The Beauty & The Brains

5. Confidence

I walk into the bullpen of The BAU needing them for the undercover mission. I walk through the bullpen and up the catwalk to Agent Hotchner's office. I knock twice and open the door.

"Aya, you're down here often." He says noting the 3 times ive been down here in the past month its usually 1 a month at most.

"I've been scoping out The BAU for a undercover mission. The CIA passed a case down to us. Brian and I have been going through the different federal units to see which one we would approach for the case. We decided to approach The BAU team with the case." I hand him the file. He takes it and looks through it and closes it.

"You want us to help with this" he says

"Yes, your team will split up into couples to attend a high class charity gala. Where they will be auctioning off different things. We have reason to believe they are trafficking children." I say folding my hands in my lap.

"If we were to accept when would this be and how long would we be gone for." He asks sitting back in his chair.

"You would be gone for a weekend. You would have the entire week off. O'Conner and I are willing to fly you all to Italy for the week along with your families if its a successful takedown. We've powered up with the Associate Attorney General and SAC Sebastian Salazar Along with CIA Agent Alexandru Florea. The AAG has agreed to give us military back up along with multiple swat teams."

"I would have to talk to my team about it." He says

"O'Conner would prefer if you didn't tell them until you accept"

"Can I have a few minutes to think about it" he asks looking at the picture of Electra and Jack on his desk.

"Time is of the essence Agent" I say getting up, grab the file and walking out of his office. I barely make it out of the bullpen when he opens his door.

"We Accept" he calls out right as I put my hand on the door handle.

"Okay, Bau team if you could meet me in my office in a hour that would be greatly appreciated." I say and walk out of the bullpen. I get on the elevator and go to my office where O'Conner is waiting.

"What did they say" he asks as I open the door.

"They accepted and will be up here in an hour." I say walking over to the the acrylic boards by my conference table. I turn the light on and start separating The BAU into groups.

"Put Prentiss and Aaron together " Brian says, I write them down as the first pair.

"Should I do Dr. Lewis and Dave or Dr. Reid."

"Put her with Dave and you go with Dr. Reid" He says, I write both pairs down then I write Alex and Amoura. That leaves Sebastian and Jennifer.

"Seb and Jennifer or You and Jennifer and Seb leads swat" I say looking at the board.

"What about muscles" he asks.

"Derek is going to lead swat. I might put Seb with him." I say erasing seb's name.

"Can you have Larisa call Seb up here too." I ask and he nods and walks out the room.

"So Seb and Derek will lead Swat. Jennifer and Brian, Dave and Dr. Lewis, Aaron and Prentiss, Dr. Reid and I, Amoura and Alexandru" I mumble to myself then my phone rings. I pull it out of my pocket and answer.

"Dr. Salazar" I answer looking at the board in front of me.

"Aya its me and Alex" Amoura says

"Sorry" I say
