I feel like the weight on my shoulders been lifted off a bit. My relationship with Spen is back to normal the same as my dad. Unfortunately, I forgot to inform my dad about Zack's faking death. I should probably let Zack do the explanation instead of me.

Sometimes, each one of us has our own reasons why hiding dark secrets to someone we love. Our reason is not to let them involve our problem and keep it to ourselves. Now I know what Zack feels like to hide someone from we care and they're completely oblivious of what is happening their surroundings.

I wonder how long to keep this secret from her. ~Novilene Cruz

She's The One

Novilene chuckled nervously and steps back away from Reid. He smirked and she squealed being tackled by a hug on him. Reid rubs her cheek against her as Novilene tried to push him away.

"Spen! Come on, it was just an accident." She whined and completely covered in flour just like him.

Both lovers are decided to bake a muffin for their date tomorrow, however, they are throwing flour against each other and Reid manage to cover her with flour.

"By dropping a flour on my face." He spoke sarcastically and peck on her lips. "Totally accident."

"It's not my fault I'm dating a tall guy like you." She blushed furiously and Reid leans his head towards her. "Forgive me?"

"I forgive you. I'm pretty sure that Maricar is not going to be happy seeing the kitchen is a mess." He looked at his surroundings that the kitchen is covered in flour by their war.

"Seeing you two happy makes me smile." They both jumped in surprised and slipped by a flour.

Crash!

"Oh my!" Maricar exclaimed and didn't mean to scare them. "Do you want me to come with you darlings?"

"It's fine, Maricar..." Reid groaned and didn't expect Novilene is on top of his body. "You okay, Lenny?"

"Peachy." She stands up and offers her hand on him. "You?"

"Fine as well." He accepts it and stands up. "Sorry about the kitchen, Maricar."

"It's quiet, alright, sweetie." Maricar assured him and smiling at them sheepishly. "Both of you are injured?"

"We're fine, Ma." Novilene answered. "Do you need anything, mama?"

"Jason called and wants you two for the case immediately." Maricar informed them and stared. "You two need to clean up before going to work. I can take it from here."

"By yourself?" Reid asks worriedly the idea of an elder woman cleaning the kitchen by herself, makes him want to help her.

"Oh, sweetie." She chuckled and shakes her head. "My granddaughter-in-law, Julia, is coming to visit me today. I won't be alone."

"Julia is coming today?" Novilene asks her grandmother and watching the wall clock its 2:00 in the morning.

"Yes, she wants to spend time with me since I ask and steal her away from Ethan." Novilene chuckled and wasn't surprised by Ethan being the possessive husband he is to Julia. "Chop, chop."

She's The One

"He was CIA escort, ok?" Garcia explained whispered to Reid, JJ and Novilene about this case relates to CIA. "It's weird, a little scary."

"What do you suppose this is all about?" JJ asks curiously.

"Call me cynical, but considering it's 2 AM, I doubt it's good news." Reid spoke up as himself and Novilene didn't sleep since they're focusing to do baking.

"Knowing CIA, they must've been screwed up big time." Novilene grumbled and despise CIA so much.

"You must hate them a lot, Lenny." He detects the hatred of her tone.

"CIA and IMF don't get along each other." Novilene spoke up and decided to wear contact lenses. "We did some cases that they passed cold mission towards us. They act like high and mighty among us despite some of them are idiots." Garcia giggled at her statement. "Whatever you guys do, don't mention IMF or me being a former secret Spy Agent. The last thing we're going to worry is they might find out about me, secretly joining a secret organization before."

"In other words, not revealing the fact that you're a human lie detector." He guessed it.

"Yeah and I can think of ways when the person is lying or not." Novilene sighs heavily. "Sometimes the CIA wanted me to be part of their team despite I worked IMF."

"Why am I not surprised?" JJ asks with an amused look on her face. "Cruz, you've been working with them such a young age and people could tell you have a strong potential."

"I'm not an invisible woman, JJ. I have my limits and everyone else does." She reminded her. "Let's hope that this CIA is kind enough to us or being hostile since everyone thinks of us as a threat."

Everyone taking the seat as Hotch started to brief them the latest case. "The CIA's Counterterrorism Unit is engaged in a mission to save one of its informants. They suspect one of their Agent is a mole. Until the identity of that mole is discovered, they've locked down the Unit." Hotch explained as Novilene remembered how Musgrave being the mole of the IMF and nearly killed Ethan and Julia back in China.

"This gives us the opportunity to profile the Unsub up close." Gideon spoke up. "Go ahead."

"John Summers was the CIA's best Field Agent in the Middle East." They showed them the picture of a man in his early 30's. "3 nights ago, he was found in his home in Washington. He'd been tortured and murdered."

"The CIA made it look like suicide." They showed them a different picture of Summers being tortured in Novilene's eyes.

"How'd you like to have that job?" Reid muttered.

