The Soulless: Fingerprints

Chapter 1

"I don't want a newbie Hodge!" I screamed over the phone as I took a yogurt out from the fridge.

"Rosalie! You need a partner! He's the only one we could find!" Hodge yelled.

"Fine! I'll train him for ONE day. If I don't like him he's gone!"

"Your not just throwing him away if you don't like him,"

"It's him or me Hodge."

"Fine, stay on break, I'll find three other people for you to train with, you can choose who you like,"

"Thank you." I said as I hung up the phone.

I walked over to my couch with my yogurt and Oreo, my cat, jumped up with me.

She stared at me and then at my yogurt, and then back at me.

"Can I help you?" I laughed.

She sniffed towards the yogurt. I sighed and got up. The milk in the fridge was really what she wanted, she was just telling me she was hungry.

I poured her some milk and set it in her room. Yep, she had a room. My house was two bedroom, but I didn't want one to be just empty. I bought her a kitty play set, at least twenty toys, and a six month supply of cat nip. She was so spoiled.

She ran to her room and I could hear her licking from the living room.

I flipped on the t.v. and channel surfed. I ended up watching Twilight. Which I really didn't mind.

When a commercial came on I got up and threw my, now empty, yogurt cup out. Then I checked my phone.

"Found two more, you want four to choose from or three?" a text from Hodge read.

"Three is fine, get them to the station I'll be there in about an hour." I texted back.

I ran up to my room and trashed my dresser for my white, button up, collared shirt.

When I found it I threw it on my bed and then trashed the rest of my drawers for my favorite black skinny jeans.

When I found them I went to my bathroom. I turned the water to almost the highest possible and undressed.

I relaxed my tense muscles as the hot water hit my back and ran down my legs.

I got out after I washed my hair and body. Then I dried off and got dressed.

After searching for my keys I made my way to my car.

I put the key in the ignition and started the car. After about ten minutes, I arrived at the station.

I went to the break room, guessing that's where the newbies would be.

"Ah..." Hodge sighed. "Here is our number one agent, Rosalie Griffin."

I rolled my eyes knowing that he was only kissing up.

"I'll take it from here Hodge," I told him. He hesitated but eventually he left.

"Listen up, newbies," I started. "The BAU is NOT something to mess around with! Decaying bodies. Killed women and men. Even sometimes decapitated bodies! Those are all things you might see! You have to be strong, open minded, and you have to think like a criminal."

I pointed towards the first newbie. He had brown hair with blue eyes and he was tall and muscular. His skin was dark and he looked like he had been beaten up a lot, considering all his bruises on his face.

"So, you were kicked out of... seven different school?" I asked.

"Yes ma'am." he strictly said.

"Three of them were online?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Why?"

"Um, I was getting abused at home. So I had lot of problems. Ya hear meh man?"

"Man?"

"Ma'am..."

We did the physical test and he really wasn't all that great.

I took the next one. He was pale and extremely tall, he easily beat my 5 ft 1". He had coal black hair with green eyes. He looked very muscular and I felt a little bit better about him than the other one.

"So you had perfect attendance all middle school and high school and most of grade school, except for one day when you had an emergency dentist appointment." I stated, making sure I had the information right.

"Yes," He replied.

"You had straight A's every year, and you are 26 and graduated from Harvard with masters degree in law enforcement?"

"Correct,"

"Well, your reputation is clean, but you have to be willing to get dirty."

I asked him to follow me. We went to the shooting range, he hit seven bulls-eyes out of eight. He wrestled our best fighter and won. The physical went really well.

Then the girl. She had short blonde hair and blue eyes. She was about as short as my sister who is twelve and four foot five.

"So you went to Yale, you went to summer school once in fifth grade and other than that your grades were squeaky clean."

"Well, like, ya! Duh! I so qualify for this job! Like, I'm gonna be the best BAUist ever!"

"BAUist?"

"Person in the BAU! Like! Duh!"

"Your not even worth the physical." I told her and walked her out to the break room.

I called Hodge back in the room. "I've given this great consideration..." I started. "And I choose, Brayden,"

Brayden was the tall, pale one. He grinned and Hodge walked him to his office.

"I gotta go back to my house," I told Brayden. I gave him my number. "Looking forward to working with you," I gave him a smile and went back home. Oreo greeted me with meow.

I walked to my kitchen. Something scared me so much my first instinct was to grab my gun. I pulled it out and the something put it's hands up.

"Rose! It's me!" I heard Xavier yell.

"Sorry, instinct." I apologized.

"So... I have bad news,"

"Oh god... what?"

"Mom, is in the hospital..."

"What? Why?"

"She had a stroke! But don't worry! She's fine."

"God, couldn't you have started with that?"

"Sorry."

We talked for a while and he finally left. I made myself a chicken dinner and went to sleep. Back to work tomorrow.
