After the welcoming performance, everyone was going around and talking to either who they donated to or who had donated to them. Strangely though River wasn't with us, but her boy band as she calls them were.
"Who's the lady in the vail?" David asked making us all look to see someone going around meeting people.
"That is the owner of the Hazelnut corporation." Tim told as they all had some sort of food.
"How do you know?" Aaron asked.
"Because Dave is by their side. And because she's the only one that wears a vail to these things to meet people."
"Yeah, she's very quiet. You get her to speak, it means she has an eye on you." Vix added.
"Tim was the first to get her to speak hence them dating a bit." Joe continued.
"Oh I want to get her to speak." Tyler and Derek told as one.
"Your gay though?" Penelope questioned.
"Yeah but I help set up functions for rich people, so if I can get her eyes on my business I'm set. They are known for hosting great Halloween parties or just costume party's." Tyler explained.
"Where's River?" I asked looking towards her group.
"She's talking with Zack about his doctorate. I swear ever since he became an official doctor, she's liked him more then us." Tim told
"He is her favourite." The other three told as one.
"How did they meet?" Tyler asked
"Oh they shared a lot of similar classes. We aren't fully sure how their first meeting went though." Tim explained.
"Just that an hour after they met and she was heading to lunch with us..." Joe began before Vix continued.
"She noticed some guys were picking on him, making her rush over and take them out. Pretty sure he gave one a broken nose and nearly dislocated another ones arm."
"He got a sprained wrist from that I think." Tim stated.
"Yeah he just said that he fell and landed weird when asked." Joe told
"I'm sorry she did that?" Emily asked
"Yeah. All with a hand bag that she had." The three told as one.
"Tim actually had to pick Rio up so she didn't go chasing after them." Vix stated.
"Yeah and we met Zack right there, who then also met her cousins at the same time."
"You know her cousins?" We all asked
"Know their names as well."
"What?!"
"Dic said they know everything about her." Penelope told as she realised.
"I mean listen. She'll tell you eventually when's she's ready for you to know. Sometimes we didn't find stuff out before Zack and sometimes we did." Tim told.
"Pretty sure after that first trip to the cabin they became the closest and trusted the other for things." Vix added.
"They were roommates the longest as well." Joe stated making them nod.
'So that's why she's with him right now..... because she trusts him the most.'
"Do you all know what happened with her cousin then?" I asked making them pull an uncomfortable look.
"We.... We were actually there when it happened." Joe admitted.
"It wasn't pretty." Vix told as they all chose their words carefully.
"It's just.... It's best to not ask her about it. She says it's family business and what not, but.... It hurts a lot thinking about it."
'What happened River?'
Soon Dave made his way to us with the vail lady, and we instantly saw how tall she was due to her high heels. The dress she was wearing was somewhat like something River would wear.
'Maybe we should go shopping while we are here. She might like to show me some places she didn't get to last time we were here."
"Everyone. This is my boss, Miss. Goldsworth." Dave told making her give a small bow with her head.
'She really is quite.'
"Miss. Goldsworth, this is the BAU team that you donated to." He told.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all." She told in a low raspy voice.
"Still looking fine Golds." Tim told making her chuckle.
"Always a flirt Timothy."
"Can we ask about the voice?" Penelope asked.
"When I was younger I was in an accident of sorts, and as a result my voice is often like this. Hence me not speaking unless needed."
"You should probably rest it more now. We still have Mr. Addys team you need to talk to." Dave told making her give a small nod.
'He really cares for her.'
She grabbed ahold of a notepad and pen, and wrote some stuff down.
*Does anyone know sign language completely?*
"I've been learning." Penelope told.
She signed some stuff and Penelope got a confused look.
"I'm sorry I don't understand." She told making her laugh.
"She was just speaking nonsense. It's a joke she likes to do." He told before she signed some stuff to him. "Mr. Klaus, she wants to know if you have a card. She wants to speak business with you about planning one of our famous parties."
"Of course." He told before handing a card to Dave.
"She is curious how the BAU works though. She's found crime solving to be interesting ever since she was a kid." He explained as she nodded a bit quickly.
"We profile unsubs and how they work. Through this we are able to create a profile and help catch criminals." Hotch explained "We can do a small test if you like?"
As soon as he asked her that she nodded quickly and I felt like her eyes were slightly wide from amazement.
"Point to whoever you want to be profiled." He told making her look around before pointing towards Grace. "Grace?"
She gave a few nods making us all look towards her, minus Penelope and we all profiled her as best as we could.
"She's a hard worker but she also has a soft caring side to her. The way she carries herself and stands, shows that she wants people to respect her but also fear her a bit." He told making her clap.
"She's amazed you got that correct Mr.Hotchner."
"It's our job to get things as correct as we can."
She gave a few nods before looking towards Penelope and gave a little point as she looked towards Dave.
"I'm slightly confused." Penelope told.
"She's curious what you do."
"Why me?" She asked making her sign towards him.
"Miss please. When you sign so fast I can't keep up all the time." He told making her give a small huff and sign slower. "Got it. She noticed you didn't look towards Grace."
"Oh. I'm the tech girl of the group basically. So I get the information these guys get and find the person they are after." She explained making her go to sign something only to stop for a second or two and began to sign.
"So basically you do the heavy lifting." Dave told making his boss laugh.
"I'm not meant to let people know." Penelope joked making her laugh more.
We were all taken back when she suddenly grabbed Penelope's hands, and held them between each other. It seemed that, it's what she wanted having Penelope's focus on her and her alone.
"I like you. Your very funny and lovely." She told before letting her hands go and moving away from her.
"T-thank you."
"We need to get going now. Remember we need to speak to Jeffersonian team that Mr.Addy is apart of still." He told making her clap and in turn make him chuckle.
She signed a quick bye to us before they both rushed off to talk to the other team.
"I'm sorry did he just say that someone called Addy was working at the Jeffersonian? Who the hell has a last name as Addy?" Morgan asked
"Wouldn't let Rio hear that." The boy band told as one.
"Why?" We all asked.
"Cause that's Zack and she'll kill you." They all told.
"How the hell is working with the Jeffersonian?" Prentiss asked.
"He's a bone forensic anthropologist."
"Oh that makes sense, why there was several diagrams of bones and what not in one of the rooms." Jj told.
"Yeah that's where he studied the most. Rio actually help get him there." Vix told
"What?!"
"We did say he's her favourite. She'd do anything for him." Tim added.
"I mean, it was like they were dating when we were younger the amount of time they spent with one another."
"You good Penelope?" Tyler asked
"I'm still shocked from her saying she likes me."
"Might get invited to her parties then."
'I never thought she would seem like that. It was almost childlike.'
"Does anyone else find it peculiar that she acted somewhat childlike?" I asked.
"Hotch did treat her like she was a child." Rossi added.
"It made sense to. She's the sole heir to a large fortune, her parents are dead by that logic. The way she acted is how one would if they didn't have much of a childhood. She seems nice though, even though she didn't say much."
"I'm really curious what she said though." Morgan confessed referencing the joke she had pulled apparently.
"Something about an umbrella." The three told making us look towards them. "Rio."
'Why does it feel weird that she trusts Zack more then me?'
