The friend from Uni.

Oh dear.

We walked into the Bullpen when I saw my aunt at my desk.
"Oh I'm in trouble." I stated as she looked towards us.
"Ashley why was I told you stab the unsub?"
"I didn't stab him. I merely threw a knife in his direction and it went into his side. Therefore I did not stab him."
"What did I say about this job?"
"Not to get arrested."
"That wasn't the only thing I said...."
"You never said I couldn't throw knifes. You simply stated that I can use any means necessary to achieve my goal in helping them catch the unsub. I couldn't shoot him so instead I threw a knife because those hurt so much."
"You could get yourself killed Ashley. What would your mother think about this?"
"I wouldn't know. We both know why that is."
"What about the others?"
"Yeah cause I've talked to them recently. Did I tell you about my hospital thingy when I was stabbed? They didn't come. I understand Unkie and his kid but not the others."
"Ashley...."
"Can we please stop talking about this? I'm kinda hungry and want to get some food."
"Sure. Go get some food."
"Thanks."
I walked away from her to find something to eat and I let out a sigh.
'Complications.'

Once I was done with my paper work I rolled my chair to Spencers desk with was just next to mine, most likely since everyone knew I would spend most of my time at his anyway.
"Hey Spencey."
"Yeah?"
"Once we can go home. I have this thing and was wondering if you wanted to join."
"What's the thing?"
"I can not say."
"Ash."
"I just can't say cause we are in front of people and I'm not ready for them to know."
"That sounds illegal."
"It's not."
"Promise?"
"On my mother's whereabouts."
"Fine. But please don't let it be anything illegal."
"I promise. Also do you have any paper work I could do? I finished all mine."
"Already?"
"Yeah. You know I work fast when it comes to writing."
"Take this one then." He told as he handed me a random file.
"Thank you."
"No problem." He told before I slid back to my previous spot.
'What a weird world.'

Once we walked in, I put my arms out as a welcome to my home gesture.
"Welcome to my lil get away."
"You've already found a bar that you can play music for?"
"You doubt my skills baby face?" I asked as we went and found an empty spot for the both of us.
"Not at all."
"Hey Ashley. Who's the friend?" Mary asked as she came over with an empty tray.
"Mary this is my friend Spencer Reid or as my family calls him, Baby face. Baby face this is Mary, she often serves my drinks and what not."
"Nice to meet ya. Any friend of Ashley's is welcomed here. Anything I could get for you?"
"Get him something non-alcoholic. There's a chance we will have to fly out tomorrow morning and I don't want them to wonder why he was drinking last night."
"Completely understandable." She told before leaving to get the drink.
"She didn't even ask what drink?" Spencer said as we made our way to an empty table for the two of us.
"Mary will get you a drink you like."
Once Spencer got his drink I took my leather jacket off and got my guitar before grabbing my necklace so I could play.
"I was curious about your necklace." Spencer told.
"Angie and Unkie wear matching ones, while Unkie got another one for a pick."
"What is his pick?"
"A Nicaraguan Cordoba."
"Interesting."
"He is an interesting man."
I was soon told that I had to go up for the song I was doing.
"Enjoy the show Baby face."
"Enjoy performing." He told before I began to make my way through the room to get to the stage.
"And now, we welcome our newest member Ashlyn Monroe to the stage." Chris told over the microphone before I got up.
'This will be fun.'

"It's not like that, I've got holes in my clothes
And for the last time I'll be up here with my notebook and my phone

Everyone has their own idea,
But me I'm not a hundred-aire,
I barely move, I rarely care

Don't tell me not to worry, I worry just enough,
Help me find a way, run before you're caught,
Officer I won't connect the dots

I've been played down, I've spent ages in clouds
And for the first time I can feel sound in the foreground of my mind

Everyone has their own idea,
There's a point that you cross where nothing seems real,
But me I'm not a hundredaire,
I barely move, I rarely care

Don't tell me not to worry
I worry just enough
Help me find the way, I run before we're caught
Officer, I won't connect the dots

You read, you write, you know it's true
You read, you write, you know it's true
You read, you write, you know it's true
You read, you write, you know it's true
You read, you write, you know it's true
You read, you write and you know that it's true

Don't tell me not to worry
I worry just enough
Help me find the way, I run before we're caught
Officer, I won't connect the dots
And don't tell me not to worry
I worry just enough
Help me find the way, I run before we're caught
Officer, I won't connect the dots

You read, you write, you know it's true
You read, you write, you know that it's true
You read, you write, you know it's true
You read, you write, you know that it's true."

Once I was done I sat down across from Spencer.
"Still use Ashlyn Monroe?"
"You know very well I will always use that name. Some people have realised who I am. But it's like a select age group of people in uni."
"Understandable. Do they know?"
"Yeah they know that if we are talking to call me Ashley but announcing me to the bar then to use my stage name. Works best like that."
"It was a good song."
"Thanks Spencey. I haven't had time to write anything new..... Marcus is mad at me for it but I kinda went shush I have no phone."
"How'd that go?"
"Not well since I said that on my landline." I told making him laugh.
"You know I've missed this a lot. We should have visited each other more."
"I mean, I only visited if I was near here. Sometime I would be closer to Washington so I went hiya Angie. I wonder how they are going?"
"When did you see her last?"
"Like when I was driving all the way up here."
"She doing well?"
"She's dating a guy who works out how someone died from bugs."
"Really?"
"Really. They are super cute together."
"Do you have a photo of them?"
"I do. Cause I spent a month with them since a situation happened and Angie missed me a lot." I explained as I grabbed my wallet and pulled the picture of the four of us that I got when we were in the photo booth.
"Ok so I recognise Angela. Who are the other two?"
"So that one is Jack and that one is Zack. Zack is like us and knows about the whole Bunny thing."
"He knows about the Bunny thing?"
"Yeah. He's promised not to tell anyone. But it was a lovely holiday, and now that I have a phone they keep asking Angie for my number."
"Why doesn't she give it to them?"
"They may have hit her with a Turkey by accident. They were doing an experiment so she's refusing to give them my number but I have theirs."
"Why is it that we always meet someone who's strange."
"Yeah. But you would like them, since they are science like.... wait you work with the government. It's a 50/50 with Jack."
"Only you would find someone who's a conspiracist."
"Thank the lord Hades for that." I told making him smile.
'I'm glad I accepted this job. Just cause spending time with Spencer is something I've missed the most.'
