You and Tara had been dating for a little while. She had transferred to the BAU, and you had hit it off immediately. Your relationship was young but still solid––nevertheless, you were always learning things about each other. She had told you about her brother, about her entire family, really. You’d seen pictures.

Tara was surprised when she got an email from her brother, Gabriel, asking to meet up since he’d apparently be in town for a few days––but when she met him, she realised it wasn’t him at all. She took the matter to the team and brought him in. You hated seeing her so distraught––you and her stood behind the two-way glass in the room together.

“Whoever this guy is, he’s good.” She says, disturbance clear in her tone.
