Agent Severide

Chapter 1

Quantico, Virginia

Zoey a short woman with platinum blonde hair sat at her desk sipping on a can of Monster while she finished off some desk work from the case they closed yesterday. "You're here early," Morgan said causing the blonde to nod acknowledging what he said but too busy to look up at her work partner she'd been paired with for 2 years now. Her partner looked over her desk noticing the garbage had 3 cans of Monster sitting in it along with a wrapper from something in one of the vending machines. 

"Did you even go home last night?" Morgan asks now sitting on the edge of his desk watching the blonde who just continued writing out paperwork occasionally stopping to chug back some of her energy drink. "No, I couldn't sleep so I figured I might as well be useful and finished off my paperwork and did half of yours" Zoey replies continuing to write, her comment made Morgan look back at his desk where half the paper stack he left last night vanished. "You hate paperwork," JJ says hearing the conversation as she, Prentiss and Reid walk into the office together. "Well it beats tossing and turning all night," Severide says with a half smile slamming back the rest of the energy drink she opened less than an hour ago. 

"You know the first energy drink was actually made in 1962 by a company by the name of Taisho that created a herbal energy drink which was 90% cough syrup," Dr. Reid said looking at the can his colleague threw out. The blonde went to go answer him when her phone rang on the desk in front of her causing her to instantly pick it up more out of habit. "SSA Severide," the blonde said into the line. "So formal" her brother Kelly said through the line causing her to smile and let out a light laugh. "Says the Squad Lieutenant, so what's up?" she asks through the line, "Just wanted to call my baby sister before she got to the office, I just got off shift" Kelly says through the line. 

Zoey smiled knowing that even though she worked in Virginia her brother would call her twice a day to check in with her and he had been like that since she took the job. She didn't mind though especially when a lot of the cases her team worked on were fucked up on so many levels. Hearing from her brother always made her relax a bit, "I came into the office early, I couldn't sleep," she said through the line hearing her brother let out a sigh. "I didn't sleep much either," her brother replied. "Are you still coming home so we can celebrate?" her brother asks, "I'm not really sure, If we're not on a case I can see what Hotch says" she replies to her brother. "Okay well do that, because we always get together on this day... For Shay" her brother's voice was sad. 

Zoey sat back letting out a sigh rubbing her temples with her eyes closed, "I know Kelly like I said I'll see what my boss says. I'm gonna try to be home later okay." she says through the line. "I love you Zo, let me know what the plan is so I can pick you up from O'Hare" her brother spoke. "Love you too Kelly, I'll let you know when I know," she says before she disconnected the line noticing the looks she's getting from her team. "What?" Severide asks looking at them as she stood up walking over to a small set of stairs before walking up them and knocking on Hotch's office door. 

"Come in," his voice called as Severide made her way into the unit chief's office, "Severide, you're here early" the tall dark-haired man spoke setting his pen down on his desk and turning his attention to her. "Yeah, I couldn't sleep. Hotch I was wondering if the team didn't have a case today. Would it be alright if I flew home for at least the day? I finished off all my paperwork and most of Morgan's last night so we're a little ahead in that aspect" the blonde spoke. 

Hotch paused looking at her, "Is everything alright?" he asks with concern written on his face. Severide nods, "My brother and I lost our best friend 2 years ago today and we always go for drinks to celebrate her. Keep her spirit alive," she said smiling at some of the memories that came to mind of her older brother and her best friend. "Yea, go ahead. Just keep your phone on we might need you. I need you back by tomorrow night at the latest thought," Hotch told her earning a smile on her face. "Thank you Hotch," she told him earning a small smile back, "Now get out of here," he told her as she did as she was told walking out of his office and over to her desk. 

Severide started cleaning her desk up before gathering her phone, keys and purse. "You heading out already?" Prentiss asks noticing the blonde packing up. "Yea, I'm meeting my brother in Chicago," the blonde says sending them a small smile and earning a confused look from everyone. "But you just got here!" Garcia says walking into the office and over to the team that had gathered around Severide's desk. "I'll be back tomorrow night If we don't have a case. I'll see you all when I get back" Zoey says before walking back through the double glass doors and towards the elevator. 

On the way out of the building, the blonde sent a message to her older brother letting him know she was on her way to the airport to fly home. Zoey climbs into her 2008 Camero starting the muscle car allowing it to roar to life before she drove out of the parking lot and away from the federal building driving towards the airport. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So I decided to rewrite the storyline of this book, I wasn't a fan of how fast the storyline was going before. The characters will stay the same just rewriting the storyline a bit.
