Monsters Inside Me

Arrival

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world and all there ever will be to know and understand." – Albert Einstein.

My heart couldn't stop beating. The thought of leaving New York and moving to Pennsylvania was mind-wreaking. I was going to meet new agents and co-workers, but my heart couldn't bare leaving Hotch and the fellas, especially JJ and Kate. That wasn't the only thing that made my heart insecure. Hotch told me that this case I was investigating was different from all the rest. More like a life and death case, unlike normal cases. He even gave me the files to the case, but told me to open it after I got to Pennsylvania. That wasn't the only thing weird about this case, but unlike other cases, Hotch couldn't seem to bare this one. I have never seen him that nervous. I was positive that this case was gonna be different, gonna be dangerous and new. I like that, but not too much though.

"Doors to Flight AV215600, destination, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania are now open." This was it. Time to leave NY. A new chapter of my life. I grabbed my passport, bags, and boarded the airplane. I sighed as I glanced from my airplane window, surprisingly seeing Hotch and the fellas waving goodbye to me. Well, they were sorta late. Very late. At least, they came. Awww...

The airplane was lifting off the ground faster and faster, and before I knew it, I was off the ground and was heading off to Pennsylvania. I seriously couldn't wait to get there, though.

After 5 long hours, I finally arrived at Pennsylvania. I was just fine despite the fact that I got jet-lag or airplane-lag or whatever they call it. I got my luggage and headed out of the airport, trying to find a cab or taxi. I stood on the pavement and started searching for cabs, when,

"Dr. Reid?" A soft gentle voice said. I turned around and there was a girl standing behind me. Her hair was as yellow as corn. Her lips were as red as blood, in a good way. Her teeth were pearly white and were formed into a sweet shiny smile. Her eyes were in a decent shade of hazel. She looked young, probably around 19 or 20. She was beautiful. My heart started thumping. That was before I examined her chest that I saw a shiny badge with an "FBI" written on it. As soon as I knew she was "business", I quickly snapped out of my trance and replied her,

"Yeah. I'm Dr. Reid. And who might you be?"

"Oh right. I'm Jade. Jade Hunter. I'm supposed to be your assistant for these past few days until you can solve this case." She explained as she brushed her hair behind her ear. Wow, I just met her and I was falling head over heels for her. I was drooling all over her, especially when she showed off that million dollar smile of hers. 'SNAP OUT OF IT, REID!" I shook my head and gave Jade a smile back.

"So, now I'm supposed to get you to headquarters before 7 pm. Come on Doc. James is waiting for you right around the corner," she said.

"Please. Call me Reid. Or Spence. I don't really like formalities," I replied with a super tiny smirk forming in my lips. I wasn't the best at flirting, but had to take the long shot for the pretty lady.

"Alright, Reid. Come on, we've got a huge case in our hands this time," she said.

She whistled and snapped her fingers. A black sedan came towards us and the guy up front rolled his window open. "Hey, Doc. Climb in," he said. I opened the back door and gestured that Jade go in first. "Umm.. Docto- I mean Reid, you're sitting up front with James," she said.

'Great, now I feel ashamed,' I said to myself. I think I almost blushed. Wow, that's a first for me.

I climbed up front and shut the door. I couldn't even keep my eyes off her. She was like.. wow. I didn't think she was human. She was beautiful to be human. "Yo! Jade! I think Dr. Reid has a crush on you!" James said loudly. The people outside could've even heard him. I turned and saw Jade blushing, so hey I was going to cover up the fact I liked her for now, "I do not have a crush on her James. And stop with the 'Dr. Reid'. Call me Reid," I replied, while Jade back there was still blushing and smirking to herself.
