Author's Note: OMG I love you guys who have been reviewing my story. I had a huge smile on my face reading them. BTW I love you Anon who reviewed, she/he understood why I was writing OC Bonnie (I made her smarter than Reid because of her experiences not her brains). I will tell you all about Bonnie's past but not yet, maybe in a chapter or two. Or I will slowly show you it but I'm still not sure. LOL
Also to the entire Criminal Minds fan, I based her first case with the team off the Episode 13 in Season 2 "No Way Out". So it is loosely based on it, I say that because JJ is supposed to stay behind in VA but I wanted her there for the story to work and other events I moved around.
I am also planning a little love-age between Bonnie and Reid, What's your thoughts on the subject?
So guys keep Reviewing and Alerts, cause they make me smile and do a happy dance!

Chapter Two – Getting To Know You
Bonnie showed the three agents the door and walked towards her bedroom, when she was suddenly hit from the side. Claire was jumping up and down, "You're going to be in the BAU, you have just completed one of the things on your bucket list!" Claire screamed as she looked at Bonnie.
"One case, one week at the max" Bonnie said as she walked into her room.
"Oh get off your high horse and scream with me and that doctor was a cutie," Claire said with a small smirk appearing on her face.
"Okay I'll make you a deal I'll see if he is single, and I won't scream and jump around" Bonnie said with a small smile. Claire simply smiled as she walked across her room and grabbed a bag out of the closet.
"So Miss Bonnie, what should we pack? Business or modern-fashionable?" Claire said as she started to inspect Bonnie's closet. Bonnie sat on her bed, wondering if that was a rhetorical question. Claire turned around and smiled. "Okay, I know the answer but sue me if I was hoping for a different answer." She said with a sneaky smile. Bonnie just laughed as she walked off to bathroom so she could have a shower and get dressed while Claire packed her bag for her. Claire and Bonnie had become close since they met first day of their course, soon after they brought an apartment. The two got on together just like sisters, which was a happy thought to Bonnie who had grown up with four brothers.
So Bonnie arrived at the airport, her bag in her hand, she felt her nerves build up but her mind wasn't bothered by the nerves. She heard her head up high as she climbed the steps of the plane. She stopped when she entered the plane. The whole team was now staring at her. JJ took a step forward and handed her a folder. "Don't worry you a new toy for them to play with," JJ said with a smile. "You can take any seat you want; this is Supervisory Special Agent Derek Morgan" Morgan smiled at Bonnie as JJ called his name, "of course you know Dr. Spencer Reid, from earlier, Supervisory Special Agent Emily Prentiss, Supervisory Special Agent Aaron Hotchner, and last bit least Senior Supervisory Special Agent Jason Gideon" JJ said before taking a seat. "Everyone this is FBI Cadet Agent Bonnelyn Cooper" JJ added.
"It's just Bonnie," Bonnie said with a smile, "I prefer Bonnie" she corrected herself. She saw a expression that appeared on everyone's face. She knew that they were all profiling her; every move she made, everything she said was going in their mental mind banks for later. Bonnie worked and sat across from Dr. Spencer Reid, and opened up the case folder, reading the start of the report. She flipped through the pages of pictures and stopped at the report on the last bodies found. Bonnie looked up and saw Dr. Reid was staring. "Is that a bad habit of yours?" Bonnie said with half a smile.
"Huh?" Dr. Reid said as he snapped back to reality.
"Staring?" she said simply. When a look of confusion came over his face, a small laugh escaped from Bonnie's lips.
"You are staring at me, evaluator, in the office and now here. Is it a bad habit or should I get used to it?" she said with a half smile.
"Sorry I didn't mean to," he said as he quickly looked down. Bonnie laughed and continued to read the file. Bonnie looked up to see Derek sitting next to her, "So Bonnie, what's your story?" he asked with a charming smile.
"My Story? Well I have two degrees, Bachelor of Physiology and Bachelor of Criminology..."
"Then why didn't you go into the police force if you have those degrees?" he asked with a small confusion.
"Okay, Your trying to sum me up, Look I'm fine to talk about the case, football, and other stuff, I'm even happy to talk about my personal life but I draw the line at my childhood and family life" she said the last part of her speech with a serious tone.
"So I guess why you became a FBI Cadet is off limits?" Derek said taking the hint.
"My family is in the police force but that's all I'm going to say about my family. Therefore, you can file that away in my folder in your head. Because I don't want to talk about it" She added and pulled out her iPod from her bag and went back to reading the case file. Derek looked at her with a confused looked. He stood up and returned to his sit next to Emily.
"So next time it's your turn to ask the questions" he said to her before pulling out the folder and reading it as well. Emily laughed and continued to read. JJ cleared her throat, "Okay guys lets go over the case file, so in Golconda, Nevada, in 1996 a male rib cage was found in the Desert Rose National Park almost 10 years later two more victims were found in the exact same place. There is evidence that the male died before the female. They had found the ID of the female from a bracelet she was wearing. Her name is Catherine Hill, she run away from her house two weeks ago."
"So you have 13 cases in 30 years and never two victims killed at once?" Bonnie spoke up as she looked at JJ, who just nodded.
"Most of the victims were unwanted people, never important" Derek spoke this time.
"How do we know they are connected?" Gideon spoke as he was writing down in a book.
"Both on the unidentified male and male found recently both were missing their right rib bone," Bonnie said as the whole team looked at her. "And what does the Unsub do with the bone?" she added with a half a smile.
"Another thing these murders have in common is the Interstate 80 – I80." Reid spoke for the first time after getting embarrassed by Bonnie.
"Okay guys when we land, I would like Morgan, Gideon and I to go to the murder scene and then Prentiss, JJ, Reid and Cooper to go to the police station and start setting up so we can get a profile up and running." Hotchner ordered as he closed the file and looked out the window.
Bonnie looked up from her folder and saw Reid trying to stare at her without her noticing, she smiled to herself as she looked back down.

