Prologue

Spencer Reid tapped his foot nervously as he sat in his boss's office. He had no idea why he was called into work early and the fact that none of the other people in the team were called in didn't help his anxiety.

'Hey Reid, thanks for coming in so early' Agent Aaron Hotchner said walking into his office and closing the door.

'No problem' Reid said as normally as possible as Hotch walked over and sat down behind his desk with a file in his hand.

'Sir, have I done something wrong?' Reid asked nervously and this caused Hotch to look at him in surprise.

'No, Reid. I need your opinion on something' Hotch explained and Reid noticeably relaxed.

'As you know, Gideon and I have been holding interviews this past week for Elle's replacement, but honestly we haven't found anyone we think would be a good asset to the team' Hotch explained as Reid listened

'I'm not sure how I can help?' Reid asked confused

'There is one person I want to talk to Gideon about, but… I would like your opinion on her first' Hotch explained and passed Reid a file.

Reid opened it and read it.

Name: Lilith Fallon

Age: 26

Gender: Female

Eye Colour: Grey

Hair Colour: Dark Red

Speciality: Sexual Offense Crimes

Speciality: Linguistics

'You want to hire Lilith?' Reid asked shocked

'I think she would be a valuable asset to the team, but I'm worried about if she can mentally handle what we do because of her childhood. You know her the best, do you think she is ready?' Hotch asked curiously and Reid stared at the file they had of his best friend.

'Sir, she has been training for this since I first met her in the academy. She has gone through the required therapy and passed them all. She can do it' Reid said firmly and Hotch stared at him for a moment before nodding.

'Okay, I'll run it by Gideon… don't mention this to anyone until I talk to Gideon about it, understood?' Hotch ordered and Reid nodded, standing up.

'Yes, sir' Reid said, turning and leaving the office. He couldn't help but smile at the thought of his best friend joining the BAU Team.

…..

Lilith danced around her house wearing boyleg undies and white t-shirt. She faintly heard the buzzing of her phone on the kitchen table. She muted her C.D Player and picked it.

'Hello Lilith Fallon speaking' Lilith said professionally

'Hello Lilith, this is Special Agent Aaron Hotchner from the Behavioural Analysis Unit at the FBI' Hotch introduced

'Yeah, I think I met you once at the pub when I had to pick up Reid' Lilith remembered as she tapped the table.

'Yes, I remember. I am calling to formally invite you to join our team' Hotch stated and Lilith froze.

'You mean… join the BAU?' Lilith asked shocked

'Yes' Hotch said simply

'Don't I need to have an interview or something?' Lilith asked confused

'Agent Gideon and myself have gone over your qualifications and we think you would be a great asset to our team' Hotch explained and Lilith beamed.

'Wow, Ok, um… sure! I would love to join the team' Lilith said happily

'Great, can you come in tomorrow to start the paperwork?' Hotch asked and Lilith nodded

'Sure thing, I'll see you there' Lilith said before hanging up.

Lilith put down her mobile and squealed excitedly. She picked up her phone and called her best friend.

'Lilith?' Reid asked confused that she was calling him so early in the day.

'GUESS WHAT JUST HAPPENED!' Lilith screamed into the phone.
