So this is the second instalment is my story, but it's really just the first official chapter, so R&R.
Enjoy,
I was about to leave the apartment and head of to the Jefersonian when my cell rang. I looked at caller ID : number unknown but from the area code I could tell it came from Quantico. Why would somebody from Quantico be calling me ? unless…
"Hello"
"Is this special agent Conners?"
"This is her."
"You are speaking with FBI Section Chief Director Erin Strauss."
"yes…" At this point I was getting my hopes up.
"I've reviewed your application and I think you would be a great addition to the BAU team here at Quantico."
"Oh, thank you"
"So I'm offering you a spot on the team."
"Thank you so much, so do you need my answer right away or de I have some time to think about it?"
"Well, I would like to have your answer by the end of the week, so is 3 days enough time to think about it ?"
"Yes, thank you and you will hear from me by the end of the week."
"Okey, Goodbye"
"Goodbye"
So I got accepted in the BAU team. That's a total surprise, I only sended in my application because I never would have dreamd that they would pick me. But now that I got this opportunity should I take it ? I mean it's a great opportunity for me but can I realy leave everything I have here in DC behind to go to Virginia ? I don't know. I decide to keep this latest twist in my life to myself for a wile until I figure out what I'm gonna do. As I walk out of the apartment and to the Jefersonian, I keep wondering if my friends will notice my distress.
**At the same time with Booth**
I was just at the Jeffersonian when my cell rang. I looked at caller ID and saw it was the director.
"Booth."
"Hello Booth I can tell you should be really of agent Van Lindt"
"And why would that be director ?"
"Well her application for the BAU unit got accepted."
"Oh thanks for the intel director."
Her application for the BAU unit got accepted. I didn't even know she applied. I should go ask the squints to see if they knew about this. Not to my surprise they were all up at the platform bent over a skelleton of some unknown person.
"Guys did you know about this ?"
They all looked puzzeld so Bones askt me "Know about what ?"
"About the fact that Lissa applied for the BAU unit in Quantico. I just got a call from the director saying I should be proud because her application got accepted."
"What's the BAU" asked a puzzeld Zack.
" So I take it you didn't know."
"Booth will you please answer Zacks question." Said Cam.
"Well the BAU is the Behavioral Analysis Unit. And it's basicly a team of profilers who get called in to help difficult cases."
It was Hodgins time to ask a question. "Where is this Behavioral Analysis Unit ?"
"Well it's in Quantico, Virginia."
Zack looked rather disterssed. " Virginia. That's very far from here."
"Well you do realise that if we ask her to stay, she will say no to that offer in a heartbeat." Cam remarked.
"We can't let her do that."said Bones "it's a really great opportunity for her."
"So we all agree then."asked Hodgins "we make sure she goes."
"yes." Came the answer from everyone. But I could see that none were really happy about this. I mean they were happy for Lissa but they were all gonna miss her as was I. But we knew that what we were gonna do, was the right thing. We all saw Lissa coming, so we went to meet her.
**'Lissa' P.O.V.**
As I enterd the lab aria I was greeted by the intire squint squat and Booth. They all looked in distress.
"hey guys." I wonderd what was wrong with them.
"hey Lissa" they chorused back.
"So whats up ?"
It was Booth who answerd. "When were you going to tell us that you applied for the BAU team in Quantico ? I mean I got a call from the director this morning says I should be so proud of you, that you got accepted for the BAU in Quantico. And I had no idea what he was talking about."
By now I was shifting my gaze uneasely from one person to another. "Well I just got the news myself this morning. I was completely surprided when I got the call from Chief Director Strauss saying I got accepted into the BAU. And I never told you guys because I never would have tought I was going to get accepted."
It was Angela who put me at ease with one of her usual Angela replies. "Well sweetie you shoud have still told us. And who in their right mind woudn't hire you. I mean you're a genious. We are all so proud of you."
By now I had made my decission. By seeing all my friends and how they cared about me, made me realise I couldn't just leave it all behind. "Thanks you guys but it doesn't matter. I'm not going."
"oh yes you are." I looked at Cam and saw she just put her stern boss face up.
"no I'm not. I can't just leave all I have here behind."
"Lissa we'll miss you to" said Hodgins "but you can't let this chance go by. And after all we're just one phonecall away."
"Yes Lissa" I heard Zack's soft voice. "it would be totally inlogical to let you throw away a chance like this."
Then it was Tempe's time to say something. "yes and we're stopping you from making the mistake of throwing this chance away."
"But guys…"
"No buts Lissa" came Booths stern reply "take your phone and call Chief Director Strauss, and tell her that you will accept her offer."
I knew I was not gonna be able to reason my way out of this. So I took my phone and called Chief Director Strauss.
" hello this is Chief Director Strauss"
"hello Director Strauss this is special agent Lissa Conners. I'm calling for that offer you made me this morning. I would gladly accept."
"Well this reply comes a little faster than I expected but I'm happy you're accepting."
"When should I be starting ?"
"Is two week enough yo get you affairs in DC in order and to come to Quantico ?"
"yes that should be enough."
"Good that's setteld. I will see you in 2 weeks than agent Van Lindt."
"Until then Director Strauss."
When I got off the phone they were all looking at me expectingly. So I decided to save them the efford of asking and just to answer the unspoking question.
"I got 2 weeks to get my affairs here in DC in order and to settel in, in Virginia. I have an appointment with Director Strauss in 2 weeks."
"Congradgulations" they chorused at me.
"thanks you guys. But if you will excuse me I've got an appointment with the chief I'll see you guys later."
So I hope you enjoyed this second chapter of my story. R&R.
Yours sinistery,
Lissa
