"Everyone", Emily started, "I want you to meet the newest member of the BAU, Vivian Reed. "
"Hi everyone", Vi said timidly. "I'm really happy to meet you all."
"Secretary?" Garcia said, with a raised eyebrow. "We have a secretary now?" She eyed Vivian suspiciously, giving the woman an up/down look, and making Reid a bit uncomfortable and feel a bit protective of Vi.
"Yes", Emily said. "You do a lot of that work, but we need you now more in the field than we have before, and paperwork is piling up. Vivian's sole purpose…"
"Vi, everybody", Vi said, interrupting. "Vi is just fine, really."
"Vi's", Emily emphasized, "sole purpose here is to back log all the data sent to her from our files and paperwork. All the caseloads that we do, she will be in charge of maintaining only those", she looked at Garcia, "databases. The director is concerned that his best team is letting the ball drop on un-entered paperwork and feels", she looked at Garcia again, "the TA's could use a break, especially since his best one is now more of an field agent than she used to be."
Garcia blushed a little. "So am I in charge of…"
"Training her?" Emily finished. "Yes, yes you are." Emily's phone buzzed on her hip. "I'll leave the formal introductions to you guys; excuse me", she said as she stepped out of the room.
The team went around, one by one, introducing themselves and when her eyes linked up with Reid's, he blushed, but not without Rossi noticing.
"We've met", they both said together.
"Kitten, bring her with you tonight since she's not on the phone list", Rossi said, as he looked at his watch.
"Tonight?" Vi said, looking perplexed. "What's happening tonight? Not that I'm busy or anything. Probably just watch Dr. Who reruns or listening to NPR, or I might finally finish my scarf I'm knitting…" Vi rambled on a bit with the whole team looking at her in pure amusement and Reid falling deeper in like with her.
"Dinner, my place, 7pm sharp." Rossi headed out the door. "I need to leave, unless you guys want take out."
Garcia showed Vi the office next to hers, and helped her put her stuff away. Vi babbled on about the book she was currently re-reading, and Garcia couldn't help but notice a certain resemblance to her boy-wonder and smiled.
"You ready?" Garcia said, grabbing her bag. "Did you lock your office?"
"My office", Vi repeated. "Nope! I didn't! Be right back!" She scurried out of Garcia's office and almost knocked over one Luke Alvez.
He stood in the doorway and watched her for just a little while. She was breathtaking, and would be his whether she knew it or not. All he needed to do was kiss her. Just one kiss and he'd know.
"Garcia", he said, knocking on her wall, coming inside her office.
"Newbie! You gotta stop scaring me!", she punched him lightly on the arm, and he caught her hand in his as she turned.
"Ever hear of Betty Everett, Garcia?" Luke said, placing his mouth close to the nape of her neck, right by her ear.
"W-W-Who?" she stammered, her brain failing her.
"Betty Everett", he whispered. "She's a singer, and I need to test her song theory tonight. You game?"
As his fingers traced the inside of her palm and his lips came dangerously close to hers, she heard Vi's scurrying footsteps and broke away from him quickly.
"Ready Vi?" she said a bit too loudly and a bit too quickly. Luke smiled deeply and turned to leave. He looked over his shoulder.
"You game, Garcia?" he said again.
Garcia's mind was racing, trying her best to remember who Betty Everett was, and out of frustration from coming up empty, blurted out, " Fine. Whatever."