"The question is, we don't." Novilene widened her eyes to hear a familiar voice as she turned around to see Zack. "Whatever Unit you join, they tortured more worst than that." He points at the picture. "Look at the wound patterns, especially you, Novilene."

"Zack... you're back... working with the CIA?" Novilene recovered her surprised look. "How did that happened?" Reid and the others looked surprised to see her ex-boyfriend joining the briefing room.

"They seek my help and I also recommended you and your team as well to capture the mole." He smiled sheepishly and stared at Gideon. "I can explain about faking death later, sir. I'm Zack Mendes, IMF Agent."

"You better be Zack." Gideon spoke up and couldn't believe Zack is alive.

Novilene cleared her throat to get back to the subject as Morgan examine the picture. "They come from 2 distinct angles. Different heights." He explained. "One's right-handed and one's left-handed. Looks to me like he was tortured by more than 2 people."

"Mendes, what was Summers working on?" Elle asks him curiously.

"Aaliyah Nadir has been beaten and sexually assaulted at the hands of her husband, Hassan Nadir." Zack answered as they showed them another picture of husband and wife.

"That's how Summers flipped her and got her to work for the CIA." Hotch commented and Zack nodded his head.

"What's the husband's story?" JJ asks curiously.

"He's a diplomat for the Saudi Government, but he's a fund-raiser for major terrorist organizations."

"Aaliyah gave Summers intelligence on terrorist organizations the CIA had never been able to penetrate, organizations Hassan, her husband, funneled money to." Zack pointed out and notice Novilene is masking her dark look about her previous mission on Saudi incident 4 years ago.

"Hassan realized he had a leak?" Novilene asks them curiously.

"Yes, but he didn't know who." Hotch answered. "For Aaliyah's protection, Summers never revealed her identity to the CIA until about 8 weeks ago. CIA arranged papers for her, and Summers brought her and her children to the US about a month ago." They showed the picture of a woman with her two children, one girl and one boy.

"Only Summers knew where he hid her." Gideon informed them and wasn't surprised if Zack didn't know where they were hidden.

"What did Hassan think happened to his family?" JJ questioned.

"Car accident. Bodies too disfigured to identify." Zack answered and crossing his arms. "Only the CIA knew it was staged until Hassan arrived in Washington last week under diplomatic cover."

"Only someone in this Unit could have given Hassan information about his family." Reid pointed out they showed another picture of man is talking to someone on the phone.

"And now he's here looking for her. Why us?" Morgan asks Zack since he was the one who recommended them in the first place, not his team.

"Gideon can give you an explanation on behalf of this."

"Over the years, I've conducted psychological evaluations on every field Agent in that Unit." Gideon answered.

"He didn't become a CIA officially more like aiding them temporarily." Zack explained it to them when he researched a bit of Gideon's life before seeing them.

"The train's running. And if we stop this mission, even for a second, Aaliyah and her children are as good as dead." Hotch informed them.

"Brassel didn't send you here for a reason, Zack." Novilene spoke up and stared at him. "I believe there's more than that behind the CIA mole."

"You always read me like a book, Serenity." He sighs and got caught by his lies. "It's true, there's more than that. Disavowed every IMF Agents that betrayed us."

"You can't be serious!?" Novilene exclaimed and slamming her hands on the table. "How does this link to Hassan?"

"Brassel believes that this mole is putting the blame on us and there could be a chance they might shut us down, kill every Agent that involves IMF. That's why he sends me to prevent it from happening." He stared at her dark brown eyes.

"Does Ethan know about this?" Gideon asks and covering his fear of losing his daughter again.

"Yeah, he's going to be careful and protecting his wife despite he's no longer active like Novilene." Zack answered and sighs heavily.

"What do you mean by disavowed?" Garcia asks Zack and Novilene curiously.

"It's a taboo subject for us..." Novilene spoke up and Ethan experienced it before because he was accused of killing the German Prime minister and almost got killed by them. "Whoever betrayed us... he or she must be killed."

"Woah, woah, woah, you can't actually mean that, mini Gideon?" Morgan asks the young woman curiously.

"It's true, once you join. There's no turning back and accept death if you ever betray us." Zack spoke up in a grave tone. "He sends me and knows that you're going to involve with this case, considering you're BAU Agent not IMF."

"That sly man..." Novilene grumbled and going to have a drink a lot of coffee. "What happens now that you're here with us?"

"Knowing the CIA... one of you guys are going to stay here and do something." He shoved his hands into his pockets. "I'll stay here in case something goes wrong."

"Brassel send you here for a reason." She pointed out.

"To protect your team in case there is a mole in here. Brassel said and I quote, 'Tell Agent Cruz-Gideon to cooperate with you to stop the mole before anyone gets killed. Especially I don't want to be murdered by her stepbrother, Agent Hunt.' I'm not surprised if Ethan is still overprotective on you." He shrugged and stared at her. "Your mission, should you choose to accept it?"

