The Love We Found. [A.H]

7: little sister

isabella's pov-

It's 4am on Sunday when I get a phone call from JJ. "We have a case" is all she's said before she hangs up. I groan and get out of bed, as I showed yesterday I throw my hair into a low ponytail and ignore my makeup, I throw my glasses on, and put on a pair of black slacks and a red button up. I don't make coffee with the little time I have and I grab my go bag and go.

I make it to the office right on time, to find a very hungover Emily and Penelope. I take a spot at the table next to Reid and Emily. JJ stands at the front of the room. "This is a missings person case, 9 year old Astrid Drâgos was taken from her home in North Carolina" my heart sinks, everyone looks at me, my baby sister kidnapped? No, how could that happen...? "JJ what else do you have?" I ask, trying desperately to ignore everything that's going on in my head. All JJ does is pass me the file, I open it.

Name: Astrid rose drâgos
Age: 9
Hair color: dark brown
Eye color: blue
From: Romania
Last seen: in her room at 10:30p.m
Last seen wearing: a FBI sweatshirt, and black leggings with her hair up.

I close the file, and look back at the team. "I have a lot of explaining to do." Is all I say. "We can talk about this more on the jet, wheels up in 5." Aaron says and I nod.

We get to the jet and Emily sits next to me, as she knows everything and Aaron only knows some of it. "Alright, we need to know everything" Morgan says and I nod. "I'm from Romania, and my family moved to the u.s when I was 10, they had my sister when I was 20. and me and her are very close, she saw everything my parents put me through. As for me, knowing all the different languages wasn't a choice I made but forced upon me by my father. He wanted a son, he got two daughters instead, he also was abusive both ways..." I stop myself from talking anymore and I run a hand over my face. "he hates that I left, he hates that I'm an FBI agent, that I'm as smart as I am, he hates it, and knowing him, this is probably a sick trick to try and get me to come back home, by kidnapping his own daughter" I finish, the entire team is quite. "îți dai seama că nu poți lucra în acest caz? Știu că vrei și tu, dar nu poți. Pot să încalc regulile suficient de mult încât să te las să ajuți de la hotel, sau poate să te las să stai la secția de poliție, dar fără muncă pe teren."
("do you realize you can't work in this case? I know you want too, but you can't. I can bend the rules long enough to let you help out at the hotel, or maybe let you stay at the police station, but no field work.")
Aarons voice cuts through in Romanian. "știu și apreciez asta."
("I know and I appreciate that.")
I reply and he nods, I sigh.

We end up at the police station and I just sit and watch everyone work as I'm not allowed to. When I get a phone call from my father, I leave the room and walk outside to the back of the police station. "Draga mea fiică, mi-ai fost dor de tine, ar trebui să vii acasă, pun pariu că Astrid i-ar plăcea să te vadă când o vom primi înapoi"
(My dear daughter, I've missed you, you should come home, I bet Astrid would love to see you when we get her back)
he says as I put my phone on speaker, why I don't know, it's a habit. "ticălosule, știu că ai făcut asta, doar așteaptă până obținem dovada. ai luat-o pe sora mea mai mică, vei plăti."
(you bastard, i know you did it, just wait till we get the proof. you took my little sister, you will pay.)
I say angry. He laughs, what I don't notice is Aaron walked outside to make sure I'm okay. "Am luat-o pe Astrid, am nevoie de tine înapoi, n-ar fi trebuit să pleci, ești un idiot, așa de prost pentru FBI."
(I took Astrid, I need you back, you shouldn't have left, you're an idiot, so stupid for the FBI.)
He says. "Nu-mi pasă, nenorocitule, când se întoarce la tine, mă duc la tribunal și fac dosar pentru a obține custodia ei, ca să nu mai aibă de-a face cu tine sau cu mama mea."
(I don't care motherfucker when she comes back to you I'm going to court and filing to get custody of her so she has nothing to do with you or my mom)
I yell before hanging up. "Isabella, calm down," Aaron says, walking up to me. "I can't, he took my baby sister, she hasn't done anything wrong" I say looking at him, my emotions getting the better of me, and in one movement he has me in a hug, something I didn't know I needed until I broke down. "I know...I know Bella, we are going to find her," he says softly. "Aaron..if I petition the court to get custody of her I'm going to need help...I know this is a lot to ask for.." I pause. "Isabella, you helped me with jack, you still help me with jack, I will help you with this, and I'll help you figure out how to parent" he says and I nod. "Thank you" I say and he nods.
