Beatrice gets on the bus with Ronan and decides to head to Quantico to visit for the day. She was excited to see where Jennifer works, and she wanted to talk to David Rossi again. She had enjoyed talking to him last night. She kind of connected with him. Plus she'd been thinking about joining the Bureau one day. She wants to find out how she could go about doing that.
Upon arriving at Quantico, Beatrice and Ronan stared at the building.
"Whoa! It's so big." Ronan stated
Beatrice nodded, "Yeah, it is. Let's just go inside."
Beatrice and Ronan walked through the front door of the building. There was a person directly inside sitting behind a desk.
"What's your business here?" The person whose name tag read: 'Christy Greer'.
"Um I'm just a visitor. My foster mother works here for the BAU." Beatrice explained "Her name is Jennifer Jareau."
Christy gave a nod. She called Jennifer to double check and then gave the two kids a visitor pass. "You can go inside. The BAU is on the sixth floor."
"Thank you." Beatrice replied as she took Ronan's hand and then headed to the elevator. She let Ronan push the button for the elevator.
Beatrice and Ronan got off the elevator on the sixth floor, they opened the big glass doors and walked into the room.
"Whoa! This is so cool." Ronan commented
Jennifer walked over to them, "What are you two doing out of school?"
"It's a long story. We'll talk later." Beatrice told the woman "Where's David Rossi?"
Jennifer pointed up the stairs, "His office is up there. His name is on the door."
"Thanks." Beatrice responds with a nod. She takes off the baby carrier, "Can you watch Rylie? She has a bottle of breastmilk in my backpack."
Jennifer takes the baby, "Uh. I have a bit of work to do, but I Penelope wouldn't mind watching her if that's okay?"
"Yeah. That's fine." Beatrice agreed. She turned to Ronan, "Roe, stay with your sister."
"Yes mom." Ronan nods and then he watched Beatrice walk away up the stairs.
Beatrice knocked on David's office door. She heard him say 'Come in', and then she opened the door to the office and stepped inside.
"Hey." David greeted "It's Bee, right?"
Beatrice gave a small smile, "Yeah. It is."
"What brings you here?" David wondered
"Um I've been thinking about joining the Bureau someday in the future and I wanted to know how I could do that?" Beatrice questioned
David gave a nod, "That's a good question. You have to get your bachelor's. It can be in anything. And then since you have to pass a physical fitness exam to get into there FBI, I would start working out if I were you." Then he asked, "Are you sure you want to join the FBI? This job isn't easy."
"Yeah, and I know it won't be easy, but I want to work for the BAU. I want to do what you guys and JJ do. I want to catch the bad guys." Beatrice explained. She would never admit it but she had grown very fond of JJ.
"That's a good reason. What made you want to do this job?" David inquired
Beatrice shrugged, "Somebody has to."
David smiled, "That's right. And for the record, I think you'll make a great profiler some day."
"Thanks." Beatrice replied. She turned her head and noticed the chess board "You play chess?"
"Yeah, I do." David informed
Beatrice looked back at David, "I want to play, but you'll have to teach me the rules. I don't remember them anymore, but I haven't played in a long time."
"Okay. Don't cry if I win." David half-teased
"I won't. I'm used to losing. I played with my dad when I was little and he never let me win. He said his dad never let him win, so he wouldn't let me win either."
David smirked, "Sounds like he was a good dad. He taught you good sportsmanship."
Beatrice nodded, "Yeah. He did. He was a great dad. A better parent than my mom. At least he stuck around."
Meanwhile in the bat cave with Penelope, Ronan and Rylie. Ronan was in awe by all the computers and the cool figurines on the desks.
"This place is so cool." Ronan told Penelope
Penelope smiled, "Thanks. I call it the bat cave."
Ronan furrowed his eyebrows, "Why do you call it that?"
"Because it's a little bit darker in here, but it's safe. It's a little bit like a bat cave." Penelope explained
"Oh okay. That makes sense." Ronan replied. Then he adds, "I think you have the coolest job in the world."
Penelope gave a smile and nods, "Yeah. I guess my job is pretty cool. What do you want to be when you grow up."
"I want to study human nature. I want to understand why people do the things they do." Ronan informed
Penelope nodded, "That's very cool. What made you decide to do that?"
Ronan shrugged, "I don't know. I entered foster care when I was one. My social worker said it's because I was found outside of a fire station. I guess I want to know why my birth parents didn't want me."
"Oh I'm sorry." Penelope apologized
"It doesn't really matter. Bee's my mama now. I met her in my first foster home. We've been inseparable ever since. She's always taken care of and protected me." Ronan stated
Penelope gave a sad smile, "Well now you have JJ. And you know, I'll be here for you too. As will the rest of the team. We'll be there for you and Bee and Rylie." She looked down at the baby sleeping in her arms.
"Okay. Thank you." Ronan responded
"No problem. This team is a family and any family of one of the members is family to everyone." Penelope explained
Ronan stared at her, "JJ called Bee, Rylie, and I family."
"She didn't have to. She talks about you guys." Penelope told him "She loves you."
Ronan smiled, "I like JJ. She's really nice. Not like our other foster parents. And Bee would never admit it, but I think likes JJ too."
"Who wouldn't like JJ?" Penelope asked
Ronan shrugged as he laughed, "I don't know."
Back with Beatrice after she finished her chess gave with David, she thanked him for playing with her even though she lost. Then she left his office and headed over to Jennifer's office. She knocked on the door and then walked in.
"JJ?" Beatrice called "Can we talk?"
Jennifer looked up from her pile of papers, "Of course. What's up, Bee?"
"It's about Roe. He got expelled from school for fighting, but it's not really his fault. He was defending himself." Beatrice explained
"What do you need me to do?" Jennifer inquired
Beatrice took a breath, "I thought I could everything on my own, but I can't. This is hard for me to admit, but I...I need help."
Jennifer nodded, "Yeah. Okay. I will help you with whatever you need. All you have to do is tell me. I will do anything for you, Ronan, and Rylie. I love you guys."
Beatrice gave a small smile and then hugged Jennifer so the woman didn't see the tears that were about to spill from the teen's eyes.
