chapter 2 - this is gonna be interesting

tw: mentions of guns, blood, sexual assault, death

New day, new outfit, new boring paperwork to do. It has been almost a week and there has been nothing interesting happening in the BAU. Paperwork after paperwork, eight to four every single day. At this rate Melanie would be more entertained in prison. She was an undercover agent, she was used to being in the field. Paperwork was only a tiny part of her job when she previously worked for the FBI.

Her teammates had tried to get to know her, well everyone except Dr. Reid, but Melanie didn't really open up to them. She only talked to them when she had to and even then she managed to act like a total bitch towards them.

"Everyone gather around, we have a new case" JJs words echoed happily in her mind. There it is, finally she thought. She couldn't help but to be little bit happy about finally getting away from the endless paperwork. No more boring office days for agent Moreno.

Everyone was talking about the new case around the round table but Melanie stayed silent. She was sat between Emily and Morgan, Dr. Reid obviously avoided her, sitting as far away from her as possible. Good for him, the others should do the same.

"The information given there's so little to profile" Reid said and everyone agreed but Melanie gave a small laugh to Reid's comment. Everyone turned to look at her confused and Moreno sweared that she could sense a hint of offense in Reid's eyes.

"Please you guys do this for living and still you all suck at this profiling thing" Melanie said arrogantly. "The unsub is obviously a woman. The methods used are easy, the unsub doesn't have to overpower their victims" Moreno explained.
"The victims are all high power men and i bet that if they didn't have so much money they would be involved in a lot of harassment or sexual assault scandals" she continued explaining.

"Garcia, check that out. Find everything you can" Hotch said to Penelope. Penelope was good, she could probably find all hidden secrets about these men.

"Don't get me wrong, but these men probably had it coming. The unsub is just doing what the police failed to do" Melanie said with emotionless face. "The unsub isn't just kidnapping and poisoning random people, she knows what she's doing" Moreno started to explain again. "She's persistent and careful, no witnesses, no fingerprints, no traces, all that implies that this is a work of a woman" she explained to the team. God, how didn't these professionals see it right away, it was so obvious.

Garcia came back with a long list of things that these men had covered up with money. "Told you so" Melanie said with a smug smirk in her face. She enjoyed this situation so much even though everyone else was probably annoyed right now.

"Great job agent Moreno" Hotch said. To her it sounded genuine, she didn't think it was a lie. Oh how she wanted to smile a little right now. Melanie didn't do that, instead she chose to be a bitch: "Yeah thanks, learn to do your jobs so i don't have to keep doing this".
"No wait let's make a deal, you guys do my paperwork and i do this briefing think where i explain every obvious thing to you guys" she said kinda sarcastically. But truthfully Moreno would definitely take that deal if it was ever offered to her.

Her deal was pushed aside with a couple of eye rolls from Hotch, Reid and JJ. On the good side Melanie could swear that she saw subtle smiles from Emily and Morgan, they really found her joke funny. Does this team hire models or something? she tough now that she paid attention to her two smiling teammates appearances for the first time.

She was first on the plane after Hotch had told them that 'wheels up' was in 20 minutes. She sat comfortably in the sofa. "You know i could get used to this" Melanie said when rest of the team arrived to the private jet.
