A/N: Next chapter everyone! Oh and read the A/N at the end! Thanks! :)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except my OC.

Takes place during episode seven season one.

For the first time in weeks it was a slow day at the office. Those were rare days really. Considering it was the FBI she worked for. Or with? She didn't really have a clue which one it was. But it didn't matter.

Not many people had screwed up their computers or needed any dirt on someone, so Evelyn had decided to run to the nearest bakery and get herself a cream roll. She had been craving one of those things for ages and since she hadn't had the time to make one herself, had opted to get one. Walking her way back from the bakery she caught sight of a familiar figure emerging from a car. Her lips pulled into a smile as she quickly walked over to the person.

"Went to get some new books did we?" She asked as soon as she was within hearing range of the person, who jumped, startled at her sudden appearance. Evelyn snorted.

"One would think that after almost two years since we've known each other, you would've gotten used to my popping up out of nowhere." Spencer shook his head.

"Not when you do it at random. Your appearances are very irregular you know." He commented, starting to walk towards the FBI building while the red head fell into step next to him. Evelyn sniffed, pushing her glasses further up her nose as she did.

"Why don't you admit that you have no idea when and where I would turn up from unlike those UnSubs of yours?" Spencer gave her an unamused look.

"They have a pattern that they repeat making it easier for us to get a location or to predict when and where they would appear, you on the other hand." He shook his head, shrugging. "Not so much." Evelyn snorted.

"Way to tell a woman she's weird Spencer." The young genius spluttered on whatever he was about to say, just as the two of them entered the bullpen.

"I didn't!" He semi-shouted. His friend only shook her head, grinning from ear to ear as she reached up to pet him on the head like a puppy.

"Its alright. I'll take it as a compliment." She said, before turning and waving to JJ as she passed by to get to her office. JJ smirked at the slightly miffed look Spencer had on his face.

"Caught you again by surprise huh?" She asked, gaining his attention. Her words held more then one meaning but Reid turned to her.

"She is unpredictable." He stated before walking over to his desk and sitting down, riffling through the bag that held his new books.

JJ sighed as she shook her head.

Oblivious the both of them.

"Hey Evelyn? Penelope?"

Both women looked up from the respective desks to see JJ standing in the doorway a small smile on her lips.

"Hotch is here." Mentor and Protege shared a grin before standing up and following after their Team's Media Liaison. Catching sight of a familiar figure standing near the elevator the three women made their way towards him. Evelyn gave a small friendly smile at the woman standing next to her superior.

"Hello Mrs. Hotchner."

Haley Hotchner smiled and waved back at the red head, before turning turning her attention to her husband who was holding their new born son. Evelyn's blue eyes turned to look at the squirming little bundle, as she stood next to Spencer.

"Congratulations." Reid said his tone monotone as per the norm. Evelyn shoved him slightly in the back to get him to move forward. He shot her a glare, which she returned with an innocent look. She knew how Reid was cautious around babies. She had no idea why though since she had never asked. But that didn't mean she couldn't get a kick out of teasing him about it every now and then.

"He's so gorgeous." JJ said, moving forward, smiling as she watched Jack squirm slightly in his father's arms.

"Thank you." Mrs Hotchner said, her eyes shining with love and pride as she looked at her son. Evelyn waved her fingers in the baby's direction.

"Hey there handsome." She cooed as the baby turned his head in her direction.

"If you find baldness and wrinkles attractive." Reid muttered, earning him a glare from his friend, as she nudged him lightly.

"Look at his little witty bitty nose." Penelope cooed, smacking Spencer on the shoulder as she did, not taking her eyes off the baby. Just then Morgan stuck his head in the space between her and Spencer's shoulder, looking at the baby as well.

"Don't you want one of these?" The blonde asked him. Morgan hummed under his breath before grinning.

"I'll stick to practicing." The small group laughed, minus Spencer who just gave a slight frown. Just then Elle appeared from behind them, smiling lightly, as she nodded at the new parents.

"Congratulations." She said.

Both parents thanked her, before Hotch spoke up, nodding towards his wife.

"She's amazing. I'm a little terrified." He admitted, although he was still smiling.

"Well, uh, we should get going." The new mother said, as Hotch agreed with her, placing his son carefully into the stroller. Evelyn waved at the baby yet again as Reid spoke up from next to her.

"Pleasure seeing you, Mrs Hotchner."

As soon as they were out of her hearing range Penelope nudged Morgan as the two of them with Evelyn and Spencer following after them, made their way towards their desk area.

"Stick to practicing huh?" She said a teasing glint in her eye. Morgan chuckled under his breath.

"I think I would prefer the product of that practice." Morgan turned to raise an eyebrow at the red head who blushed lightly, as she trained her eyes to look at her hands that were fiddling with a string of her shirt.

