You are not alone

Reunion

About two hours later social services had been notified and the social worker was on her way with Catherine. Emily was nervous, it had been a while since she las saw Catherine and what she was going through was hard.

Voices brought her out of her thoughts. It was the social worker looking for the detective.

"Emily!" Said a teenage girl who ran to her.

She opened her arms to give a hug to the girl that she haven't seen in some time. As soon as she hold her, the girl hug her so tight like she was holding for dear life.

"Cath, oh sweetheart I'm so sorry. Come here, everything is going to be alright." She tried to assure the frightened girl.

"Thanks for coming, after they told me dad was dead I didn't know what was going that happen to me. I'm glad he listed you as my guardian, I was afraid I would have to go into foster care." Said the girl.

"Of course honey, even if I wasn't listed as your guardian I would have come for you, I wouldn't have let you go to foster care." Emily turned around to greet the social worker. "Emily Prentiss" she presented herself.

"Mary McAllister, I'm in charge of Catherine's case. You are listed as her legal guardian, if I remember correctly?" Said the social worker.

"Yes, I am. I would like to know what I have to do now, I mean what do I have to do to take her with me."

"Well, firs I need you to fill in these documents and sign, also we need to talk about her living arrangements, I was told you don't live in the country so I need to know if she will be staying here and you'll move England or she is going to the States." Informed the Mary.

Emily hadn't thought about about it, she just assumed Catherine would come to DC to live with her, so she turned to see what the girl wanted.

"Cath, would you like to come live with me in DC? If you wat to stay here we can see what we can do, I mean you could stay in your boarding school and I could look for a job over here..." Emily wasn't even finished with the option when Catherine interrupted her.

"I want to live in DC with you, I really don't mind where we live but I know your life there and i just want to be with you." Said the girl.

Emily turned to face Mary "Then I'm taking her to the States with me." The girl went to hug Emily, and she reciprocated the gesture with a smile on her face.

"I'll contact social services in the US so they can assign someone to your case then." Said Mary.
