Life Outside the BAU

Chapter 1

The team had just finished a case. It was about 3 am and now everyone could get some must needed rest. Spencer was the first to walk out of the meeting room followed by, Aaron Hotchner, Derek Morgan, Jennifer Jereau aka JJ, Penelope Garcia, David Rossi, and Kate Callahn, the newest member of the team. "Good work on today's case guys" Hotch said. "I'm just glad we caught that son of a bitch" Morgan replied. The whole team was exhausted and went home. They all packed into the tight elevator down to the parking lot. "Goodnight guys" Spencer said tiredly. "Night Spenc" JJ replied cheerfully. Spencer walked to his car and got in. He pulled out of the driveway and drove down the dark empty road. It was only him and the street lights. He pulled up to his apartment and walked in the front door. Spencer sat down on the couch and grabbed a book. He started flipping through the pages like an excited child on Christmas, but he quickly felt drowsy and before he knew it he was asleep. He had dreams about the case. All the people he saved, and all the ones he couldn't. His job was slowly eating away at his kind heart-ed personality, but he was going to do it until he couldn't anymore which wasn't going to happen anytime soon. Spencer's alarm clock went off at 7 am. There was no way he was getting up this early. He had forgotten to turn it off the night before. The whole team has a two week vacation. It had been so long since he had had a vacation. He pulled himself up off the couch and got into his warm bed. He was asleep before his head even hit the pillow. When he woke up for the second time it was 11 am. Spencer got out of bed and made himself a bowl of cereal. He took his breakfast over to the couch and picked up the book he was reading last night and continued. It took him about 20 minutes to finish the whole book around 5 seconds per page. He wondered what he was going to do for the rest of day. He quickly got into some cleaner clothes, grabbed a new book,  and got in his car. It was such a beautiful day out. The sun was shining bright and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Birds were flying through the air and kids were running up and down the sides of the street. Spencer quickly checked his phone, no calls, no texts, it truley was a perfect vacation. When he got to the park he noticed how green the grass really was. He never really had the chance to notice or pay attention since he is always working. He found the closest park bench and sat down book in hand. While Spencer looked around the park he noticed there were a few chess tabled with people competing each other. Spencer remembers him as a young kid playing against adults and winning. He snapped out of his daze and pulled out his book. He quickly read through every word when a woman approached him. "Can you really read that fast?" she asked. "Actually the human brain can process 20,000 words per minute" Spencer replied confidently. The woman just sat there with a puzzled look on her face. "Sorry, I'm Spencer" he shook her hand politely "I'm Victoria" she said with a beautiful smile. She was gorgeous, she has long curly brown hair and hazel eyes. She had a large wide smile and dimples when she did. The scent of perfume was just the right amount and didn't want to make him gag. He caught himself staring and looked away embarrassed. Victoria just blushed and gave a slight,adorable giggle. He looked back into her eyes. "Maybe we could, like possible hang out one time." Spencer asked awkwardly. "Yeah i would love that." She said with her wide smile that spread from cheek to cheek. She grabbed a pen and paper from her purse and started scribbling on it. "Here's my number" Said Victoria. Spencer took the page. All he could do was stare at the piece of paper like an idiot. Victoria smiled at him and got up from the park. She walked in the same direction as she came.  "Did that actually just happen?" Spencer asked himself. "Good day to go to the park" He got up from the bench and walked back to his car.
