I don't own Criminal Minds or any of its characters. This is my first Criminal Fanfic so please review, kind criticism is welcome.
FBI Agent Allison Greenwald sat at her desk buried in paperwork. She had been with the Behavioral Analysis Unit almost a month and as much as she didn't want anything terrifying or tragic to happen, at the same time she was hoping a case might role in soon, the days of late had been nothing but boring lately. All she seemed to be doing for the past week and a half is write, record, and even do some extra-curricular research. She looked at her clock to see, to her relief, that one p.m. had rolled around and she could finally give herself the luxury of lunch. She stood up from her desk and went to fetch some water while pondering where she could go out to grab something delicious. On her way to the fridge she passed by Reid and Morgan discussing something by Morgan's desk. As she walked by, Morgan shot Allie a grin.
"But I bet you Ms. Greenwald here could tell you even more about it," he said to Reid.
Allie came to a stop, smiling back at Morgan. "Spreading rumors about me?" She asked Morgan playfully.
"Not exactly," Morgan replied. "Just trying to explain sports here to Reid. Today's topic is baseball, because it seemed to be the one he might appreciate the most. And I know you're the big fanatic around here."
Allie smiled to herself. "I am," she admitted, taking a comfortable spot leaning against the desk to include herself in the conversation. "Also," she added, "I was just about to head out to lunch, if either of you would like to join."
"Nah," Morgan said, "I ate a big breakfast, but Reid here was just talking about some new sandwich place down the street."
"Oh yeah?" Allie inquired.
Reid fumbled on a response, "Yeah… I heard about it from one of the guys on the 5th floor. It's supposed to be, you know, good."
Allie smiled at him. "Cool. Well, if you'd like to try it I'd head over with you. But if not that's fine."
"No," Reid jumped in. "That sounds good. I'll just… ah… get my coat and meet you back here?"
"Sounds like a plan," Allie replied. Spencer jumped up and headed back to his own desk. Allie shook her head and leaned it to talk to Derek. "Is it me?" She whispered. "Is there something about me that makes him uncomfortable or something?"
Derek just chuckled. "No, darling," he reassured her. "If anything it's just your pretty face. Reid doesn't have the best of social skills."
Allie felt a little flattered but also a little nervous. "Well," she said as Reid was approaching "Let's see if I can't crack him this afternoon…"
Morgan chuckled. "Good luck," he said softly, "have a good time, you two rascals," he said a little louder. Reid gave an awkward wave of the hand and Allie just shook her head and gave a smile back.
