My Professor

Rampage

Athena's POV
I sat at my desk doing paper work like usual. I could hear Charlie talking to Don about math stuff. That's when I heard the first shot. My head snapped up and I seen Charlie almost get shot in the head. My heart started racing and all I could do was duck under my desk.
  Megan and David stopped the shooter and my first priority was to make sure Charlie was okay. I walked outside to see Charlie leaving. "Hey wait." I yelled to Charlie he looked at me and sighed. "Good to see your okay." I heard him mumble. "What about you?" I asked him looking him over. "I'm fine just.. Yeah." He said. I couldn't help myself I hugged him.
Charlie's POV
  I was getting so sick of people asking me if I was fine. When Athena asked I was okay but still annoyed. Before I spoke she hugged me. I couldn't exactly hug her back because I was clinging to my laptop. I felt myself relax and I breathed into her hair. " I think I'm going to go back to the school.." I told her as she backed away from the hug. " Care if I go with you?" I smiled and waved her to follow me. I think maybe she might be the best thing for me. 

  After I drove to the school, we both got out and headed over to my office. Athena smiled at me and started running to my office. I laughed and ran with her, sadly she beat me and started spinning in my chair. Her laugh rang in my ears, "I give you props for trying professor." I looked at her and smiled. I was panting to hard to even talk to her. " You...Are...In..really ...good shape." I managed to get out. Then Amita came in and looked at us both. " Charlie I heard what happened are you okay?" Amita asked and I straightened myself up and looked at her. In all honestly I forgot she even worked here. "I'm fine.." I looked at Athena and she was eyeing Both Amita and I. " Athena this is Amita." She nodded looking not very interested. "Amita this is Athena." I told her, she looked at Athena and raised and eyebrow. "Shes my assistant and student kinda.." I told her she looked at me confused. " I thought you were with the FBI since I seen her there before." She looked over at Athena." Well I have a very outstanding IQ and I learn very fast." Athena said not even looking at Amita just at the papers on my desk. Larry then walked in. "Hello Athena!" He said going straight over to where she was. Athena smiled, "Nice to see you professor." She nodded her head to him. "Athena that is a very lovely name." Amita said trying to make conversation with her. "Oh course it is Amita it's Greek!" Larry said causing Athena to giggle. "Athena Goddess of love and war, beautiful name it is.." I said tailing off a bit as Athena looked over to me. Amita had started walking off and out of the room. " I'm going to and grade papers and get ready for a lecture." She said leaving the room completely. Athena sighed and watched Amita leave. " So what exactly happened?" Larry asked looking at Both Athena and I. " I almost got a bullet to my head." I explained. Athena looked pale, " The shooter sucked at shooting,but I was scared." Athena said shocking me, slightly. I looked over at her and put my hand on her shoulder. " Please explain to me why the shooter did this to begin with."Larry said getting up from his spot and walking over to the bored. " Good question, we know he shot the suspect,but for what reason?" I asked looking at Athena. She  sighed and looked back at me. "I have no idea why, unless he had a connection with the suspect maybe." I then got an idea. " Oh my god I got it!" I yelled but then realized I would have to go back to the VCS building.

 Athena's POV

  I could tell that Charlie was nervous about going back to the VCS. I knew that he was scared and I understood that. " Okay so all of these red strings are where he went?" Don asked and Charlie nodded. I was playing with the left over yearn that wasn't being used. " Having fun?" Megan asked me as I got the yearn tangled in my hand. I looked up at her, she was the true profiler almost like a theater play I was her understudy. " Yes and is the profiling working out for you?" Megan looked at me with sympathy, she knew that I loved my job, but hated not being acknowledged. " Hey you will start solving cases soon it takes time." She patted my head and walked to where Don was. Charlie had finished talking to the team and came over to me. " Are you okay?" I asked him before he could talk. " Yeah I'm fine..." He said trailing off. He wasn't fine and I knew that for a fact. " Charlie are you busy right now?" i asked him, he shook his head no and I got up setting the yearn down. " Good lets go, WE ARE LEAVING FOR AN HOUR!" I yelled taking Charlie's hand and walking to the elevator. My yelling caused everyone to look at us funny. I saluted Don and the team as the doors shut, I could see Megan laugh at the reaction everyone had. " So where are we going?" Charlie asked as the elevator door opened and we both walked out. " Somewhere safe." I said simply walking to my favorite place during the spring, which was a park that not many people went to.

  After walking I could see the park in my view. " We are here!" I said dragging Charlie into the park and I was right no one was there. " Why are we at an old park?" Charlie asked looking at me confused. " I come here when I need to think or just get away." I said sitting on one of the swings. I started swaying back and forth, that's when Charlie sat in the swing next to me. After a long silence I spoke. "You know it's okay to be scared Charlie." His head snapped in my direction. " I am not exactly a fan of it.. I don't see how Don can even live with that danger always being there, that's what bugs me the most." I nodded in understanding. " How can you deal with it though?" I looked at him and sighed. " I was scared,but I had my mind somewhere else and I was more worried about someone else." I admitted this caused Charlie to look more curious then what he already was. " Who exactly is that." I could hear the hint of jalousie in his voice. " That is classified information professor,but lets just say he is a rather close friend of mine." Charlie looked straight more then likely trying to keep his emotions under control. I did feel slightly guilty for not telling him, but I can't just say " Charlie I was seriously worried I might not ever see you again and tell you how I feel." No that would be the crashing downfall to my relationship with him. If he likes me back then I want him to make the first move. I can't handle getting my heart broken again.
