Hey everyone this is my first Criminal Minds story! I hope you all like it! Read and Review! Thanks!

Full: The team lost Emily Prentiss but they need to start over. They welcome a new team mate to the group. Some more willing then others. They go through there cases getting to know the new girl more and more each day. Our very own Spencer Reid seems to connect the most with the young girl though. Will love bloom?

Penelope Garcia was standing facing the wall of photos, the photos of those deceased. She stood directly in font of one photo in particular, Emily Prentiss. Garcia stared down at the photo with sadness in here eyes. It was only a few days ago when she lost one of her best friends; everyone was struggling with her death. Morgan saw Garcia standing there and he walked up behind her.

"Hey there baby girl." He said in a serious tone. "How you doing?"

She looked up at him for a moment then returned to looking at the picture, "I just…I can't believe she's really gone."

"I know," Morgan said also looking down at the picture. "None of us can."

"She left my trapped within a sea of testosterone…" Garcia said with a totally serious tone.

"I know it's hard to accept but Seaver is part of our team now. Your going to have to accept her, don't think of her as a replacement." Morgan said to Garcia.

"I know that. I made her cupcakes. That's right I baked. Do you understand how stressed that means I am?"

Morgan chuckled and led her into the main offices. "Hey, I'm sure she will love them."

They gathered around Seaver's desk joined by Spencer Reid, and David Rossi. They all yelled, "congratulations!"

Ashley Seaver laughed, "Thanks everyone, I'm happy to be here."

"Where's Hotch?" Reid asked looking around.

Rossi mentioned to his office, "He's working on something, God only knows what. He should be down soon."

Suddenly a woman entered the office. She was young looking, wore a blue shirt tucked into a black pencil skirt. Her long brown reddish hair cascaded down her back and bounced as she walked. She suddenly stopped, adjusting her brown message bag, looking around the office.

"Poor thing looks confused." Garcia said as she walked over too the young girl.

Morgan smirked, "Well hot damn, who is that fine young thing. Reid do you see what I see?"

Reid looked at him strangely, "If you mean a female. Then yes, I see her."

Morgan shook his head, "Your hopeless."

The group watched Garcia talk too the girl for a moment then point to Hotch's office. The girl nodded smiled and started towards the office.

Garcia hurried back, "She was looking for Hotch!"

Rossi rose his eyebrow, "Hm that's strange. She looks so young."

Seaver chuckled a bit, "You all gossip like a group of girls."

The whole group watched the girl enter Hotch's office. Hotch rose from his seat and shook her hand. She reached into her bag and pulled out a blue folder, which she then handed to Hotch. He nodded and set it on his desk. They talked for a moment then he pointed to the door and the two of them exited and started walking towards them. They stopped a little short by Emily's old desk that was already clean off. They stopped there for a moment and Hotch mentioned to the desk and the girl nodded.

Morgan made a face, "What the hell is going on?"

The two then made there way too the group and they all straightened up. Hotch mentioned to them all, "Team this is Reylynn Salazar. Reylynn this is Spencer Reid, David Rossi, Ashley Seaver, Derek Morgan, and Penelope Garcia."

Reylynn smiled a big white grin, "Hello everyone! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

The team exchanged their hellos then looked to Hotch for an explanation. Hotch cleared his throat, "Please welcome Reylynn with open arms. She starts as today as a new member of our team."

No one moved, or even breathed it seemed. Reylynn stood there awkwardly for a moment before speaking, "Um… I will enjoy working with you all."

Reid, for once, was the first to respond. Almost a bit to quickly. "You as well!" He jumped at the suddenness of his own voice. Morgan gave him a look while Reylynn giggled for a moment.

"Sorry sweetie. I don't mean to be rude, but how old are you?" Garcia finally asked.

Rossi nodded, "You look like your 15…"

Reylynn gasped a bit, "Oh no, I'm defiantly not 15."

Seaver rose her eyebrow, "Yeah? Then how old are you?"

Reylynn stood awkwardly for a moment feeling like they were judging her a bit, "I'm… 20."

"Holy shit. That's younger then Reid!" Morgan exclaimed.

Reid, the 27yr old, stood there a but awkwardly and felt bad for the young girl knowing how awful it is to be the youngest.

Seaver leaned forward a bit, "Wait so are you some kind of genius…?"

