Alexander (Grimm) - Crossover AU

Chapter 14

"Who's that woman?"

When Alexander walked into the precinct, you didn't think he would bring a friend. She was stuck to his side, dressed very nicely. 

The black dress seemed to highlight her in the best way. Your frown deepened as Alexander chatted with Nick on the other side of the room. Hank just smirked as you seemed to sip your drink angrily.

"Might be a girlfriend." Hank spoke.

"What? No, Alexander would tell me if he was dating. I would be the first one to pick up on it either way."

"I don't know, she's standing pretty close."

You gripped your cup. Standing, you place it down as you march over there.

"Nick, Alexander, what are you guys up to?"

Alexander turned to you with a smile and the woman straightened.

"Ms. Jane, great timing. This is Supervisory Special Agent Emily Prentiss. She's a colleague of mine based in Quantico. We've worked in quite a few instances. Emily is one of the best."

You held out your hand and she shook it with a smile.

"It's nice to finally meet you. I've heard a lot about your skills. As a profiler I have to say I'm envious. You make my work look like child's play."

"Well, what can I say, I'm gifted." You laugh and Nick raises a brow, but says nothing.

"We were talking about the last attack. After Alexander was kidnapped the FBI has been keeping close tabs on all activity. They found Jefferson in Curacao. He's being processed as we speak. This time he won't get away. His drug buddies aren't going to be too happy that he sold them out." Nick informs.

Now Prentiss's presence makes sense. She's too high up for this to be a casual visit. Her stance emits authority and protectiveness. She must know Alexander decently well, because the mention of his kidnapping and she'd brushed her waist. A subconscious act to reach for a gun.

"We were just about to see Captain Renard to discuss further, would you like to join us?" Alexander offers.

You shake your head.

"Nah, you know all that official stuff is boring to me."

Alexander sends you a subtle smile, one that both Nick and Prentiss notice.

"I'll leave you guys to it." 

You give a little playful curtsey as you walk away. Alexander's eyes stay trained on you straight to the point that you're back, sitting with your cup of tea. You catch his stare, titling your head as you point to the cup. He shakes his head with a laugh.

"We should get going." Nick says.

Alexander nods, following Nick to Renard's office, not before sending you one last glance. Once the door closes you suddenly regret not joining them.

"Damn it."

You know that you'll have to wait until they leave to even get a chance to speak with Alexander some more.

For the stretch of time you try to keep busy.

You must have made at least three cups of tea. As time ticks you become annoyed.

When they finally do exit the office, Prentiss and Alexander are apparently off on business. She sends you a friendly wave and you return it with a tight smile. Nick comes out moments after, walking over and sitting at his desk. He takes one look at you.

"If you glare at her any longer you'll burn a hole into her head."

You huff.

"Be quiet, peasant!!"
