Chapter One: Meeting The New Girl

Spencer Reid frowned as he entered the elevator making his way up to the sixth floor knowing he had a full day of paperwork to look forward to as soon as he made it to the bullpen. Well unless they were called away on a case that is.

He exited the elevator making his way to his desk not surprised to see that piles of paperwork were already taking over the desk. He had a slight sneaking suspicion that Morgan had been slipping him some paperwork. He sat down at his desk frowning over at Morgan before staring down at the first file.

He looked up when Morgan finally spoke up nodding over at the empty desk across from his own. "Were getting a new girl".

Spencer raised his eyebrows slightly surprised by this. Prentiss had started only one month ago and no one had really known that she was going to work on their team until she had shown up.

"Where did you hear that"? Spencer stated feeling doubtful that it was true. It was more than likely a case of a workplace rumor.

Morgan grinned looking slightly amused by this "You know for having an eidetic memory you sure do forget things easily. Gideon told us all last week that her transfer had been sent in and as soon as her psych evaluation was sent in she would start. She was supposed to come in today and talk with him".

"My eidetic memory refers to things I've read not things I've heard". Spencer stated rolling his eyes. He seriously wondered how long it would take the people he worked with to remember that.

Spencer sighed looking up when Prentiss arrived taking a seat at her desk.

"Hey did Gideon really say that we're getting a new girl"? He stated wondering if Morgan was just messing with him. He wouldn't put it past him since he did seem to enjoy playfully picking on Spencer at times.

"Yeah she's supposed to have a pretty high IQ. I think she's about 24. She had some kind of desk job downstairs before this". Prentiss stated staring down at her own stack of paperwork.

"Is it as high as mine? I mean does she have a PhD or anything like that"? Spencer stated feeling nervous but slightly excited to work with someone who might have as high of an IQ as him.

Maybe she would be someone that could at least make him feel like he was a normal 25 year old. He knew everyone tried to make him feel normal and tried to get him out, but he still felt like he didn't quite fit in sometimes.

He could admit that the thought made him slightly nervous though. What if she was being hired to replace him? After all wasn't one genius enough? Why did they really need another team member wasn't having Prentiss here to replace Elle enough?

He sighed shaking the thoughts from his head. Maybe he was just being paranoid?

"I don't know. Nobodies really said anything about her. I think she Gideon supposedly requested for her transfer". Prentiss stated finally taking a seat.

He nodded his head wondering why Gideon hadn't said anything to him about this new girl to him?

He had always been strangely close to Gideon. He had always looked up to him. Not just because of his work at the BAU, but because of the way he handled everything going on around him.

He managed to get up and head to the coffee pot pouring himself a cup with more than enough sugar knowing that the coffee break would distract him from worrying. He probably worried too much anyway or at least thats what people tried to tell him.

It didn't help that he hadn't been getting much sleep lately thanks to his nightmares.

He jumped slightly when he heard a soft voice behind him "Excuse me".

He widened his eyes turning around to face the owner of the voice. She was young she looked around his age.

He stared back at her not saying anything as he studied her. Long pitch black hair that was pulled into a loose but professional bun. Dark blue eyes that weren't quite as dark as JJ's but close. A friendly face with very feminine lips and light freckles spread over the bridge of her nose. A pale hourglass figure accentuated by a simple black dress and short bright red nails. She wasn't extremely tall. She seemed to only come up to right above his shoulder though she was wearing a plain pair of black heels to help her get that high.

She spoke up again running her hand over her forehead managing to push some loose strands of hair behind her ear. "This is really embarrassing, but I'm looking for Jason Gideon's office. I don't know if I'm on the right floor though? I'm kind of new here".

He widened his eyes even more wondering what she was doing talking to him. Pretty nice girls never really talked to him or asked him questions. They always flocked to Morgan. Sure JJ, Prentiss, and Garcia talked to him and were nice to him, but they worked together. He'd like to think that they were his friends as well as his coworkers though.

"Your in the right place it's right upstairs. I'll walk you there" He stated thankfully managing not to stutter or say anything completely stupid.

He managed to lead her upstairs all while focusing how she'd told him that she had been wondering around for nearly an hour now trying to find Jason Gideon's office.

He didn't have time to knock at Gideon's door since Gideon came right out smiling at the sight of the young women and then at Spencer.

He finally spoke up looking pleased "I see you've already met. Audrey this is Dr. Spencer Reid. Spencer this is Dr. Audrey Miller. She's going to be working with us".

Audrey turned to face Spencer smiling brightly "It's nice to meet you. Dr. Reid. Please just call me Audrey though it makes me feel a little more my age".

Spencer swallowed the lump in his throat somehow managing to reach out and shake the hand that Audrey had been holding out. He felt his cheeks burn noticing that her hands were extremely soft.

He finally spoke up wanting to act like he wasn't afraid of making a idiot out of himself in front of a pretty girl and his mentor "Oh ah just call me Reid or Spencer or even Spence. I mean thats what everyone calls me. What do you have a PhD in"?

"Psychology. I've been working a desk job for the past year. You"? She stated still smiling

"Mathematics, Physics and Psychology. I also have an eidetic memory and can read 20,000 word per minute. I uh I graduated from high school when I was twelve". He stated feeling his palms sweat. This was the part that people always either made fun of him for or just looked at him like he was some kind of freak.

"Wow thats really amazing. I graduated from high school at fifteen which I mean was still early but I can't imagine graduating at twelve". She exclaimed looking truly impressed.

Spencer felt his cheeks turn pink when Audrey finally made her way into Gideon's office with Gideon but not before she thanked Spencer at least two times for helping her find the right office.

He made it downstairs trying to ignore the fact that Morgan was staring at him grinning considering he and probably everyone else had seen the whole thing.

He stared down at his paperwork and tried hard to focus, but his mind kept on wondering back to Audrey. He guessed he didn't have to worry about her replacing him. She really seemed to nice for that. He hoped he could get to know her more and he had a feeling that he might just have his chance.
