"Hey Dad." I said as I drove out of the coffee shop parking lot. "Are you almost here? You're already 10 minutes late for your first day. I may be your father, but I'm also your boss." He warned and I sighed, "I'm so sorry. The cashier broke the register at the coffee shop so I had to wait till he fixed it. I promise it won't happen again," I pulled into the parking lot of the BAU, "I'm here. I'll see you soon." I hung up and stuffed my phone in my purse before walking in. Once I reached the right floor, I walked out the elevator and felt something hit me in the forehead. I yelped and jumped back, "I'm so sorry," Said a guy who walked over and grabbed the bottle. "I'm Dr. Spencer Reid. That's Penelope Garcia, Jennifer Jareau, call her JJ, and Emily Prentiss. I was just demonstrating a magic trick and-" I cut him off, "It's fine. No harm done. My name's Alexis Hotch." The four seemed shocked once I mentioned my last name. "You're Hotch's kid?" Penelope asked. I nodded and smiled, "It's also my first day here. I'm supposed to go meet my dad. It was nice meeting you all." I headed to my dad's office and saw him filling out paperwork. "I have arrived father!" I said being overdramatic. He chuckled, "So we're having a meeting in about 10 minutes for a new case. In the mean time, do you know who Reid is?" I nodded. "Get him to show you your desk. It's across from Morgan's." He handed my my gun and badge. I smiled and left his office. I spotted Reid pouring himself a cup of coffee so I went over, "Hey. Could you show me where my desk is?" He nodded and lead me to a group of desks in the center of the room. It was close to Reid's so at least I could talk to him. I thanked him and started setting up my stuff. Right after I finished, I heard the elevator  ding and glanced over to see a gorgeous guy walk out. I didn't realize I was staring till our eyes locked and I quickly looked away. I saw Emily smirk and maje her way over to me, "That's Derek Morgan, but we call him Morgan. Have fun sitting across from him." He's the guy that sits across from me? Oh god. Emily walked away as he made his way over to me, "Hey. You Hotch's daughter?" I nodded and gulped, "Um, y-yeah. It's my first d-day." Dammit Alex stop stuttering! Morgan smirked slightly, "Well I'm Derek, but call me Morgan, or just call me." And with that he winked and headed to his desk and sat down. I stood there for a moment in shock before grabbing my phone and heading over to Garcia. "Hey Garcia. Where's your desk?" She laughed slightly, "I don't have one. I have a palace" She grabbed my hand and dragged me to a room. I glanced around in awe. Computers covered a wall and little knick knacks were placed around the desk. "This is so cool." I whispered. She giggle at my statement, "It's my sanctuary." Before I could reply, JJ stuck her head through the door, "Meetings starting." We followed her up to the conference room and took our seats. The only seat left was between Emily and Morgan. I sat down and JJ passed me a tablet. I thanked her and read through the file that was on the screen. "Danielle Jones, 22, was found dead on a bridge in New York. She had bruises on her arms, legs, and waist. Cause of death was three stab wounds to the chest. She is the third victim in the past two weeks and each victim have the same mark burned on them." JJ pulled up a picture of the victims who each had an H burned on their stomach. I noticed all the victims were girls and brunette. They were in the age range of 24 and 29 and all had the same stab wounds. "Do you think he's making it so everyone knows it's him commiting the murders?" Emily asked, "It's very likely. When farmers brand their cattle, it's to show they own them." Reid said. "They're all brunettes and around the same age. Maybe something happened to him recently involving a brunette. Divorce, lost a family member, etc." I said. My dad stood up, "Wheels up in ten." My dad told me to keep an overnight bag in my car so I was prepared. I walked out and went to my car to recieve my bag. I quickly headed to my dad's office and waited for him. We were going to take his car to the airport. Once he finished packing up his work, he lead me to his car and we got in. Soon enough we were off to the airport.