"Seriously?" She raises her right eyebrow at him. "That phrase is getting old."

"Answer?"

"Yes, I'll accept the mission." She sighs heavily since Zack is joining the mission with her this time.

"Cruz-Gideon?" Garcia asks with a skeptical look on her face.

"When I join the IMF they've known me as Cruz-Gideon through my files." Novilene explained and shrugged. "I change my surname as Cruz... since my parents are divorced..."

"Sorry to drag into this mess, guys." Zack changes the subject and knowing Novilene is a bit sensitive when it comes to her family. "Brassel thinks it's a good idea sending one team and knowing that Novilene is going to involve with this."

"Don't worry, Mendes." Morgan assured him. "Mini Gideon is part of our team and we'll be damned if anything goes wrong."

"You have an interesting team, Serenity." He smiled and knowing there's nothing to be worried about her joining this team.

She's The One

The whole BAU team are worried that the mole might target Novilene despite she used to work IMF Agent.

"Don't remove your firearm." Gideon ordered them and knowing Novilene had one of a secret technology up on her sleeves.

"U.S soil. Federal building." Hotch commented sarcastically.

"I didn't expect meeting your ex could happen to be this case, Nov." Elle spoke low enough to let Novilene hear it.

"You have no idea..." Novilene whispered back and sighs heavily.

"Just your cell phones. Non-negotiable." The officer informed them as they handed their phones.

"The moment we gonna walk there. The Unsub's gonna know we got him cornered. We don't hand jack him." Morgan advised Reid.

They went inside of the CIA's bullpen as Elle and Reid feel intimidated at their surroundings while the others don't.

"Hey." One of the CIA Agent came in to greet them.

"Special Agent Hotchner." Hotch introduced himself and raises his arm.

"Oh, I know who you are and your team, too." He didn't shake Hotch's hand as he lowers it. "I've got personnel files all set up for you guys. Video, whatnot. It's all there in the conference room. If you have any questions, feel free to talk to my senior officers. This is Gina Sanchez. She's the Associate Director of Field Operations. And that guy up there is Kruger Spence, the Assistant Director of Operations. The lady with him is his second in command Olivia Hopkins. And thank you for coming."

Now they realize why Novilene loathed them so much because they could be so arrogant and never been ask anything if they need something.

"Hmm..." Bruno Hawks stares at Novilene curiously and it clicks him. "The famous Novilene Cruz, you're friends with Lia Snow, am I correct?" He asks her curiously.

"Yes, sir." Novilene narrowed her eyes at him but didn't say anything at all.

"It's a pity that she didn't join CIA but NCIS instead. She's going to be a great asset that goes for you." He sighs heavily.

"What Agent Snow choose, has nothing to do with me." She mentally bit her tongue before saying unpleasant things towards this arrogant CIA Agent. Otherwise, Novilene might be in trouble for talking back who is more superior than her.

"Clearly since you two work in different fields. If you change your mind, we always welcome you, Cruz." He walked away from them.

Novilene mentally sighs heavily and counting the numbers from 1-10 to calm herself down. She hates them so much and wanted this case to get over with.

She's The One

"We're looking for what the CIA classifies a type-A personality." Gideon spoke up once they're in the briefing room. "Overachiever, highly adaptable, well educated, virtually unshakable. Manipulative enough to persuade a loyal foreign national to betray their country or a wife to betray her husband. Most importantly, this unsub long ago accepted the reality they will be summarily executed if caught. Life means nothing to this unsub. Not his own life. Not his family's. Not his colleagues. Certainly not ours. And certainly not theirs."

Novilene mentally thinks this unsub could be a rogue Agent but decided to keep her thoughts to herself as she read the files.

"One of those Agents turned against everything they believe in. Why?" Hotch asks curiously.

"Well, he stopped believing. Maybe it was about ideology." Morgan suggested.

"We need to find the stressor, a major event that caused him to turn love, revenge, economics, ideology."

"The Intelligence Community's mantra says, 'increase the parameter of your enemies paranoia.' " Novilene spoke out loud. "Right now we're the enemy."

"Novilene is right. Whatever you see or are told, please trust no one but me or Novilene." Gideon spoke up since the CIA haven't no clue about her being a retired IMF Agent as Zack is secretly disguised himself as secret Agent of Brassel.

"Gideon, you're gonna want to take a look at this surveillance video." They heard Garcia's voice through the speaker of the briefing room.

"What is it?" He asks and faces the screen to see JJ, Garcia and Zack are video chatting them.

"It's you. It's your name next to a whole slew of MPEGS. There's one that says 'John Summers' it's 3 hours long." Garcia explained as it shows the video of him inside of his car.

"When was this?" Hotch asks Gideon.

"3 days before he was killed." Gideon answered.

"Who call this meeting?" The man, John Summers questioned Gideon.

"Does it matter?" Gideon asks the CIA Agent.

"Every detail matters." He answered and leaning the car lightly. "It can only be 1 of 4 people."

