Old Friend

Chapter 5

"Where are you going pretty boy?" Derek joked. "I don't know yet." Said Spencer with a smile. "We're leaving at 9:30 tomorrow." Aaron said. Spencer nodded. "Reid, have fun." Aaron said with a smile. Spencer nodded and smiled back.

"So you're a big FBI agent now huh?" Emma joked. "Yeah." Spencer smiled. "How is it?" Emma asked. "Good, I mean I save people for a living but you know sometimes it's kind of scary knowing some of the things that go on in our Unsubs heads." Spencer admitted. Emma nodded. "Hey, I wanna show you something." "What is it?" Spencer asked with a questioned look. "You'll see." Emma said with a smile.

Emma and Spencer walked down an alley and went up an elevator. "Where are we going?" Spencer asked. "I already told you, you'll see when we get there." Emma smiled. When the elevator reached the 47th floor the elevator doors opened into a loft. "Is this your house?" Spencer asked. "Yeah but that's not what I wanted to show you." Spencer looked at Emma with a puzzled look. "Follow me." Spencer followed Emma out to the balcony, it had a view of the Brooklyn bridge and the Jersey Shore. "This is beautiful." Spencer said. "I thought you would like it." Emma smiled.

Emma and Spencer admired the view for awhile then Spencer finally spoke up. "So, do you ever think about going out in the field?" "Yeah, sometimes but I don't know, It just seems kind of scary to me you know? Not knowing if you'll come home at night, Not that I don't already get that feeling but still." Spencer nodded. "I understand." "To be honest I never thought this would be the career path I would choose to do." Emma admitted. "Do you ever wonder if you lived up to expectations?" Spencer asked. "What do you mean?" "When I was a kid I thought I would cure schizophrenia by the time I was 25 but instead I'm working as an FBI agent." "So you think you've let people down?" "I feel like I've let myself down." Spencer admitted. "By being a genius in the FBI?" "Yeah I mean I feel like I could've done something more with my life." "Spencer, you save people and catch bad guys all around the country for a living. I think that's the best job anyone could have." Spencer looked at Emma and smiled. "See, you know I'm right." Emma joked.

Emma walked back inside. "Do you still love reading?" Emma asked. "I read at least seven books a week." Spencer joked. "I'm taking that as a yes." Emma smiled and walked over to her book shelf. She grabbed a book titled The Rescue by Nicolas Sparks and handed it to Spencer. "I can't wait to read it." Spencer smiled.

It was getting late and Spencer had to get up early the next day. "I should probably go." Spencer said. "I was nice to see you again Spencer." Emma said with a smile. "It was nice seeing you too Emma." Spencer smiled back. They both hugged each other then Emma quickly kissed Spencer's cheek. The elevator doors closed and Spencer couldn't stop putting his hand over his cheek where Emma kissed him. She kissed me Spencer thought to himself and smiled.
