"Bauer, Ray, are you ready for your first case?" Morgan questioned as we were packing up our files at the round table.

"Yeah, I think so." Harper replied.

"Hell yes!" I said with way too much enthusiasm. "Sorry that was too enthusiastic seeing as we have three girls missing." I said, realizing how insensitive that probably sounded.

"It's all good. We all understand what it feels like on your first case; the rush of excitement playing in the big leagues. We all went through it, but the hard thing is that normally the first case you work on is always the worst one. If you ever need help with anything just ask. It's better than just keeping it to yourself. Also, if you have an idea that might help the profile, don't be afraid to voice your opinion."

"Okay, thanks for telling me."

"Yeah thanks, that makes a lot of things clearer."

"No problem."

"So is Emily coming on this case with us?"

"No, she is going to stay here to finish dealing with her personal issues and hopefully we will be back before she comes into work."

"Okay," I replied.

"We should get to the jet. Do you two have your go bags?" he asked.

"Yep" Harper and I said at the same time while picking up our bags.

"Well okay then, let's go. Bye Baby girl." Derek said as he walked out of the round table room.

"Stay safe, my sweets." Pen said as we walked out of the room.

"Bye Pen." I said as I walked past her to the elevator.

We walked through the BAU to the elevators where Gideon and Hotch were. When Gideon saw that I was walking up to them, I could swear that he had a smile on his face but neither of them were talking. By the time I was over to them, the elevator was already on the floor. Hotch held open the elevator doors for everyone. I was the last person to get on, other than Hotch and because of that, he was right beside me. His cologne filled my nose and I felt as if I was at home. I snapped out of it after I remembered that he was my boss and that I was probably being kind of creepy. 

The elevator dinged and we all stepped off into the underground parking lot. We split up into two different black SUV's: Morgan, Hotch, and I were in one SUV, Gideon, Spencer, JJ, and Harper were in the other. It was quiet throughout the car ride to the airport. We made it to the airport and drove right onto the tarmac to a private jet.

"Wait, you have your own private jet?" I asked from the backseat.

"Yes we do cause we need to be able to go anywhere anytime in case there is a case." Morgan said as he was laughing at my excitement.

"Wow that's so cool" I said like a fucking child. I heard a laugh from the front seat but it wasn't Morgan. I was stunted when I looked in the front and saw it was Hotch.
