After Being Found

Chapter 28

    After my phone call with Garcia, I went into the bathroom to calm down. As I was opening the door someone pulled me in. I was spun around and saw Emily."Emily?" I said getting the hair out of my face.
"Ok, it's just you."
"What's wrong?"
"My phone keeps going off, and I'm trying to avoid it."
"Who is it?"
"In scared that it's the call from Hotch about-you know....him!"
"Emily, I bet it won't be that bad. He's probably just checking on us?"
"Ya-you're right-of course. I didn't think of that."
"Of course. Can I stay with you while you answer?"
"Sure, but if something happens, you can't tell anyone till I ok it."
"Of course."We left and she grabbed her phone, and we rushed back to the bathroom like teenage girls(😒). She was very hesitant to answer, she was really scared. I put my hand on her shoulder and realized that her heart was speeding up as it was ringing. Within a minute her eyes started tearing up, and her hand over her mouth. I wanted to ask what's going on but she mumbled I can't do that."Do you have this Andrew Grayson in custody...no of course not!" She quickly said goodbye and hung up."I need to talk to Rossi, then we as a team need to talk!"
"Is everything ok?"
"No."
"Emily-here your makeup is running." I handed her my makeup bag and remover.
"Do you always carry that with you?"
"I just used it."
"You ok?"
"In the middle, it's scary!"
"I second that!" I understood my situation but I'm not sure why it was for her case.
"What is it?"
"The worst of worst happened." I couldn't say anything, I got up and walked out of the room."Please, just don't tell anyone?"
"Of course."
"Thank you, so much." I smiled and went back to everyone. They all stared at me, and realized I had a spot of eyeliner on my white blouse. I think they were smart enough to know it wasn't mine.
"You'll find out soon enough." I said looking down. No one said or did anything."Anyways, let's dig deeper into Andrew Grayson's life."
"Where'd you get that name?" Alex said.
"I-I don't-" Emily walked in the room and all eyes then went to her. I sighed in relief, I would've said everything if she hadn't come in the room. She looked like she didn't cry at all, but had that look in her eyes.
"What's with all the girls lately?" Morgan said looking at each of the ladies in the room.
"Do you really want to know?" Bishop said raising her eyebrows. I smirked, and Spencer looked horrified."I mean Mackenzie has an excuse!"
"Um, I think I'll stay out of this!" Morgan said when we all surrounded him, except Emily and I. I think it's because we knew something and they don't.
"You two seem upset."My dad said hugging us.
"And that's where I've got to talk to the David Rossi!" Emily said.
"Everything ok?"
"(I know where she got that name.)"
"Ok, lets go." They walked away and we went back to work. Though I was talking and participating, my head went in two different directions, one side with Krista, and the other wondering what's going on. I started getting lost in thought and hungry."Is there a good Thai place around here?" I asked randomly.
"No, but there's an awesome Asian." Bishop said.
"I'm up for Asian."
"Great, I know where to go. Anyone else?" She said. Everyone stood up and we grabbed some files to read while we eat, but Bishop grabbed files, her computer, and a punch card."I go to Asian a lot."
"Really?" I was surprised.
"Actually I get something different every time-it's easy to remember later on."
"I like that method!"
"Thanks." We all left and realized I've been doing everything the doctor told me not to do!
      After we ate my phone dinged....Emily wants the team to meet at the hotel. I notified them, and we left for the hotel. The whole car ride there I was thinking about what Emily was saying, I knew that something happened."Mackenzie you've been off since we left." My dad said as I put my head on his shoulder.
"I bet you know both sides." I said almost in a whisper tone.
"Unfortunately I do."
"Yup, I don't know the full story yet but I know the basics."
"I wish I could say the same." He said holding something back.
     We got to the hotel and I got out first  and tried to get to Emily before anyone else.....but Spencer and my dad grabbed my arms."What's this about?" I said annoyed
"The doctor said no running till you're fully healed!" My dad said.
"Half the things I've done the past few days I wasn't supposed to do!"
"You're right, but this was one of the big things you can't do!"
"Fine but-I can't think of anything, it's all going to a certain thing." I looked at my dad, he understood but Spencer didn't understand.
"I'm right there with you!" He said as we got to the door. We went to the front desk and the lady stood there staring at me.
"Excuse me, can I help you?" I said.
"You just look familiar to me."
"What's your name?"
"Elisabeth Grayson-it might be that my husband showed me a picture of you two."
"Who's your husband?"
"Andrew Grayson? Are you trying to tell me you don't know him?"
"I know who he is, but-stay here do NOT leave this building."
"What did I do?"
"I have some questions about your husband!"
"He didn't do anything!"
"We'll see soon won't we?!?"
"What?"(Triggered) We went to our rooms and I saw one of the rooms open. We walked in with caution, but it was just Emily standing there waiting for us.
"Emily, is it something about the phone call?" I said sitting on the bed closest to her.
"Y-ya." Everyone looked at us, and my dad walked up."You know how we are looking for Andrew?" We all nodded.
"He was seen watching Jack at his soccer game. Before Hotch could react, Andrew was gone. So, Hotch basically made up that he had a case so he could be with Jack, even though they assigned officers to him 24/7." My dad added in, and no one said anything or did anything.
"He was also seen at Jack's school. Hotch and Jack went into witness protection. Hotch didn't want anything else to happen to happen to his family, so he handed in his regulation form." I felt my heart sink, I knew exactly what she's going to say next, and I don't want her to say it.
"Is it that he can't talk to his friends anymore? Or even family?" I said looking up at Emily and my dad.
"Unfortunately, yes. Hotch and Jack had to go off the grid, so they can't talk to us-ever. Hotch asked if Emily could step in for him specifically." My dad said.
"We should talk to his wife, at least she's the closest thing we have against him right now!"
"I wish I could see you interrogate her, but you are to emotional right now!"
"I think we need to go to bed, bring Mrs. Grayson with us back to Quanico, and you and Spencer can be with your family."
"Fine, but-"
"No buts!" I walked out of the room and went next door to our room. I wanted to scream, this was the worst day in a long time. I said to myself, Why does this always happen to me? First leaving my baby, Krista falling to the floor trying to breath, then Emily crying in the bathroom, and now Hotch left us! I lied down on the bed and felt a cold hand on my shoulder. I didn't need to look to know it was Spencer. He came up beside me on the bed and removed the pillow from my arms."You're getting in that mood again." He said giving me the worried face.
"All things coming at me at once! I know I'm not the only one, but this really makes me think of when I came into the BAU."
"How so?"
"John."
"You cannot compare anything to that! We all know that when that happened, you were at your lowest of low."
"Yes, but I feel like we need to leave tonight!"
"Why?" I checked my phone, 10 unread messages from Savannah, 22 from Penelope all saying to come soon. I showed him and we sighed.
"Krista needs us right now!"
"You're right, I'll go talk to Emily real quick." He got up, kissed my cheek and went out.
      When he came back I was already asleep with the pillow in my arms, the same one he removed from my arms. He woke me up and told me to start packing everything, the jet's leaving in and hour. I got up and hugged him, I didn't want to let go. We stood there for a good 10 minutes and let go to start putting the few things we took out in our bags.
So I know that the unsubs are completely different but I wanted to make it so it's not copyright or anything! THAT EPISODE MADE ME CRY!!