"Why is that important?"

"Whoever requested this wanted more than just an eval from you." It stopped the video.

"Sir, did you know they were filming you?" Novilene asks her dad curiously.

"I assumed they were." Gideon answered.

"Taking in all factors discussed- age, rank and field status- and if you eliminated all non-field Agents, we're left with a total of 16 candidates." Reid spoke up and mentally worried about Novilene might be targeting next for this case.

"All of whom are in this Unit." Elle pointed out and Novilene hums in agreement.

"We have to assume the mole has an exit strategy." Gideon informed them.

"Only now we're blocking the exit, and the only way out is through us." Hotch spoke up.

She's The One

"We all know why BAU are here." Hawks announced it to everyone. "They have their job and we have ours. And we're down to the wire on this. Aaliyah Nadir risked everything, and now she and her children deserve our fullest attention. Let's find her."

Novilene crosses her arms in deep thought and it irritated her the way Hawks giving her a glance to persuade her enough to be with his team.

"Hey." Reid patted her shoulder to come to her sense back. "You okay?"

"They just don't know the meaning of no, Spen." Novilene whispered and sighs heavily.

"Gideon, the others and I won't allow that to happen." Reid assured his girlfriend knowing it's eating her alive. "Let's see what Morgan seek."

"That's a woman sitting in the passenger seat of that car." He zoomed in to see one woman and two children.

"Looks a lot like Aaliyah." Elle spoke up.

"That's them, for sure." Novilene blinks her eyes as her contact lense analyze the picture and it was them. "The question is, why would he leave them in the car unless he knew he was being videotaped?"

Gideon rewinds the video and trying to analyze it carefully.

"Who called this meeting?"

"Does it matter?"

"Every detail matters."

"Why?"

"It can only be 1 of 4 people."

Gideon stopped the video. "That's not true. Anyone in this division could have insisted on an eval."

"Why narrow it down to 4?" Elle questioned him.

"Well, he rightly suspected Hassan came to the US because he knew his wife was alive." Morgan pointed out and holding the picture of Hassan.

"And that someone in this Agency was working for Hassan." Reid spoke up and not knowing Novilene is staring the screen in deep thoughts.

"If we don't discover who the mole is before they find her, she and the kids are dead."

"Garcia." Novilene called their tech analyst.

"Right here, Ms Holmes." It showed the screen of herself, JJ and Zack.

"How many Agents in this Unit were actually in Saudi monitoring US interests?" She asks curiously and Reid stared at her surprised how she managed to do it. "I lip reading their lips towards Hawks, Gideon and Hotch a few minutes ago." She whispered to him.

"You have to teach me that." Reid whispered back but he only received a wink response from her.

"Uh, 4." Garcia answered.

"Bruno Hawks, Gina Sanchez, Olivia Hopkins and Kruger Spence. See what else is on the tape, Mendes help them." Novilene ordered her friend.

"You got it." Zack answered as he taps his pointing fingers 6 times silently sending her a morse code. 'Don't worry about us' she translated the Morse code as it ended the video chatting.

"John Summers would have only trusted seasoned Agents, of which in this Unit there are only 4." Gideon spoke up and knowing why Novilene asks that question.

"He guessed that the mole had to have been one of his 4 bosses." Elle pointed out.

"Before he put in for Aaliyah's extraction, he wanted to know which one not to ask." Morgan spoke up.

"We need to match up with them, one-on-one." Gideon suggested and holding the folders as he handed each one of them. "Kruger Spence, Assistant Director of Operations. Recruited at the age of 18 after graduating from MIT."

"It says here had 6 years experience as a weapon systems designer." Reid read it out loud from the information. "And an IQ of 197. He butted up against the system and didn't deal with authority. They moved him into field operations in China for 8 years before transferring him here."

"To think he's more genius than us, Spen. With that IQ of 197, I don't think I could handle it anymore." She shakes her head and focusing the task at hand. "Olivia Hopkins, divorced mother of 2. She spent 9 years in Field Operations in Europe. She also visited Riyadh with Kruger."

"I got Gina Sanchez." Morgan informed them. "West Point graduate. Black belt in 2 martial arts. Served in Iraq doing psychological operations with Military Intelligence. She joined the CIA 5 years ago. Speak 3 languages including Arabic."

"Bruno Hawks, Deputy Director of Operations." Elle read it out loud. "Extensive Field Ops in the Middle East and Europe. Did his military service with Jason Gideon."

"Something you need to explain about that one dad? Considering you knew my life." Novilene pointed out and wasn't surprised if she didn't know her father very well for a fact he was a former military service.

"One thing I've learned over the years profiling CIA Agents, spies are some of the smartest liars in the world." Gideon spoke up and Novilene narrowed her eyes but didn't deny it. "Be smarter." He stared at Novilene as she remained unreadable expression.

