Haunted by the Memory

"My kindness is a choice."
~~~~~
One little girl shouldn't be dropped in the middle of CIA plots and deceptions. Children of any age were too young to understand the patriotic duty to protect their nation at any cost necessary.

Except, here she was, defying orders and making sure they regret ever clawing their way into her life. She liked it that way.

She didn't expect to run into Doctor Spencer Reid.
~~~~~
The BAU has a bad habit of sticking their noses in places it shouldn't be.

When there's an opening to investigate an incident that left a hole Spencer's life, the team is all-hands on deck. He let that little girl slip from his grasp once, but he'd never let it happen again.

But the answers the team uncovers may too much to bear.

OR

Parental! Spencer Reid with a genius adopted kid who likes to disappear on him.
