Chapter Two: A Jammed Car door and Just Friends.
Audrey had only been at the BAU for one week now and needless to say she was starting to worry that coming here and accepting this transfer had been one big mistake.
She somehow wondered if the only reason she had taken this job in the first place was because she felt like she owed him.
She rolled her eyes at this thought. Why was it that she could only see the dark horrible side of things?
She knew that she owed a lot to Jason Gideon. He had saved her both mentally and physically when she was only sixteen years old.
She had met Gideon as she was laying in a hospital room alone. She and her eleven year old sister were somehow the only survivors. The only injury she had suffered was a small gash along her back. The only thing that remained of it now was a thin pale scar. Her sister had somehow been completely unharmed.
Gideon had come to see her then. He'd come to ask her what she remembered though she had refused to talk about it. It had been a long one sided conversation. He given her his phone number and work address claiming that she should write him if she needed anything. At first she had been cynical about it. Thinking that he was just doing it because he felt somewhat sorry for her.
She had wrote him though not expecting him to ever write her back. She'd been shocked when he did and the letters had been exchanged from that point on.
He had talked her into coming here. Gideon had somehow become a father figure to her encouraging her to keep on going for a PhD. Always encouraging her interests in criminal psychology, law enforcement, and eventually the FBI. He had been the one who had talked her into the BAU.
She already knew that she didn't want anyone to know that she had known Gideon since the age of sixteen. After all what could be worse that having people think that she had only gotten this job because she knew him. It wouldn't be fair for people to have that kind of an idea. Especially when she'd worked just as hard as everyone else to get here.
She sighed staring up from her paperwork that she was pretending to be working on. She frowned at her now cold cup of coffee deciding that getting some fresh coffee would be a good excuse to take a break. Especially considering her hands were killing her.
Spencer frowned as he watched Audrey get up from her desk. She had been given the desk across from Morgan and she had seemed to settle in quite nicely. He guessed it must be hard though being transferred here. Going from just filling out paperwork to actually working cases, and not really knowing anyone.
Spencer had quickly discovered that she was one of the very few people that could beat him at cards. She was horrible at chess though claiming that she was never able to learn how to play it properly.
She had seemed to be quick to get along with JJ and Prentiss. She hadn't met Garcia yet, but Spencer was sure she'd get along with her as well.
She'd had her first case a few days ago and Spencer could tell it had hit her hard. He guessed that everyones first case hit them hard though.
He had wanted to talk to her about it on the trip home. He wanted to tell her that it was okay to feel the way she was feeling, but when he tried she'd stopped him.
He took his eyes off of her when Morgan spoke up sounding extremely amused. "You know if you keep on staring at her like that she's going to think that your weird Reid".
He looked at Morgan feeling his face turn slightly pink "I don't know what your talking about".
He stared back down at his paperwork ignoring Morgan's voice "Yeah sure Reid".
What did Morgan mean he was staring at her.? Okay fine so he was, but it was hard not too.

Spencer let out a sigh as he made his way out to the parking garage. He was more than ready to get home. The sooner he got there the better.
Morgan had been teasing him about Audrey since the second she'd gotten here. He still wondered why she had chosen him to help her find Gideon's office. Maybe it was because he was one of the only people that hadn't really been doing something when she'd gotten here?
He wondered why she was still talking to him now. It wasn't like anyone really took the time to talk to him about something other than work. Well Gideon talked to him about things that didn't have anything to do with work. Then again Gideon had always been able to see him as something other than some freak who knew way to much for their own good. Gideon had become his mentor and his father figure when he'd started working at the BAU.
He had almost made it to his car when he heard a familiar voice. He looked up letting his eyes follow the voice until he saw her.
Audrey was busy staring down at the drivers door of her little silver car as she pulled hard at the door. All while Cursing under her breath.
Spencer frowned ignoring the more unreasonable part of his brain that was telling him too keep heading to his car just pretend like he didn't notice her and leave. He headed towards her finding himself speaking up.
"Do you need any help"?
She jumped slightly before staring up at him with wide eyes "Spencer you scared me".
He felt his cheeks burn slightly wondering if this was really a good idea. "Sorry I didn't mean to".
She shrugged letting a small nervous smile spread across her face "It's okay I just didn't know that anyone I knew was in this parking garage".
She sighed speaking up again as she sat down on the hard cement not caring that she was in a nice pair of black pants and a brand new dark short sleeved purple blouse. She tried pulling on the door from this angle but still remained unsuccessful "My doors jammed and I cant get my car into the shop until next week".
He bit his bottom lip speaking up "Let me try".
She nodded letting go of the door and standing up straightening out her clothing before scooting over so he could give it a try.
He took a hold of the door feeling like an idiot for offering help. It wasn't like he was the strongest person.
He pulled on it as hard as he could finally managing to get it open praying that he hadn't broken out into a sweat. Nothing could be more embarrassing than showing how completely weak he really was in front of her.
She smiled softly glancing up at him as got into her car before she spoke up "Thank you so much Spence. You have no idea how long I've been pulling at that stupid thing".
"It was no problem really". He stated wanting to run back to his car as quickly as possible before he made an idiot out of himself. He could already feel his palms sweating. He was starting to get the familiar feeling of butterflies spreading through out his stomach as she looked at him.
She smiled again as she shut her door "It was nice of you to help though. I owe you one Spence".
He nodded as he watched her drive off. He was about to head towards his car until he heard Morgans voice "Smooth Reid really smooth".
He looked back at him feeling his cheeks burn beginning to wonder how long Morgan had been watching them "What is that supposed to mean"?
Morgan grinned looking even more amused "I'd hate to be the one to break it to you, but she was flirting with you".
He raised his eyebrows feeling his cheeks burn even more "She was not. She was just thanking me for helping her out".
Morgan burst out laughing "Yes she was. She gave you a flirty smile and then said that she owed you one. Trust me I know what it looks like when a girls flirting with you".
He rolled his eyes deciding to ignore him. They were just friends and that was that.