She's The One

Novilene noticed her boyfriend is struggling to persuade Spence and decided to help him out. She approached them and smiled politely at the CIA Agents.

"Agent Reid is right that we need to profile Summers before doing Aaliyah first." Novilene spoke up just as Spence about to retort back. "Summers was obsessed with his own security."

"Aren't we all?" He asks sarcastically.

"He didn't care about money or possession or family." Reid back his girlfriend up. "All he cared about was his job. He was a classic control freak, a meticulous paranoid."

"A loaner who chose to live outside the community."

"In an environment that he could control." Novilene pointed out.

"All right. So he would have placed Aaliyah outside the community in an environment only he could environment and have access to." Spence commented and trying to make a conclusion.

"Maybe. On the other hand, he might-" Reid was interrupted by Spence.

"New deal. I want you to search the areas surrounding Summers' apartment." He ordered his team. "We're looking for industrial sights, storage spaces, warehouses." Spence stared at them. "That's good. Thanks." Leaving them alone.

"Thank goodness you're not like them, Lenny." He whispered at her and she smiled. "Thank you for helping me."

"I'm always here for you, Spen." He smiled back. "We always have each other backs."

"Found you, Ms Silent..." The unknown person smirked seeing the target. "I'll have you next and send your dead body towards Agent Hunt."

Novilene narrowed her eyes and turning around to see no one.

"Lenny?" He looked startled at her sudden actions.

"Nothing, it must've been my imagination." She assured him and couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched by someone. "I'll go to the toilet quickly."

"Be quick."

Novilene smiled and went to the women's toilet. She went inside and lock the door then removing her shoes to reveal black small notebook. The young woman opens it and silently send messages to Zack, considering they taken their phone away from them.

Call me paranoid or anything. I heard someone called my IMF codename and it's not a joke. Someone must've leak my true identity.~ Silent

She sits down and closed the toilet. The phone silently blinks to see Zack replied back.

The two guards that are watching us are a bit suspicious. I calm your friends down and not to show any fear towards them or we might get captured or worst. I've given them a plan and not giving them any signal yet as the time comes. Be careful and stick with your friends and lover all the time.

Beta 1, 2 and Alpha are on their way to help me.~Snake

Novilene placed the black notebook back to her shoes and pretends to flush it. She couldn't shake off the bad feeling and decided to follow Zack's advise. Novilene's instincts is telling her that they're going to face two moles instead of one.

"Lenny." Novilene turned around to see Reid is waiting for her outside of the women's toilet. "Hopkins is dead." He whispered and not wanting to get attention from the other CIA Agents.

"Wha-what?" She stuttered in surprised and didn't expect the Unsub could kill one of them.

"Elle found the dead body and we're calling the others to informed them."

"I see..." Novilene nodded her head and decided to tell him about the new information. "Do you know Morse code?" She whispered lowly and Reid gave her a skeptical expression.

"Yeah, why?"

"Good, don't show any emotions or facial expression what I'm going to tap once." Novilene taps the back of his hand. "Got it?"

"Yeah, how come they didn't know about your shoes?" He asks curiously and couldn't believe she has a phone inside of her shoes which is rather disturbing. What makes him more curious how she manages to pass the security without her phone being noticed by them.

"A magician will never reveal her secrets." Novilene winks at him. "We'll tell my dad about this later."

She's The One

"What are we doing here?" Hawks demanded answered from them seeing his other team are here as well.

"You're pulling us away from our assignments?" Spence asks them and Novilene find it ironic how his surname is close to her boyfriend's first name. "There's a woman out there whose life depends on us."

"Where's Olivia?" Sanchez asks and noticed she's missing.

"Olivia Hopkins was murdered 10 minutes ago. Her neck was snapped." Hotch spoke up in a serious tone.

"Just like John Summers." Novilene spoke up and staring at Spence with an unreadable expression.

"What are you talking about?" Spence asks and defended himself of being accused to kill Summers and Hopkins. "You're lying. Where is she?" He noticed that they're telling the truth about Hopkins murder. "Look, people don't just get murdered inside the CIA. What are you looking at?"

"I realize the enormity of this, but Hassan Nadir is still out there looking to kill his wife, and I need every Agent on this." Hawks informed his team as Sanchez and Spence walked out the briefing room.

She's The One

"Just because I lied to Olivia doesn't make me the mole." Spence defended himself as Elle, Reid and Novilene confront him.

"No, but the virus that took out the CCTV monitor does." Morgan spoke up as he approached them. "It originated from your computer."

"Then whoever put it in my computer is trying to frame me." He pointed out and raising his arms.

"Olivia was looking for something. She didn't find anything. You know why? Because all of your files had been erased."

"Do you really think if I was the mole, I would keep files that would incriminate me?" He asks angrily. "Those files were erased to make me look guilty."

"Looks like it's working." Elle commented.

"Morgan, your girlfriend's back." Sanchez informed him.

Morgan took a seat. "Garcia, it's Morgan. Go."

