Chapter 12: She's Alive?

Alex’s P.O.V

It had been just under 6 weeks but Hotch had called me into work. He had just returned from service in Pakistan and desperately needed a shave. He called everyone into the round table room.  “ a couple months ago I made a decision that affects this entire team, as you know Emily had lost a lot of blood after her fight with Doyle but the doctors did manage to stabilize her and she was airlifted out of Boston to start under cover rehabilitation  her identity was strictly need to know she stayed there until she was well enough to travel then she was sent to Paris were she was given several new identities none of which we knew,” he sighed
“she’s alive?” whispered Garcia
“But we buried her?” Reid was a surprised
“you lied to us,”I exclaimed
“as I said I take full responsibility for the decision if anyone has any issues they should be directed towards me  ,”
“any issues, yeah I got issues,”
JJ and Hotch turned their heads and acknowledge the new comer into the room
“oh my god,” Garcia squeaked as Emily Prentiss entered the room
“I’m so sorry, I really am, there is not a day that went by that I didn’t want to, really I, you didn’t deserve that and I am truly sorry,” she said hugging everyone I removed the tiara necklace from my neck and placed it around hers as she hugged me “I hoped someone would find that box,” she said inspecting the charm “there’s so much I want to tell you and I will but right now I have got to find out what is happening with Declan,”  
“Emily was there a man living at the house?” asked Reid
“yes my friend Jarred  Collar he was raising Declan as his own,” explained  Em
“where is he now?” JJ question
“I never saw a man go in or out of that house,” agreed Garcia
“he’s on assignment overseas,” Emily sounded tired she has had a long flight
“but he’s alright,” JJ asked
“yes he is on his way back now he got a call from Declan he called me, and when I landed Hotch told me you had Doyle in custody,” Emily was doing a lot of explaining
“and because of Jared’s line of work you enrolled Declan in boarding school,” asked Hotch
“I made sure only myself, Maria and Jarred were the only ones allowed to take him of campus,” Emily explained
“Maria took him home last night  because he got sick,” Reid stated
“food poisoning,” Hotch agreed
“a few of the kids had it, so whoever did this got to him on campus, and only had one chance,” Reid explained further
“current suspect is Richard Gerace, he is the most recent arrival into the state we’ve been tracking his whereabouts through the city but came up empty,” informed  JJ
“we, we know its him we were able to ID him through the scar,” stuttered Garcia
“that doesn’t make sense, Gerace gave up on Doyle a long time ago,”  Emily was confused
“he said that you were the only one who knew  Gerace,” Dave said referring to Doyle
“which is why am pretty sure he doesn’t have the balls to pull this off, there was no forced entry at the house,” Emily replied referring to Gerace in her typical no nonsense way
“I had two agents working the house,” Morgan sighed
“we think Gerace and his partner posed as the next shift,” Reid added
 “which means his partner is a woman,” I added the only information I could I had about as much information as a limpet
“she’s the alpha,” exclaimed Emily
“so were looking for a woman who is getting back at Doyle,” asked JJ
“and our suspect list just got a whole lot longer,” sighed Emily
it turns out Doyle had quite a thing for brunettes, and was also quite the ladies man.  Just fewer than 45 women would all pay to see Doyle on his knees begging for his life. But only one knew of Declan.

Chloe Donaghy was Declan’s mother. Doyle kept her chained to a bed for 7 months of the pregnancy. She wanted Doyle to suffer and had grabbed Declan as a plan to get money from a man named Lachlan McDermott. We managed to intercept the partners as they were planning to leave the country. We offered them a trade, Doyle for Declan. Chloe had been shot in the shoulder by McDermott. And as revenge she shot him in the back of the head and then started firing at Doyle. Reid fired several shots into her chest. Both Chloe Donaghy and Lachlan McDermott were dead. Doyle was barely alive. He reached his hands out to Declan who was being held in the arms of Emily; Declan reached out to Doyle and mumbled. “I remember you.”