"I said that out loud didn't I?" She murmured sheepishly, before looking up and continuing.

"But come on think about it. You'd have a person to care and love for, for the rest of your life." Spencer snorted.

"A person who would scream, wail and constantly want your attention?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. Evelyn scowled at him, before she smirked.

"You just described the whole of the species of human beings Spence." She grinned, prompting Penelope and Morgan to laugh at her statement, and for the latter to reach forward and patting the young genius on the back.

"She's right about that Pretty Boy." He said, just as Penelope chimed in.

"So you thinking of having big family Evelyn?" The red head blushed again as all eyes were directed towards her but she nodded.

"If I meet the right guy yes." She smiled. Penelope hummed under her breath.

"I think I would go for a small family." She said, as she started to walk towards her office. Evelyn turned to Morgan, looking up at him expectantly. The man simply raised in hands.

"I don't plan that ahead Ginger." He said, earning a small pout from the young woman. He nudged the young genius standing next to him, grinning.

"Why don't you ask Pretty Boy here?" He asked laughing lightly under his breath at the surprised and sightly terrified look on his friend's face. Before either of them had the time to say something Elle called out to Reid and Morgan. The younger man very nearly ran for the conference room with a laughing Morgan behind him, walking at a leisurely pace. Evelyn smiled as well, making a mental note to ask the question again later, as she made her way to her's and Penelope's office.

Evelyn was sitting alongside Penelope going through a series of paperwork when Hotch walked into the office.

"I need you two to run a back ground check on the Crawford's financials." He said, turning the pages of the file he was holding. Evelyn immediately dropped her papers in a considerably neat stack, turning towards her computer, while Penelope started to type into her computer.

"Evelyn you look through the father. I'll look through the mother." She ordered her eyes skimming over the window that had popped up. The red head hummed in response as her own eyes skimmed over the computer screen, while Hotch dialed the number for Gideon's office phone. Putting the call on speaker he waited patiently as the line connected. The line clicked as Gideon accepted the call.

"Gideon, we've been looking into the Crawford financials." Hotch began getting right to the point as per the norm.

"Allison Crawford spent way more money than Chris could afford." Penelope summarized what she had read. "They were in major debt." She added as an afterthought.

"And Chris Crawford wrote a number of checks for a series of visits to a therapist." Evelyn said, offering her side of the research.

"She had 2 cell phone accounts one of them billed to a separate address in southeast Washington, D.C." Penelope quickly recounted as the number flashed on the screen in front of her.

"Did you get that?" Hotch asked, as Evelyn continued to try and find anything unusual on the father.

"Yeah! We'll go check out the address." Gideon said over the phone, the line clicked before it went dead, and Hotch all but raced out of the office.

"Not so much as a thank you." Penelope muttered, playfully earning a small smile from her partner.

"Are you planning on heading home at all?"

Evelyn looked up to see Gideon standing next to her desk. She glanced around noticing how the bullpen was almost empty save for a few agents who were packing up for the day. She frowned, as she checked her watch before her eyes widened behind her glasses.

"I didn't realize what the time was." She muttered sheepishly as she stood up pushing away the night vision goggles and heat vision camera she had been fiddling with for the past three hours. Stretching her arms over her head she heaved a sigh when the aching in her back lessened, something else she failed to notice.

"Are you just leaving?" She asked, picking up her bag and slinging it over her shoulder. Her superior shrugged.

"I was thinking of grabbing something to eat before heading back home." He motioned towards the corridor.

"Why don't you come with me? It'll give us time to talk. I haven't had the chance to have a one on one with you. I'll drop you home afterwards." He suggested. Evelyn immediately nodded.

"Sure. I can leave my car in the parking lot and tell the night guard." She grinned as she fell into step next to the Agent.

"I'll bother Spencer about picking me up for work tomorrow."

Out of the whole Team Spencer and Evelyn were the only one's who lived near each other. The both of them were only a block away from the other's home. Gideon nodded, giving a small smile as he led the way to his car.

"So how's the case going?" Evelyn asked as she took a bite of her steak, chewing it quickly.

Gideon had taken her to one of the places the two of them often frequented. The waitress would greet them both warmly and the chef would wave at them from behind the counter. It was more of a diner then a restaurant and the environment was warm and friendly/ The staff knew their regulars and the two of them would order the same thing when they came there since it was something they both enjoyed.

She hadn't realized how hungry she was until the food had been placed in front of her. After that it was a few minutes of complete silence as the two Agents started eating. Gideon nodded lightly, yet his face was grim.

"Its going alright, but we're not here to talk about the case." He said, giving her a pointed look to which she responded with a nod, pushing a piece of medium rare beef around her plate.

