As a new day dawned upon the B.A.U Spencer made his way in early. So early in fact, he was there before Hotch.
He knew he'd only have but so many chances to speak with Strauss. He wanted a chance to put everything out there so she'd have more time to think and hopefully help move the process along quicker.
He made his way up to her office but paused at the door and took a deep breath.
Lifting his fist he allowed the first knocks to ring out.
"It's open," she called.
He slowly opened the door and made eye contact with Strauss.
She just stared at him for a split second before going back to her paper work.
He slipped in and took a seat right in front of her desk. He crossed his hand on her desk and cleared his throat.
"I'm aware you received my email and know of the situation," he stated.
She finally looked up and sighed, "Yes I received your email... and I'm fully on your side."
He looked shocked for a few seconds before setting his mind straight.
"Really?"
"Yes. I don't agree with the way Aaron handled things regarding agent Prentiss. Therefore your impending move will be made as smoothly as possible and the rest of the team will not be involved," She stated.
Spencer could feel his heart beating a mile a minute. He was so excited. This was the first step towards his families happiness.
Strauss just sat with a soft smile watching all his conflicting emotions.
When she'd received his email he sounded almost desperate to leave the B.A.U and hurry this move along. He'd told her of all Penelopes hardships dealing with the loss.
She could only sympathize with her. She was a mother and loved her children with everything she was. The thought of losing any of them brought immense pain to her heart.
She knew right away she would do anything to help these two. When she'd heard what the team had done she was disgusted with all of them.
All she'd heard for years was how much of a family they were. No family would have let this happen.
Spencer finally spoke up, "You don't understand how much this means to us."
"I think I do Spencer," She replied, "You two deserve to be happy."
I know the chapters short but there will be a lot more soon and I really wanted to get something out there. Once again I'm really sorry. I hope you guys aren't too upset.
Lot's of Love, Cam
