The walls she placed around herself as a child are built high and she's determined not to let anyone see who she really is. The only problem is that that 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐮𝐤𝐞 𝐀𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐳 is more than ready to come barreling through said walls and pull her out of the dark because knows what it's like to barricade yourself from people who can help.

A homicide in Louisiana makes the BAU revisit a series of old murders in the area that follow the same MO. And soon they discover that the case is much bigger than they originally thought. During the investigation, Agent Hotchner comes in contact with a number of relatives of the old victims. And one of them sticks out; Sofia Wade. Sofia is tough, driven and she's not shy to ask for the things she needs which includes Agent Hotchner's attention. But her involvement in the case and their big age difference warn Agent Hotchner to keep his distance.

"You work this case like you work any other" I tell him as I look up at his tall frame from my sitting position at my work desk. I look back down and start to read the files of the new case. His hands forcefully land on the corners of my desk, but my eyes never falter from the witness reports. His large hand connects to the bottom of my chin, his thumb gripping the top of it, strong enough to separate my lips slightly. "You don't need to explain how to do my job to me Isla." He whispers as he stares straight into my eyes. I slyly smirk and lean closer to his lips stopping centimeters from them. "Well someone has to Mo-" I start to say before his lips forcefully enfold mine shutting me up. ★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★*ﾟ*☆*ﾟ*★ Isla Del la Cruz worked hard to get to her new position at the BAU.

"To live every day as if it had been stolen from death, that is how I would like to live. To feel the joy of life, as Eve felt the joy of life. To separate oneself from the burden, the angst, the anguish that we all encounter every day. To say I am alive, I am wonderful, I am. I am. That is something to aspire to." - Garth Stein, The Art of Racing in the Rain Published: July 2, 2020 Completed: February 18, 2024 Disclaimer: 1.

Any attitude, dialogue, or behavior they display is purely fictional except for references to their real career wins and performances. 2.

I am only human. Thank you for reading and enjoy the ride.
