Chapter 4

Seraphina's POV

I woke up the next morning with a banging hangover, I had managed to get myself drunk before Reid decided to literally push me up to my room and forced me to get into my bed. I finally managed to get to sleep but now I feel like I've been hit with a 10 kilogram concreate filled truck. Yeah, specific but that's what it feels like and I knew the rest of the team must be in bad state apart from Reid who didn't drink, which I think he will be thankful for when he sees the rest of us.

I groaned as I got out of my bed and walked to my fathers bedroom and knocked, "Go away." He groaned, I almost missed it but trained to listen for little details like that I just caught it. I did the other way round and walked into his room and opened his curtains. "Seraphina, I thought I said go away. It's 6 in the morning. Shit!" He said jumping out of his bed, but instantly regretting it after. "Ugh, It feels like a bus ran over me." He stated sitting up from his bed and I let out a chuckle before jumping onto his bed. "Get off you lazy ass, we have work." He said and I gasped.

"Excuse me!" I screamed giving us both a reason to put our hands over our ears in desperation for the ringing to go down. Never scream when you have a hangover again for obvious reasons, Fuck sake that hurt my ear drums.

"Okay, Let's get ready. And please Seraphina no more screaming." he said and I nodded as I got off his bed and walked to the door and opened it again.


"Reid!" Shouted Rossi from the balcony area where the stairs were in the BAU offices, making me glare up at him along with JJ. Our heads were still banging on from the hangovers that we had.

"Dad, Stop Shouting." I said as I rubbed my head, "Jesus," I said as I rested against the chair JJ had pulled up for me, Amber had gone with Garcia through to the bat cave and I was stuck here trying to deal with a hyper active Reid and my dad screaming.

"She's got a point Dave," Said Hotch as he passed, shaking his head out mine and my fathers pity argument. That's when Morgan came in and saw the laughable atmosphere in the room before raising an eyebrow at the whole of us. "What just we on here?" He asked, making me and JJ look back at him.

"Dave decided to shout to catch Reid's attention and Rossi 2.0 has a hangover." Said Hotch and Morgan tried not to laugh and I glared at him before hitting him right in the chest, That's when the phone rang and It instantly picked up my attention, I quietened everyone down and looked over at Anderson and he nodded saying that the tap and trace was ready.

"You sick, son of a bitch! Your incompetent Rossi, you can't do shit. You can't even find me in time before someone else get's killed." Shouted Mark and I winced back, He didn't know about my father so he obviously directed that message at me and no one else.

"What's funny is you think your smart Mark, when in reality." I was about to say when I heard police sirens near him, "I had back up on the way to were you were traced back to," I said, I heard him grumble some incoherent words before ending the call. "That's what I thought bitch," I said and My dad just laughed at me before ruffling my hair. I heard Hotch cough and I looked up at him.

"Can I talk to you in my office privately?" He asked and I nodded, my dad was looking worried but I gave him a look basically saying I would be alright, and not to worry about me. He nodded before we both headed up to Hotch's office.

After he shut his door, he turned to look at me. "I would like to offer you a place here, It would be easier for you to see your dad and Amber could stay with Garcia. But you have every right to refuse." He said and I looked over at him.

"Can you give me a couple days?" I pleaded and he nodded.

I thanked him before heading out of his office, Rossi looked at me basically saying with his eyes what happened. "I got offered a job here," I said and everyone started screeching and congratulating me. "I said to him to give me a couple days to decide whether or not I would take it." I said and they all nodded, knowing that it was going to take a lot for me to up and leave my life in Battle Creek.


2 Day's Later.

I had thought I had made up my decision, I was going to refuse but after a lot of persuading from my dad. I knew I was then going to say yes, instead of no. So I got ready to phone Hotch, when a knock on the door made me scream but I knew it was probably one of the team members, so when I looked through the peephole, I was surprised to see James standing there with a gun, So I quickly pushed away and ran upstairs and covered Amber's mouth to keep her quite.

I was going to pretend we weren't in, so he went away and in time he did. I didn't hear the cocking off his gun anymore, But I stayed up with Amber in case it was a diversion. When I felt like it was safe, I got up and grabbed my gun from the table outside of Amber's room and headed to look through the peephole again, no one was there so I grabbed my phone and phoned Hotch.

"I'm going to take you up on that offer Hotch, I accept the job." Was all I said before ending the call, not even hearing what he was going to say.
