Stopping on the drive to work to let his sister indulge in her caffeine addiction was not a wise decision on Aaron's part but she had almost forced him to do it and he wasn't surprised when she got into his car with a monster, a redbull, a cup of coffee and a box of donuts. 

Juno sat down, getting comfortable when he started the car again as she placed his credit card back into his wallet, "You do not need that much energy," He turned his head to face her as she grabbed a pink straw  from her bag, opening the can of redbull with her teeth before sticking the straw inside and taking a long sip. "Does the team like donuts?" She took out a chocolate donut with rainbow sprinkles and bit into it. 

Juno was never really allowed to get treats when they were younger so now that she was on her own; she seemed addicted to anything sugary. Aaron had warned her it was bad for her health but she said she was young and she didn't want to miss out on experiencing things like staying up all night, eating candy and watching cartoons and she was going to catch up on that. 

"We can have donuts on the jet," Aaron looked over the steering wheel, smiling softly at the way her head snaps in his direction, "I've never been on a private jet," She wiggled her eyebrows, sipping her sugary drink before taking a bite of her donut. "So y'all boujee at the BAU." She let out a childlike giggle, something that had grown with her. 

"How did I know you were gonna say that?" He asked, chuckling as he pulled into the parking garage, Juno's knee begining to tap up and down out of excitement. Her redbull was not helping her at all, Juno had always been hyper and that was the reason her father never let her have any sugar. He already couldn't put up with her. 

"Those fancy profiler skills," She got out of the car first, leaving him to grab all her things. All she had on her was her redbull and half eaten donut. She finished it by the time she had to flash her badge at the front, giggling as she followed after her brother. Her redbul had been finished, tucked away in the pocket of her black cargo pants along with a candy wrapper. 

When they got into the elevator, she took her coffee from him as he let her. He always knew that getting in her way was a bad idea. Juno was kind, she was gentle and she was loving but she hated when someone told her what to do and Aaron didn't blame her. 

Juno was sipping on her coffee through her straw when the doors opened and she was the first one out. It felt like her blood had been set on fire, her brain was working faster than the speed of light and she was starting to think this coffee was not a good idea. 

She stopped in her tracks for a second before she finally followed Aaron, catching up to him with ease. She barely reached his shoulder because instead of wearing heels, she had opted for a pair of black boots. She was gonna wear an entirely black outfit but wore a black and white jumper instead, it was slightly ripped at the front. Her dog, Sugar, had scratched it up one day and she strangely liked it better this way. 

As they came down the stairs, they noticed a man getting up from his desk. He had a file in his hands when he stopped to turn his head to Juno and Aaron. He looked roughly the same age as Juno if not a year older, Juno could see the bags under his eyes like he had never slept and she saw there was some white under his nails which caught her attention as she tried not to look too much. She didn't want to draw attention to it. 

"Juno, I'd like for you to meet Dr. Spencer Reid," Aaron gestured towards the man who gave her a short wave, she returned it. She followed his mannerisms which made his brows furrow for a split second, "It's nice to meet you, I've heard a lot about you." She kept her voice as soft as possible, trying not to let him know just how much sugar she had consumed.

"Likewise," Spencer's gaze shifted from her to the man at her side, "We have a case," He turned and took his leave, Juno watching him before she too turned to Aaron. "He's a real ray of sunshine," She pulled her lips into a thin line, Aaron just nodded as he stared at the man who dissapeared into the round table room. "He's having a rough time so take it with a grain of salt," He turned to face her as she nodded, her face somber as she spoke, "Are you doing anything to help?" He didn't have time to answer because an older man called him from the round table room and the two ran to get there.