"I know." She mumbled, licking her lips, her free hand came up to push her glasses further up her nose before it went to play with the strand of hair hanging on the right side of her head. She didn't look up. Gideon rested his hands on the surface of the table, his gaze steady as he looked at the young woman sitting across from him.

"She didn't respond did she?" Evelyn didn't even bother asking how he had known. Her lack of response had been answer enough. Nonetheless she shook her head.

"She didn't even look at me when we both went there. She just came in caught sight of me and then left." A dejected sigh escaped her as she finally speared the piece of beef and pushed it into her mouth.

"You would think that after almost four years she would've at least said hello," She paused as she shook her head.

"Thats like asking for a miracle." The red head looked up to see the older agent nod in a sympathetic manner.

"Years of rivalry don't just go away, even after a few years Evelyn." He told her, taking a sip of the drink he had ordered with his dinner.

"But I don't even know what the rivalry is all about." She protested, leaning forward in her chair slightly as she did. Gideon nodded once again.

"I know, you don't. And whatever the reason for the cold shoulder I know its not your fault." Evelyn blinked at her superior before frowning slightly.

"How can you be so sure about that?" She asked, her voice low, as it always got when she was confused. Gideon gave a small smile.

"I only had to meet your sister once Evelyn and that was enough. I am a Profiler you know." The young woman gave a small smile as she nodded.

"And from what I have gathered from your accounts about her I would say she is simply doing all this out of jealousy." He continued. She nodded.

"I know. You've told me that before." The two of them lapsed into silence, continuing with their dinner. Evelyn's head was buzzing with thoughts and possibilities on why her sister would be jealous of her, before she felt a warm large hand pat her shoulder lightly. She looked up to see Gideon giving her a sympathetic look.

"Don't sweat it kid. We'll figure it out sooner or later." He reassured her. She smiled gratefully and nodded.

The horn sounded again, making Evelyn want nothing more then to hit her friend over the head with her bag, as she ran down the driveway of her house towards his car, pushing her glasses in place as she did.

"Are you trying to wake the dead or something?" She asked, as she slid into the passenger seat. Spencer didn't even glance at her, as he started to drive down the road.

"Waking the dead is technically impossible Evelyn." He countered, missing the eye roll his friend gave him, as he continued.

"And could you come around and check my computer when you get the time. It's got a virus or something. I don't know." He shot her a helpless look, taking his eyes off the road for a second before turning back. The red head smiled. She knew her friend was helpless when it came to technology. How he had been living his life without a cellphone or a computer till she came was a mystery to her. She had been the one to introduce him with everything she thought he might need to know. And she was the one who kept him updated on the new and improved tech that came along year after year. But there were always new things being introduced and Evelyn couldn't teach him fast enough.

"Did you try to download something again Spencer?" She asked, knowing it would be the only reason a virus could get into a system. Spencer's ears turned a bright red as he mumbled an affirmative making the red head sigh and shake her head.

"I'll come over and check it out but please don't try downloading anything again till after I say so." She chided him lightly as he turned the car into the parking lot of their office. He nodded as he parked the car.

"Yes, ma'am." He mumbled, as they both got out. Evelyn took a deep breath as she straightened the strap of her bag and the front of the button up she was wearing that day.

"Maybe I should start charging you for all the repairs I do." She called after her friend, who had already begun to walk towards the building, as she ran to catch up with him. She very nearly had to jog to keep up with his fast pace sometimes.

"And walk slow!" She whined as she fell into step next to him, not even out of breath. "I know I'm short but do you have to remind me by walking so fast with those damn long legs of yours." Spencer chuckled as he opened the door, holding it open for her, after he passed through.

"Alright. I'll match your short pace." He said, walking next to her, hands stuffed in the pockets of the pants he was wearing and smirking at her. Evelyn punched him lightly on the shoulder.

"And I'll try and meet up to your high standards." She grinned at him as the two of them entered the bullpen.

JJ glanced up from the desk just in time to see Spencer and Evelyn separate from where they had entered the bullpen together. Both of them with slight smiles on their faces. She may not be a profiler but JJ had seen the way Spencer had been the previous day. Everyone on the Team was tense about the Unsub sneaking in and murdering families. And Spencer and Evelyn were no better. She knew that they were still worried of course, but it did amaze her how even with all the chaos going around them the two of them seemed to smile whenever they were around each other. JJ hadn't been around the Team for very long but she had been around long enough to know or rather suspect that whatever Spencer and Evelyn shared was something that was on a much more deeper level.

The only problem was that neither of them realized it. Which was strange because if an outside like her could see it why couldn't they? She wasn't really surprised though, neither of them seemed to be quick when it came to normal thing and she also knew that if she ever tried bringing it up both of them would simply say that the reason behind it was that they were both socially awkward.

Although how that related to this problem was something she did not or could not get.

