Emmy sat going through the file in the corner of the plane. She had made a fool of herself on her first day and she felt completely stupid. She knew that a gender couldn't determined just yet, but still, she usually couldn't help herself when things popped into her head. They just fly right out of her mouth. She could feel everyone talking about her, feel their stares even. When she felt someone standing in front of her she looked up to see Spencer gazing down at her with his hands in his pockets.
"Can I sit with you?" Reid asked, indicating to the spot next her on the couch. Emmy felt tiny little butterflies flutter around her stomach and smiled warmly up at him.
"Of course."
"So, I just wanted to let you know that you made a really good observation about the letter." he said glancing at her and looking away, it was almost as if he were nervous.
"Hotch didn't seem to think that." She mumbled just so he could hear.
"Hotch doesn't sugar coat things. He probably thought it was a good observation too, but he rarely gives complements and he also doesn't think about offending anyone before he states something."
"I've known him for a few years now, so I know he can be a hard ass. I guess I'm just a little embarrassed with myself." Emmy looked at her lap and focused on the string on the hem of her shirt.
"Why would you be embarrassed with yourself?"
Emmy looked up at Reid and could tell he was whole heartedly interested. No one besides family had ever really paid much attention when she spoke, and sometimes they didn't even listen.
"Well, when something pops up in my head, I have a tendency to voice it whether I want to or not. It's like before my brain has a chance to process everything else and go through everything, my lips are already moving. It sort of used to get me in trouble growing up."
"Trust me when I tell you that I have that problem on occasion too."
"HA!" Morgan yelled from his seat and he stood to move over to the seat across from Reid. "Don't let Boy Genius fool you, he spouts out information like a hose spouts water."
"I do not. Just because I typically know information and voice it doesn't make it the same scenario."
"Oh, yes it does." Morgan said and then turned his attention to Emmy. "So December right? Man I didn't know Gideon had a granddaughter."
"Granddad always tried to keep home life and work life as separated as possible."
"So December where are you from?" This question was asked by J.J. who had seated herself next to Morgan.
"Uh, I lived in Kentucky till I was eight then I moved to Virginia with my mom and older brother October. We lived with Granddad for a while but mom wanted some place quite so we found a small little town not to far from him."
"You're pretty young to have graduated, I mean we already know that Reid is a genius but what about you?"
"Oh, there is no way I can be compared to Spencer." Everyone looked at each other at the fact the she called him Spencer and Reid flushed a happy shade of pink. "But when I was about seven I became engrossed with reading and learning, I graduated high school at the age of nine but I took a year off when I was ten for personal reasons and then when I picked everything back up I worked through summers and holiday breaks, until I graduated college with my Doctorial in forensic psychology and a masters in criminal justice. Then I moved onto working to be a profiler and now I'm here, pretty simple."
"So you're a genius." Prentiss stated.
"No, just love to learn and learn fast."
"How fast can you read?" this question came from Reid.
"I'm not really sure, but I can read a 600 page book in under 60 mins, remember every word and which page number it was on also. "
"Holy crap." Morgan said. "Reid she'd give you a run for your money." Reid smiled and looked at Emmy.
"What's your favorite stuff to read?" He asked her.
"Doesn't matter, but right now I'm very into reading up on Civil War time periods."
"Really? I have some great books I could let you borrow."
"Oh that would be great!"
"December," Prentiss started, "I noticed that you didn't say early that your dad moved with you to Virginia." Emmy felt the smile on her face fall. She tried to keep it in place, really she did but it slid down into a frown and she began to fidget yet again.
"He died, it's why we moved." she said looking down at her lap. "Mom couldn't handle looking at all the things that reminded her of daddy. He was a Firefighter. Roof caved in on him and three other men. None of them made it."
She felt someone take her hand and looked up to see Agent Rossi clutching her fingers.
"We all lose someone at some point in our lives. It effects us, and that's what makes us good at what we do. Your dad would be proud of where you are today. So you hold your head up when your talking about him ok?"
Emmy could do no more then nod. Seconds later they landed in Tennessee, and Emmy
was officially starting her very first case.
