OVERBOARD

Criminal Minds

"If I was some paint, did it splatter? On a promising grown man."

VALERIE JAMESON had always managed to get what she wanted. Whether it was because of her charming smile or the extra bat of her lashes. She knew what she wanted, and she always knew exactly how to get it.

Maybe that was the main reason she joined the FBI academy; her talent of getting answers, like taking candy from a baby. Perhaps that's why she became a negotiator, to get answers to the henious crimes commited, as well as to save lives.

Just as she used to take them without a doubt swirling her mind.

Being a sniper was easy to Valerie, she was patient. Able to wait out a criminal only to eliminate then without a drop of blood near her.

She was good at her job, she made sure of it, proving to both herself and others that she belonged in the FBI. Or at least that's what she convinced herself so she didn't get thrown overboard too.

Valerie Jameson never felt the need to talk about her mother's death. It wasn't as if she remembered much anyway, she had only been 12. Most of the memories she had with her mother were made up as she tried to create them through past pictures, seeking some sort of comfort from them as she never received it anywhere else.

She only knew what happened to Mary Jameson based on what others, like her father or the doctors, had told her. Even though she was there when the accident took place, apparently she had remembered wrongly, and her father made sure she stayed remembering incorrectly. All she had gathered from the forced stories was one piece of advice - to hold onto the boat railing.

So you don't get thrown overboard.

She did have one other she considered her family, her childhood best friend. They had a plan to work in the FBI together ever since they were 8 and they did their best to ensure it was set in stone.

Their plan was both a failure and a success, both graduated separately considering they lost communication at 16, and it was mere impossible to regain it back.

One left to middle eastern countries while the other was left to fight for her sanity.

However, when a case pops up and the Crisis Negotiation Unit and the Behavioural Analysis Unit are joined to work together and a reunion takes place, will that be enough to make her stay or will a certain Agent in Charge be the reason she remains with the BAU?

Will this reason be enough to keep both of her feet on the boat or will it knock her overboard, allowing water to fill her lungs, making one more breath her last.

"And if I was a child, did it matter? If you got to wash your hands."

DISCLAIMERS!
- All rights to criminal minds, the plots, and the characters go to the original creators of criminal minds. However, I do own all of my characters, their plot lines/backstories and most of their dialogue.
- I do NOT tolerate, racism, homophobia, sexism, misogyny, ETC! If you comment anything related or listed, you will be blocked.
- I do NOT write smut, if you came here for this you'll have to look elsewhere.
- Half of this book will be following the criminal minds plot, the other half I will be creating so there WILL BE SPOILERS!!!!
- The Foyet storyline happened before the first act.
-This is my first book, the writing will probably be horrible but I'm hoping it'll get better overtime.

WARNINGS
- This is a criminal minds fanfic. Whatever happens in the show will most likely happen in this book, this includes: blood, gore, murder, violence, torture, death, rape, mental health issues, and A LOT more. Choose yourself over this book.
- As stated, there will be spoilers in this book as some will be following criminal minds plots.

AUTHORS NOTE!!!
I've been thinking about this idea for a while now, please be nice but feel free to correct me on grammar or punctuation.
I'm well aware usually every criminal minds fanfic has the same tragic backstory/story happen in it, but Valerie's story is something I'm hoping no one has used before. So basically, trust the process. I'm also a working student. This book and my future ones will have incredibly slow updates. I will eventually get to updating them, but please be patient.

I also have a tiktok page! @xkatewrites, on there I edit this fanfic as well as future ones to be posted.
