Ottillie sat at her new desk and looked around at the people sitting around her. Taking them all in. Trying to learn about them from afar. Something she has learned to do with her reputation of moving around units. No reason to get close if she wasn't going to be sticking around.
Across from her was Luke. She was glad she got to share a space with some one she knew. They had worked a case together a couple years ago. She got to know him a bit. He was single. Married to his job and a daddy of a beautiful dog.
Ottillie's eyes then went to Tara. She was a beautiful woman. Carried herself with confidence and by the lack of pictures on her desk, Ottillie guessed she was also single.
Then there was Spencer Ried. His desk was covered in books. Ottillie had heard about the boy genius from the BAU. His reputation was nothing compared to the guy. She had imagined a clean cut kid with big glasses and a pocket protector and pimples all over his face. Not the long haired handsome man she had met. He still gave off a geeky vibe, but nothing as she had imagined.
Ottillie's eyes then roamed over Matt. He was a handsome man. And by the pictures on his desk a happily married man with four beautiful children. Ottillie had to admit that his wife was a lucky woman.
Then the last team member in the bull pin was JJ. The blonde was obviously a very loyal mother and wife. There was pictures and drawings on her desk.
Ottillie wished she could see the other three members of the team. She really wasn't wanting to get to know them from a close encounter. That was a good way of getting close to the people. She had heard a lot about each member of the BAU, but the rumors didn't do any of them justice. Or they seemed to far off to believe. Ottillie just wondered if she would get the chance of finding the truth about what she had heard.
Rossi looked out the window of Emily's office, watching the new member of the team. He could tell the girl was taking in the members of the team and he smirked to himself.
"She may have finally found her place." Rossi said as Emily came to stand next to him at the window. She watched the girl for a few minutes and smirked.
"She's profiling every one." Emily said in amusement. "Probably a skill she picked up from being moved around so much. Get to know the team from a distance so not to get attached."
Rossi nodded. "I read up on the girl's file. It doesn't seem like she's a problem agent. No discrepancies. So why all the moving around. Even with her wild look, I've seen better agents look worse."
Emily sighed and went back to her desk. "I had Garcia do a bit more digging into the girl. I guess she has issues with male authority figures."
"Well, she could be a fun one." Rossi said with a smirk. "Lets me take her out on our next case. See how she handles things."
Emily smiled and shook her head. She wasn't sure if she liked the idea. But Rossi knew what he was doing. And if Ottillie could survive working with Rossi, then she could fit in with the family.

The team sat around the conference room as they waited for the newest member of the team. Emily looked down at her watch getting a bit annoyed. She had called the all the members of the team twenty minutes before. Letting them all know they where needed in the office right away.
"Let's go ahead and get started." Emily said nodding at Garcia. "We will catch Saxe up on the jet."
Garcia got to her feet and brought the newest case up on the big screen behind her. She was about to open her mouth to speak when Ottillie came stumbling into the room.
"Shit!" Ottillie growled as she caught herself from tumbling onto the floor. She got her footing and groaned as she placed a foot up on Luke's chair arm. "Why can't cure shoes come in velcro? I swear I trip over my shoelaces more than any adult should."
Ottillie quickly tied her shoe and took the empty seat between Rossi and Emily. She looked around the room and realized every one was staring at her. "Oh God, I'm late aren't I?"
Luke pointed to his hair and Ottillie's cheeks turned deep red. She had her hair in tight twists all over her head. She had been in such a rush to get into work, that she had forgotten to take her hair out. She would have been even later if she had.
"You had caught me in the middle of my night routine." Ottillie said biting her bottom lip. "I'm not used to being on call."
Emily smirked at the frazzled younger girl and tried her hardest to keep a stern sound to her voice. "Just try to get here sooner next time. Go ahead Garcia."
Garcia nodded. "I hate be the one to give you this bad news, but we have a killer terrorizing the streets of small town Bedford Iowa. An hour ago a woman was found naked and tied to a barbed wire fence two miles out of town. Last night a woman was found in the exact same way two miles in the other direction. And a week ago, the first victim was found. All three women have not been able to be identified even in such a small community."
"Some one has some serious women issues." Ottillie said as she looked over the photos. "Last year I worked a sex trafficking crime about 30 minutes from Bedford. There is a stretch of highway going through Iowa that was big in the sex trafficking ring. Could be connected or where these women are coming from."
Emily looked over at the girl in surprise. She then turned to Garcia. "Widen your search to the states surrounding Iowa. These woman had to have come some where. This unsub has escalated quickly. Wheels up in twenty."
