No body, No crime - (Aaron Hotchner x OC)

Chapter 8

"Hey, pretty girl!" Morgan called after her as they walked into the bullpen.

"Yes, Morgan?" She acknowledged him.

"How have you been?" Morgan asked, seemingly innocent.

"What do you need?" Alianna sighed, giving him the look.

"Help with paperwork?" Morgan requested.

"And you aren't asking Reid because...?" Alianna set her stuff down on her desk, across from Reid's. The man in question looked up from his book.

"What about me?" Reid asked.

"Morgan wants me to help him with his paperwork," Alianna sighed and collapsed into her chair, "Save me?"

"Or you could just tell him to do his own paperwork," Prentiss piped in from her desk.

"Yeah, do your own paperwork, Morgan," Alianna told him with a proud-of-herself smile.

"You all suck," Morgan sat at his own desk with a sigh.

"Oh, but you love us, don't lie," Alianna smirked at him.

"No case today?" Prentiss asked, changing the topic.

"None so far," Reid responded, picking his book back up. Alianna cheered to herself and picked up her own paperwork stack. As much as she hated desk jobs, paperwork was something she enjoyed every so often.

About half an hour into the day JJ told them that there wasn't a case yet. That pleased the group, though they knew they could be called away at any time.

"Yes! Paperwork day!" Alianna cheers, picking up another file.

"You and Hotch, both paperwork fanatics," Morgan comments.

"That's not the only thing they have in common," Prentiss winked at Alianna. The latter rolled her eyes and pushed Prentiss playfully.

"What do you mean?" Reid asked with a confused expression. The other three laughed at his obliviousness.

"Nothing," Alianna takes pity on him, "They're just looking for something that isn't there."

"It's there," Prentiss tells her, "You don't give yourself enough credit."

"There is no way he would be 'attracted' to me," Alianna deadpans, "So let's just leave the topic where it is."

"Sure," Morgan chuckles, "Whatever you say, pretty girl."

"Hey, don't you have paperwork to complete?" Alianna teased him, drawing the attention off of herself.

"It would go a lot faster if someone helped," Morgan complained.

"Ask Reid," Alianna tells him, not looking up from her report.

"The answer's no," Reid says before Morgan can ask.

"Ooh, rejected twice," Prentiss pokes fun at Morgan.

"Shut it," Morgan grumbles, picking up his own paperwork. The rest of the day passed by uneventfully. Alianna hadn't even noticed the day was over until Prenits said something. She took the time to glance up at Hotch's office. He was still toiling away at his own work.

"You coming?" Prentiss asked.

"I'll be down in a second, I've got something to finish up," Alianna told her.

"Do you want me to wait for you?" Prentiss offers

""Nope, I'm all good," Alianna replies, "I'll see you tomorrow, Prentiss."
