Daughter of the B.A.U

The Introduction

"Welcome to the B.A.U Miss Rawlins." Spoken with a smile followed by a handshake from SSA Aaron Hotchner.

"Thank you so much sir. It's an honor to be apart of this team." Words I ment from the bottom of my heart.

I have studied pretty much all my life to be apart of this team. No one knows who I am and I plan to keep it that way because I don't want to be treated different than every other new member. I spent my life in a mild version of witness protection. My last name was changed as a means of protection. My real name is Kayla Gideon. I am twenty six years old and the daughter of former (now deceased) SSA Jason Gideon. He had no idea I even existed until I was seven years old. He was working a case in my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia when he ran into my mom and she told him the truth, that they had a daughter. Shortly after the killer in the case began targeting the families of the team members and he had me and my mother placed into a type of witness protection. We were relocated closer to home base of the B.A.U where he could keep in touch and stay apart of my life. I wasn't his only child. I also had an older brother that eventually i got to meet and dad made sure that we were able to get to know each other over the years. I was a straight a student through high school and started then studying to follow in his footsteps. It was my dream to be what my dad was and now all my hard work finally paid off.

"Follow me and you can meet the rest of the team." Hotchner says as he stands and heads for the door.

I have to admit I get more nervous as we takes the steps down to where everyone else was waiting.

"Everyone this is the newest member of the team. Her name is Kayla Rawlins." He starts the introduction

Everyone starts looking up low hi's coming from some, others not saying anything at all. I guess they just aren't used to the idea of someone new coming in. Dad told me they were like that. Hard to trust new comers due to past situations.

"How old are you?" The question comes from a man that looks close to my own age. I already pretty much knew who everyone was from all the years my dad talked about them. Dad has been gone for only three years now.

"Dr Spencer Reid I presume. I'm twenty six. If my research is correct you were two years younger than me when you first joined the team. Derrick Morgan, your profile picture does you no justice, Emily Prentiss, and JJ. Its an honor to meet all of you." I slightly point to each person as I say their names.

"Wow girl does her research alright. Watch out Reid you may have some competition. Better get going before hoch decides to come after us." Morgan states laughing

I follow them to the conference room where I meet the infamous Penelope Garcia, The team tech analyst. The one person on the team I by no means plan on pissing off. She seems genuinely sweet though. Now the real work begins as Garcia starts passing out the case files.
