 6th richest company in the world. Which is under their partnered company, the Cantilever group, which is like 4th..... I think."
"Don't you know the owner?" Spencer asked.
"You know the owner?!" They all questioned.
"A little. He doesn't fully know what I look like but we have had discussions here and there. He's roommates with Zack and another friend of theirs, who is Ashlyn Monroe. Whole thang."
"I feel like my brain is going to explode." Penelope confessed.
"I've known you since you were 16. And I'm just learning all this."
"You never fully asked about my financials and who I knew. Which is why I didn't tell you about Grace and Dave, till like a year or so ago." I explained with a shrug as we walked.

We continued down the path till we reached the old fishing house. Looking at how it looked now, it was safe to say.... This would also need repairing.
"This is the fishing house." I informed as we made our way towards it.
"Why is there so many things falling apart?" Hotch asked.
"They aren't used a lot and often times, people tend to stop going near it when they see it get really bad so they don't risk getting hurt. Which is understandable. So they don't get reported how bad they are getting, unless I come and see it myself. Looked in better shape when me and Zack came down like two years ago, cause we wanted to read in one of the row boats." I explained.
I carefully made my way up onto the porch and got my gun ready, making the others follow in suit, minus Penelope of course.
"Penelope, stay close to someone ok. I would rather you stay out here, but incase someone came rushing out with a weapon, I don't want you to be alone with no weapon." I told.
"I can stay out here with her." Rossi suggested.
"You ok with that?"
"I can fight. You have been teaching me." She told before picking up a stick that looked like it could be a staff.
"Hotch?"
"As long as we are all safe, I'm ok with it. But do stay with someone." He told making her nod.
"Then let's head in." I told before slowly opening a door.
We slowly made our way inside and checked around the place only to not see anyone of thing out of place.
'Nik wouldn't lead us on this chase if he wanted to escape. He wouldn't have come in only to escape.'
We regrouped in the front of the room and we were all confused on what to do.
"We spent the whole day coming to this place, only for there to be nothing." Emily pointed out.
"This just a wild goose chase?" J questioned.
"No Nik does things with purpose. He wouldn't send us on a goose chase, unless there wasn't any purpose to it. We are meant to be here." I stated.
"Your brother is clinically insane River." Hotch pointed out.
"I know he is! But he is still smart! Iq of 190, he knows what he is doing. He says he a go with the flow type of dude, but that's because he has calculated every possible outcome, which allows him to be a go with the flow type. There is just something missing here!" I told trying to think.

"Come here sweetie." Dad told making me sit next to him at the piano.
"What song are you playing?"
"Just one my own mother taught me."
"Can I hear it?"
"Of course." He told as he gave my hair a pat before he began to play the notes.
I swayed side to side as I listened to them before he began to sing.

"Let's go in the garden
You'll find something waiting
Right there where you left it lying upside down
When you finally find it, you'll see how it's faded
The underside is lighter when you turn it around

Everything stays right where you left it
Everything stays
But it still changes
Ever so slightly, daily and nightly
In little ways, when everything stays......"

I snapped out of my memories to remember the piano room.
"I'm stupid. How could I not remember?" I questioned myself.
"Remember what?" They all asked.
Before I could answer, we began to hear a faint melody coming from somewhere in the place. We slowly made our way towards it and I opened the door that lead to the basement which was where they used to do all the packaging when they used to do business here. We slowly made our way down the stairs and as we grew closer, the louder the melody got. We came to the second door at the bottom of the stairs and I slowly opened the door, allowing the music to become clearer. We walked in to see a man playing the piano not knowing we were there. I took a step forward to get closer, only to cause the floor board to creak, signalling he wasn't alone.
"Was curious how long it was going to take you guys to get here." He confessed before he sat straight and turned around to look at us.
'It can't be!'
Once his eyes locked with mine, he gave a smile and tilted his head slightly to the side.
"Hey Munchkin. Long time no see."

"Dad?!"