It was an awkward moment when walking into the police station for Bonnie, memories off her past came rushing back to her.
-Bonnie's Memories-
A small girl runs into the police station past the officer at the front desk. "Afternoon Bonnie" the officer called as Bonnie past. "Hi Joey!" she called.
"Daddy, Daddy!" Bonnie called as she run into a office, a man stood behind the desk with a small smile.
"Bonnie, aren't you supposed to be in school. It's one in the afternoon, you supposed to be at lunch." The tall man said as she glanced down at Bonnie, was an angry expression.
"But Daddy guess what I solved the class!" she said happily with a smile. "It wasn't a serial killer daddy it was just a couple of people. Like you know they swapped the person they really wanted to kill with someone else so they could have an alibi for the murder!" she said jumping up and down like being on a trampoline.
Her father just glanced pasted her at the murder boards in the main police station. It all clicked, he bent down and kissed Bonnie, and walked past her. Bonnie stood glued to the spot and walked out of the office. "Take her back to school, Joey!" Bonnie's father yelled as he stood in front of the board.
"Yes Sheriff McDowell" Joey said as she grabbed Bonnie's hand and leaded her out of the station.
-Bonnie's Memories-
"Bonnie? Bonnie can you hear me?" Reid asked waving a hand in front of her face, she snapped back to reality.
"Oh sorry, how long was I out?" she asked shaking her head.
"Only a couple of minutes," Reid said looking at her with a small-confused look on his face. Bonnie walked towards where Emily was handing a small object to a woman, who was being held by a police officer.
"You dropped this?" Emily said to the woman, she stopped and grabbed it. "What is it?" Emily said in a sweet voice. The woman started to blow on the object and it started to whistle. A small laugh escaped Emily's mouth as she turned to Reid and Bonnie.
"A psycho with a whistle that's not too weird?" Reid said with a 'can-you-believe-that' tone of voice, as she turned and walked back to the jailhouse. Bonnie laughed at what Reid said as she walked past him.
"Miss Bonnelyn McDowell?" a familiar voice said, Bonnie turned around to see a familiar but yet not familiar face looking at her.
"Do I know you?" she said with a small smile. It had been quite a long time since someone called her that. Yes, it was her birth name but she did not go by it anymore and there were good reasons why.
"I'm Joseph Phillip, I used to look after you when your father worked at my old police station," He said with a warm smile.
"Joey?" she said returning the warm smile he had given her. "Oh my... I don't know what to say," she added with a huge smile.
"I know you were only 8 years old when I knew you, here you are nearly 25, right?" he said hugging her tightly.
"Yes, I can't believe you still remember, "
"Well how can I not," he started, he looked towards Emily and Reid "Does she give you guys as much trouble as me, always sneaking off to figure out why someone did something that didn't make sense to her" He added
"Well we have only known each other less than 24 hours, Joey and I have changed since then. I can control those urges," she said with a laugh. Joey showed them where to set up; a big smile appeared across her face for the rest of the face whenever she saw Joey. The smile did not go unnoticed, Reid placed that smile in a box in his mind, incase he was feeling down. That way he could smile just like her.

Back in the desert with the body parts, Gideon, Morgan and Hotchner walked towards a tent, where a officer walked out of the tent and vomited by the side of the it. Gideon walked past a lady that was standing there saying someone, "Is the scene been compromised?" he asked kneeling beside one of the body parts.
"Um... No? I'm Sheriff Georgia Davis, but call me George," she said a bit confused, at the start but got her confidence back as she held out her hand.
"Hi, I'm Supervisory Special Agent Aaron Hotchner, and this is Supervisory Special Agent Derek Morgan and the one who sometimes forgets his manners is Supervisory Special Agent Jason Gideon." He said with a smile as he shook her hand.
"And this is Deputy Rick Slime" She said pointing to a man standing beside her.
"Do you really think we have a serial killer here?" Rick asked with a half nod.
"I think you have a serial, killer that passes through here every once and a while" Derek said staring at Rick, a serious undertone to his voice. Derek walked towards one of the victims looking at the torso. "Prison tats," he noted. "Garcia is going to love this," Derek said with a shake of his hand, as he pulled out his phone and took photos to send to Garcia.
