I couldn't help but slightly bounce in my seat as we were making our way to Santa Clarita.
'I can't wait for this!'~ ( Just a few hours ago ) ~
I couldn't help but be lost in thought as we all sat at our desks and relaxed since work was really slow. But in being lost in thought, I ended up to thinking back when I was younger.
"Hey sis! I'm so glad you're here!" He told as I came and sat at a safe distance in front of him.
"I'm just here to ask a question.... maybe questions."
"Of course. I'm your big brother after all, it's my job to help answer what you want to know when our parents won't. So ask away Mouse."
"Is our last names actually Finley?" I asked and I saw he looked shocked before changing into one of remorse.
"No. It's not."
"Why would they lie about that? Why would you not tell me?"
"I wanted to tell you. But our father and Stella didn't want you to know about our family and who we are related to."
"What?!"
"Our uncle. Dads brother..... he's not exactly a good guy."
"How.... How is he not a good guy? I thought he went to the Mariens?!"
"He did. That's true. Our aunt Mary died in a fire when you were around 2 and a half and our baby cousin was 6 months. After that he wasn't well. He went on about a creature killing her and that it wasn't natural. He ended up becoming a criminal and was permanently shut off from our family's money. Dad couldn't risk not being trusted or getting work without people thinking he was our uncle..... so he changed his last name to Finley. Birth certificates were faked and we were to be known as Finley. They didn't want you to know, because it's so much not being able to tell people that we aren't Finley's! We're.......""Finley!" Hotch exclaimed making me look towards him.
"Yeah?"
"You ok? You seemed out of it."
"I was thinking about my brother. I miss him a bit, not Stockholm syndrome. I just miss him like you would when you miss Jack. It's weird."
"I get that." He told before messing my hair a little bit making me smile.
'I'm glad I met Hotch. He's pretty cool.'
Soon we ended up getting called into the round room, which signalled the new case we were working on.
'Miss this honestly.'~ ( Back to present time ) ~
"Baby you are jumping in your seat!" Morgan told as they all looked towards me.
"I can't help it. I'm in the air working a case! I just feel like shits getting back to normal you know." I told before knocking on the table.
"How did we never see this superstition side of yours before hand?" Prentiss questioned.
"I mean I just knocked on the wood cause I like the sound of wood being knocked on, forgetting there's a whole knock on wood thing. But I grew up with De making sure I was protected from all sorts of things. When I lived with Sniper for a bit he came over with my uncle and baby cousin and we made sure the place was protected from what ever we could think of. So it just became a thing for me to make sure I'm safe from monsters and humans."
"How come your cousins were superstitious?" Spencer asked as he sat next to me.
"After my aunt passed, my uncle tried to find a reason for it. Because of that, they met my uncle Bobby and it blossomed from that really."
"How did your aunt die?" Rossi asked making me get a sad smile.
"House fire. She died in Uni boys nursery room. Fire just randomly started one night and he took him and gave him to De. Life for my family kinda went down hill from there." I told making everyone become silent.
"Do you remember anything with her?" J asked.
"I was only a year and a half years old when it happened. My cousin was 6 months at the time so De ended up becoming a parent for him. My family is complicated in more ways then one."
'If only they knew.'We walked into the police station we would be working out of and Hotch got to work introducing us all, leaving me and Spencer last.
"And our two dr's. Spencer Reid and River Finley."
"Your not River Finley." He told making us all pull a confused look.
'Does he know about my last name situation?!'
"No I'm pretty sure I'm River Finley." I stated
"Na. Girl about yay high and was with these two blocks. One real tall one and the other was was just shorter then him."
'THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS!!!!'
"Now I see the confusion. There's another Dr. River Finley at the Washington building, I believe at least. My cousin works there so who truly knows what that dude is saying half the time honestly." I told smiling making sure no one saw the anger I held.
"That makes sense. Well follow me." He told before leading us to where we would be working.
'I'm gonna kill them.'
