1 month. It's been one whole month since I accidentally accepted the call on Rivers phone and I haven't been able to process the whole thing still. Thankfully she has been too busy getting ready for the Christmas rush for her store to realise that I was hiding something from her. She pulled me out of my thoughts when she came walking back into her lounge on the phone.
"No Stan. I need them in by the end of the week. What do you mean you can't do that?! You already have my books, why can't you just bring them by the end of the week?! Don't use the confused tone with me. Because we both know it only works on Kyle. Just please try. I don't want another day where I ran out of the books people needed because I was still waiting on boxes. I'll talk to you later. See ya Stan."
She hung her phone up and let out a sigh making me know she seemed upset.
"Is everything ok?"
"Just business always becomes difficult during certain seasons. Nothing I haven't handled."
"Well hey, if you are able to graduate at the age of 10. Then you are able to do anything.... except you shouldn't kill anyone because that's illegal." I told making her chuckle.
"You are the sweetest." She told as she came and gave a kiss on my cheek.
'I still can't figure the whole mental institution out.'

(River. P.o.v)

We walked into work but I was still trying to figure the book situation out.
"River you should take a break from that." Spencer told me as we walked into our office.
"The last time I ran out of books that people wanted cause they were still coming was 2003. I had to have a giant back log of people putting deposits on said books. I would rather not have to deal with that again." I told.
"Baby you looking stress." Derek told
"That's because I am. One of the worst things about coming into November. I need to start preparing for the December rush."
"Your birthday is also in two weeks." J told
"Thanks for snitching on me J."
"It's your birthday soon? What day?" Penelope asked
"I'm not saying. Do not tell them J."
"19th." She told
"Bro. Really?"
"They asked."
"I'm too stressed on my books to deal with you guys not doing anything for it. Just don't." I told as Hotch and Rossi came towards us.
"You looking stress il mio piccolo genio."
"Cause I am. Stans company won't send me the crates they already have of mine to me by the end of the week and I'm trying to get them to. I hate Christmas season." I told before my phone began to ring again.
I looked at it to see it wasn't a number I recognised making me pick it up.
"Hello. Dr. River Finley here, how may I help you?"
"Hey, it's Sweets. Your a dr?"
"Yeah I have a PhD in Psychology, mathematics, humanities and sociology."
"Damn. And your only 26?"
"27 in two weeks but yeah pretty much."
"How?"
"My birthday is coming up and well...."
"No no. I mean how do you have 4 phds?"
"I also have a BA in philosophy, chemistry, engineering, biology and music."
"Jesus!"
"Yeah. I started Uni at the age of ten."
"Are you like a super genius?"
"I have an eidetic memory and an IQ of 189."
"So that's a yes?"
"Yes. I am classified as a genius."
"Well anyway. I thought someone should let you know that your cousin was shot."
"He was shot?"
"Yes."
"Alright."
"Your not worried?"
"Oh no. I'm going to kill him. What hospital?"
"Medstar."
"Alright. Thank you."
I hung the phone up and turned to my coworkers.
"My cousin was shot and I am now going to visit him. And then kill him. See you guys in like a week. Maybe sooner." I told before walking out.
'I'm going to kill him!'
"River wait!" Spencer called making me stop in front of the elevator.
"Yes?"
"Are you sure you don't want us to come with Kitten?" Penelope asked
"I'll be fine. He however won't be." I told as the door opened and I walked in.
I gave my team a little salute before going to buy a ticket.
'This isn't what I need before Christmas.'