"That virus left a backdoor into the CIA mainframe." Garcia spoke up.

"What about it?" Novilene asks the tech analyst.

"Garcia was struggling a bit and I helped her." Zack spoke up. "We sort of went ahead and used it to find out who ordered John Summers' psych eval with your father."

"Who was it?" Morgan asks curiously and silently impressed that Novilene's ex-boyfriend is great at IT skills as well.

"Well, that's what's so weird." Garcia commented.

"Who, Garcia and Mendes, who?" Elle questioned.

"John Summers." JJ answered.

"What? Why Summers? Why would he order his own evaluation?" Novilene asks curiously.

"So we'd ask that question ourselves." Reid answered and staring at Novilene. "We missed something on that tape."

"We better figure out what it was before Hassan's friend in here beats us to it." Morgan pointed out.

She's The One

"Presidents come, presidents go." Novilene, Gideon, Hotch and Morgan are re-watching the video hoping they could find out some clues. "One thing always remains: the people that run those presidents."

"People like you?" Gideon asks him.

"Me?" He chuckled. "No, no. I'm an expendable pawn. But I got wise to their game."

"Game? What game?"

"Battleship. I'm the ship at sea. They try to sink me."

"How do you cope?"

"Compartmentalization. Separate and seal every aspect of my life."

"How does that work?"

"If one part of the hull is compromised, the rest of the hull remains intact. I stay afloat."

"And what about a direct hit?"

"Then I have a box that I put the really important things in, a sort of insurance policy."

"Against what?"

"Sudden death. Keep it safe from those who appear to be friends and especially that person who is worth for protection."

"He was trying to tell you about the mole. Summers know that your daughter will be in danger." Hotch spoke up and staring at Novilene who's remained blank expression while staring at the screen. "Care to explain, Cruz?"

Novilene pressed something on her watch to hack the CCTV that forbids them to hear their conversation or watching them. She sighs and it could take her 2 minutes to inform them.

"Before you ask question. There's not enough time until they fix it." Novilene informed them and Gideon had a hunch she hacks the CCTV by that watch. "The mole knew my true identity as Silent from IMF. Someone must've leak my information."

"Who? I thought no one but your team knew about it?" Morgan asks her worriedly.

"I don't know yet... Zack had a suspicious as well that the one who guarded them must've been one of mole's Agents. My brother's team are going to help them, rest assured that no harm will come to them." She assured them and looked at the watch. "30 seconds left and no one must have spoken about it... now."

"Did I mention how much I adore you?" He asks cheekily and Novilene rolls her eyes but smiled. "If they were following Summers, how come they don't know where Summers put Aaliyah?" He asks curiously.

"You couldn't follow Summers through a desert. He was that good." Gideon commented.

"Somebody followed you." Hotch pointed out.

"Then Summers must have known they'd be filming him." Novilene spoke up in a grim tone and couldn't shake off the feeling of someone knowing her identity as Silent from IMF. "They always are. So smile."

"Garcia, let's review that tape again." Hotch ordered the tech analyst as they appeared on the screen.

"He sure likes boats." Garcia commented and Zacks hums in responds.

"He refers to compartmentalizing his life like the hull of a ship." JJ pointed out.

"Yeah and then he talks about box." She pointed out as Zack realize something that Summers meant.

"And putting something inside the box as an insurance policy." Zack spoke up and glancing behind him to see two men are watching them like hawks. "He's telling Jason and Novilene how to find Aaliyah."

"You could become a profiler, Mendes." Garcia complimented him as he laughs sheepishly.

"Thanks but I'll stick to my job." He denied the offer to become a profiler. "Besides, I don't think it's a good idea for me being part of you guys."

"I forgot about that." JJ spoke up and cringed that he was ex-boyfriend to Novilene. "Summers cover in Saudi was for a shipping company." She changed the subject and Zack appreciated it.

"Ok. What about a shipping container?" Garcia asks them. "That's a box. A big box." She rambled.

"The only shipping port near Summers' apartment in Baltimore, it's North up the I-95 from Langley." Zack read the information and looked down on the phone to see his team are waiting for the signal while discreetly sends a Morse code for Novilene.

"Garcia, I love you." Hotch spoke up and Novilene frowned seeing Garcia's uneasiness. "Garcia?"

"Someone just tapped into this feed." Garcia found out on her computer.

"We just found out where Aaliyah is and sends some signal to the Unsub based on the information we have." Novilene spoke up and looking outside of the window and already know who did it by Zack's morse code.

"And so did someone else." Hotch spoke up.

She's The One

Everyone is anxious that someone knows where Aaliyah and her children are. They don't know which one of the port they're hiding right now.

"I can have the chopper on the roof fueled and ready in 2 minutes." Sanchez informed Hawks as Novilene mentally shakes her head that it could take some time to find out where they are.

