Checkmate

ANGST 100% definitely, will be a hopefully two other parts to this. KIND OF CROSSOVER WITH PSYCH Also 13K reads!!! That's awesome! Thank you! I hate Maeve but she makes for some pretty good angst. 


It crushed you no, it destroyed you to see Reid so upset because his girlfriend was missing. You really hoped he didn't have a girlfriend but he did.


The team ran in through the front but you saw another way in. It took longer but it was worth it. When you got there, the stalker had a gun to Maeve.


Diane moves the gun from Maeve to her forehead. You knew what you had to do.


"Wait" yelled Reid.


You shot Diane in the head, "Checkmate"


You looked like a badass when you shot her. Diane fell to the ground. Her blood splattered on Maeve and Reid. Oops. At least Maeve wasn't dead.


Your phone started to ring. You answered it. It was Emily Prentiss. You were good friends with her when she was still apart of the team. She was the only one you told that you had feelings for Reid.


"Hey Emily. No, I'm not doing anything" you stepped over Diane's dead body and left the building.


"Hey. I've good news for you" Emily told you.


"You're coming back to the BAU?"


"No, sorry"


"Well it was worth a shot. So what is the good news?


You could really use some good news. First, you found out Reid had a girlfriend. Then, she was kidnapped and last but not least, you killed her stalker. You just f*cking killed someone.


Emily told you, "I have an empty spot on my team here in London. I want you to fill it"


"Are you serious?" You asked.


"Yes I am. Are you okay? You don't sound so good"


Damn. She was good. Even over the phone she could tell you were upset.


You responded, "No but we can talk about it later"


"Okay. How long until I have an answer?" asked Emily.


You though about it for a minute. You weren't sure how much longer you could stay on the same team as Reid knowing he was in love with in someone else. Seeing him everyday would just be a constant reminder.


You told her, "I'll have an answer by tomorrow night"


"Is this about Reid?" Emily asked.


"Yeah, it is"


"You never told him how you felt did you?"


You should've. Emily told you to do it before she left. You didn't listen. It was your biggest regret.


You popped the p, "Nope but it's too late now"


"I'm sorry, Y/n" said Emily.


"I should've listened to you. I should've just told him ten me the ago. Things would be different"


"Y/n, you can't think about what might have happened"


A bunch of cops came over. You knew they'd want to talk to you considering what just happened.


You told Emily, "I know. It's hard not to. I have to go now. Local law enforcement needs to talk"


"I thought you weren't doing anything" said


"Just wrapping up a personal case. Now I really have to go"


You hung up on Emily and the local police talked to you. You gave your statement to Will. It was a clean and legal shot. Diane would have killed Maeve if you hadn't shot her. Diane was going to kill herself and Maeve. You stopped her buy killing her. It didn't help the fact that you were now a killer.


This was the firs time


You skillfully avoided both Reid and Maeve. You couldn't talk to either of them. You knew they'd both want to thank you for saving Maeve.


Maeve. What kind of name was that? Who names their kid that?


"Hey you okay?" JJ asked.


"Did I ever tell about Thomas?" you asked in response.


"No, who is he?"


"He was my boyfriend. We dated for over a year. The last time I felt like this like my heart had been ripped out was when he was murdered"


That's right, folks. It's tragic backstory time.


When you were twenty-four, you enrolled into the Santa Barbara Police Academy. At the time, you had been dating Thomas O'Brien for fourteen months. He didn't like the idea of you being in danger as a cop. You had always wanted to be a cop. A week later, Thomas was murdered. The BAU was called in. They solved the case. That's how you met Hotch, Morgan, Gideon, JJ, and Reid. Granted only Reid and Hotch remembered that was how you met.


After Thomas's death, you dropped out of the police academy. You moved to Washington DC and enrolled into the FBI academy. Years later, after Haley's death, you joined the BAU.


"I'm so sorry, Y/n"


"You know Emily called. She actually offered me a job on her Interpol team"


"And you're considering it aren't you?"


"I could use a change of scenery especially after today"


"Because you killed Diane Turner?"


"Not because of that"


You looked and made sure the door was closed. You stood up and locked it to be extra careful.


"Because I love Reid"


"Y/n, I had no idea"


"I should've listened to Emily. She told me to tell him ten months ago before she left but I didn't. I couldn't. I didn't want my heart to be broken all over again. But now every time I look at him, my heart hurts because I'm reminded that I can't have him"


JJ hugged you and you started to sob. Your heart was in pieces. Spencer felt the same way you did. He just didn't feel that way about you. After JJ left your office, you called Emily.


