Chapter one
The things we do for love and citizenship
'This should be fun' was her first thought as she knocked on her future supervisors door, it was obvious in his voice as he said come in that he didn't know. Yet.
"hello" he was surprised by her, she didn't blame him, for the shocked look on his face or the question following "are you lost?"
"no, well you are Aaron hotchner right?" and the mention of his name seemed to spark his curiosity, if not his sense of puzzle. The man would not be happy about the news, not anymore than she was." I'm Iris, the new agent."
Ah and there was that click, the files sliding into place. They had notified him obviously, she wished she'd been there for that conversation. She imagined it must have been the more controlled version of her own hell no. still she was here, all 111 pounds of her, waiting for him to speak. She wondered why she had to do this, oh yeah if she didn't they'd revoke her mother's dual citizenship that's right.
She saw him look her up and down, she mentally followed his line of sight, flawlessly seeing in her mind what he would be seeing
Her dark, dark black hair curling slightly from the moisture outside.
Her flawless Egyptian features, overlaid with tanned skinned, still darker than normal from her last visit home to Cairo.
Her startling hazel eyes, more scotch colored than normal in this odd lighting.
Her skinny but still slightly curvaceous body.
He noticed that she was attractive and that was okay because she knew that the next second he would be grilling her about herself. She had seen some of his other team members, he would know all to well the laws and natures of attraction. It wouldn't be an issue.
And sure enough the next second he said, "so, you're a bit younger than I expected, they said in your file that you are 17?"
"yes sir, or at least I will be in a few months." he was watching her facial expressions so she made no attempt to hide most of them, only a few reactions did she hold to herself.
"so let me get this straight, your 16 and they want you to join my team in one of the most advanced field in the bureau. Why?"
"sir, have you read my paperwork, my files?"
"Not all of it, they've only sent your basic information so far" 'ah' she thought with a small understanding smile, 'that explained it'
"sir, I'm telling you this because I feel you have a right to know, but I would appreciate if the other members of this team didn't here about this until I tell them."
"I understand" he nodded, sitting back in his chair and waiting for her to continue, his expression hard.
" my name is Iris Ankh, and I have been a ward of the united states of America for 4 years. Don't misunderstand" she added quickly, seeing the look of sympathy on his face. "my father may be dead but my mother is very much alive, alive with dual citizenship, one that was automatically passed to me full blown as I was born in America. So while my status is secure, her's is not."
"the reason why the government put me on this team." she said, changing her subjects seamlessly "is because i am more than qualified, I have 10 PhD's and a bachelor's degree. I am also trained in many other more.. Questionable arts." she added with a self concise smile.
"for four years the government has taken advantage of my talents to help their various projects. I've had no choice because until I turn 18, I am in their hands and bound by their extortion to protect my mother from getting deported and losing a good chunks of her businesses." she inserted a rather hostile smile, "as you can see I stayed and here I am, until they transfer me or I turn eighteen."
Hotch just nodded, this was going to b very interesting.
