Chapter 17: Good Bye

                                    

                                          
Charley's POV:
                          
J.J. came up to me and said, "Nina has been suspended from the BAU and is not allowed to see you or have contact with you for at least a month. I am so sorry."
                          
I just looked at J.J. and said, "I know everything. Hotch and my parents. Everything," and walked away to the hospitals cafeteria. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't see my sister, the man I trusted lied to me, and my parents are alive what else will I get slapped in the face with.
                          
Just then my phone dinged and it was from Spencer, 'Please come back. I can help you find your parents. I promise.' 
                          
I texted back, 'How do I not know you are lying?' 
                          
His response was just, 'Please,' I wanted so badly to ignore him but I started walking to his room.
                          
Spencer's POV:
                          
I needed to make up with Charley but I don't know what I am going to do. I was just winging it when texting her. 
                          
I call Penelope, "Hey, can you do me a favor?"
                          
Penelope responded, "Oh my gosh your okay," was the first thing he heard "Anything, what do you need?"
                          
"I need you to find our where Charley and Nina's parents are located and send me the address," I said but I didn't hear her typing on her computer. 
                          
"Garcia are you there," I asked.
                          
She said hesitantly, "Reid I- I don't think I can do that. Why do you need it?"
                          
"Just please Garcia it is really important," I begged her, and I heard her start typing.
                          
She sent it forward and I thanked her and saw Charley walk in.
                          
I sit up and Charley came around my bed and sat down and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
                          
I looked at her and notice she's been crying and said, "I am so sorry about everything. I didn't mean to hurt you. Hotch gave us a direct order to not tell you guys." 
                          
"Yeah, Okay," and she got up and I stopped her, "I know where your parents are."
                          
She stopped and turned around at the foot of the bed and asked, "Why should I believe you?"
                          
She has every right to feel hurt but I knew this was important to her so I said, "Because I am breaking protocol for you."
                          
She looked at me and said, "Okay I believe you," and sat down again.
                          
Nina's POV:
                          
I walk out of the interrogation room and began collecting my stuff off my desk. Emily walked up to me and said, "I hope you don't mind but I stayed and heard the whole thing. Are you really not coming back."
                          
I took a deep breath and said, "Emily I honestly don't know. Part of me loves the BAU because my parents worked here and taught me everything I needed to know but the other side of me is so furious at Hotch that I never want to see him again."
                          
I looked at Emily's face and knew that she didn't want me to leave, so I ask her, "Will you help me pack because I am suspended for a month and I am not going to stay home."
                          
"Where will you be staying?" Emily asks while putting some of my picture frames in my bag.
                          
I responded, "I don't know. I think I'll stay at a hotel and then later travel back to California where our grandmother lives."
                          
Emily offered to take me home and I accepted the offer because I wanted to spend as much time with her as I can.
                          
She pulled up to my house and I got out and said, "Thank you, I am going to take it from here Emily."
                          
But Emily got out of her car and asked for my phone and put her apartment's  address and room number and said, "I am here if you need me. Please stay in touch."
                          
I looked into her eyes and really wanted to kiss her but I stopped myself from doing so and said, "Thank you, I will," and walked inside.
                          
I grab a mini suitcase and a backpack and start packing some cloths and other items. I didn't want to be here when Charley arrives because I don't even know what she thinks of me after everything that has happen. Also because I can not be in contact with her for a month.
                          
I put the suitcase by the door and started packing my backpack. When I finished packing I put the backpack next to the suitcase and decided to write a quick note to Charley at least so she knows that I am okay.
                          
I finished writing my note and threw on my backpack which accidentally hit a picture frame that was on the wall causing it to fall and shatter on the ground. I was about to clean it up when I saw what picture I had knocked down. It was at the house that Charley was held captive but in the living room on Christmas morning. I looked at how happy we were and remembered this was the the last Christmas they had all together. 
                          
I saw "dad's" face and notice that I looked nothing like him. I had some features from my mom but my "dad" and I are two polar opposites. Maybe Aaron was telling the truth. 
                          
I ripped out the part my "dad" was in and folded the picture and put it in my pocket. I left "father" side on the ground next to the broken frame and left the house without looking back.