Shaking her head JJ made a promise to look for more signs before she confronted either of the two or both of them. That was the logical thing to do.

Penelope tapped her foot impatiently as she watched the young technician fiddle with a couple of wires.

"Its a good thing the computer fried after the information was sent out huh?" She asked, her voice slightly muffled because of the small pliers she held between her teeth since her hands were busy. Penelope huffed.

"There is no goof time for my computers to go berserker." She grumbled, clearly not happy with the little predicament she was in. Her protege quickly hid a smile as he cut a bit of naked wire before wrapping it up with tape and connecting it with the right slot. Closing the lid she patted the top before dusting her hands.

"Give it a try." She said, glancing up at her friend. Penelope wasted no time in doing just that and immediately very nearly squealed with delight when her computers started to work again.

"Evelyn. You are a life saver!" She crowed, settling into her chair, or rather throne as Evelyn called it and started to reboot her entire system. The red head smiled as she placed her pliers in her messenger bag.

"No problem. I'm just gonna go see if the others are back yet." She called over her shoulder as she exited the office, but Penelope didn't even glance up from her computers making Evelyn shake her head lightly before making her way over to her main desk in the bullpen.

Not long after Spencer had exited their office with the much needed and critical information Penelope's computers had glitched and crashed. And since no virus could get into her system it had to be a wire. And that was where Evelyn came in. While the red head worked on her computers Penelope had turned to Evelyn's computer to work the case. The Team meanwhile had finally been able to crack the case and had identified the UnSub. As she placed her bag on her desk Evelyn looked up to see JJ sitting not very far away. Grabbing two cups of coffee from the coffee machine she stood next to her friends desk, taking a sip as she did and holding out the second glass of the beverage to her friend who took it with a grateful smile.

"When do you think they will get back?" She asked. JJ shrugged and pointed in Spencer's direction.

"Ask genius over there." The words were barely out of her mouth when Reid, not even looking up from his book answered.

"They will be here within twenty minutes or so. They have been gone for quite awhile." He closed his book with a snap, as he stood up as well and walked the few paces to stand next to Evelyn who was frowning worriedly as she took another sip of her coffee.

"I just hope he didn't harm the new family." She muttered her eyes trained towards the elevator of the bullpen. JJ sighed lightly as she stood up to stand next to the red head as well, her arms crossed over her chest. She had only just opened her mouth to speak when the elevator doors opened and Morgan marched out leading a man by the collar his hands cuffed behind him. Evelyn's blue eyes, narrowed behind her glasses as she glared at the man, being led to the interrogation room.

She wasn't the only one.

The whole of the bullpen had silenced as the man walked down the length of the office, every single agent glaring at the monster being led to what he deserved. The monster, however seemed to be ill at ease.

"Hello." He called to a female agent as he walked by, earning him a shove from Morgan.

"Let's go." Morgan all but growled out, steering him towards the interrogation room. They passed by the three of them and the man nodded in their direction his eyes darting from Evelyn to JJ.

"Hey. How are you?" He inquired. Whether the comment was directed at her or JJ, Evelyn couldn't tell. She was boiling with anger on the inside and Spencer subtly and almost unconsciously stepped in front of Evelyn, blocking her from the man's view while Morgan shoved him much more harder this time.

"Keep it moving." He ordered, while blue, eyes widened behind their large glass frames as they caught sight of the freshly wrapped bandage on his arm.

Her heart was heavy as she placed nearly eight files on the conference table around which the members of the BAU Team sat. Each file was a murder case that was left unsolved and labeled as a suicide case. Each case had a family of five murdered. Hotch had been able to recover the trophies Karl Arnolds had taken whenever he murdered a family.

The father's wedding bands.

Evelyn felt her own father's wedding band grow heavier as it rested against her chest, beneath her shirt, as she stood between Gideon and Hotch as the former stared into the box before he tilted the small compartment revealing the eight families Karl Arnolds had killed just because he had lost his.

A/N: A rather sad ending to the chapter, but then again this episode was really sad too. :(

Once again thank you all so much for your reviews and favorites and follows. I wasn't really expecting a big response but I am so glad that you guys like it so far. :D And I am so glad that you guys like Evelyn. :)

Alright so a little bit of Evelyn's family is revealed in this chapter and a bit will be revealed in the next. Not telling here though. ;)

Oh and JJ is getting rather suspicious about the relationship Evelyn and Spencer seem to have. Now there is a reason that only she has noticed and none of the others have. See JJ is still new around. While the rest of the Team have been around for ages, two years almost, and they have seen Spencer and Evelyn and how they became friends. Yes they are profilers but they don't profile their own friends and what JJ thinks is just a suspicion she has. Wait till Emily comes in the picture. LOL :D

Once again thank you for reading! Review and tell me what your favorite part was. :)

Till next time - Hestia28
