Reid POV:
I had been in prison for two months, when I got a phone call by a man, who told me I could walk out of the jail. The judge had changed her mind, and now I was a free man. When I walked out of the prison door I saw the whole team and Alex waiting for me. I had prepared myself to be like I used to be; normal and happy. But when I saw the team and Alex, I started to cry. Alex was the first person to hug me, and after her I got a hug from every member of the team.
"I'm sorry." JJ said when she hugged me.
"It's fine. It's not your fault, and it wasn't that bad." I lied.
I'm sure she didn't believed me.
"How was it behind the prison bars?" Morgan asked.
"I had a toilet, and everyone could see it. It was like being in a publicly toilet." I joked.
They all know, I hate public toilets.
"Do you want to go home or do you want to go out and eat with us?" Hotch asked.
"I think I want to go with you." I said and smiled.
When we arrived at the restaurant, it started to snow. It was a small cozy place. It looked like something from 1920; just my style.
"We have a place for eight back here." said the waitress, when we came inside.
She had long blonde hair and big blue eyes. She was not that tall, maybe 20 centimeters below my height. She had a black outfit on (like everyone else who worked at the restaurant). She wore a necklace with a name on (probably hers). The name was Alexandra. It was a beautiful name, it reminded me of a princess. She did look like a princess as well.
"Do you all know what to order?" she asked.
Morgan ordered a steak, JJ ordered some chicken and the rest of the team ordered the menu of the day, which was a pasta dish.
"And what do you want?" she asked me.
"Do you have anything vegetarian?" I asked.
"Yes, we have an Indian dish with rice and curry." she said.
"Then I want that." I said and smiled at her.
I took myself staring at her butt, when she walked into the kitchen.
"Are you now a vegetarian?" Morgan asked.
"I want to try something new." I said and started a new conversation with JJ.
It wasn't true; I didn't want to try something new. But when Alexandra should write our orders down, I saw a tattoo on her wrist. It was a piece sign and some text: "Love every living soul on earth", so I guessed she was a vegetarian. And when I was at High School, there was a girl who was a vegetarian, and she said she never would date a guy, who wasn't a vegetarian, because it was her lifestyle. So from now of I was a vegetarian.
"How are you?" JJ asked.
"I'm fine. I really am. I'm out, that's all which matters." I said and looked at her.
It was the true. At least the part that it was what mattered.
"How are you?" I asked her.
"I'm ok. I have asked for help because of my PTSD, so I'm starting treatment tomorrow."
"That's good. I'm always here for you, if you need me. You know that."
"Yeah.. And I'm always here for you too. Please use it sometimes." she said.
Alexandra and another waitress came with our food. It looked very delicious.
"Bon appetite" Alexandra and the other waitress said.
When she gave me my plate, I could feel something (like paper?) under it. When I took it out, I saw it was a note with her name and phone number. I looked around at the team, but they didn't seemed like they had noticed anything.
"Thanks." I said and smiled at Alexandra who smiled back.
