Chapter 3
By the time the paramedics had finished checking over Spencer the boy's current social worker had arrived.
"Mrs. Finn did you hear. I'm going to be adopted." Spencer blurted out to his social worker.
"I did hear Spencer but I need to chat with Mr. Rossi fist."
Rossi interrupted Spencer's response, "Spencer why don't you go with JJ."
Once Spencer had moved away he began, "I want to adopt Spencer. I can give him a stable loving home."
"You have a travelling job." She interjected
"A job that I am retiring from to publish. Not to mention my mother is very happy to help me take care of Spencer." He shot back
"You're not married."
"So?" he retorted, "I can still provide a stable family environment with monetary resources. Not to mention as I understand it Spencer could be going to university in a couple of years and I will be able to travel with him."
"Fine. You have to stay in Nevada for a few days until I let you know that the paperwork has gone through."
"Thank you."
He found Spencer reciting facts to JJ who was smirking.
"Leave it to you to find a little genius, Rossi."
"Technically intelligence is not quantifiable. But if you do take society's accepted form of quantifying intelligence my IQ is 187 and I am able to read and comprehend at a rate of 20,000 words per minute. As well, I have eidetic memory. However, Mrs. Finn informed that I could not be moved up in the Las Vegas School system because the state can not afford to send me to University or if I got scholarships, which I would, they could not allow me to be alone on campus."
David smiled at Spencer's little explanation of his intelligence. He truly was a little genius, and soon he would be Dave's little genius. However he couldn't believe that the social system would prevent Spencer from achieving your full potential.
"Well I will talk to the school system and whenever you are ready for University you can go and I'll go with you to shadow but not interfere. The other thing is you and I have to stay in Nevada for a few days while the paper-work goes through but then you are legally mine and we can head back to Virginia. In the meantime Hotch is sending paperwork through for my resignation from the department."