No matter how hard Emily had tried. Declan’s past had managed to catch up with them and I doubt Declan is going to want to let it stay at that. He would want an explanation. I felt sorry for Emily I know that I am dreading the day that I have to tell Anastasia about her father and that is in at least a few years.

Emily’s P.O.V

 Declan was save but the fight wasn’t over. We were expected in court in a few days the days past quicker than I hoped. I spent them getting reacquainted with the team and Sergio who Garcia had taken care of for me. I met Alex’s Daughter Anastasia Stephanie Emily Rossi. I could tell this child was going to be spoilt rotten. By Rossi, Alex and Garcia she was a little cutie with a big toothless smile and bright blue eyes. She looked very much like Alex. I think Alex hoped that she didn’t look anything like Wailand and of course Alex could still see traces of him in the child.

During the court case each member of the team had to speak. Say why what we did was necessary it wasn’t until we were all in a room together pleading our case that things got a bit snappy. “You have a child at home and you were told by both your unit chief and your section chief to stay away from the bureau for at least 6 weeks so there for you disobeyed direct orders,” the senator jabbed at Alex.
she was just about to reply when Hotch stepped in and defended her “forgive me senator, but our teams section chief was on holidays when Alex first went on maternity leave she was only informed by me to not come into the Bureau, also I called Alex the as soon as I landed in DC, so which order was Alex supposed to disobey, the order that kept her sitting at home not doing much or the order that helped save a little boys life,”
“I was not addressing you agent Hotchner,”
“I completely agree with agent Hotchner, if you were given two different orders that juxtaposed one another which would you take, the first that puts you in a state of boredom and self regret knowing you could be following the second order which may put a international criminal into a place where he can no longer hurt others and save a little boys life, which would you chose,” Alex asked
“that is enough miss Stedler,”
“my question was not a rhetorical one, which order would you follow,”
“the later of the two,  but I am not the one on trial, I still don’t see how this entire team is supposed to be the expert in behavior yet you find nothing wrong with yours,” spat the senator “all of you may go, except you miss Stedler and agent Prentiss,”
everyone left the room Garcia and Rossi patted us on the way out as soon as the doors were closed senator Cramer   attacked us in a harsh voice. “the pair of you started a vendetta against Ian Doyle years ago, that this team had to finish an sans a result seven people including two of our agents are dead,”
“forgive me senator, but I am confused, how did I start a vendetta against Doyle I didn’t even know who he was until we started working the case three months ago.”Alex’s voice was riddled with confusion as she replied to Senator Cramer
“don’t play dumb with me child, Doyle killed your mother eleven years ago, now did you or did you not want revenge?” spat the senator
“yes I wanted revenge for the death of my mother, and for the beating unleashed on agent Prentiss, but wanting revenge and doing something vengeful are two completely different things,” she replied in a tone of great annoyance, “and for your information I did not realize Doyle had killed my mother until he was in federal custody,”
“miss Stedler calm down, does it look like your little hissy fit is affecting me.” Alex grimaced at her sir name she hated having a connection to her father yet Rossi wouldn’t let her change it. She slumped in the seat beside me but did not look very happy.
“The actions my team were not procedure, I’ll admit that, but please do not punish them punish me,” I said looking directly at the senator who was glaring at Alex.
“Miss Stedler, you may leave,” Senator Cramer spoke in a clear tone but the anger was hidden in his voice.

Alex stood and stormed out and I was alone with the senator. “You and your team used government funds to fuel your own personal plot against Ian Doyle,” he spoke in a precise- aggravated voice and I knew I had to convince him the team had done the right thing. Otherwise this entire team will be out of a job and there will no longer be a BAU.

“This entire team did what needed to be done to save a little boy’s life, there were some causalities I will admit it but four of those casualties were international criminal who would have had a short stay on death row,” I spoke calmly and quickly praying to the heavens above that I could convince the senator, “each member of this team did what needed to be done to  up hold their oath of office, each of them serve there oath with integrity and honor the words I, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
