1 Introduction
Somewhere deep in the heart of Virginia there lived a 'Young' girl who tried to live as an ordinary 22 year-old girl but alas as a 22 year-old Vampire with an eidetic memory, an I.Q of 197 and 4 PHDs you can see where that gets difficult but young CJay made it look easy.
Recently CJay had finally past the final exam of the FBI academy and was on her way in to the offices of the Behaviour Analysis Unit (BAU).
CJays POV:
As I stand in the elevator on the way up to the 6th floor I can feel my heart racing, how on earth am I supposed to introduce myself to a team of profilers who will see straight through my fake confidence? Oh well, I guess now isn't the time to worry about first impressions, right?
Once the elevator stops I take a few steps through the doors then freeze, suddenly not wanting anything to do with this place, a few seconds later I take another deep breath and nod to myself trying to reassure myself that this was the best job I could do, and so with that thought I walk through the doors that lead to the bullpen area where I can see four agents sitting at their desks.
Making my way over to one of the desks where are large man sits I scratch the back of my neck and ask nervously "Hey, uhm, I'm sorry to bother you, but could you tell me where I might find Agent Prentis?". He jumps slightly but nods " yeah in the first office over there." he points at the door and I smile softly mumbling a small thank you before heading over to the office he pointed to.
I took in another deep breath before raising my hand and knocking lightly only to hear a small "come in" from the other side of the door, I push the door open and poke my head in slightly and smile " Hey, uh I'm CJay, its nice to meet you"
She smiles softly and stands, holding her hand out for a hand shake, " I'm unit chief Emily Prentis. Nice to meet you too" I look down at her hand and smile faintly " I'm sorry I don't mean to sound rude but I don't shake hands, did you know it's actually safer to kiss someone than to shake their hand?" she laughed softly and nodded " yeah I have heard that before, come with me then we have a case, you get to meet the rest of the team at the same time then" I nodded and she walked past me straight over to a room with a large window on one side of the room and a big, round table in the middle of the room, she called on the rest of the team before she walked into the room, I hurriedly start to walk after her not wanting to be left alone when I don't know anyone here yet.
Soon enough everyone was in the room with us and agent Prentis said " okay so before we get started I'd like to introduce our newest member of the team Dr. CJay Gray. CJay these are SSAs Alvez, Simmons, and Jareau, and Drs. Lewis and Reid." just as she finished her sentence a very colorful lady walked into the room saw me sitting at the table and said "ooh, who's the newbie? I'm Penelope Garcia nice to meet you" I let myself smile softly before responding quietly " I'm CJay Gray, nice to meet you too." and with that she started explaining the case, turns out there have been four murders in the last four weeks all of the victims have been found in their own homes in Florida. When agent Prentis finished explaining the case she turned to me and asked if I already had a 'Go Bag' packed which I do, in my car. she nodded and said "wheels up in thirty then", and with that we all left the room and headed to where the jet was waiting, Agent Prentis had told me where to go just before we left the building.
Once we all got on the jet I sat in the back while everybody else sat near the middle talking about the case, my mind running wild with possible profiles, I mean he's obviously not very strong if the women were killed and left in the same place, their own homes. He does however have to be confident if he breaks into the homes and expects the women not to make a noise as he murders them. All in all, I'm at a loss for the profile. I can hear everyone talking but can't decide if I should join the conversation.
Oh well, I'll join them if it means I get more info on the case. I stand slowly from my seat feeling my muscles ache from the exercise I did prior to coming in this morning, moving down the aisle of the jet I felt my knees shake slightly, I always have had an irrational fear of flying. I finally sit down beside agent Jareau and let out a soft sigh, she looks over with a curious look in her eyes but I just shake my head dismissing the curious gaze in a way to say I didn't want to mention it, she nods slightly and we turn our attention back to the discussion at hand, "if he's breaking into women's homes isn't he considered confident though?" - Alvez
"Not necessarily, sure there is an kind of confidence in breaking into their homes but he's also taking them out from behind which suggests the lack of strength needed to overpower them with out taking them by surprise, I say what he lacks in strength he makes up for in stealth"- Me
"Dr. Gray is right, if he had the confidence he would attack head on instead of from behind"- Prentis
"Please don't call me Dr. Gray, just CJay or Gray is fine"- me
" okay, sorry. Right so, CJay and Reid you two go to the M.E office, Rossi and Lewis you two go to the most recent scene, Alvez and Simmons you two go speak with the boss of the most recent victim, see what you can find out about her, JJ and I will go to the local PD and set up"- Prentis
"On a lighter note, CJay, How are you already a Dr when you don't look any older than 20?"-Simmons
I couldn't help but freeze and stare blankly for a second, for some reason I found myself suddenly feeling nervous, scratching the back of my neck I finally brought myself to respond.
"I'm 22, and I-uh- I hold 4 PHDs....so I guess that technically makes me a Dr. but I don't like the title."-Me
"you have 4?"- Reid
I nodded slowly, suddenly more nervous than when Simmons had started a conversation.
"yeah, why? is that a problem?"- me
"No no of course it's not a problem. I'm just surprised most people think that 3 at 24 is a lot but 4 at 22?"- Reid
"you have 3? damn that's cool"- me
some of the agents started to laugh while I just sit here looking confused before I turn back to Dr. Reid
"May I ask which subjects you have PHDs in?"- Me
"Uh yeah, mine are Engineering, Mathematics and chemistry, what are yours?"- Reid
" Oh uh- Forensic science, History, Mechanical engineering, and Math, I'm still in University part-time for one in psychology"- Me
" you think you need another at your age?"- Prentis
" I don't think I actually need another one no, but I want another and it may help a little considering what this job actually is, and besides that, it helps prove a point to my ma"- Me
"Why would you need to prove a point that takes 5 PHDs to prove?"- Rossi
"Well she made a comment when I was younger about the fact that having a good memory was useless in the real world... sooooo"- Me
"you got told that a good memory is useless so you got 4 PHDs? that's some dedication to making a point"- Alvez
"yeah well, not actually being able to forget anything makes it easy enough so why not?"- Me
"do you have an eidetic memory?"- Reid
I nod slowly feeling uncomfortable being the center of conversation but kind of enjoying having people to talk too.
"oh, so do I" - Reid
I turn to look at him with a vaguely surprised expression having genuinely not expecting him to be the same, even though I had obviously already noticed that he was obviously smart from the points he made earlier.
"can I ask what your I.Q is?"- Me
"187, yours?"- Reid
"197"-Me
"woah, someone smarter than Dr. Reid?"- Prentis
"You can't really say that though, because that's not strictly true"- me
" I mean it kind of is though"- Simmons
"I wouldn't say that but I guess"-me
"Hey, it might be nice having someone smarter than me around for once"- Reid
I shook my head slightly but also allow myself to smile ever so softly.
"I'm going to go back to sitting in the back for a bit"
and with that I stand from my seat and head towards the back of the jet plopping down into a seat to take a nap the rest of the plane ride , because I honestly hate planes.
