Reid tapped nervously on his steering wheel as he turned down another street, getting closer to his sister's house. The familiar hot Nevada sun was pouring through his window and he couldn't help but smile when he turned into the right street. From the look of the place, it was a typical friendly neighbourhood, there were a couple kids tossing a baseball in one of the front yards and some neighbours were having a Saturday barbeque in one of the backyards.

He doubled checked the address on the piece of paper Desiree had given to him then pulled up in front of one of the houses. He pushed a few strands of hair out of his face, took a deep breath then hopped out of the car and began a quick walk to the door. He paused for a moment and took another deep breath before knocking on the door which opened almost immediately.

"Hey, Spencer" Desiree greeted him with a big smile and opened the door wider for him to come inside. Reid quickly followed her inside and into a kitchen where Desiree passed him a bottle of water fresh from the fridge. "I thought you might want something cold" Desiree said with a smile as Reid took a few gulps of water.

"I always forget how hot it gets out here" Reid explained with an awkward smile.

After a small pause Desiree's smile got a little bigger. "Do you wanna meet them now?" She asked with just the smallest hint of her being nervous. Reid nodded eagerly even though his stomach was doing somersaults and Desiree smiled back at him. "Spencer! Anna!" She called up to them. "Come down here for a minute"

There was a sound of movement upstairs then thumping down the stairs as two pairs of feet ran down them. "What's wrong?" Spencer asked as he walked into the kitchen just behind his sister.

"Nothing… I just wanted you to meet your uncle" Desiree explained excitedly. "This is Spencer and Diana… Anna for short"

"Hi" Spencer said with a nervous smile as he pushed his short brown hair out of his face. "My mom told us about you last night… You're a genius, right?" Spencer said with a little smile.

Reid smiled a little and nodded. "Something like that" He said, his voice full of euphoria.

"Maybe you can help me with my math sometime" Spencer added with a smile.

"I'm Anna" The little girl interjected excitedly as she smiled up at him.

"I'm Spencer" Reid said as he bent down and offered his hand for the little girl to shake.

Anna slowly reached forward and shook his hand with a nervous giggle. "That's my brother's name!" She said with a big smile.

"Oh yeah!" Reid said, his voice full of fake surprise to make Anna smile.

"You guys can call him Uncle Spencer" Desiree offered as she smiled down at her daughter laughing at her goofy uncle.

"How come we haven't met you before?" Spencer asked as he looked quizzically at Reid.

"I only met your uncle yesterday" Desiree explained as Reid stood up and smiled. "You'll never guess what his job is" Desiree said in an excited voice she put on for the kids.

"What?" Anna asked as she bounced round excitedly at her mom's feet.

"He works for the FBI" Desiree answered with a big grin.

"Really? Do you have a badge or something?" Spencer asked, his teenage scepticism and unenthusiastic demeanour melting every moment he talked to Reid.

"Um, yeah" Reid answered as he pulled his badge out of his back pocket and passed it to Spencer.

"Kind of cool, huh?" Desiree said with a smile as Spencer excitedly ran his hand over the badge.

"I wanna see!" Anna exclaimed as she reached for the badge. "Wow!" She said as Spencer passed her the badge and she studied the picture to make sure it really was her Uncle's.

"That's so cool!" Spencer smiled as he looked up at Reid with a newfound respect. "Have you got a gun too?"

"Yeah" Reid said with a hint of pride.

"Where is it?" Anna asked as she jumped up and down excitedly.

"In my car… I could show you it, if it's alright with your mom" Reid asked and turned to Desiree with a little smile.

"Go on, then" Desiree agreed and pointed towards the door. "Be careful, though" She warned as Reid followed Spencer down the hallway and outside towards his car. Reid swung open his car door, popped the glove box and carefully took the revolver out.

"Can I hold it?" Spencer asked excitedly. As an answer Reid handed the gun over with a big smile.

"This is so cool" Spencer said as he held the heavy gun in his hand with a big grin on his face. "There aren't any bullets in it, right?"

"Are you kidding? Your mom would kill me if I let you hold a loaded gun" He answered with a little laugh. When Spencer heard that he started holding it more confidently and laughed a little.

"What you do in the FBI?" Spencer asked as he carefully handed the gun back to Reid who put it back where it had come from and locked the car.

"I'm a profiler" Reid answered as they walked back inside the house. "It means I look at what the UnSub does and work out what he'll do next" Reid explained after Spencer gave him a confused look.

"What's an UnSub?" Spencer asked as they walked into the empty kitchen.

"It stands for unknown subject… It's a general term for the suspect" Reid explained as Spencer pulled a bottle of water of the fridge and took a few sips.

"Sounds pretty cool" Desiree said as she walked into the kitchen, closely followed by Anna.

"You should come to Quantico some time… I think you'd like it" Reid said with a nervous smile.

"Anna and Spence's summer break is only a few weeks away… We could come up for a week or two" Desiree said with an even bigger smile as she smoothed out her daughter's blonde hair.

"That sounds great" Reid agreed with an excited smile.

"What do you think?" Desiree asked as she looked to Spencer and Anna.

"Awesome!" Spencer answered with a grin.

"Yeah!" Anna agreed with him and smiled widely at her mom and uncle.

Desiree smiled then turned to her brother and nodded. "Looks like it's a plan"
