Past, Present and Future

Dani is the niece to the one and only, famous SSA. agent Aaron Hotchner.

Hotch took in Dani when she was a teenager after finding out that she was both sexually and physically abused. Hotch worked to make sure that Dani was safe and never had to be scared that she was going to be hurt again. As Dani got older Hotch noticed that she was smarter than most people but would never call herself a genius. She could read over 30,000 words a minute and had an IQ of 180. She didn't like people to know that about her though.

Dani was sitting in her house finishing her fifth book in a hour when her phone started ringing.

"Hello this is Dani speaking." Dani said successfully hiding her agitation from being called on her day off.

"Dani? It's Aaron. I need your help on a case my team and I are working on and we need another set of eyes. Thiink you can do me a favor and help out?" Dani was confused because her uncle never called to ask for her help if it wasn't important. Last time he called her for help was when just before he started at the BAU when he was still a lawyer and he needed her to go through books and try to find a way to incarcerate someone who had gotten caught smuggling anything and everything from drugs to people and Hotch was the prosecutor who had worked almost four months trying to put the man in prison, and now he's still there doing life without the chance of parole.

"What do you need help with?" Was the response that Hotch got. Hotch breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing what Dani had said. Hotch looked over the case file and gulped knowing how Dani was going to react.

"How fast can you get to Quantico?"

Dani looked at her watch and responded. "Give me a hour and a half. I'll back a bag and stay at your place so I don't have to drive a half hour so I won't have to drive thirty minutes there and back." Dani hung up the phone and went to her room and packed up two suite cases and a duffle bag full of books.

Dani got into her car after putting everything into the back and drove to the FBI building and went into the front and got stopped by someone after she got her visited badge and was searched to make sure she had no weapons. "You know you're suppose to call when you arrive some place to let someone know so that way they can come down and not cause a hassle." Dani turned around to see a smiling Aaron Hotchner.

"Aaron!" Dani exclaimed jogging towards Hotch then wrapped him in a hug making Hotch chuckle as he gave Dani a hug back.

"I missed you." Dani said almost in a whispering tone.

"I missed you too." Aaron said giving Dani a kiss on the side of her head. "We haven't seen each other in too long." 

After Aaron and Dani had their moment Aaron led Dani towards the bull pin where everyone was gathered hunched over case files of their newest case while only one of them was standing in front of a cork board. The person who Dani could tell was a male had dark brown hair and from what she could see had a bit of a boy band style. He was wearing black slacks a purple button shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows while worked on what looked like a geographic profile of the area. 

"Reid." Said Aaron making the mystery man turn around. Dani could feel her heart rate speed up as she noticed that the mystery man who she heard her uncle call 'Reid' was also wearing glasses making him look even more attractive then she could already tell he was. "The is my Niece Dani. She is the one I said i was bring in for assistance during this particular case." 

Dani went forward and held out her hand "Hi. I'm Dani." 

Spencer waved to her "Spencer Reid." 

Aaron cleared his throat. "Now that you two are equated I just wanted to let you know you both are going to be working side by side in this case. Let catch a killer."
