A/N: I don't own Criminal Minds.
Finding Love Across the Pond
Chapter 1
Natalie Anne Poynter was born and raised in London, England and this is her first time in America. She was about to get a job for the FBI in the Behavioral Analysis Unit to be more accurate. She was fairly nervous since she was about to be shellshocked in a different culture than what she was accustomed to. She was supposedly meeting with Unit Chief Aaron Hotchner and meet the team. The team members she would be working with would be David Rossi, Derek Morgan, Dr. Spencer Reid, Ashley Seaver, Jennifer Jareau and Penelope Garcia.
NPOV:
Today is my first day and I want it to be perfect and nothing to go wrong. I drove my new car from my apartment five blocks from here. When I got out I noticed a gentleman walk out of the car park with his messenger bag over his shoulder. Then I fell over when I missteped on the curb. He saw and came to help me.
"Thanks sir. I can't believe I just made a fool of myself on my first day." I told him with a frown as he helped me up.
"You should have seen me on my first day." He told me with a smirk.
"The name is Natalie Poynter and you are?" I asked him as I gave my hand for a shake.
"Dr. Spencer Reid. It seems that we will be working together." He takes my hand and I gave it a shake.
"Pleasure is all mine Dr. Reid." I told him with a smile.
Get ahold of yourself Natalie no time for being a flirt.
We walked to the bullpen and he put things on my newly assigned desk. My desk was right by his.
I noticed two people walking in from a room a woman wearing a very colourful frock and an African American gentleman walking and talking.
Spencer introduced me to his colleagues.
"Derek Morgan this is Natalie Poynter."
"It's nice to meet you Agent Poynter."
"It's nice to meet you too Agent Morgan." I shook his head.
"Hi my name is Penelope Garcia and I am the Technical Analyst for the team." I was about to shake her hand when she pulled me into a hug. A very tight hug.
"Agent Morgan…Dr. Reid can I have some help she is hugging me fairly tightly." I told them and they gave me a knowing smile.
"Baby girl, how about give her some room to breathe." Morgan told her.
"Sorry, I'm very touchy feely when it comes to new colleagues." Garcia apologized.
"You don't have to apologize I have a sister-in-law that does the exact same thing." I told her.
I noticed a blonde young woman walk up. "Ashley Seaver."
"Natalie Poynter." I shook his hand.
I heard three doors opening and they went down into the bullpen.
"Agents meet us in the round table room." I heard Agent Hotchner tell us.
I followed Reid and sat down next to him on the table.
"Well to start we'd like to welcome Agent Natalie Poynter from London, England who transfers from Scotland Yard to help Dr. Reid with the geographical profiling." He told the group.
"Thanks Agent Hotchner." I tell him with a nod.
Spencer turned in his chair and looked at me and I felt butterflies in my stomach.
He is rather handsome and very shagable. Natalie focus.
"Welcome to the team Jennifer Jareau and this is David Rossi."
"Nice to meet you Agents Jareau and Rossi."
"Madison, Wisconsin is in trouble." Agent Jareau started as she pointed her remote at the monitor.
My eyes caught the sight of young children being murdered. I could tell already this was going to be a tough case.
"Children are being smothered and then their parents are both shot in the head. The unsub left no prints at either scene. The jet is already for us."
"Thanks JJ wheels up in 30 minutes."
I guess I learn how this team works fast. At least I'm going to be working with Dr. Reid.
"Agent Poynter we can start the geographical profile on the flight." Reid said as he smiled.
"Sounds like a plan. Let's get started." I told him as we got our go bags on our desks.
On the jet I sat by Spencer and we started to look at the map of Madison, Wisconsin. It was a big area with several different districts.
"Ok let's get started." Hotch said.
"Well Reid and I are looking at the map and we have noticed that the area is full of different financial areas. And since most of the victims are part of the lower class community my guess the offender is very sophistocated to leave no prints or anything at the scene." I told Hotch and everyone nodded at my theory.
"The question is how does he trick the parents to leave him alone with the child?" Morgan asked.
"Do we have any preference of what the unsub could be?" Ashley asked.
"No, they are stumped and that is why they came for us to help." JJ answered her.
I heard a clicking sound and Penelope Garcia showed up on the monitors on the jet.
"Greetings my furry friends. I checked the areas of the murders and got no crime record on anyone involved in the crimes."
"Baby girl, we'll keep you in the know."
"Thanks my chocolate Adonis."
The monitors turned off and I turned to look at Reid.
"Do they always talk like that?" I asked him in a whisper.
"Yes." He nodded.
"Poynter when we land we need you and Reid to visit the Medical Examiner and look at his report." Hotch tells me.
"Yes sir." I answer.
This was going to be an interesting case to say the least.
