My name is Andi Elisabeth, and today I am a graduate. I have surprised many people by choosing the path that I have. Those who know me thought that I would never choose this, that I would choose anything but this. Those who know me best – my parents and their team and their children, my family is what they are – have always known that there was never anything for me to choose but this. It didn't take a profiler to figure that out.
A lot of people have asked me why I chose this, and I always tell them that it seems like it's practically in my blood. In a way, it is. And though I surprised many people, it was always an easy choice for me, almost as if there was no choice at all. Don't get me wrong when I say that either, I have no problems with that and I mean it in the best way possible. There really never has been any other option in my mind. This one was such a great option, such a great fit for me, that there was no reason to consider any other choice. After all, why should I?
Without a doubt, if I had grown up with just my parents and siblings around, I would be going down a much different path. I'd probably be a technological geek, another doctor, or a computer whiz or something. But I didn't have just them; I have my parents' team, too. And that is – no, they are – why I have chosen to follow in their footsteps and become an FBI agent.
I am Andi Reid, and today I am a graduate. But I am not just any graduate. Today I am a graduate from the FBI academy and I am – it is my turn to be – Special Agent Reid.
This is the EPILOGUE story of sorts for my Leah/Reid series, and, contrary to what I promised in "No One Likes Funerals," it will be a multi-chapter of drabbles about each of the kids in the series, including a lot of time-jumping, unfortunately, but hopefully it won't get confusing. Please review and make my day! Thanks!:)
