Criminal Minds/Aaron Hotchner - Elastic Heart.

The Team

After spending almost two hours with Hotch filling out paperwork, JJ came bursting through the door "Hotch, we've got a case" she stated, breathing heavy. He nodded "Round room, 10 minutes" he stated. She nodded, giving you a small smile as she marched out of the room, down the corridor into a room at the end of the levelled floor. Hotch noticed your express "Don't worry, this is quite normal here" he stated standing up "It seems you'll be starting straight away" he spoke as his back is towards you. You stood up not quite sure what to do "That's fine" you answered "I'm quite used to this actually" remembering back to your old job working in the NCA back in Britain. Hotch nodded "NCA, wasn't it?" he questioned, you pulled your blouse down again and nodded "Yes. 6 years" you muttered. You'd enjoyed working at the NCA (National Crimes Agency). In Britain, there isn't anything that you'd call close to what the FBI ( Federal Bureau of Investigation) does, to be honest, the NCA is the only thing close to what the FBI does in the UK but it still covered different aspects of the work that maybe the FBI didn't or did do.

Hotch moved across the room, leading to the door. Opening it and pulling one hand toward allowing yourself through the door first. "What a gentleman," you thought. You walked slightly behind Hotch as he strutted towards the "Round room" as he mentioned earlier. You had noticed quite early on but everyone within the FBI or even the BAU is hugely and you mean extremely well maintained. Maybe a slight exception for Reid but his own ethical clothing reminded you more of a College professor than an FBI agent, but you couldn't actually see Reid in a fully decked out suit like Agent Hotchner. You shook your head slightly getting the image out of your head, Hotch raised an eyebrow at you, but you shook your head again, shrugging off the questionable eyebrow as nothing he needed to know.

As you entered the room, you noticed that it literally was a roundtable. "So, like the actual Knights of the round table?" you thought. You smiled at the thought, Derek, JJ, Reid and Emily were both present in the room all chatting amongst themselves, you noticed another person sitting in the room, an older man with a face full of facial hair, combed back hair and a true but eye-catching smile, you instantly liked him. He stood up noticing your gaze on him and presented his hand to you, you grasped it and smiled "I'm agent David Rossi, Nice to meet you". His handshake has a firm, but gently at the same time, you'd loved his books even if you were from the UK, his popularity was global. "I'm Eiki Jones, Nice to meet you, Agent Rossi" you smiled, nodding in his direction. He smiled back, releasing the grip upon your hand, holding one of them up as he positioned himself back down in his chair "Please, call me David" he answered.

You nodded, taking mental notes that "Jennifer likes to be called JJ and Agent Rossi prefers to be called David, and obviously the lovely chunk of chocolate Agent Morgan likes to be called Derek". Not that it bothered you, as you now locked eyes with Derek as he sat holding up his coffee, saluting to you.

Hotch instantly drew you back to the world of reality "Seats please, we have a new case" he answered then turned to JJ. "The case we have is in, Louisiana, New Orleans" She mentioned as she clicked a remote in her hand as three pictures of three quite attractive women appeared on the board. She continued her conversation "3 women have been found raped, strangled and placed around New Orleans". You could feel the surroundings in the room go from happiness and humour to a deadpanned weight of seriousness and professionalism. You gulped, not quite sure if you'd fit into their team. "The first victim is Charlotte Becketts, 25 years old, works at a Liberty Bank on Canal St, single and lives by herself. The Second Victim is Rachel Parker also 25 years old; active jogger works as a professional blogger and a stay at home mom to a 3-year-old daughter Ginny, her husband Jimmy Parker works as a builder at  Woodward Design+Build on S Jefferson Davis. And the third Victim is Amanda Green, 27 years old, Married to her Wife Claire Green, they had only been married for six months, Amanda is Unemployed but her partner Claire works as a hairdresser at Beauty On De Bayou in Timoleon St they live locally, so neither of them drives".

