"New recruit, new recruit, new recruit."

Penelope's grip on my arm tightens as she drags me down the hall and into her office, no doubt gearing up to gossip about the new recruit she's singing about. I barely stepped off the elevator before she caught me, beaming with excitement.

She closes the office door behind us, resting her back against it, her jaw practically on the floor. "I saw her!"

She's asking to be teased at this point. "Who?"

Penelope's eyebrows lower as she gawks at me, reaching over to slap the side of my head. "The new girl!"

"Someone new is starting?" I gasp, taking a step back. "Why didn't you say anything?"

Penelope takes this opportunity to whack me again. "This is not the times for jokes," She says, before her excitement takes over once again. "I saw her walking in with Spencer! They both got out of his car—"

"Wait, wait, how do you know all of this?"

Penelope looks at me like I'm stupid. "I hacked the security camera's... obviously."

I pinch the bridge of my nose when I chuckle. I honestly don't know why I even asked because of course she hacked the cameras.

"Something is up with this whole situation," Penelope says, looking like her mind in running a mile a minute. "Averie has been avoiding me too and she only does that when she's hiding something because she can't lie to me. So, what's the deal? Do her and Spencer know her?"

"Baby girl, I know just as much as you," I sigh, draping my arm over her shoulder. "Which is..nothing."

This new girl has been the talk of the office the past few weeks since Penelope dragged it out of Hotch that there was in fact someone new starting.

It's all been very secretive, Hotch and Rossi wouldn't even tell us her name. But that's probably because with her name, Penelope would look her up and we would know her social security number and where she went to middle school before ever laying eyes on her.

A knock at the door interrupts us before Penelope can pull up the hacked security camera footage and we look over just in time to see JJ peak her head through the door.

"She's out of Hotch's office," JJ says, grinning. "You guys ready to meet her?"

Penelope practically takes off running out of her office towards the bullpen, so fast that it leaves her empty desk chair swivelling behind her. Laughing, JJ and I both take a much more normal pace when we follow behind her.

Pushing open the glass doors of the bullpen, I see the group over by our desks. As expected, Penelope already has the new girl wrapped up in a hug, causing her back to be to me as I approach.

I know I shouldn't, but I'm a guy so of course I check her out.

Her chestnut hair flows down past her shoulders and my eyes drag down the slope of her waist, right to where the white shirt she's wearing cinches and is tucked into her skirt. I'm a total sucker for a pencil skirt and the navy one she's wearing is tight in all the right places and I can't even focus on her hips and ass for more than a millisecond or I'm going to have a bigger problem.
