Emily sighed as she walked into her apartment. She pulled her dark brown hair into ponytail before dumping her handbag in the corridor and turning off the alarm. A small smile escaped onto her face when she found Kayleigh lying asleep on the couch. The fifteen year olds ginger hair was tied in a loose bun with strands falling over her freckled face. She had a black spaghetti strap top on as well as red plaid sweat pants. The woman planted a kiss to the side of her head before pulling a blanket over her and walking into the safe in her own bedroom.

The files on Ian Doyle rested in her hands, she hadn't looked at them in years.

As she sat at the kitchen table she entered her own world as she reread everyone one of her words that she'd written about him. The pictures of her, Sean, Tsia, Clyde and Doyle among the many pieces of paper in the file.

"Mom?" A voice asked, Emily jumped at the sound of her daughters voice.
"Baby don't scare me like that" she sighed, Kayleigh was looking back at her confused.
"Mom what's..." she started but then her eyes were drawn to something on the floor. "Sergio!" She called and picked up the fluffy black cat. "Why are you all wet?" She asked, as she said this Emily jumped up and started saying random stuff as if she was talking to her and Sergio as she walked around the apartment with her gun out. When she got back she seemed worried.
"Did you leave my bedroom window open?" She asked, worry echoing in her voice.
"Yeah, why?" A sigh of relief escaped Emily's mouth.
"Mom, what's going on?" Kayleigh repeated, now even more confused.
"Sweetheart sit down" the mother and daughter sat down on the sofa. "Honey your dad escaped prison, no one can find him" the teenagers eyes widened in fear.
"Interpol will find him, won't they?" Emily sighed.
"I doubt it baby, but I promise he isn't going to get anywhere near you"
"Mom I'm not going to lie to you, he's my dad. I miss him. Even though I know he's evil, he's still my dad who was always there for me and who loved me" Emily sighed and pulled her daughter into a hug from the side.
"Sweetheart he's your dad. I know. You'd rather know he was alright and alive in prison and love him from afar than have him come after you" she nodded, tears slipped out of her eyes. Her head resting on Emily's shoulder.
"Yeah mom, I'd rather know my father was alive and in prison than running around somewhere in the world"

___________________________________________

Kayleigh smiled as she awoke, despite the imminent danger she was in. If anyone who was helping her father figured out who she was and that she was alive, she'd be instantly kidnapped and taken to live with her dad again. She'd rather just leave things as they were, at most she'd like to see her father once before he was thrown back in prison but if she could choose she'd much rather just get told he was back in a prison somewhere in the world.

"Kayleigh honey!" Emily called, the teenage girl walked out her room and down the corridor to the kitchen. The teenager was wearing jeans, a hoodie and heeled boots.
"You need a lift today baby?" Emily asked, the teen nodded.
"If you can mom" she replied, grabbing a piece of toast from the counter.
"Sweetheart you know we're going to have to be extra careful now right?" She nodded, her blue eyes looked down at her shoes before looking back up.
"Yeah I know" she replied, picking her bag up off the floor. Her books weighing it down.
"Do you need that many books?" Emily asked, the teenager shrugged.
"I guess" Emily sighed and walked over.
"Do you want the day off school angel?" She asked, "I don't have a case today you can come to the BAU if you want" the teenage girl nodded.
"Alright, I'll call the school" she smiled and kissed the top of the teens head. "Just bring your phone and anything else you want okay?" The teen nodded and dropped her school bag before leaving the apartment with Emily. The two sat in the SUV, the ride to the office was silent for a minute.
"You know what we're listening to music" Emily pressed a button on the stereo and We Will Rock You by Queen started playing. The teenage girl tried to hide her smile. Emily smiled as she started singing along to the song, within seconds the teenage girl joined in. The mother and daughter sang along to every other song on the playlist. Within thirty minutes they'd parked in the Bereau parking building and were walking toward the elevator.
"Emily!" They heard Derek call, Emily and Kayleigh both turned around. "Kayleigh? What are you doing here princess?" He asked.
"She's not feeling so hot, so we decided that she should come into work with me today. She can help out with filing if she gets bored" Emily answered for her, fiddling with the teens hair. Kayleigh nodded.
"Well hope you feel better soon" he smiled joining them in the elevator.
"Thanks" the teenage girl replied quietly. When the elevator finally reached the right floor Garcia was waiting for them.
"Oh there's my Angel!" She smiled walking over to the teen and embracing her, a chuckle escaped her mouth as she hugged the currently pink haired woman back.
"Hey Pen" she responded.

Within a few minutes the teenage girl was sitting in the family room doing some of her homework. She only had an essay. Within an hour she'd finished it and decided to go see if there was anything she could help with. As she walked down the corridor she felt her phone ping, she pulled it out of her back pocket and saw a message from Clyde flash up on her screen.

Clyde 🤪😋🤣
How are you holding up sunshine?

Clyde was one of her mothers closest friends and also the only other person who knew her true identity. He was like an uncle to her, an epic, funny, amazing uncle. Whenever he came to visit or she went to London he made sure to treat her like a princess.

Not in school today, hbu?

Yes Emily told me you were taking the day off, part of the reason I checked on you. And I'm fine sunshine. I'll be better once we catch him

So will I

I'll see you soon

You're coming to DC?

Safety in numbers or something like that

😂 yeah. Something like that. Tsia and Jeremy too?

I'm not sure, Sean can't reach them.

Kk, c u soon Clyde

Yes, stay safe

I will ly

Love you too x

Kayleigh put her phone back in her pocket before walking into the bullpen.
"Hey Baby, can you take these to JJ for me?" Emily asked, the teenager nodded.
"Clyde texted" she replied, tucking her hair behind her ear. "Just checking I was okay" Emily nodded.
"He's practically your uncle sweetie, he loves you" she nodded.
"We both love him too" Kayleigh replied before walking down the corridor to JJs office.
"Hey Kayleigh" she smiled as the teenager entered, she smiled back.
"Hey JJ, mom asked me to give these to you"
"Thanks Sweetheart"

A few hours later the day was over and Kayleigh and Emily headed home.

"Honey, I need you to make sure you have a bag packed full of clothes in case we need to leave suddenly" Kayleigh nodded, their lives were really just being thrown into a tornado right now.

A few hours later she had a completely packed bag.
