AN: Wow, my mind is in over-drive right now. New story, new plot, new blood on the team :D Hope you like it, and don't forget to leave a review ;)
Disclaimer: Madeleine Hightower, Teresa Lisbon, Patrick Jane, Kimball Cho, Wayne Rigsby, Grace Van Pelt and Red John don't belong to me. I own every mistake you can find and the newest member of our favourite team.
Madeleine Hightower entered the bullpen and took a moment to observe her best team.
Rigsby and Van Pelt were near Cho's desk, the three of them talking about a new movie coming up, which her daughter wanted to see, and Jane and Lisbon were bickering, as usual, on his couch. The interaction between the five of them was amazing. How was it possible that different people with different backgrounds could team up and fight crime in California?
She could only hope that they were ready for the news she held.
"May I have your attention please?"
It still amazed her the power she had over this particular team. They all grew suddenly quiet, and she thought she was just like a teacher scolding her alumns.
"The portuguese police sent me a request to accept a Criminal Investigator in the bureau. The subject in question will arrive here tomorrow and I'm putting him or her in your team Agent Lisbon."
Out of the corner of her eye, Madeleine saw Grace's features light up. After all, she wasn't going to be the rookie anymore. The only person in the team who seemed reluctant about this was Lisbon. Her brows were furrowed and she chewed her lower lip.
"Ma'am, I don't think we need new blood in our team. There are four agents and a consultant and you know the way we work."
"The methods of your team, while unconventional, may be a great experience for the new member. The new member will stay in your team. End of discussion."
"Yes ma'am."
She knew she had ruined the good mood of her agents, but it would be worth it. The Director of the portuguese Police had told her that the Criminal Investigator wanted to be a part of the team, and who was she to deny it? They needed people like that, ambitious and strong enough to venture into the unknown. God help her if the new agent was just like Patrick Jane.
