Rule 28: when you need help, ask.

TUESDAY 21ST JULY 13:35 DC TIME/ 8:35 HAWAII TIME
"So how have you been?" I asked spencer when we arrived in the kitchen area, it was secluded enough that we wouldn't be disturbed without looking too suspicious. I hopped up on the counter as Reid leaned against the opposite one
"Okay, do you remember Elle- Agent Greenway- when I came to the UK?" Spencer asked I'd forgotten how much he used his hands when he spoke, now I realise why Clay always said we were twins separated at birth.
"Yeah you spoke about her, she was another profiler. You were worried about her." I replied I put some money in the vending machine to my left grabbing a selection of crisps and sweets
"Yeah she left not long after, she shot a suspect. Then Agent Gideon, Do you remember him?"
"Yeah, one of your bosses." I put the food down and we both grabbed a pack of the crisps
"Yeah he left, wrote me a letter didn't tell anyone anything else."
"Someone really has it in for you spencer don't they," I said as I tore open the metallic packaging
"Well, at least I'm a godfather." Spencer smiled as he scratched the back of his neck
"Spencer!" I exclaimed unable to help the smile that crept onto my face
"Yeah JJ met this really nice guy Will and they had a baby called Henry. Garcia and I are his Godparents."
"Good for you Spence." I punched his arm jokily knowing neither of us was much of a fan of hugs
"We have a new agent called Emily Prentiss." Reid quickly changed the subject forgetting I had just met her
"Wait like ambassador Prentiss?" I asked suddenly realising why I knew the name that woman liked to boast about her FBI agent daughter but I didn't know she was in the BAU
"Yeah, Emily is her daughter. You know her already?"
"She's a pain in my ass, yeah I know her."
"So why are you in the US?" Spencer suddenly changed the subject again, conversations with him are always interesting and keep me on my toes
"I came here for a case that started with MI6 then NCIS offered me a liaison position. Do you remember my partner Officer Reeves?" I thought Reid should know about Clay
"Yeah Clayton, nice guy."
"He was killed," I said simply, he didn't need to know the made-up details of my partner's death. But I couldn't tell him he was alive, no one could know, for Clay's safety. he was going to be angry if he found out Clay wasn't dead but I couldn't risk it, I'm a really shit liar when I'm put on the spot.
"I'm sorry." He apologised, not pushing the subject
"It's okay, he's with his mum now. Speaking of mums, how's yours?"I quickly changed the subject
"She's doing better I think I still write to her every day and if we take a case in vegas I go to see her. I met my Dad too."
"Yeah, how did that go?" I remembered Spencer talking about his father before, there was a lot of hate there
"I thought he was a serial killer for a while." Spencer mused
"Spencer! Was he?" I exclaimed
"No, my mom was kind of involved and my imaginary friend from when I was a kid is less imaginary than I thought he was but no my father is not a murderer."
"That's always a good thing." I chose not to go any deeper into what Spencer said knowing with him it's a rabbit hole the two of us might never get out of.
"What do you think of your team?" He asked
"They're all really nice," I say
"What do they think of each other," Reid replied he wanted me to profile them
"Well, we have our forensic scientist Abby Shes with Garcia at the moment, she's happy and bubbly and lovely. She sees Ziva as a threat because she was Mossad and the newest before me so more untrustworthy. She trusts everyone because she sees us as family, she sees herself as the youngest, the baby who needs to be cared for. Ziva just wants to work really, she loves DiNozzo like a brother and he feels the same way. She loves Tim but whether it's brotherly or not is yet to be revealed. Gibbs is like a father to her and she is like a daughter to him. Ziva and DiNozzo are stupidly in love. It's painfully obvious but Gibbs has a rule about co-workers dating. Ziva thinks she needs to protect us because of her background, family is something she values fiercely. DiNozzo sees Tim as his brother, he likes to prank him and tease him while Gibbs is like the stable father figure he never had. Ziva obviously loves DiNozzo, but she is harder to read with others I think Tim sees her as a sister but it's not really clear Gibbs is again the stable father they never had. Gibbs sees all of them as his children, and feels a need to protect them as he couldn't protect his daughter." I explain in depth not wanting to profile the team but if I didn't Spence would,
"You've not lost the skills."
"Harder without a murder victim."
"You don't wear glasses anymore," Spence stated simply
"No they got in the way, I use contacts mostly. You wear glasses sometimes don't you?"
"Yeah, when I need them."
"It's been too long Spence." I smiled
"Yeah, it has,"
"After this is over, shall we go grab dinner? Get ourselves caught up?"
"Absolutely!"
