Lidia's P.O.V (Alex’s step-sister)

Alex's work team had left Chicago a week ago and She was still making the final arrangements for moving back to DC. three weeks that's how long Alex has in Chicago well technically two because she is planning on staying in DC for the week of her sister's Josie's birthday. 

I had sent off my college application for several colleges in DC I am hoping to get into Washington State the most though 

I came stomping into our room with an excited grin Alex was sitting at the desk hacking into the wifi on her laptop. "I got in!" I exclaimed "I got into Washington State," I was literally bouncing on the balls of my feet 

"That's great Lid congrats," She smiled at me closing her laptop. I pulled her suitcase out from underneath her bed. "Lidia term doesn't resume for another 2 months you don't need to start packing now," she laughed 

"No," I laughed back, "we are going on a trip to celebrated mum said we could,"
"Okay then where are we going," she replied not completely convinced  
"New York, Manhattan to be exact," 
"For how long," 
"I told mum two weeks we are spending the first week with my aunt she's cool you'll like her but the second week you are introducing me to David Rossi "
"So one week in Manhattan and one week in Virginia," 
"Yep for your sisters birthday,"
"That means I only have a week in Chicago, you sure you can't convince her to let us go away for three weeks,"
"Sorry hank is adamant that you will be in Chicago on your 18th birthday," 
"Yeah to go to the airport that's about it," she replied sarcastically, "when do we leave?"
"Tomorrow, mum will take us to the airport Aunt Kellie will pick us up at the airport in New York. It’s a three hour flight but it beats 20 hours on the subway,”
“Sometimes I prefer trains, I fly so often with my job it gets on my nerves,”
 

The rest of the night was spent throwing clothes at each other and packing our suitcase. By 10am the next day we were in the car on the way to the airport Hennery had tried to convince us to get us to only stay for the week but nothing he said would make us change our plans.  The flight was brief and Alex and I were just grabbing our bags when someone grabbed me from behind. I squealed and spun around “Mike,” I yelled throwing my arms around his neck, “Alex this is my cousin mike, mike this is my step sister Alex,”
“so your mums still with that jerk,” he smirked, “no offense Alex,”
“none taken, jerk is polite compared to how I refer to my father,” she replied pulling the handle out of her bag
“come on mum’s just getting coffee,” he said grabbing my arm
“I would kill for a cup of coffee right now,” I sighed
“don’t say that I might have to call my team out here,”  Alex joked
“your team?”  questioned Mike
“Alex is a FBI agent,” I said
“I was an intern until my father stuck his nose where it didn’t belong,” she corrected with a cringe
“an intern what was your field,”
“behavior analysis, I was with the behavioral analysis unit, or BAU for short,”
“profilers,”
“you know what profiling is,”
“ I’m currently studying criminology at NYU,”
“you want to work in criminology?”
“crime journalism,”
“ah so it would be our job to get you out of a job,”
“what do you mean,”
“we have a member of our team who’s is a press liaison, a lot of the time her job is to keep murders out of the press,”
“seems fair you don’t want everyone to go into a state of panic especially if serial killers are involved,”
“finally a journo who understands where we are coming from,”
 

He laughed just as we got to the coffee shop inside the airport. We got to the small coffee shop and I skidded to a stop in front of my aunt we hugged. “I ordered you girls a cappuccino each I hope that is ok,”
“coffee is coffee,”
“unless it is crap, but what can I say my godfather has Italian parents,”
“you must be Alex,”
“yeah, whatever you have been told its not true,”
“so you’re not a total bitch to the ass hat who married my sister,”
“actually that is true,”
