They arrived back at Wills house Evvy put her stuff in the spare room. Then called her dad. She sat waiting for him to answer. After two trys Spencer answered. "Hello darling are you okay?"
She responded with "I'm okay just missing you." Evvy heard some muttering through the phone. Spencer said "Evvy we have a case I gotta go."

"Daddy when are you coming home?"

"I don't know as soon as possible."

"Okay I love you."

"I love you too Darling. I'll be home soon."

"Bye dad."

"Bye darling." Spencer hung up. Evvy just sat on the bed trying to not cry. She felt alone.

Meanwhile. After Spencer hung up he realised how much he was missing his daughter he was fighting back tiers. JJ came in and said "Are you okay?"

"Yes just missing Evvy."

"I get." At that moment everyone else walked in. They continued with the case.

Back in Virginia. Will knocked on the door of what might as well have been Evvy's room. He said "Evvy we are gonna get pizza tonight is that okay?"

Evvy responded with "As long as its gluten free."

"I know Evvy. Are you okay?"

"I just miss my dad."

"Okay. I know I am not your dad but get your pj's on we are gonna have a movie night."

"Okay Uncle Will, I'll see you in a bit." He left. Evvy hot up and went into her bag she grabbed some clean pj's out. She jumped in the shower. After she showered she got her pj's on. Then she grabbed all of her dirty clothes and took them downstairs with her. Her uncle washed them for her. They did end up ordering pizza and watching some movie before calling it bedtime.

Spencer didn't stop working until Morgan dragged him back to the hotel they were staying in. Morgan went to bed in their room. As Spencer sat up watching videos of Evvy that he had recorded over the years. He was missing his little girl, he missed her every time but he was missing her even more now.

Evvy woke up the next morning and checked her phone. A text from her dad saying 'Morning darling. Have a good day see you soon. I love you.' She replied with 'hi dad just woke up. I love you too.' She got herself dressed and downstairs. She saw her Uncle up and said "Morning Uncle Will."

"Good morning Evvy what's got you so happy today?"

"Nothing. Maybe that I'm nine soon."

"I know how exciting. Breakfast is doen so grab a plate and go sit down."

"Okay Uncle Will."

"BOYS! BREAKFAST!" They came and go there breakfast to. They all sat down around the table and started eating breakfast when the doorbell rang. Will said "Stay here I will be back soon." The children did as they were told and Will went to the door. He opened it and said "Who are you?"

The woman replied with "I am Karol Sanders from DCFS. Is Evelyn Diana Reid here?"

"Yes. What is this about?"

"There is a neglect and abuse investigation going on into her and her father. Is here father here?"

"Oh my. Her father is not here he is doing his job so she is staying here with me and my children."

"I'm sorry about this but I need to come in and see Evelyn then take her back to DCFS with me."

"Okay." Will was stood there shocked. He opened the door more and let the woman in. She came in and will got Karol to sit on the sofa. He went and got Evvy. She sat next to her uncle. Evvy sat "Are you going to try and take me away from my dad?"
