chapter 64

It was the next morning. Em was making breakfast again. Making sure i ate 3 times a day.
"Goodmorning babe " she said to me.
I returned the smile.
"Goodmorning "
She gave me a bowl with yogurt and fruit.
"So about that moving in with eachother. I thought maybe you could move in with me until we find our own place"

I nodd in agreement.
I was renting my apartment while em bought hers so it was smarter to move into hers.
"Do you have an idea what kind of place we should live in? A house? An apartment?" I ask her while eating my breakfast. I was less nervous about eating then yesterday. Fruit is kind of the only thing along with salad that was okay for me to eat.

"How about a house?" Emily said.
I was shocked.
"Emily prentiss ready to actually settle down and buy a house?"  I say jokingly.
She laughed.
"It does make me nervous but I love you so" She smiled at me.
"I'm nervous aswell. Were only 2 months together. But when you love someone you shouldn't wait right?"
Eva and I never moved in together, and we were in a 2 year relationship.
Things with em are going really fast. But in a positive way.

We finished breakfast, atleats em did.
I still had some yogurt left but we had to leave for work.

Tara took the day off since we don't have a case. She talked to me about her brother. Gabriel. She told me about him a few days ago. Apparently I'm the person they go to for family issues.
But I'm glad she confided in me. Im glad I can be of use.
It felt nice knowing more about her.
Gabriel had some issues, never went to yall but got introuble for fraude and went into bankruptcy. After tara helped him out he turned his back on her.
She was texting me from the coffee shop

Tara: he hasn't showed up yet

Y/n: he will. You guys haven't seen eachother for so long. Maybe he just needs to get some courage to walk in.

Tara: thanks for the help y/n
Y/n: hey no worries I'm an expert in baring the hatched with a brother. Text me if there is anything.

I close my phone and walk to the conference room. Tara had just told penelope about her brother and we were testing to see how long she could keep it a secret.

"By is Gabriel on the board?" I ask
Walking in.
Penelope looked confused.
Jj and Spencer walked in aswell.
"Oo hey its Gabriel" jj said
"Wha how do you guys know abou-"

Jj interrupted p. " Ow Tara told us about him when she first joined to team"

"He flew in this morning probably looking for money" Spencer added.
It was something Tara was scared off. That all he wanted was money. When all she wanted was to talk.

Rossi and alvez walk in aswell.
"Hey ee is there a case. What's Tara's brother picture doing up?" Luke asked.
Seeing penelopes face is so funny but I have to keep my cool.

"Ow he's intown. She meeting him today " I say to them.
"He must want money" Rossi said.

Penelope puts down the remote angry.
"Come on! The new guy! He knows how was I the last one to know"
She said angry.

Nobody could hold in there smiles anymore.
"It was am experiment she wanted to time how long you keep a private conversation private. And you...made it 12 hours!"
Spencer spoke and p looked in shock.

"I had you down for 6" luke said teasing.
"Dammit I thought you would last longer p! So who guessed right?" I asked. We had placed a bet on how long she would last.

Penelope walked out saying how much me sucked. I couldn't stop laughing.
"I guessed 14 I think I win" Spencer said.
"Actually I had 11" emily won.
Everyone payed up.

"Come on y/n you too" she said to me.
"Your my girlfriend do I really have to pay?" I asked

She nodded and I gave her 10 bucks.
"Naha it was 20"
I roll my eyes and gave another 10 bucks.

I all of a sudden got a call from Tara.
"Is everything okay?" Rossi asked.

"It's tara"

I pick up the phone.

Y/n: hey is everything okay?
Tara: are you with the team right now?
Y/n: yea want me to put you on speaker?
Tara: yes pls

I do so and put my phone on the table.
Y/n: what's going on?

Tara: my brother never showed up but an imposter did

Rossi: what do you mean?
Tara: a random man showed up claiming to be Gabriel. And he seems to know alot about me.

Emily: bring him in, we will find out what's going on.

Everyone looked worried at eachother. This is not what we expected.

Tara brought the man in and we immediately put him in an interaggation room.

She walked in the bullpen with Spencer by her side.
"We're running prints and dna" he said.
"We can hold that man for 24 hours after that we either need to charge him or let him go. Is Gabriel answering his phone?" Emily asked

"This is his Phone. His contacts his emails. Look at this"
She showed a picture from her actually brother being jn the area.
Tara put the phone in a bag and penelope was going to process it.

Only me, Tara and emily were standing around. I immediately hug Tara.
At first she backed up but then she gave into the hug.
I slowly rub her back.
"We are going to find him I promise "
I said to comfort her.

"Why would Gabriel send another stranger in pretending its him. Maybe he's scared or maybe it's another one of his scams" she said. But I don't believe this is just a scam. It feels bigger.
I let go of her.
"Tara let's talk" emily said.
Emily suggested it was okay for me to follow so I did.
Rossi was waiting for us in em's office.

"What is this am I in trouble" Tara asked confused to why we were all in a private room.
"Just the opposite, of someone is messing with you they are messing with all of us" Rossi spoke.

"We have to be hyperventilating about this. Hotch just entered the program this could be bigger than we think" I spoke.
"I agree, I want to start by questioning the suspect" Tara said
But I don't think it's a good idea, this hits close to her.

"No" em said blankly.
"Wa- it this is bc im to close to the case-"
Emily intruppted her.
"We need to treat the man you just brought in as an unsub posing as your brother. What would interaggation strategy call for at this point?"
She asked.
The way em was sitting on her desk was so goddamn hot. I love seeing her as the unit chief.

"Eem get him frustrated force him to break by dening him what he wants"
Tara answered. I catched on to what em ment.

"And what does he want?" I asked her.
She sighed "me"
"So you can't go in" em said.
"So who are we going to send in instead of you?" Rossi asked directing Tara.

We decided to sent jj jn.
