It was a normal typically boring day for Violet Lockhart. She was walking to work, which probably wasn't the best idea since she apparently had a stalker after her. At that moment she didn't care, she was enjoying the beautiful, sunny day. Living in Seattle, those didn't happen often so she was taking advantage by walking the 3 miles to work. It was kind of a loud day, since everyone seemed to be out walking and playing in parks trying to take advantage of the nice day as well. Wanting to block out the noise, Violet pulled out her purple Ipod from the big bag resting on her shoulder. She put her matching purple earphones into her ears and pressed play. She let the soothing sound of City and Color relax her as she walked. The meaningful lyrics, and powerful guitar and voice mesmerized her and immediately relaxed her every time she listened to it. She was so into her music that she barely noticed that she was already at work. As she walked into the building know as the Cheatin' Heart she remembered that she was suppose to meet her "protector" today. Apparently the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit was supposed to send over an agent to go under cover and find her stalker. This under cover agent was suppose to pretend to be her new boyfriend. God I hope he's cute, that make this a little easier. Honestly she thought this whole thing was so stupid. She had dealt with trouble and danger and crime all of her life. She wasn't scared of it then and she's definitely not scared of it now. But if they think that this stalker is dangerous she might as well help find him and get him of the streets for the safety of other people. She was already backstage when she was met by her boss and friend and motherly figure Peyton Taylor.
"Hello Honey, you ready for the show tonight?"
"You know I am" I smiled.
"Yeah, but are you ready to meet your new "boyfriend"?"
Of course she would have to bring that up. Peyton was the only one who knew what was really going on.
"I guess so, I just hope he's cute"
"Honey, who cares if he's cute he's an FBI agent!"
"I care!" I said playing along with her dramatics. "Hey can I go rehearse now?"
Sure, sure go on. But I expect to be the first you introduce your new "boyfriend" too."
"Fine!"
I left her and made my way to my dressing room to get changed for rehearsal. It only toke me a few minutes to get changed then I was out and on the stage. I was telling the band what songs I was singing tonight. Lady Killer and Fighter were among them. The majority of my songs were about the pain I had endured through out my life. People were amazed when they found out I write all of my own songs and that they were all about true life experiences. I've had a pretty tough life and I've accepted that. Writing and performing these songs were my way of dealing with the anger that sometimes occurred when I thought about my past. I quickly focused when the band said they were ready to start rehearsing. I started off with a fun, but painful break up song called Lady Killer. By now I wasn't even sure what songs were for who. The music started and I opened my mouth and started singing.
I had a problem
I couldn't solve it.
He had a flashy diamond smile, but had no soul.
I gave him lovin'
I gave him all I had
But when I needed his love back his heart was cold
Well he told me his love would never end
And he sold me and I bought it once again
Shot down, shot down by a lady killer
I should have seen it comin from the start
Shot down, shot down by a lady killer
He took his aim and shot straight through my heart
And then it hit me
Saw him for what he was
I had to cut him lose, think fast and that was that
And then I saw him
He asked me how I been
Started beggin, pleading, crying the whole routine
Fooled me, two times
The shame is all on me
its a, nice try but I'm not gonna make it three
Shot down, shot down by the lady killer
I should have seen it coming from the start
Shot down, shot down by the lady killer
He took his aim and shot straight through my heart
You had me thinking it was a fairytale
An old time movie just doesn't end as well
Struck by that arrow blinded by your smile (by your smile, by your smile, by your smile)
Shot down, shot down by the lady killer
I should have seen it coming from the start
Shot down, shot down by the lady killer
He took his aim and shot straight through my heart
Shot down, shot down by the lady killer
I should have seen it coming from the start
Shot down, shot down by the lady killer
He took his aim and shot straight through my heart
Shot down, shot down by the lady killer
I should have seen it coming from the start
Shot down, shot down by the lady killer
He took his aim and shot straight through my heart
Shot down, shot down by the lady killer
I should have seen it coming from the start
Shot down, shot down by the lady killer
He took his aim and shot straight through my heart
Shot down shot down by the lady killer!
When I was done the first song, I headed back towards the band to tell them they did amazing and that we could move on to the next song. By the time I got to the band, head of security, Michael, was headed toward her.
"Violet, there is someone her to see you. He says it's important. I told him to wait by the bar."
"Okay, I'll be there in a second."
She soon got off the stage and started walking towards the bar. She paused when she was an extremely tall, skinny guy sitting there looking very uncomfortable. He was not usually the type of guy she was interested in. She usually went for the whole bad guy thing, but for some odd reason she was fascinated with this guy. She started walking towards him again.
"Hi, you must be the guy from the BAU." She said a bit nervously as she extended her hand.
"Yeah, I mean yes. I'm Dr. Spencer Reid, but you can call me Spencer or Reid. Whatever you prefer." He responded. Wow was he nervous and cute.
"Well it's nice to meet you Spencer Reid. I'm Violet, Violet Lockhart." She smiled.
"I know. Uh I mean I've already been filled in about your case." He stuttered.
"Ah, my case, right. So you're here to protect of whatever"
"Yes, I'm here to protect you and to find your stalker."
"Great, well I guess I should introduce you to my co-workers, Boyfriend." She laughed nervously.
"I guess you should" he smiled back at me, clearly nervous as well.
He stood up. He really was tall, he completely towered over me. I made a move to grab his hand. Partly because I wanted to make this whole cover story believable and partly because I wanted too. He was slightly startled when I touched his hand. I decided to explain myself.
"Sorry, I figured we should at least try to make this couple thing believable."
"Oh right. That's a very good idea."
He reached for my hand again. I suddenly felt a little shock; I quickly looked up into his eyes. It was clear that he too felt it.
"Come on, I want you to meet my boss." I smiled leading him away form the bar.
