Agent Nicks; Spencer Reid

1

I stood in SSA Hotchner's office waiting. I messed with my thumb nails while waiting. The door opened and I stood up and looked towards it.

"Ms. Nicks, I've looked over everything and you're set to begin here tomorrow. Here are your creditentials and your gun. Don't be late and bring a bag full of things you may need to travel," Agent Hotchner told me.

"Thank you so much, you won't be disappointed, Agent Hotchner," I said, shaking his hand.

"You can call me Hotch."

"Thank you."

I nodded and left. As I walked out of the office I ran into a woman with platinum blonde hair.

"Sorry, wait you're the new girl right?"

"Uhm, Yes, Agent Nicks."

"I'm Penelope welcome to the team. If you need anything here is my number it'll send you straight to me."

"Thank you, but I don't start until tomorrow."

"That might change, we just got a case."

My phone buzzed and I answered it.

"I know you just left, but we just got a case, you can settle in or you can join us we're briefing in 5."

Then the line went dead.

"Guess I'm joining you guys now."

"Great come on girlie."

I smiled and followed Penelope into a boardroom with 3 people sitting around the table in the center

"Agent Morgan, Agent Prentiss this is Agent Nicks."

"Agent Nicks? I thought it'd be a guy not another beautiful woman joining the team," a buff guy said swiveling in his chair.

"Morgan you're clueless, Hi, I'm Emily Prentiss, welcome to the team."

"I see you've met my sugar baby Garcia," Morgan said.

I looked confused for a second.

"He means me Penelope Garcia, but you met me already."

I sat down sat my notebook down in front of me. A blonde women came in with files.

"Ok, you guys ready to start?"

"J.J. this is Agent Nicks."

"Carrie Nicks?"

"Jennifer Jareau? How did I not know you worked here?"

"Likewise, um wow I haven't seen you since... You've changed so much!"

"I tried."

"Sorry I'm late."

A tall guy with somewhat long hair came into the room. He had a cup of coffee and something gold in his hand. He quickly put away the object and looked at me.

"Who's that?"

"Agent Nicks this is Dr. Spencer Reid, Reid this is Agent Nicks."

"Morgan said it was a guy."

"Sorry but I'm not a guy."

"I wasn't implying that you were a guy, Nicks is commonly known as a guy's name and I guess Morgan came to the conclusion that you were a guy when we heard there was a new agent. Actually about 7-"

"Reid, not now," Hotch said, cutting off whatever he was going to say.

"Sorry."

He sipped his coffee and I watched as J.J. explained the case.

"4 victims, brunette women in their 20's, all drowned in their bathtubs after coming home," J.J. says.

"So unsub waits in the house until they get home, kills the victim by drowning them in their bathtub, then leaves a note saying sorry," Prentiss concluded.

"Every note says 'They needed to be cleansed. I'm sorry'," Spencer said.

"Sounds like a classic sadistic serial killer," Morgan says.

"Look at the note for a second. The sentences were written in two totally different handwritings. One's boldly written in the middle and the other shyly written in the corner as if he didn't want it to be seen by anyone."

"So we're looking at two unsubs?" Morgan asked.

"Most likely."

"Then why isn't there another pair of footprints? In this scene it was raining and muddy hence the footprints, but where's the other set," I added.

Everyone looked at me. This was the first time I spoke.

"She's right. There's no way there was two unsubs, it would've been more noticeable. So this person has a personality disorder."

"Wheels up in 20."

Everyone left the room, I grabbed my stuff and let Hotch know I was going home to get my travel bag.

"Ok, take Garcia or Prentiss with you and they'll help you."

"Ok, thank you."

I walked away and found Penelope.

"Hey will you come help me find out what to pack?"

"Sure, let's go."

Penelope and I went into my house.

"Welcome to my humble abode."

"This is so cute!"

My apartment was kind of open except for the rooms. The living room to my right and a wall separating the kitchen to my left. The wall turned into a half wall down the line to make a bar.

"Kitty!"

"His name is Pooki (pooh-key)"

"What's up with the two rooms?"

"My sister lives with me. She's not here obviously."

I went to my room and Penelope followed. I pulled out some clothes.

"Woa, woa, woa, lemme see that wardrobe."

Penelope looked through my clothes.

"Oh my gosh! This would look so cute on you."

She picked up the pink dress I owned. It was a knee length, pale pink dress that sinched at the waist.

"Should I bring it?"

"If we go out for drinks when you get back you should wear this and we can get you a boyfriend."

"Woa there Penelope, I'm single and always ready to mingle, but this job doesn't really allow relationships."

"Ok, maybe a hookup then."

"I don't wanna seem like that though."

"Then you can help me get laid," she said smiling.

She threw it in there along with the work clothes I picked out then I threw in a bottle of Strawberry shampoo, conditioner, and mint strawberry body wash.

"Woa, that's a lot of strawberries."

"Strawberry smells the best."

I packed everything else and we left.

I sat in a jet holding my notebook. This was going to be so much fun, I had a small fear of flying. When Hotch said wheels up I didn't think he literally meant wheels up in the air. I didn't know this was how we got place to place. I grasped the edge of my notebook tightly as the jet shook slightly. I opened my notebook and began frantically writing.

"If I die, give my apartment to Toby. Make sure Pooki gets fed daily. Make sure that my sister graduates or I'll kill her.-"

I was cut off by someone chuckling behind me. I stopped and gave a dead glare to whoever was behind me. Spencer immediately sat down in front of me still slightly chuckling.