Before Reylynn could answer Hotch intervened. "Reylynn is very skilled in profiling, field work, and undercover work. She started in cadet's school after high school. Within a month she rose to an official officer. And on her 19th birthday she rose to be a local detective in Chicago. I met her on a special murder case in Chicago where a mother and father were murdered and 3 children were kidnapped. Through expert profiling and dangerous undercover work Reylynn was able to figure out that the children were originally adopted and there birth parents were our unsubs. Our original profile was that a man did the crime solo. She was able to figure out it was a team, where they were, and ran in gun drawn and talked down the birth parents who were planning to do a family suicide. All 3 children are safe and still living together in a new home. All this was done at age 19. So no, not a genius. Just good at what she does. Any other questions?"

The room was silent; none of the team members knew what to do or say. Hotch nodded, "Good. Now get packed we have a case." He turned to Reylynn. "Sorry I made you travel all the way out here just to return back. Our case is in Chicago."

Reylynn shook her head, "It's not a problem." She mentioned to her bag, "I'm ready to go."

Hotch nodded, "You have 30mins until we need to be on the plane. So go ahead and get situated into your desk."

Reylynn smiled, "Yes of course!" She turned to the team, "I'm excited to work with you all." And with that she turned and walked to her new desk.

The team stood for a moment until finally Garcia spoke, "They replaced her already… With a child."

Rossi looked over at her, "That's a kind of cruel thing to say."

Morgan nodded, "Yeah baby girl I mean Reylynn can't help it. She was hired for this job cause it sounds like she deserves it."

Garcia shook her head, "They replaced her too soon." And with that she turned and walked towards her office.

Reid watched Garcia leave then looked back to Reylynn who was sitting in her desk. She organized quickly and set out 3 picture frames. With that she rose to her feet, tossed her hair, threw her bag over her shoulder, and headed towards the jet. I mean sure, Reid missed Emily so much. It really was like the team was missing an important variable. But he couldn't bring himself to be mad at this girl, she was only doing her job. He's never been excited to meet new people, but this time, he found himself excited to get to know Reylynn. She most likely had a lot more knowledge then people would expect for her age. He missed Emily but there was nothing wrong with welcoming new teammates right?

Morgan elbowing him in the side pushed Reid out of his thought. "Hey man, take a picture. It will last longer."

Reid stared forward, "I'm not sure I follow. Why and of whom am I taking a picture?"

Morgan rolled his eyes, "Come with me man. Let's check her desk out."

Reid watches Morgan walk over to Reylynn's desk. "Morgan that's an invasion of privacy!"

"Oh hush pretty boy. Let's just check her pictures out. I mean I'm sure you want to know if she's single or not yes?" Morgan yelled over to him, Reid hurried over to him face flushed.

"Why would I want to know that!" Reid exclaimed.

Morgan gave him a look, "Cause you think she's hot." Before Reid could interject Morgan had picked up the first picture. It was a picture of a baby with its tongue stuck out and a older woman holding the baby laughing. "Alright looks like we got a baby picture of her and her mother." Morgan passed it to Reid who was going to go on about how rude this was but instead found himself laughing at the baby picture. Reylynn was indeed a silly child.

Morgan picked another up, "Alright we got group like picture here. Dance

team or something it seems." He elbowed Reid, "Hey buddy, she's flexible."

"Morgan! What the…" But Morgan had already handed the frame to him and grabbed the next one. Reid looked down at the picture and saw two girls on there tip toes and Reylynn front and center balancing on one leg, on a tip toe, and the other leg was high above her head. Reid couldn't help but wonder what she looked like while dancing.

Morgan handed Reid the next frame and grabbed the pervious two from him. He placed them back where they were. "That's obviously her old team. Don't you love a woman in uniform?" It was Reylynn in a cop's uniform surrounded by older men and women wearing the same thing.

A voice suddenly spoke behind them. "Naughty boys."

They both spun around to see Reylynn stand there with her hands on her hips. She laughed a sweet laugh, "Hey next time, instead of creeping around, just ask me okay?"

Neither guys said a thing, they felt like children who were caught with there hands in the cookie jar. Reylynn walked in the middle of both guys and picked up the first frame, "You were partly right. This is I as a baby. But that's my aunt they're not my mothers. I lived with my aunt most my life."

She switched for the next one, "Yes, this is me dancing. But not in a team. It was a free group that met everyday. We called it a crew. We did mostly hip-hop, break down dancing and competed on the streets. But sometimes I got to practice my ballet."

She set it down and took the one out of Reid's hands, he jumped a bit. Reylynn smiled at him sweetly. "This is my old team. Memorize the faces now, you'll be working with most of them over course of the next case." She gave the frame to Morgan, "I'll let the mastermind of this little plan put my last frame away." She grabbed something out of her drawer and then started to walk away. "See you boys on the plane."

