Change is not something people like. The change of weather when on holiday is not the nicest of changes, when the doctor says you need to change your diet to improve your health, that change is despised by many, moving house is a change many go through but at the same time many don't like. The change from year six to year seven is a change many 11-year-old hate to even think about, a change of job is something people think they'll like but at the same time it would be so much easier to stick to what you know with people you know you can tolerate for a reasonable amount of time.
However, a change for you may be awful, but the change you're going through might be amazing for someone else.
The rain on a summer holiday may be awful for you, but good for the countries residents who has now dead flowers and yellow grass, the change from year six to year seven may be scary as hell for all 11-year-olds, but will most likely be good for all of the teachers who had to put up with them.
For Spencer Reid going from the first year of the F.B.I Academy to the 'field' in the space of 3 months was a change he wasn't looking forward to, but for Aaron Hotchner, it was a change he was looking forward to.
It had been 7:30 on a Monday morning Aaron Hotchner had been told about the Tuesday arrival of one Spencer Reid, a 23-year-old genius how has been classed as a special case for going against the rules and getting into the BAU at the aged of only 23, a year before everyone else can even apply for the FBI.
"How important is this?" Aaron Hotchner asked whilst sat in his office.
"It came straight from the director, I am sorry it's such short notice, I only wish you'd been told sooner, but I was only told this morning." Erin Strauss stood in front of the desk, trying to get her head around it.
"If only the director was as sorry as you. He's still a kid, he's 23 years old, and it says he went to college aged 12 left college aged 14…" Aaron was still in disbelief although he knew he couldn't do anything about it.
"I know, but if we try and see the bright side, he might be able to assist you in closing some of your cases quicker, however, I must say I am amazed the director thinks you need the help." Erin said moving to sit down.
"Has Gideon been told?" Aaron asked, looking out onto the bullpen, to see Derek and JJ talking with Garcia.
"Yes, he has taken today off, but he'll be back tomorrow, I know it's a shock due to him only coming back a few weeks ago, but he seemed to react okay."
"Well at least someone told him, the last thing he needs is to come back to find a newbie around." Aaron said only to watch his boss nod in agreement.
"Well, he starts tomorrow, the director gave him orders to be here for 9 and any cases for tomorrow will be passed on to another team…" She said before standing.
"Thank you for the file, and for explaining all of this."
"You're welcome, I just hope this all works out for the best." She said and with that she left leaving Hotchner to his own thoughts.
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on his door.
"Everything okay, Hotch?" Derek Morgan asked walking into his boss's office.
"Yeah, can you ask Garcia to stay a minute, I need to make an announcement." Arron said with a small smile, of course he was a little excited, but he would never show it.
"You sure everything is okay?" He asked again, of course, he knew better but he still wanted to be sure.
"Everything's fine, just something we all need to be aware of." He tried to explain best he could without giving anything away as if it were a big surprise. The truth was he wanted them all to know at the same time instead of repeating it over and over, then having to answer all the questions 3 times.
Walking into the round table room, he simply placed Spencer Reid's file on the table before taking a seat himself.
"What's going on, Hotch?" JJ asked, now a little worried herself.
"Tomorrow, Spencer Reid, 23, 3 months into the academy will be joining our team, Strauss came to see me this morning, it came straight from the director, this is his file, Garcia feel free to dig up more about this boy. He'll be here tomorrow, 9am, Gideon will be back to, he has already been told, so…" How do you end a sentence like that? Hotch was still in shock himself.
"He's just a kid." Morgan put in and Hotch nodded.
"Nor I or Strauss can believe it, I think Gideon is in shock, but apparently he's smarter than most people his ages, graduated high school aged 12, and was in college aged 14." Hotch went on to say.
"So, he'll be here, tomorrow morning 9am?" Garcia asked to make sure.
"Yes, our cases will be passed on to another team." He said, shaking his head a little.
"Right, so that's it?" JJ asked, moving to stand as did Garcia.
"Yes, paperwork needs to be done, Morgan, I need the report on the last case on my desk by lunch, JJ any important cases need to be pasted on to Team 2, Garcia, see what other information you can get me on our new agent, I am going to call Gideon, see if he knows anything." And with that everyone went in different directions.
Getting to his office, he sat at his desk with the full intention to ring Gideon, but the thought of meeting the new agent tomorrow had sent his head into a spin.
Could you really fall for someone you've never met? Or was it simply his head playing tricks on him? Either way, 9am tomorrow morning was going to be one like no other.
I really hope you liked part one, and I hope you stay tuned for part two!
Please let me know what you think, I am always looking to improve!
