Hotchniss | ONESHOTS

Lesson pt. 1

"Hey Hotch, have you been introduced to the new member?" JJ knocked on his office door.

"No. Do I even want to bother?" He replied.

Hotch never truly cared about anyone else except for his team, the people he saves and his job. Everytime they get a new team member, it just means more distrust within the team. Of course he has to take precaution, it is his job as the chief of the BAU. He sees new team members as a threat - no one knows what a person is hiding.

"She seems nice, pretty, tough too. Highly qualified." JJ complimented her.

"Hmmm, being pretty won't get her anywhere. We'll see about that qualified thing. Where is she?" He finaly got up from his desk.

"Down there, talking to Morgan." JJ pointed down at the bullpen.

"Of course." Hotch scoffed.

-

"Prentiss. I see you have met the BAU team." Hotch came up to them.

"Sir. It is a pleasure to meet you.." She smiled widely, putting her hand up for a handshake.

"I wish I could say the same." He shook her hand reluctantly.

"Sir! Something has came up." Garcia announced.

"Alright let's go guys! Prentiss... show me what you've got." He looked at her coldly.

Right off the bat, he already made assumptions of her; that she doesn't take the job seriously seeing that she was flirting with Morgan already.

"Go ahead Garcia." Hotch said once everyone sat around the round table.

"Thank you sir! Alright, welcome Emily! This case gave me goosebumps.." Garcia began her chit chat.

"Garcia..." Hotch mumbled.

"Right, sorry. Okay, 3 children under the age of 10 has been kidnapped in a span of a week which is... crazy. First one is Kayman Lee, then Jay Smith and yesterday Harriet Specter was reported missing." Garcia showed pictures of the children.

"Where is this?" Reid asked.

"California." Garcia answered.

"Alright. We can brief more on the plane, wheels up in 30." Hotch announced.

The team immediately left to get ready - except Prentiss.

"Uhm, where is the jet located?" She approached Hotch.

"You can follow me Prentiss. You have your go bag ready?" Hotch asked sternly.

"Yes sir. I just need to get it from my desk."

"Go ahead then. I will wait on the elevator." He said, walking away from her.

'What's his problem?' She thought.

-

"Ready?" Hotch asked, not looking up from his phone.

"Yes sir." She mumbled.

"Is that all you have Agent Prentiss?"

"Pardon me?" She was confused.

"That small tote bag isn't gonna cut it. Didn't Strauss give you a black duffel bag yesterday?" He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Yes sir, but I don't think it is necessary." She reasoned as they stepped into the elevator.

"Tell me what you have in there." Hotch said.

"Pardon?" She said defensively this time.

"I do not wish to repeat myself agent. Tell me the contents of the bag."