Emily asked, "Do you have an answer for me? Because it's really early here"


"Oh right. Sorry. Yes, that's my answer" you told her.


You knew you couldn't do it. You couldn't keep working with Reid. You knew it because of how you were after Thomas died. You couldn't stay in Santa Barbara or at your apartment. You couldn't be reminded of your constant heartbreak.


Emily exclaimed, "Yes! I can't wait to see you"


"Yeah same here" you told her. 


"Once you get here will you tell me what's going on with you and Reid?"


"Yeah, I will"


After fixing your makeup, you left your office and went into Hotch's office. You had to tell him. 


Hotch said, "Y/l/n, what are you doing here? You should be home"


You told him, "And so should you. I just cane here to say that Emily called and there's an open spot on her team in Interpol"


"And she offered it to you. Are you considering it?" asked Hotch.


"No, Hotch. I already took it"


"You're leaving?"


"Yeah, I just really need a change in scenery right now"


You had a week before you would be transferred to Interpol and moved to London. You worked with the team on one last case except Reid who was off with his girlfriend. You had planned on spending your last night in DC with your friends who flew in from Santa Barbara to say goodbye to you. 


But your plan didn't exactly happen. You thought you were going to go to a bar or something to hang out with Shawn and Gus but that wasn't what happened. Instead Gus drove you guys to Rossi's house.


You asked, "What are we doing here? This is Rossi's house"


"Oh your friends invited us here" responded Shawn.


You told them. "You do know Rossi hates psychics right?"


Shawn was a private psychic detective and Gus worked with him but Gus was also a pharmaceutical  sales rep. 


"No I did not. Thanks for the information" remarked Shawn.


You got out of the blue car with Shawn and Gus. You told Shawn to behave. He could be real immature at times, like all the time. You didn't have to worry about Gus though. 


Rossi opened the door and let you and your friends in. The whole team was there. It was a surprise goodbye party for you. Reid brought Maeve with him. It would be hard for you to avoid her. JJ brought Will and Garcia brought Sam.


Rossi told you, "You didn't think we'd let you leave without saying goodbye, did you?"


"I should've known"  you said.


JJ asked, "Who are your friends?"


You answered, "Oh right, this is Shawn Spencer and Burton Guster aka Gus. They're old friends of mine from Santa Barbara"


"Old friends? We grew up together" said Shawn.


"Yeah. that makes us old friends Shawn"


Reid asked, "So what do you for you living, Shawn?"


Shawn replied, "I am a private detective who often consults with the Santa Barbara Police Department. Dr. Reid"


"How did you know my name?" asked Reid.


"Simple, I am a psychic"


You facepalmed. You specifically told Shawn not to say he was a psychic for many reasons. It was obviously a lie, it was embarrassing, and Rossi hated psychics.


Rossi remarked, "Or Y/n told him"


You told them, "I told him your names but I never showed any pictures or anything"


Shawn pointed to Reid and Maeve, "And you two are dating" 


"For the record, I did not tell him that either"


"Shawn Spencer, why does your name sound so familiar?" asked Reid.


You told Reid, "Because you read it in the book by Mr. Yang serial killer I gave you and Spencer is your name"


"Yeah, yeah. I remember that and it was even autographed"


Shawn said, "That was who you asked me that for. Do you know what I had to do to get that?"


Gus said, "All you had to do was ask her. She just signed it for you"

"Yeah but I still had to go see her in the looney bin"


Mr. Yang was actual a woman and crazy. Shawn proceeded to tell everyone the story of how he caught Mr. Yang and later Mr. Yin. They were all impressed except for Rossi. Rossi was hard to impress. 


You had one last night of fun with your friends. Shawn picked up on the fact that you wanted to leave because of Maeve. You left early because you had a flight to catch the next day or at least that was what you told the team. 


Shawn told you, "I know, Y/n"


You asked, "Know what Shawn? Know that I killed someone? Or know that I am in love with Dr. Reid?"


"Wait what?" questioned Gus.


"I am in love with Dr. Reid?"


"No, you killed someone?"


Shawn told you, "I did not know that first part but I knew the second one"


The rest of the ride back to your empty apartment was quiet. You didn't want to talk. Gus drove you there. The next morning, the three of you went to the airport. Shawn and Gus would be helping you move into your new apartment in London. 


Your new life was about to start, again. Emily helped you as well move into your new apartment.  You met the members of your new team: Elizabeth Mills, Carter Thorne, Jacin Clay, Scarlet Benoit, Cress Darnell, and Kai Lin.


After a year, you went undercover to get evidence on Colin Hyde. You were his type to infiltrate his base of operations. Your new name was Kacey Whitmore.
