Some hours later, Victoria is sitting on the couch in the FBI's suite. Rossi and Emily are discussing with Tara about happened tonight. Spencer is filling up Garcia with details while Matt and Luke decided to drink a beer on the balcony.

            JJ decides to check on Victoria for a moment. She slowly walks to the couch not wanting to disturb the other girl.

"You can sit, JJ." Victoria simply informs.

"Do you need something?" JJ asks before sitting next to the brunette.

"Peace? Do you have this in store?" Victoria chuckles sadly.

"Sorry, we have some problems having stocks on that particular product." Jennifer tries to light up the mood.

"You did well tonight, JJ." Victoria looks right into JJ's eyes, but something is missing, and JJ can feel it. "I know it wasn't easy for you to be around me."

"It wasn't as bad as I first thought." JJ admits.

"I'm glad to hear that." Victoria smiles. "I swear I have seen you enjoyed our little dance."

"I wouldn't say enjoy..." JJ blushes slightly.

"Don't worry, I haven't enjoyed it either." The younger girl winks earning a chuckle from the blonde agent.

"What is next for you, now?" Wonders JJ.

"I've got plenty of things to do and fix, but maybe Emily can help me finding something, right Miss Eavesdropper?" Victoria laughs looking at a caught Emily.

"Sorry, girls, I was just wondering if you would like to fly back to Quantico with us?" Emily asks.

"As long as I don't get arrested for being such a monster, I'm down with it." The Italian girl smiles.

"Don't worry, Tori. I've got it." Emily assures. "Wheels up in 20, everyone."

            On the plane, everyone has taken their usual place and are now doing their own things. JJ is sitting with Reid and Rossi; she is facing one of the most adorable scenes she has ever witnessed in this plane. Emily is sitting next to Victoria, the younger one is cuddling her side like a child will do with her mother. Emily is caressing her hair protectively while talking about anything. Once in a while, Victoria would chuckle or laugh for real making JJ smile widely. These little things don't go unnoticed to the eyes of the one and only Doctor Reid who can't stop smirking at the sight. This will be definitely a thing to watch.


A week later, as the team is finishing some paperwork, Emily asks everyone to gather in the conference room. Once they are all here, the smile on their boss' face seems to worry the team.

"She is normally never that happy, should we be worry?" Luke whispers in Matt's ear with a little laugh.

"She is stressing me, I admit." Spencer chuckles nervously.

"Guys, I have excellent news." Emily seems excited.

"We finally have a new plane with more space for each other?" Tara tries with a smile.

"Do we have a case where nobody is planning to die anymore?" Spencer imitates the excitement.

"No, no, guys, listen to me." Emily cuts the others. "We have a new member."

"Again?" Rossi chuckles. "Whose budget is that?"

"Surprisingly, it's not charged on our budget, the section chief decided it was a needed recruit." Emily explains.

"Am I?" A voice echoes behind the team.

"Just in time." Emily smiles widely looking at a smirking Victoria. "Team, please welcome Victoria Martinelli as our new mafia expert and weapons specialist. She will be a profiler in our team and can help the entire section when needed. She will have a period of observation first, and then, she will pass the test to see if she can stay with us."

"I knew it." Spencer is the first to stand up and greet Victoria. "Emily told me you're better than her at playing chess, I can't wait to see this."

"Is it really hard, though?" Victoria chuckles.

"You're right." Spencer laughs and lets the team greet the new girl.

"Happy to have some Italian vibes in this team." Rossi comments while hugging the girl.

"Never alone again." She points at the older man.

"Seems like I will have to get used to you, finally." JJ whispers in Victoria's ear.

"Told you, love, I am going to surprise you." Victoria whispers back.

"Alright, hate to interrupt this moment." Garcia enters the room. "But, Emily, secretary Duke wants to talk to you."

"Oh..." Emily realizes. "I'll be right back, guys."

"New case?" Luke wonders.

"Might be a bad one, come take a look at that." Garcia leads Victoria and Luke to the open space.

"Just got a call from Homeland Security." Emily joins the group in front of the TV.

"Hey, what's going on?" JJ wonders.

"Mayhem. There's an ongoing situation in Silicon Valley." Garcia softly explains.

"What we know for sure is there is a workplace shooting in the office compound of a video gaming company called Ori-Gamey." Emily continues.

"Yeah, they're cutting edge. They do a lot of virtual reality." Luke gives more information. "I have a few of their flight simulator games."

"Fun." Victoria smiles to Luke. "Their games are always so realistic, it's fire."

"Exactly my thoughts." Luke high fives the girl.

"We're on the case?" JJ rolls her eyes at the two.

"Homeland Security asked for help on the ground." Emily ends.

"What do we got?" Tara arrives after her toilets pause.

"That..." Garcia sighs.

"Office shooting company in California." Reid announces.

"Are they thinking terrorism?" Matt wonders.

"They are thinking they don't know." Garcia seems upset.

"Well, that's a high-profile tech target. We can't rule out a coordinated attack or a lone wolf." Tara reasons.

"The situation's still unfolding, so everything is still on the table." Emily states.

"Do they know how many shooters they're dealing with?" Rossi asks.

"Eyewitness accounts indicate a suspect was seen fleeing the building." Emily informs the group.

"Do we have a description?" JJ continues.

"No, not yet. No ID, and no one in custody." Emily keeps on feeding us.

"Do we know anything about the weapons used in there?" Victoria tries.

"Automatic weapons, for what we can see and hear." Garcia breathes out.

"How many dead people?" Victoria frowns.

"We'll see this on the plane." Emily smiles.

"Well, the sooner we get out there, the better." Rossi confidently states.

"We'll brief more on the jet. Wheels up in 10." Emily leaves.

"Wheels up?" Victoria frowns.

"Jet ready to go in 10, newbie." Rossi taps my shoulder kindly.

"Oh, yeah, sure." Victoria giggles and gets ready.
