“What’s going on baby girl?” Agent Morgan says casually. I’m guessing Garcia and Morgan have a thing going on.  “Okay guys,” She pauses and hits a button on her remote causing the PowerPoint to change slides. On the screen are 10 dead women, all have their throat slashed and burned down to the core. “Wow…” I murmur. “You’re gonna have to get used to it.” Reid laughs a little. Suddenly the door opens, since I was looking at those pictures it made me jumpand Prentiss noticed. Prentiss snickers. I recognize him from his books, I have every single one and probably could recite them. It’s Agent Rossi. “Sorry I’m late. I assume you’re Agent Torpey. Nice to meet you. Now this case?” He sits down by Hotch.
“All of the victim’s throats were slashed and all of their bodies were burned to a chrisp.”
Although I noticed something around the arm on each of them.

“Hey you guys, look at what’s written on their arms, each victim has something different written on their arm. Like the first it says ‘liar’ and the second says ‘thief’.”  I pointed out
They all look at me amazed.

“I didn’t even notice that at first.” Says Hotch.

“Well, I speak Spanish and it just stood out.” I say.

“When did you learn Spanish?” Agent Rossi asks.

“In College, I studied abroad.”

Reid looks impressed. “That will definitely come in handy.” Morgan laughs.  “So, off to Mexico?” Garcia says. Hotch stands up and says “Let’s go, the plane is waiting for us.”

            “Wow, you guys-”

“You mean we, you’re one of us now.” Says Reid.

“I mean, we have a nice plane.” I smile.

I take a seat by Prentiss and across from Morgan and Reid. “So are you ready for your first case?” Asks Morgan, raising an eyebrow. “Yep, have been for a while. I went to college a while back but never found any jobs that were hiring.” I say.
They smile at me.
“Are you still wondering why I chose this job?” I ask them all, but Prentiss in particular.
“Kind of, if you don’t mind.” They all say.

“Well, when I was little someone broke into my house and killed both of my parents. Both stabbed in the heart. I was forced to go live with my Aunt, my closest relative. I mean, we don’t hate each other but we’re not close. I moved out as soon as I could and went to college, I’m only 25. I’ve been interested in criminal profiling and law enforcement ever since.” After that I got quiet.


“I’m sorry I asked.” Prentiss finally says. I smile, “its fine, it doesn’t really bother me anymore.” The plane makes a sound and starts to land. We gather our things and start heading out. When we step off the plane we’re escorted to the police station. The police chief comes out and says a word to Hotch.

“Hola, yo soy el jefe de la policia, y les doy la bienvenida. Agente Hotch me hablo de tu. Sala de ustedes esta en la primera a la derecha de su ya establecido.”

(It translates roughly to "Hello, I am the chief of police, and I welcome you. Agent Hotch told me about you. Your room is on the first right it's already ready")
