The Lady and the Genius.

You really do look like a kid.

I was lying on the couch since the tickets were annoying me too much, when Spencer came back from my room.
"Have you got the ticket?"
"No. It's pissed me off."
"You enjoy flying."
"Yeah but I hate having to buy the tickets." I told as I sat up so he could sit where my head just was.
"You know I was thinking. What if I came with you to this."
"You don't have to do that Spence. I'll only be gone for a couple of days."
"I don't want you to be alone during this. You've only just stopped crying River."
"It is what it is. We work in a dangerous career."
"Well then I'm coming with you to the funeral."
"No Spence...."
"You can say no all you want. But I am coming with you to this."
"You are the best." I told as I gave him a small smile.
"Anything for you." He told as he gave a smile back.

We arrived in Washington DC and I was not looking forward to this at all.
"You get to see your friends again. I'm sure they will be happy to see you."
"Joes in Scotland seeing his family and Vix and Tim are up in Florida going to Disney with theirs."
"So what's the whole relationship with Tim and Vix?"
"They have been best friends since they were young and then became adopted brothers cause of what happened to Tim's family."
"That makes sense."
"Yeah."
"What about Zack?"
"Maybe I can get lunch with him. Unless he is busy." I stated.
"Seeing someone like him could be helpful. I know you didn't get to spend Christmas with him or the other three."
"I really missed them though the holiday. So it should be nice to get to experience that." I told as we waited for our things.
"Do you have a picture for what he looks like?" He asked as we finally got our bags and went looking for him.
"Look for like a young kid."
"That's not helpful River."
"Your the one who decided to come."
"Because you shouldn't be going through this alone."
"I'm fine."
"You cried for 4 hrs."
"Water under the bridge."
"I worry for you babe."
"Yeah a lot of people do."
We continued to walk through the airport till I saw my name on a sign.
"Found the young kid."
He looked over at where I was and saw the person we both assumed was Sweets.
"He does look young."
"See! Now come on."
We walked over and once he saw us he gave a wave.
"Are you River?"
"Yep. And you must be the shrink."
"Ok I'm also an agents and not just a shrink."
"So are we." Me and Spencer both told at once.
"Really?"
"Yeah I became qualified at like 16 and he became qualified when he was like 22." I told
"Oh wow. Well anyway, I'm Lance Sweets." He told as he extended his hand out for us to shake.
"We don't shake hands." I stated making him close it and place it back to his side.
"Right. I didn't know he had another cousin other then you."
"Oh no I'm not related." Spencer told
"He's my boyfriend. Dr. Spencer Reid." I told as I pointed to him and he gave another small wave.
"Right. Well follow me then." He told before walking.
"He seems nice." Spencer told as we followed after him.
"He is hiding something."
"River you are grieving."
"I can grieve all I want. But I know when someone is hiding something they don't want me to know."
"Just relax. He might be trying to hide information from the case he and your cousin were working on."
"That's a possibility or it could be something else." I stated.

We were driving to someplace when Sweets spoke up.
"So how long have you and Spencer been together for?"
"Awhile. How long have you known my idiotic cousin."
"River."
"What?! He was an idiot compared to me. Hence him calling me brains."
"For awhile now."
"Before I was a hostage." I stated to see he give a small nod.
"Yeah,I heard about that."
"You did?"
"Yeah. He was at the Jeffersonian when you called.
"I told you I shouldn't have called him."
"You were shot in the leg."
"And?"
"You should tell your family that."
"Yeah well me and sniper aren't exactly friendly at the moment...Well I guess we can't get back onto friendly terms ever again now. I'm still pissed off at him from when I was 16."
"What was that about? He won't talk about why you two haven't been on speaking terms a lot."
"Family business. And last time I checked you aren't family."
"Is it to do with being related to the guy who killed.....?"
"No it's not.
"Who are you related to?" Spencer asked
"A historical bad guy. I don't talk about it since it's a whole thing. He hates people knowing. I don't give two shits about it, my family has enough things to deal with honestly."
"Like you having panic attacks?"
"Yeah. To do with when I was 8."
'This is gonna be a long trip.'