I was sitting in the jet looking out one of the windows when someone sat down next to me. I glanced over and saw it was JJ. "Hey." I said and yawned, "Hey." We talked for a good half hour till the jet landed. I got my bag and headed out to see two SUVs and a black car. "JJ and Reid, I want you to go down to the station and dig up some more information. Morgan and Alexis go check out the crime scene. Prentiss and I will go talk to the families. Meet at the station in 2 hours." We all nodded and got into seperate vehicles. I got into the passenger's seat of an SUV and Morgan got into the driver's seat. Pretty soon we were on the road. "So," Morgan started, "What made you wanna join the BAU? I know your dad works here but still." I shrugged slightly, "I've always been into Criminology and the idea of helping people. I graduated highschool when I was 15 and finished college when I was 22. I decided about a year ago I wanted to be apart of the BAU and asked my dad. It wasn't his decision of course, but he talked to Strauss and she set up an interview. Next thing I knew, my best friend got in a car accident and was on life support. My dad let me go down to California to visit her family for a couple monthes. We decided to take her off after a month sicne she wasn't really living. I just got back about a month ago and here I am." He gave me a sympathetic look, "I'm sorry about your friend." I smiled at him slightly, "It's okay. She's in a better place now." We pulled up to the crime scene and got out. I notice that a chunk of Danielle's hair was chopped off, "Did all the other victims have some hair missing?" I asked the sheriff that had approached us and introduced himself. He nodded, "Yeah. We have no idea why though." Morgan and I shared a look and said at the same time, "Trophies." I tilted her wrist and examined the H, "Either his first or last name begins with an H, or the woman who left his life had a first name with an H." Morgan nodded and turned his attention to the blood stains lining the ground. "It looks as if she was dragged. My guess is she was actually killed over here," He said walking over to a different area of the bridge. "Why would he move her there though?" Margan asked himself. An hour later the team was sittig together discussing facts we found. "Mrs. Jones noticed Danielle had become slightly more panicked and on edge a week before the murder. She used to always go to parties, but all of the sudden she stopped going outside as much. Do you think she knew the unsub?" Emily said. I shrugged, "Maybe she met the unsub at a party. All the victims attented them so it would make sense." I said and JJ spoke up, "Maybe he was in the same age range then." We all shared more facts then decided to get Garcia to find a list of complaints involving parties. We waited a few seconds till her face popped up on the screen of Reid's computer, "Aloha my sweeties, what can I help you with?" I chuckled at her response till Dad spoke up, "Garcia we need a list of recent complaints involving parties." Garcia started typing on her computer, "That date back how far?" "A week before the first murder." I spoke up. It only took her a few seconds to find a list and send it to our phones. "Thanks Garcia." Emily and I decided to go talk to the families and see if any of the victims attended the same party while the rest of the team set up a profile. We found out each of the girls attended a party at the same address but at different times. Each party was a week before each murder. I got out my phone and called Morgan, "Hey gorgeous. What's you find?" I ignored his compliment, "Each victim attended a party a week before their death at the same address. Get someone and go check it out. I'll tect you the address." I hung up and texted him the address of the house. It was already 8pm so Emily and I decided to go to the hotel for the night sincce we were sharing a room. I texted my dad the information we found and told him I was going to the hotel. When we pulled up to the hotel, I grabbed my bag from the back seat and followed Emily inside. "Room for Prentiss?" She said to the receptionist who typed somethign into her computer and handed us a key. "Enjoy your stay." We thanked her and headed to the elevator. I was claustrophobic so I slightly freaked out when the doors closed. My breathing got heavy and I clenched my fists. I guess Emily noticed cause she held my hand and comforted me. The doors opened and we carried out bags to our room, unlocking the door and stepping inside. I looked around and admired the beauty. It had two queen sized beds, a small living room, and a small kitchen. I set my bad down beside my bed, "Do you wanna order pizza?" I asked emily who had walked out of the bathrrom. She smiled, "Sure. I'll call now. You can have a shower if you want." I nodded and grabbed some clothes before heading into the bathroom. I set it down on the counter and looked at myself in the mirror. I turned on the shower and stripped down. The water was slightly cold at first but it heated up in a few seconds. Quickly rinsing the shampoo, conditioner, and soap of my body, I hopped out and wrapped a towel around my bare self. I wiped off the steam that had clouded over the mirror. It only took me about 5 minutes to dry off and slip on my PJs. I brushed out my hair and put it up. I walked out and noticed a box of pizza on the coffee table. After we ate it was around 10:30 so we decided to go to sleep. THe last thing on my mind was Morgan calling me gorgeous before I drifted into darkness, a smile on my face.
