"Thank you." Hotch said hanging up the phone. He had just been informed that Gideon was up to head the second BAU team an Erin Strauss was calling another board meeting an he had to make sure Phoenix Storm was not around for it. "JJ do we have a case that just needs a pair of eyes?" He asked when she dropped off a file.
"Um yeah i think i can find one why?"
"I need Storm out of DC now."
"Can i ask why?"
"Gideon."
"Enough said I'll get a file on her desk an the plane ready." JJ said leaving.
"What's with Gideon?" Rossi asked walking in.
"He's got a board meeting-"
"An it would be better if she wasn't there for it. Strauss an Storm are going to be piss."
"Yeah well if i thought she would be fair I'd let her stay but she won't." Hotch sighted. "We all make mistakes Rossi only she hates to let them go."
"Storm?" JJ questioned knocking on her door.
"It's open." She called back.
"Hotch needs you to go to New York an speak at a collage." JJ told her handing her the info.
"Alright." she said taking it.
"The plane waiting for you."
"I'll drive." She said getting her jacket.
"Alright call when you made it." JJ smiled as she left.
"Well?" Hotch asked her.
"I have her speaking at a collage."
"Your wonderful." Hotch smiled going to inform the rest of his team of the news.
"She's going to kill you." Ried sighted.
"I will not lie if she asked I'm telling her i just found out." Morgan added.
"Come on guys he deserves a far shot can you say she would have given it?" Prentiss asked.
"She gave us one." Garcia pointed out. "Besides i have one question."
"An that would be?" Hotch asked.
"What makes you think she doesn't know wouldn't Strauss have told her?"
"I was informed first then Strauss was informed she was out on a case an could not be reached." Hotch smiled.
"Dude you think that worked." Morgan asked thinking the same line Garcia was.
"We are so dead." JJ sighted.
"What?" Hotch asked.
"She drove Hotch she didn't question why just said she was going she just grabbed her coat an left."
Rossi tired to hide the laughter. "She profiled her she knew the moment you went into her office something was up."
"But she's not here." Prentiss pointed out.
"She trusts she was sent for a good reason." Ried told them.
In truth Storm did know something was up but she felt if they wanted her to know she would so she just did was she was told. In the mean while Strauss was trying
to track her down, for some reason she couldn't get her on the phone.
Phoenix smiled as she stud in front of the students. "I'm Agent Phoenix Stone with the FBI i work in the department the BAU."
"Your thee Phoenix Storm the one who worked cases like those kids from Jump street?" Someone asked.
"Yes I'm her."
Erin Strauss tossed her cell across the room. The meeting was starting an Storm was no were. "Agent Hotchner is there no way to contact her?"
"None she drove out there so I'm not sure where she is at this point, she was told to call when she arrived there." He told her heading in.
Phoenix sat on the desk as the students came up to talk to her when she was done.
"Is it harder for you being a women?"
"Not for me no it's harder because i've done so much at such a young age people tend to think I'm stuck up so it makes it hard to work with others. In fact i work
with three other women who are all very good at what they do." She smiled.
"You work with Dave Rossi to is he a cute in person as he is on his books?"
"Well i haven't really looked at him that way." Phoenix replied as a bell rang. "You guys better run along." she said grabbing her bag an heading out as well.
As she got to her car her phone rang. "Storm."
"Were the hell are you!"
"Strauss I'm sure you are not aware of just who you just called so I'll repeat Storm."
"Storm Gideon is in with the board to get reinstated he's been in there with your team for the last hour!"
"SONOFABITCH! I'm on my way stall them damn it!" She yelled trowing her phone in the car an getting in speeding back to the BAU.
Erin Strauss smiled as she hung up the phone an walked back into the room. "Excuse me i just got a call From Special Agent Storm it seem she was unaware of this
meeting but she is on her way back now." She smiled looking to Hotch. "I ask we take lunch an wait for her."
"I think we've heard enough Strauss." One women told her.
"Yes but Agent Storm too has worked with Jason Gideon i think it only fare that she speaks as well."
"Strauss i have the intention to allow Jason Gideon to take the lead on the second team i doubt she could change are minds on that." A man said.
"Still-"
"Strauss has a point we should at least hear from her. Send her to us the rest of you can get back to work Jason i have faith that are minds will not be changed you
may go meet your new team."
"Thank you." Gideon smiled walking out with Hotch an his team they all froze as a very clearly pissed off Phoenix Storm marched up to them. "I will be having words with you two." She hissed pointing to Hotch an JJ.
"Storm they wish to see you." Strauss smiled.
"Good i have a lot to say." She said following Strauss in.
"Go on." Rossi said heading back in with Gideon.
"Agent Storm so glad you could make it."
"You've reinstated him already have you not?" She asked standing before them.
"We think he has done a good job-"
"A good job oh yeah if you look pass the fact that he got six agents killed, if you over look the fact that his wounded pride almost killed Former Agent Greenway."
"Agent Gideon had nothing-"
"The unsub said not to talk to the press an because his little home was invaded he broke the rules it was written on her damn wall he allowed his anger to over ride
his better judgement he walked away from his team an the FBI!"
"He lost a friend Agent Storm."
"An Agent Hotchner lost the mother of his child yet he's still here!"
"Is is not your anger that has you here?" Rossi asked her an she turned on him.
"Oh of course you'd stick up for your dear friend." She hiss turning back around. "Nothing i say matter because nothing i've done can hold a candle to the great
Jason Gideon an the all mighty Dave Rossi they both bring more glory to the FBI then my little records of busts an take down!" She hissed storming from the room.
"I'm taking the day off i feel ill all of a sudden." She told Strauss walking past her.
"I warned you Storm this would not have happen if you took Hotchners Job."
