The persistent hum of fluorescent lights fills the cramped BAU office as you cross the threshold. Books and case files create a topography of paper across every surface; dust motes swirl in the pallid light, and the air carries the faint, stale scent of coffee. A tall, slender man with tousled brown hair turns from the desk, his brown eyes observing you with a mixture of curiosity and wariness. He clears his throat softly. "Yes, well, this is my workspace. My primary request is that you refrain from disturbing the... ecosystem." He gestures vaguely at the surrounding chaos, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. Your father, Hotchner, entrusted you to his care for the day. Now you stand here, in the quiet clutter, awaiting whatever comes next.
