Chapter Two

Trigger Warning: Kidnaping.

You grabbed your things in the chair next to you and smiled back at Hotchner and got up while doing so Hotchner got up as well and held his hand out, complying you shook his hand. "Y/n, I hope you continue your line of work with us." you nodded and headed your way towards Spencer, while doing so you tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear. The statement Hotch made, rung in Spencer's head repeatedly as you both made your way to your desk. "So erm, this is your desk; it's across from mine..." he seemed nervous, and being the profiler that you are you saw that he was curious as to what Hotch meant with his statement. "Dr. Reid just ask." he looked up from locking his eyes on his shoes curious as to what you were getting at, "erm, I'm not sure what you're talking about agent y/l/n." you weren't trying to pry, more so curious as to what he was thinking. You let it go as does Spencer, you shrugged your shoulders and just smiled at him and sighed as you sat down. Spencer made his way to his desk after nodding his head at you and clicking his tongue.

You dug into your purse taking out a few decorations for your area making it feel a bit more cozy and nice, as you were finishing Emily came up to you with curiosity in her eyes. "So y/n, not many people come prepared with decora-" before she could finish, Emily was cut off by JJ entering the bullpen "We have a case." Almost everyone on the team gets up while Derek approaches you, "how exciting, your first day and there's already action for you to get into." you shrugged and sheepishly smiled, and Derek went on his way to the meeting you were all about to have about the case.

From a distance, Spencer observed the interaction you had with Derek as you followed suit to the meeting Spencer went up to you. "Y/n, you should have more confidence in yourself, from what Hotch was saying you're good at your job." He smiled then walked off. As confused as you were by what he meant by 'what Hotch said' did he overhear your conversation with Hotch? Had Hotch spoken to your colleagues about you? You decided to push it to the back of your mind and focus on this case and continued to follow suit with the rest of the team and enter the conference room.

As you sat, Hotch spoke. "I'm sure as you all know this is Agent y/l/n. She'll be joining us in this case." You smiled to yourself but that soon ended when a bubbly blonde woman in colorful clothes popped up on the screen leading Rossi to speak. "What do you have for us today Garcia?" Garcia then looked at you. "Well, I see someone new..." trying to suppress her excitement. With that, you smiled and waved at her. Something about her made you feel safe and comfortable. She continued to speak.

"Well, today unfortunately I have a series of kidnappings for you." Everyone's grins went away, and you tensed up, pulling your hair up in a pony. In the corner of your eye, you could see Spencer analyzing you whilst everyone was profiling and analyzing the case, eventually, he gravitated at his attention on the case. You all concluded that this man was searching for attention because he was neglected as a child growing up. "Wheels up in 30," Hotch spoke. Everyone slowly left the room while you remained seated looking at the case in front of you, analyzing it over and over again. Something felt off, but you weren't sure what it was.

Seeing as you only had about ten minutes left before you all flew to where the kidnappings took place, you took the files, left the conference room while Hotch was outside waiting. You looked at him confused. "Agent Hotchner is there something wrong?" looking at you with concern, he replied. "Please call me Hotch, but are you sure you want to join us in this case? Are you ready?" you nodded and gave him a response. "Yes, I've been off the field for about four months. I passed my evaluations, I'm good to go, with that being said I just need to head to my car and grab my go bag." Hotch seemed a little surprised that you already had a go-bag ready, though at the same time he wasn't due to the fact you were dedicated and hardworking, after all, you sacrificed your previous friends for this job. He nodded, though you didn't know, Hotch saw a part of himself in you, dedication. Hotch focused a lot of his attention on his job, though he loved his wife and son very much.

Not saying another word Hotch left and you headed for the elevator. You went to your car grabbing you go-bag and headed towards where the rest were. In the jet, you took your motion sickness medication. You weren't the best when it came to flights, both Rossi and Derek notice, Rossi being more sincere and Derek more so making fun of you, but it was good-spirited. "Not a fan of flying y/n?" Rossi asked. You shook your head while you took a breath in. "Aww man, how are we gonna make you join us on rollercoasters now?" Derek said while laughing. You shot him a look one filled with annoyance yet approval at his joke.

Eventually, during the flight, you drifted off to sleep after conversing with some of your colleagues because you didn't want to deal with the motions of the jet. Halfway through the flight, you woke up, being the groggy state you were in you decided to freshen up and head to the bathroom. You did whatever you needed and exited the restroom. As you did you observed your surroundings seeing that all of your colleagues were asleep aside from Spencer. You notice that the seat across from him was available, so you sat down. Taking his attention off the book he was reading he looked up you confused. Observing him, his under eyes were dark as if he hasn't been able to sleep for weeks, his long brown hair a bit messy, and the first two buttons of his shirt unbuttoned.

"Dr. Reid why are you still awake?" you curiously asked Spencer. While analyzing you, setting down his book and thinking Spencer responded, "you know you don't have to keep addressing me as Dr. Reid, simply call me Reid." He ignored your question. Your curiosity grew even more. "That's not what I asked D- Reid." Fumbling the last, few were words taking in his previous statement. He remained silent. "It's just a question Reid and if you weren't comfortable with answering just tell me." He looked a little taken back as if he didn't hear anyone say your last statement before. He nodded his head and opened his mouth to speak but then closed it as he thunk. After a bit, he responded, "it's not that I'm uncomfortable, it's more so if I answered with, I can't sleep people ask why." You, yourself have been in his shoes, understanding. If it weren't for your motion sickness medication, you wouldn't be able to sleep yourself. Not wanting to pry anymore than what you have you remained silent and pulled out the case files.

Author's Note! Hey guys, I hope all is well! I know in the first chapter I said I was going to update this the day after, but I never did, due to the fact that when I got home from work I fell asleep and didn't wake up till the next day. Although, throughout work I wrote this chapter. I hope you enjoy it, yes I know it's anti-climatic, but I promise you soon it'll be far more interesting. Like I've said previously, if there's any gramtical errors please let me know because I'm the best at writing, or even if you have suggestions for what should happen. I hope you all have a great and wonderful day <3
