"We need someone new for the field team. Someone tech savvy, who can help out Garcia by knowing what she needs to do back here, but with the training to be out helping find unsubs. I've got the head looking for someone, but I just wanted you all to know we're gonna have a new member." Hotch looked at the crew gathered around the table. It would be strange, adding a person to the tight knit team.

"I think I might know someone, actually" Reid piped up. Hotch looked at him in surprise. Spencer Reid was the last member he thought would have any sort of connection.

"Who?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Someone I went to school with. She works with a police department out in California, but she's been looking for a new job. I spoke to her for the first time in months just the other day. She wanted to use me as a reference for her resume, since we were close back at the university and I hold a similar position to the kind she's looking for."

"Can you call her, and have her fax in her resume?"

"Sure." Reid flipped his phone open, scrolled through his contacts and hit dial "Hey, Macy?...Yeah, it's Spencer… I was wondering if you could fax your resume to my unit leader…. Yeah, I can text you the fax number…. Okay, I'll let you know it goes through…. Sure. I'll talk to you later." He shut it and turned to Hotch "She's faxing it over once I send her the number."

A few minutes later, several sheets of paper came spitting from the fax machine. Hotch picked them up and skimmed them, including Reid's letter.

"You think highly of this…Macy James."

"She has a brilliant mind."

"She's extremely well qualified. I say we fly her out, try her with the team for a week, and if she works, and wants the position, she stays. Sound good to everyone?" The team members nodded in agreement. "You'll let her know, Reid?"

"Of course. Should I tell her to book a hotel and a flight?"

"No. The department will put up the money. In fact…" he clicked a few buttons on the screen "Tell her her flight leaves tomorrow morning at six thirty, from Oakland International, via Jet Blue. I've had the confirmation sent to the email on her resume."

"Alright. Oh, if you book her a room? Find a pet friendly hotel. She travels with a cat, it's her anxiety pet." Hotch raised his eyebrow yet again, but nodded.

"Meeting adjourned, everyone. Go home. Sleep. I don't care." Hotch waved everyone out the door but JJ walked towards him.

"Wouldn't have expected that from Reid of all people, eh?" she asked.

"Yeah. But she seems like just what we need."