"There are thousands of containers at that port." Hawks spoke up bluntly. "What makes you so sure Aaliyah's in one of those containers?" He asks the BAU team.

"Why don't we send in a SWAT team, split them up, have them search in grids." Elle suggested.

"Why? Because Hassan has diplomatic immunity, this mission can't exist." Novilene informed him.

"It's not Gina." Gideon spoke up out loud. "Morgan and Cruz, take Gina with you."

"Wait. This my command. These are my people." Hawks pointed out that only himself could be ordered them not anyone especially his old friend, Gideon.

"We have jurisdiction here, and there's nothing you can do to stop us." Hotch informed him.

"This is my career on the line here."

Gideon handed the paper to Hotch. "You always trusted me, right?" He asks Hawks and he nodded his head. "Trust me now."

"Come with us." Hotch and Elle approached Spence.

"This is crazy. Bruno." Spence spoke up and doesn't want to be interrogated by them or handed his gun. He sighs and handed his gun to them.

"Go, go, go go." Gideon ordered his team.

"Use the thermal imaging. Search every container for body heat. You can walk us in and direct us when we get there." Sanchez informed them. "Green, Adams, Duncan, come with me."

She's The One

Zack silently gives Garcia and JJ to leave him alone as they discreetly nodded their head. They trusted him because his team are already inside of the building waiting for the two women to get in safety.

"Excuse me, can we go to the toilet?" Garcia asks the two men who're guarding them and they stared at them suspiciously.

"They're only women and the toilet is not that far, Agents." Zack assured them.

"Make it quick." One of the CIA Agent ordered them.

"We will." JJ assured them and hiding her fears as she dragged Garcia away from them. She silently hopes that Zack could be alright despite he's outnumbered.

The two women finally left as Zack suddenly throws the chair at them. He snatches one of the men's arms and kicks the other men's hand to let go of the gun. Zack backflips the men to knock the other Agent. Suddenly, a man came in and help Zack as they strangle each one of them.

"Who send you!?" Zack asks them with a stern expression. "Who ordered you to kill each one of us!?"

"Say goodbye to your precious women..." The CIA Agent chuckled darkly. "Too bad she's going to be dead once they found Aaliyah and her children."

"They're helping Hassan to grabbed Aaliyah and her children. They must've known that Novilene is going to send a rescue mission, Ethan." His expression turned into fearful and stared at Ethan. "They're the bait."

"Why does she has something to do with it!?" Ethan asks angrily and breaking one of his arms. "Tell me!"

"Ethan!" Zhen and Declan approached them as Garcia and JJ followed behind.

"Call Novilene and it's a trap! They wanted her to be killed together with Aaliyah and her children." Ethan ordered his stepsister's friend.

"What!?" Garcia exclaimed surprisingly.

"Do it now!" Zack ordered them and punching the guy to knock him out unconscious.

"This is Novilene Cruz and I'm currently busy right now. Please leave a message with your name and I promise to call-"

"Damn it!" JJ cursed as her phone it went through voicemail. "Garcia traced her phone and we need to save her immediately."

"Zhen and Declan, go after Novilene before it's too late." Ethan ordered his teammates as they immediately went off. "Garcia send them directions where Novilene is, ASAP."

"Go-go-got it!" She quickly went to her computer and traced Novilene's cell while ignoring the fact this man knows her.

"JJ, call the guards and send them to prison." Zack ordered JJ as she nodded and went out of the bullpen.

"Please make it on time." Ethan silently pleads of his stepsister safeness.

She's The One

"They're somewhere on the East side of this Port. You guys, take over that area over there together with Cruz. Morgan, let's go." Sanchez gives them an order.

Novilene and the others go to the other area. She readied her gun and look in every direction to see if Hassan is there with them or not.

"Cruz, you're so close to them now." Novilene heard Reid's voice.

"Copy that." She responds. "Green, Adams and Duncan go to that other side." Novilene ordered them.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" He asks worriedly and they found another two heat signatures.

"I have my own backup." She assured him with a smirk on her face. "If there's one thing you need to know about CIA, always be one step ahead of them."

"I should've known right from the start." Hawks spoke up angrily and immediately know he got himself fooled in front of her.

Novilene silently went ahead of herself without any backup as her watch beeps that they're here. "Lying doesn't suit you at all, Hawks." She saw two familiar faces. "Besides, can you even tell the difference between lying and truth of a former Spy Agent like me?" She asks the CIA Agent and approaching them. "After all this time, you knew and wanted me to be dead in front of everyone. Agent Hunt and Agent Mendes, killed your son, John Musgrave back in China because it was self-defense."

"Good to see you in one piece, Novilene." Zhen sighs in relief to see her unharmed.

"Yeah, Ethan will lose his mind if he finds out that you're harm." Declan commented and patted her shoulder.

"He's my overprotective brother alright." She chuckled and heard a loud bang. "Let's go!" Novilene, Zhen and Declan followed where they heard the gunshot.

