It was cold out when Kim walked into the BAU to speak to Hotch, she was young only 22 and she was picked out of the college class to help by Gideon. Her mind sharp as Dr Reids she was about to receive her PhD's in psychology and history. With her on the team no criminal would get away for long.
Hotch stood and watched the girl come in, he noted that she looked shy and scared. Gideon had told him that she was confident and smart his first impression of her was one that this was a mistake she was young to young to get into this. This job was likely to give her nightmares as some of the team had from time to time.
Kim was 5'8 had dark brown curly hair that went to the bottom of her shoulder blades, she had brown eyes and a pretty face. She was tiny the smart dress she wore was on the top of her knees. "hi I'm Kim." she said to Hotch.
"Why are you here and what do you know that this job you have come for is? This is no place for some one who is week of stomach nor one who is shy and uncomfortable." where the harsh words of Hotch this took her back a bit and confused.
"With all due respect I was asked here by Gideon to help and become a member of a team to put criminals behind bars so as not to harm anyone else. As for a week stomach I have a stronger stomach than what you think I do. Yes it may take a little bit to become stronger but I am confident that I can do this job. As for shy and nervous as you liked to put scared I am when meeting new people I don't know and when I am on my own."
"good to hear, we will be starting early tomorrow be here by 5 am we will be flying out for a case we will see what you are capable of then." Hotch told her he knew that she would be good at this if she could talk to him like that when he first meet her she just needs a nudge he decided and the others would be protective of her he knew that she would be safe.
"Ok, I'll see you tomorrow morning then." Kim went to go but was stopped by Morgan. He smiled at her and introduced himself "hi I'm Kim" she replied holding out her hand for him to take.
Morgan looked up to Hotch as she went to get her self sorted to fly to LA where there was a killer who liked to torturer, drug and kill women. "She seems nice why was she here?" Morgan asked.
"She's our new co-worker she'll be coming with us we leave at 5 am give her time to get her things, and give her time to get her mind round what we are about to do. She will be teamed up with someone all the time she still needs to be trained with a firearm. She will be with either yourself Dr Reid or myself."
"Are you sure that is a good idea Hotch? She is new to this completely then we all received training before starting on any case." Morgan was surprised they could handle this case with out her.
"I'm sure she may not be trained yet but I think we will be in need of her intellect. She and Reid will make a brilliant pair on this case. Besides I think Gideon was wrong about her I want to see how she does it may even make her rethink about this." Hotch said from behind his desk "Will you inform the others of a departure to LA."
