The friend from Uni.

Goodbye team.

I walked into the bullpen to see my coworkers weren't there.
'Do I not get to say goodbye to them?'
"Ashley, there you are." Penelope told as she rushed in behind me.
"Where are the others?"
"Just working out some cost stuff in the round table room. Come on." She told before we began to walk there.
She opened the door for the two of us and walked in before I did. When I did I was surprised by the welcome back Ash and the party stuff they set up.
"Welcome back Ashley!" They all exclaimed as they set off confetti bombs or party poppers and I knew I was going to start crying.
"Do you like it?" Emily asked as they all smiled.
"It's was Spencer's and Penelope's idea." Jj added.
I looked towards them and gave them a smile masking my sadness.
"Thank you. Thank you all for this."
"Ash, what's wrong?" Spencer asked making me look towards the ground.
"You know me so well, Spence."
"Ashley, what's wrong?" Derek asked.
"I thought she was going to tell you guys before I got back. Guess she didn't."
"Thought it would be best for you to do it yourself." She told as she walked in.
"Yeah cause it's going to be so much easier for me do it, Erin."
"Do what?" Aaron asked.
"By the end of the week I will no longer be working here. I will be undercover taking down a criminal organisation. Meaning I can not talk or see any of you while I do so." I admitted.
"What?"
"When I was hired, I was hired to go undercover. Spend about a year here to get comfortable until they ship me off to where this thing is."
"Your leaving?" Penelope asked.
"Unfortunately yes. I mean, when I first joined I really wanted nothing to do with any of you guys. Minus Spencer, we are besties."
"You also thought we hated you." David told.
"For so long." I added making us chuckle. "But you guys grew on me. And now I don't want to leave you all."
"Then don't." Spencer told.
"She has to. She's the only one that can do it without it going wrong." Erin stated.
"And I have to do it alone."
"What about your family and your friends?" Spencer questioned.
"I've already spent my time saying goodbye with them. I actually got pulled in a model case where we had to go undercover and pretend to be models with my buddies in Santa Barbara." I explained confusing them. "Whole thing."
"So we really just made you a farewell party?" Jj asked making me nod.
"You did." I told before I began to cry. "And I'm going to miss you all so much."
Spencer came over and pulled me into a hug and I held onto him as best as I could.
"I will let you all celebrate before it's time for you to leave Ash." Erin told making us nod before she left.
"Let's get this show on the road!"

"No, so I have this permanent reminder of how terrible of a Shot Spencer is." I told making us laugh.
"I said I was sorry!" He told making us laugh more.
"You still accidentally shot me!"
"The bullet bounced off of the pole I didn't know I was aiming at! Technically the pole shot you!"

"For his birthday, we put candles on the cake that wouldn't go out no matter how much he blew on them." Derek told making me laugh as Spencer shook his head at it.

"The first time I met her uncle, I'm pretty sure I died before coming back alive."
"That's what happened with my brother!" I told.
"Which one?"
"Edgar. Him and his best friend Nick, they were lawyers together till they went fuck that. Edgar is socially awkward, and has trouble speaking to people he doesn't really know and when he does speak it's quiet."
"That's why I couldn't come over for like a week or so." Penelope told making me smack the table.
"Fucken oath it is you gorgeous girl!" I stated making her smile before we began to laugh. "Anywho, so they became friends and Nick was convinced Edgar was mute. Well six months into their friendship, Edgar tells him 'hey Nick, my family are coming to visit. Don't be too messy.', and the dude just was fucken shocked that he could actually speak. They have a sweet friendship."
"Isn't Nick the one that called him at Christmas as had his hands in his pockets?" Spencer asked.
"That's the one!"
"Maybe her whole family is some dysfunctional lot?" Emily joked.
"Oh you have no idea how dysfunctional we are." I told before having some of my drink.
