CHAPTER 1
As the elevator doors slid open, Allison Campbell took a deep, nerve settling breath. She then took her first step onto the top floor of the FBI building and headed towards the glass double doors. Once in the bullpen, she stopped and took in her surroundings.
"This is it," she thought. After all of her hard work she had finally made it to the prestigious BAU as the team's new liaison with the media, families, and local police agencies. "It'll be easy," she told herself, "Just do your job and don't get personal. They never have to know. She wouldn't want to know. Her life is better without knowing…Too much drama."
Just then, an older man with a stern looking face approached her.
"I'm Aaron Hotchner. I assume you're Allison."
"Yes sir, but please," she said with a genuine smile, "call me Alli."
"Very well. The team calls me Hotch. It's nice to meet you," he said as they shook hands.
"Same here."
"If you'll come with me, I'll introduce you to the team."
As she ascended the stairs behind Hotch, her heartbeat quickened in anticipation of finally seeing her while she was trying to convince herself to calm down. With one last plea with herself to relax, she followed Hotch into the room with the round table and found the other six members of the team looking right at her.
As Hotch introduced her to each member from his left to his right, Alli's heart started racing once again...
"Alli, this is Rossi…"
Just breath, she told herself.
"Reid…"
You're freaking out for nothing!
"JJ…"
She has NO idea!
"Blake…"
Calm down!
"Morgan…"
Here it comes…
"and our technical analyst, Garcia."
This was such a bad idea…
