I walked into the BAU and saw Penelope rush over to me and placed a gift in my hands.
"I'm very tired and very confused." I told
"Why you tired baby?"
"For some reason my phone non stop has been going off for so many hours it's annoying me. Oh but that's not all Derek. Stan forgot to drop my three crates of books which two of them were Rossi's book and the other was all the antique books I could find that people have been wanting for the past 11 months. So I called him well after closing time and went where the hell are my books Stan and he went oh sorry I completely forgot. He knows I will drop kick him so far he won't be able to sit for a year on his ass."
"Baby you've got some fire to you. And a little accent."
"It happens when I'm extremely tired and mad. It'll be fine if I ain't gonna talk for awhile." I told seeing it come more through.
'Great.'
"Well maybe if you open the gift it will cheer you up." Penelope told
I put my coffee down and opened the box to see a baton with little mirrored squares stuck on it.
"You got me a disco stick!" I exclaimed before losing it in laughter.
"Baby do you want to explain to us why Penelope got you that?" Derek asked
"Oh no. What happens on a girls night stays on a girls night." Em told
I began to twirl it between my fingers which shocked them, minus J, Rossi and Hotch since they were in their offices.
"Baby I didn't know you could do that."
"Joe always twirls his sticks whenever he is holding them and not playing. I just picked up on it."
"This girl is amazing. I've seen her fight in three different ways." Penelope told making me smile.
"Who were you fighting baby?"
"Some of my customers get some self defence training. Pass on what my father taught me so less people die." I told
"She did this thing with a broom and it was awesome!"
"A broom?"
"My father thought that anything you can hold in your hands can be a weapon. The first thing he would teach us to use is a broom."
"I'm gonna have to go up against you baby the next time we get a chance."
"Oh bring it on donkey kong!"
"How do you know so many references?" Emily asked
"Well you spend your time alone from everyone since they find you weird and bully you, you tend to spend your time listening or watching things by yourself. Something I continued through my life I guess." I told
Before they could say anything my phone began to ring and I picked it up."For god sake can you not call me right now?!"
"River.... it's Dasiy."
"Yes I figured that once I heard your voice." I told as I began to make my way away from everyone.
"Are you ok? Is everything stressing you out? Do I need to come and visit?"
"I'm fine you don't need to go mother mode on me. I'm simply tired that's all."
"Late nights working?"
"That and my phone keeps being called multiple times a day now."
"Well you don't pick up...."
"I'm not 11 anymore Daisy! I'm not in some place I have never been before and I'm not alone. I don't need them checking up on me."
"And I get that. Look I just wanted to tell you that he misses you. Keeps calling to see if your doing ok."
"Yeah well I don't exactly want to talk to him. Look I have to go I'm busy."
"River...."
"Ok bye please don't call back!" I told before hanging up.I turned around to see everyone looking at me with a worried look.
"Will you guys believe wrong number?"
"Baby come on. Tell us."
"It was Daisy. She likes checking up on me and she had bad timing this time."
"I can go and look up the number and make a complaint." Penelope told.
"It's all good. I'll block it next time the call." I told to reassure her.
"Glad you are all here. We got a new case." J told as she walked past us.
"Let's get to work then." Morgan told.
'I wish they would just stop calling.'We were in the plane and I decided to work on a 3D puzzle I got to help me figure things out.
"What you working on?" Spencer asked as he leaned over from next to me.
"A 3D puzzle. It's meant to be a dolphin on a wave." I told as I began the process of trying pieces together that didn't connect till one did.
"Want help?"
"Sure. You can make the dolphin." I told as I gave home the blue bag full of pieces.
We both continued in silence till Morgan sat across from me.
"You two having fun?" He asked
"Yes. Helps me think."
"Why do you try every piece even though you know they won't fit?" Derek asked as he watched me sort through them.
"Think of it this way. Two pieces of a puzzle is like two clues, you don't know how they connect in anyway." I told as I showed they didn't connect before doing it with some other pieces before grabbing the third last one. "But by going through all the other clues you'll find the link you need and find the connection." I said as I placed the pieces together showing that they fit with one another, before smirking at him.
"Is this how your mind works?" He asked
I gave a small nod before speaking.
"A bit. When it comes to solving things I have to quickly go through everything. Think of it as like when your fast forwarding through ads on a recorded show you have taped. My mind is only like that though when working on a massive time crunch."
"Your boyfriend able to keep up with you, baby?"
"Just." I looked down and began to continue the process when I pushed some pieces towards Derek. "See how quick you do it."
"Alright baby." He told before following the same process as me.
'I love these guys.'
