A year after the tragic death of Maeve Donovan, Spencer Reid hasn't been able to fully recover. It may not be possible to recover from something so horrible. That is, until a strange rape and murder case take place smack in the middle of D.C, and brings the BAU to try and help the DCPD try and find the perpetrator. In doing so, Reid meets Kennedy Russo; a twenty-nine-year-old detective with the police department. She has taken an large interest on this case, and Reid has taken a large interest in her. But even a white rose has a black shadow, as Kennedy has a past that's coming to catch up with her. Will she except Spencer's help and open up? Or will she push him away like everyone else? A/N: Despite how well written they are, I don't own anything really, mainly just Kennedy and other original characters
