It's 8 in the morning when I walk into the BAU Headquarters. I walk to my station. Agent Morgan is sitting at his desk. Reid, JJ, Hotch, and my sister were all here. They were all sitting at their stations. My sister looks at me worriedly, "Alex, I need to tell you something. Reid found out something today and nobody wanted to tell you!" I look at her confused, she continues," I think you need to talk to Reid". I walk over to the boy genius and say," you wanted to talk to me." He looks at me and he just looks lost and sad," Gideon Said to give this to you". He hands me a letter written in red ink. It was in Jason's handwriting. It said:

Dear Alex,

Knowing you has been the light of my life. I'll never forget your precious smile and beautiful laugh. You an inspiration to us all. You taught me how to see the beautiful things in life. You are the daughter that I never had. I'm truly sorry that I have to leave you like this. I can't do my job anymore. I hope that you keep going and catch the sick minds of this world. I love you kid; I hope you know that. I will keep in touch somehow. I promise.

Yours Truly,

Jason

I sit the letter down and go to the Garcia Lair. I sit my head down on my section. Penn looks at me and rubs my shoulder. Just then JJ walks in, "briefing in 10 minutes guys" I nod and raise my head up. I get up and look at Penn and say," Lets' go catch some criminals." She looks at me and says," are you sure you're ready". While I'm standing there, I put my game face on and quickly respond," I was born ready." I walk out of and head to the briefing room. The entire team look at me Hotch is the first to speak, "Alex, are you going to be okay handling this case." I look at him confused," why wouldn't I be?" JJ hands me the file. It's my sister's case file. Hotch continues," we've taken on your sisters' case." I swallow and nod my head," I'm ready for any case, Sir." He nods and says" okay... but you are staying here. The unsub has one sister... he won't get another." I nod," I understand sir." I am still standing and everyone else is sitting except JJ, who is handing out case files.

I look at the and start thinking to myself. What the hell did I miss. How the hell did I not see this unsub's face. Then I start thinking about how it all happened but before I could look back into my past further, I realize that the team is staring at me. Hotch speaks," Alex are you okay?" I snap out of my thoughts," w-what sir?" He says seriously," I said are you okay? We are talking about a sensitive matter?" I nod my head, "if anyone can find her sir... it would be this team." He nods seriously. JJ briefs the team on the details and location Emily was last seen.

I sit down in my awesome office chair in the Garcia lair. I'm at my desk and then Penn walks in. I'm in deep thought and don't notice her at first. She taps me on the shoulder and says," hey I know Hotch already asked but, are you sure you're okay?" I respond as I turn around," yeah, like I said... if anyone can find her this team can." She sits down and says," You lost Gideon too... how are you doing with that?" I look at her and sigh," he was my best friend... he was the first person I could talk to or even cry in front of since Emily disappeared."

NEXT DAY

I wake to the phone ringing. I answer the phone," Garcia lair, how may I be of service." Its Hotch," Alex... are you alone or is Penelope with you?" I say," Penn went to go get food...I think" He says," I think its best if both of you are in the room for this... call me back when she gets there" I stupidly say," you got it Hot Cheeto." He sounds taken back," what did you call me? " I put my head down and say lowly," that was an inside joke between Jason and I.... I'm sorry sir." Hotch says," don't worry about it... it'll be okay."

After waiting 10 minutes, Penn came back with a few sandwiches. I look at her and sigh. She asks," what's wrong Alex?" She continues when I don't answer," seriously what's wrong?" I look at her sadly," they found something and thought it would me better if both of us were here to hear it." She looks like she's about to cry. I call hotch back. " hey Hotch we are both here." Hotch says," we found some remains in an abandoned house near where Emily went missing.... I'm sorry both of you... they are a match to your sisters." I froze and my mouth fell open. A tear went down my cheek and I drop to my knees. My whole world felt like it was falling apart. Penn is just standing there. She doesn't know whether to sit and cry or just stand there.

I walk home and sit down on my bed. I cry into my pillow. I hear someone walk in and I draw my gun. I point it at them. Its Jason. I look at him as he sits on my bed and pulls me towards him. " she's dead Jason", I say crying. He keeps hugging me," shhh... it's okay" I look up at him as my tears keep getting all over his blue shirt. we lay down on the bed and cuddle he's facing me and I'm facing him. I fall asleep in his arms. He kisses the top of my head.
