Hello readers... this is my first Criminal Minds story and I'm super excited to be writing again... after a loooong absence. This fic is going to be based on the movie Always (1989) one of my all time favorite movies starring Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter two of my favorite actors.... Anyway, if you end up liking the story, I strongly suggest you see the movie... it'a amazing!!
Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds or it's characters... nor do I own Always or it's character.... this is all in good fun!!
Happy reading.
Prologue
It is a man's world.
She knows this, and yet every day she wakes up determined to prove them wrong. Them, who say women shouldn't see the things she sees on a daily basis. Them, who believe women are the weaker of the two sexes, who don't belong taking up a man's career. But they don't know, they don't know her.
She is a strong, independent, and sometimes stubborn woman, risking her life every day to make a difference in the world. She works day in and day out to save the lives of thousands of innocent people, and put the scum of the earth behind bars for good. It is her calling, it's her life. The only life she has ever known… that is, until she met him. And now she has two loves, two things she couldn't ever possibly live without.
But it seems that lately her life has been changing. She is slowly stepping out of her comfort zone and crossing the line into the unknown. The unknown is surprisingly uncomfortable to her. She has always dealt well with change, but this time it is different. This change would mean the beginning of a whole new life, an entirely different adventure. An adventure that just a year ago she didn't see in her future at all. And this is what scares her the most, the suddenness of it; she's not one for spontaneity… not anymore anyway.
She has long passed into the stage of her life where preparation and careful planning became an everyday part of life, reckless impulses few and far between. Where hard work and determination bring you happiness and opportunities don't fall in your lap when least expected. That is how she was trained to live, but now… this man is making her head spin. Her thoughts that were once so sturdy in her mind are starting to sway. If a strong enough wind came along, they might just fall over.
But not yet.
She's not quite finished with this man's world.
Alright... so what do you think? Sorry that it's short but I'm just setting the stage. Let me know if you'd like more.
