Forensic Psychology (Spencer Reid/Criminal Minds AU)

Four

Everyone is getting ready to put together the profile and I am sitting in the corner of the room drinking water and going over what I will say in my head. This is my first profile and I am so mervous, I feel unprepared. Reid notices me and walks towards me.

"Hey you will do great!" He pats my back and reassures me.

"Thanks, you have been really helpful to me. I don't know how I would have started this job without you" I am incredibly thankful for him.

My comment makes him blush. JJ then walks into the room and tells us that the squad is ready. We walk into the room and there are chairs with officers in them, facing us.

Hotch begins "We are looking for a white male that is a sophomore at Vanderbilt University, so he is between the ages of nineteen and twenty"

Reid continues, "He is an English major and in his first English class the first assignment was Porphyria's Lover"

I elaborate, "He is in love with his victims so he is most likely a shared ex boyfriend of these five women"

I take a deep breath as I look into the blank expressions of the officers.

"His friends would describe him as over emotional or passionate" Prentiss continues.

"He is constantly ending friendships and starting new ones. Otherwise, he is basically a loner" Rossi says.

Morgan finishes with, "He isn't armed but he is considered very dangerous and irratic"

The officers then get up and start to research.

"I am going to call Garcia to get a list of suspects" Morgan tells Reid, Hotch, and I. I am confused on who Garcia is.

"Garcia is our tech guru" Reid fills me in. Morgan dials her number and she picks up immediately.

"Speak to me chocolate thunder" She says. That is a weird way to talk to your coworker.

"Baby girl, I need you to look for all the English majors at Vanderbilt University that took a freshman English class that taught Porphyria's Lover" He tells her.

"Okay....I have 53 students here" She says.

"Why don't we just take this list to the friends and roommates of the victims and see if anyone recognizes a name" I suggest.

"Good idea" Morgan tells me.

"Okay let's go" I say abruptly ready to catch this guy.

"Hold on Sharon, Morgan and Rossi will go. You stay here with Prentiss and Reid" Hotch stops me in my tracks.

"Sir I really think-" I start to protest.

"We have a team that works efficiently so please manage to fit into this team" He says, "Morgan and Rossi you may leave"

Morgan and Rossi leave and I storm into the room we have been working in, Prentiss and Reid follow after me. I look in my purse for my cellphone in a haste. When I can't find it, I mumble the word, "fuck" still incredibly angry. I throw my purse on the table and bury my face in my hands. Reid kneels in front of where I am sitting and pulls my hands down and holds them. Prentiss looks at me sympathetically from across the room.

"What are you looking for" he asks me calmly.

His sincerity instantly makes me feel better and my phone seems irrelevant. I realize how irrational I am being, "Umm my phone"

He let's go of my hands and grabs my purse, "Do you mind"

I shake my head, no. He looks into the purse and pulls out my phone immediately and hands it to me. Suddenly a detective walks in. She has long blonde hair, perfectly applied make up, and is wearing a tight black dress. Her name is Josie Langdon and I have noticed her staring as Reid and Morgan walked by.

"Um excuse me Spencer Reid can I talk to you?" She asks him sweetly.

"Umm sure" Reid pushes himself up from my knee and exits the room with Josie. He gives me a look of confusion as he leaves.

Prentiss approaches me and says, "Looks like he is getting some tonight"

"Really? I don't think he will go for her" I say more as a wish than a certainty

"Oh yeah he obviously has a thing for you" She says and I am suprised.

"You think so? Is that even allowed, we are coworkers"

"You like him too!"

"I didn't say that"

Reid then comes back into the room and I look out the window and Josie looks crushed.

"What happened?" I ask him.

"She asked me out but I said no considering she lives 630 miles away from me" He responds.

"Sure that's the reason" Prentiss smirks.

My phone then rings and I look down and it says Morgan so I pick up and put him on speaker.

"So I interviewed all the victims friends and they said that George Colton was someone that the victims hung out with quite a bit before the murders" Morgan tells us

"Okay we will be there immediately!"

Reid then calls Garcia to get Colton's dorm and we all run to Hotch who is talking to the police chief.

I exclaim, "Hotch we have our unsub"