They stopped to see Hassan found them as Morgan looked shocked to see two unfamiliar faces behind Novilene.

"Who are they?" Morgan asks her curiously.

"This is my brother's team, Zhen and Declan Gormely. Guys, this is Derek Morgan, one of my colleagues and a friend of mine." She introduced them to Morgan. "Great acting, Sanchez."

"You knew what would happen if I didn't shoot Hassan?" Sanchez asks with a surprised look on her face.

"If there's one thing you need to know about our girl here..." Declan patted Novilene's shoulder with a proud look on his face. "She can read you like an open book."

"True, it freaks me out often." Morgan commented and chuckled how she could ever do that, no one knows how. "How come they're here?"

"Hawks must've hacked into my information and wanted to have revenge for killing his son, John Musgrave." She explained it to them. "Zack sends me a Morse code about his information before someone tapped the feed."

"John Musgrave is the son of Bruno Hawks?" Zhen asks her with a surprised look on her face. "How did that happened?"

"He keeps it a secret not until Zack hacks the information about him." Novilene spoke up. "Brassel sends Zack because he is capable of hacking someone's information and expertly good as Benji IT skills."

"I'm confused how did Bruno hack your information?" Sanchez asks her.

"I'm the first former youngest female IMF Agent. IMF stands for Impossible Mission Force that only elite Agents like me could handle a difficult mission and hide behind the publics eye." Novilene answered and ignoring the shocked look on her face. "Ethan and Zack killed Musgrave because he kidnapped my stepsister-in-law and ordering us to took one of the dangerous weapons that nearly killed us all. He was the mole from our work and going to kill each one of us until no threats are coming from him."

"That explains why you were so careful of your actions because they might have suspected about you." Morgan realizes how Novilene is so careful of her actions.

"Yeah, not only to kill Hassan but to kill me as well. Hawks wanting to take my dead body in front of Ethan and Zack or worst my dad... feel them what it is like to kill someone you care for." She spoke up with a grim look on her face. "He didn't know that I have a few tricks up on my sleeve."

"You're way too genius for this, Cruz." Sanchez couldn't believe Cruz outsmarted her boss.

"You have no idea." Zhen commented and Novilene smiled sheepishly at them.

She's The One

Novilene thanked them for having her back as they shrugged it and knowing she helped them often if they need it. The BAU team couldn't believe how his young woman manages to outsmart the Hawks without being noticed at all.

"Ah, Garcia." Zack called the tech analyst and she stared at him curiously. "I overheard your conversation about you wanting to have Prince Williams number?"

"No, Mendes!" JJ protests while Garcia widening her eyes in happiness.

"Baby girl, please tell you didn't use the CIA's system and tried to hack Prince William's number." Morgan groaned and pleaded Garcia while the others stared at them in amused expression.

"What? You can't blame a girl for trying..." Garcia sighs heavily and Zack chuckled. "It was gone before I had a chance to write the number." She whimpered and desperately wanting his number so badly.

"IMF is higher superior to CIA..." He grabs a paper from his pocket. "Here, thank you for everything."

"Yay!" Garcia jumped in happiness and snatch the paper from his grasps. "Thank you so much!" She tackled the man into a hug as he struggled to free himself away from her death grip around his waist.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Zhen asks worriedly while Zack is struggling to remove Garcia away from him. "We're talking about a royal family here."

"Let's also not forget about a certain Prince from London fancy our little girl here." Declan teased Novilene as he earned himself a sucker punch from her. "Gah!"

"That was related to our mission, nothing more." Novilene defended herself and yelped as he gives her a noogie. "Let go!"

"Why, what happened?" Elle asks curiously and wanting to hear her friend's previous mission.

"Prince Harry fancy my sister because she pretends to be a Princess from Scotland as Princess Catherine." Ethan answered and smiled in amused seeing Zack finally pry Garcia off without Novilene's aid. "Our mission is to protect the royal family and let us say... he wanted my sister so badly despite she's not a royal family."

"No way, our mini Gideon?" Morgan asks and laughing so loud. "To think someone fall her charms just like Reid here." He couldn't deny the truth of Novilene's beauty and some men excluding himself could fall of her charms with no intentions for it.

"Morgan." Reid frowned and completely jealous of how Prince Harry fancies his girlfriend.

"Sorry, now that you have Prince William's number. I bet that you're happy." He smirked seeing Garcia is jumping in happiness.

"You have no idea." Garcia spoke up with a sigh of happiness while staring at the paper in her hands.

"I believe it's our time to leave." Zack pulled Declan away from Novilene seeing her hair is messed up like a birds nest. "Novilene is safe from them and there's nothing to worried about."

"True." Ethan hugs his sister. "Don't hesitate to call us if you need something."

"I won't." Novilene assured him and not knowing Zack whispered something to Reid.

"Take care." Zhen hugs her dear friend.

The IMF Agents left them alone as they went back to paperwork before their two weeks break is coming.