Reid jumped in "Any connections indicating that they knew each other?" He questioned. Rossi answered his question "It says that apparently all three girls lived in the opposite area's of New Orleans, went to different gyms, worked in different sectors of jobs even went to different shopping centres" lightly placing the folder on the table "I can't see any indication that these girls knew each other, let alone passed each other in the streets" he mentioned. Emily nodded agreeing "You'd think that they'd have something relating to each other but nothing stands out" Before Derek buts in "Well we can agree that this Unsub has a type" he points at the board "All blondes, petite has a racial preference white and green eyes". Everyone nodded, no one could decline that fact all woman had blonde hair and green eyes, they were all good-looking, attractive and just as Derek had mentioned on the small side.

Emily chipped in "It says here that all the woman had quite high maintenance figures, obviously active goers. Goes to the gym, eats healthy doesn't drink any carbonated drinks" she flung one of her hands in the air "This Unsub likes high maintenance woman" She answered. Rossi interjected "Which means the Unsub either has a fetish for a well-groomed woman who have high-stakes jobs" he nodded "Or there's something that we're missing. All three victims come from different environments, families and each woman is different from the other. One's married and has a child, Another is single and lives alone, and the last is married in a same-sex marriage, there couldn't be anything more details further apart in this case" he muttered.

Hotch nodded "Good. Wheels up in 30" as he stood up and strutted down the corridor. You turned slightly watching his silhouette fade into the background and around the corner. As you turned back Derek as smirking at you "What?" you questioned Derek, smacked his lips together and winked "Like what you saw?" He questioned. Instantly your face flushed red, was he implying that you were checking out your Boss?!

At you reaction Emily, Rossi and Derek started laughing. Before you could answer back, someone charged into the room at lightning speed "Oh my god. I cannot believe how much blood and bleh is on those images that were sent to me but by god Derek Morgan I'll need therapy before long!" A larger girl appeared in the room, blonde bundles of hair stuck out, she had a bright pink dress on with flower accessories in her hair, she instantly made eye contact with you and blurted out "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" as she placed one of her hands over her chest "I wasn't expecting anyone else in here, I'm-" you cut her off before she finished her sentence "Penelope Garcia, right?" you answered, handing you hand out to shake hers "Yes!" She shrieked You smiled; you instantly loved her!

"I love your dress!" you muttered to her, her eyes lit up "Thank you! Oh my god is that a Bracelet from Chan Luu?!" She shrieked. Instantly pulling you into her warm aroma. You'd  completely forgotten everyone in the room, as they slowly and quietly passed by both you and Garcia. "it is! How did you know?" She questioned, surprised she knew. Patting her chest and smiling from ear to ear "I've been eyeing up a White Pearl Double Wrap Bracelet for weeks!" she muttered, sighing slightly. She touched the bracelet on your wrist now in plain view "Isn't this a Silver Shade Pearl Single Charm Wrap Bracelet?!" She smiled "It's to die for!".

You nodded, smiling "My mother bought it for me for my birthday last year, I love it so much. She knows how much I loved my bracelets and decided to send me this for my birthday". You smiled at the memory of opening your parcel from your mother on your birthday, as you'd just finished opening the package and stared at the fabulous bracelet you now called your own. Your mother's calling ID appeared on your mobile phone, you instantly punched the answer button and shrieked down the phone to her.

Garcia was the most energetic and amazing person you'd met, She was warm and reminded you of meadows back in England on a spring afternoon, Emily reminded you of a good bar of dark chocolate, sharp, elegant but so enjoyable to be around. Rossi? A bottle of Processco Wine, red naturally, Rich, bubbly but sleek and intelligent. Reid reminded you of a good book, one you knew you'd instantly love before even opening the first page, Morgan? toffee! However, you didn't quite like the texture of toffee you adored the taste, you couldn't quite put your finger on what Hotch would be, but you'd pushed that out of your mind, not really wanting to think of it.