Seaver laughed from her desk and started walking away as well, "Oh, I like this girl."

"Damn, she just gave us the beat down." Morgan sighed. "She's going to be trouble. I can tell. Too bad she's too young for me." Morgan winked at Reid. "Hey, she's in your age range though."

"Morgan!" Reid yelled as Morgan snickered and walked away.

"Come on pretty boy. The jet's going to leave without us."

The two of them hurried towards the jet.

Once they finally made it on the jet they spotted Hotch and Reylynn at each of the window seats. Rossi was next to Hotch and Seaver was across from the table. There was an open seat next to Reylynn. Reid was walking in front of Morgan as they walked down the ills. Reid was planning on walking straight back when at the last second Morgan rammed into him, which caused Reid to fall into the empty seat next to Reylynn.

"Oh sorry about that Reid. My bad." He laughed sitting next to Seaver, who was also laughing.

Reylynn was looking at the crime files. She looked up for a moment to smile and say, "Hi Spencer."

He adjusted himself for a moment in his seat, then sat straight up and said, "Greetings."

She smiled, laughed, and looked back down at the folder. "Okay they started working on this case not long before I left."

Morgan laughed, "And you haven't solved it yet."

Reylynn gave him a look, "I'm not some metrical worker here. I look at the facts, like everyone else. And this case is a toughie. Not a lot of evidence, and it's just all around a hard case. There so far have been 3 bodies found."

"So far?" Rossi questioned.

"We came to the conclusion that these people are no where near being done." Reylynn said setting the folder down.

"People?" Hotch said looking at the folder.

"Yes, our profile so far was as follows. All are victims were children under the age of 5 years. The first was Tina, age 4. Then Ben, age 3. And then, the tough one, Jason age 1." The whole group made a face of discus.

"So young." Reid spoke.

Reylynn nodded, "Yes. And single mothers were raising them all. The mother's have been missing since the children were killed. That is until we found Mary Phiffer, mother of Tina. Her body was found done by the river, all clues were washed away. Except carved onto her stomach was, 'I saved her.'"

Seaver made a face, "Saved the mom? From what? A long life or something?"

Reylynn shrugged, "We thought that at first until I thought about it. What if they were saying that they saved the child. When we thought that way we thought that we were looking for a group. At least 2. White. All in the older teens to younger 20's. A single mother raised possibly one of them. Or both, if they are related, which is also a possibility."

"So we are looking for a group of at least 2 white young adults. Either one of them has gone through painful memories with a single mother. Or maybe both have with the same mother. And they are doing this to save the child's from a bad childhoods with a single mother. They live in the Chicago area." Rossi reiterated.

Reylynn nodded, "Yes that's right. And that's all we have so far."

"No this is a good start. Thank you Reylynn." Hotch nodded. " Okay Rossi. Morgan, and Seaver head over to the merge. Reylynn and Reid come to the main offices with me. Reylynn you're going to have to help Reid set up the map with where the bodies were found and where the victims lived. The two of you will go over the data and see if we can maybe narrow this down and find an area the unsubs live. Clear?"

"Crystal." Reylynn said leaning back in her chair.

When the plane finally landed the team split up in the way Hotch told them too. Hotch, Reid, and Reylynn made it too the main police station in a matter of 10mins. They walked in and were greeted by a large black man.

"Agent Salazar." He spoke in a deep serious voice.

"Agent Madison." Reylynn spoke in an equally serious voice.

They walked straight up to each other, Reylynn's head made it up to about agent Madison's chest. Suddenly Madison's serious face twisted into a goofy grin. "There's my little Rey! Coming to visit from the big games!" He took her into a tight hug and picked her straight up off her feet.

She laughed, "Okay, Okay big guy. Put me down Mike!"

He laughed and put Reylynn down, "Oh someone is miss. Serious all of a sudden."

Reylynn rolled her eyes, " Guys this is Mike Madison. He was my upper officer all the years I worked with this division. Mike this is agents Aaron Hotchner and Dr. Spencer Reid."

Mike shook both there hands, "Nice to meet you both." He laughed when he shook Reid's hand, he yelled back, "Hey everyone! We've got another youngin!"

Reylynn sighed, "Mike, behave."

It was going to be a long case.

Thanks for reading! :)

And don't judge Reylynn quite yet. She isn't a Mary Sue. Give her a chance. And her name is pronounced (Ray- Lynn)
