Brandon had awaken with a fresh smile the morning he was to report for his new position. He wasn't sure that he wanted it when offered but after thinking about it, he was super psyched about it. He had been to Quantico the last few days putting together his office and doing some paperwork approving agents and such. He enjoyed being supervisor of the departments, but the BAU was legendary and to be Unit Chief of one of the teams was an experience nobody should pass up.
He showered and dressed in his best suit that he owned. His boyfriend, Kaiden, of 13 amazing years had made him a delicious breakfast for that morning with eggs, sausage, hashbrowns, toast and pancakes. He ate his breakfast with Kaiden and gathered up all of his things. Kissed Kaiden goodbye and headed out the door for his newly issued burcar, a new 2012 Chevy Suburban completely decked out for FBI style. He took off and drove to work.
Upon arrival he hurried to his office to gather the things for the meeting. He was going to be introduced to entire BAU and then he had to transfer each of his own agents over. He had a list of his new team, along with all of their files and previous employment/missions/duties. He was excited to get the new team, eventhough he loved his team with the assassinations investigations. He was first in the conference room ready to begin his introductions, he could see a few agents in the Alpha bullpen on the other side of the conference room. He stood waiting for agents to fill in.

Lakhi made her way from the Parking lot to the BAU. She was to meet a Brandon King, her boss for the time being. Her office was ready and waiting for her; she had decorated it with her ficus and some traditional Sikh housewares her mother had sent her. She had a few cases ready, and as she stepped out of the elevator, she felt prepared.
She made her way to the "Beta Team" meeting room SSA Hotchner had showed her the day before, and smiled as she entered.
"Good Morning. I am SSA Lakhi Bakshi. I am the case manager. How are you today?"

SOMETIMES I FIND IT HARD • to believe there's someone else who could be • JUST AS MESSED UP AS ME
Sometimes Sandra just wondered how she got that far. She had a good job, was far away from her old home and mother and even found someone she might call girlfriend. Anyways, the last night wasn't good. The fact that there'll be some kind of team-split at work still made her nervous and she couldn't sleep, but at least there was her brother who bought some anime DVDs again.
When she arrived at the BAU, the first thing Sandra did was filling up her mug with some coffee. It was hard to stay awake after a night of watching anime together with her brother. She took the sugar container which was almost empty again and poured it into the coffee. That stuff did never taste good without tons of it. 'Just hope that Reid won't get mad as there's no more sugar for him', the young woman thought. Then, she headed to the conference room. "Good Morning... how do you do? Just to mention it, I'm Sandra. Hope we'll get along well."
Lakhi smiled at the younger woman, and held out her hand.
"Hello. I am SSA Lakhi Bakshi, the new Case Manager. It's so nice to meet you, Sandra. Please, have a seat. We're just waiting for a few more people, and then we'll get started. I hope we'll get along well, too." Lakhi took in this woman's attire, and wondered how such a young woman got job with the FBI. Then again, Lakhi had seen several young people around; a much different place than the DC Metro office.
"I have just a few cases to present, so I don't imagine it will take too long."

"Well, better few cases than no case at all... though our world might be better without all that stuff." After she sat down, Sandra took out a book and started reading. It was the best thing to do while waiting. How often did she read this book? Some years ago, the young woman stopped counting such things. Most books where just way too short. Not to mention how hard it was to find books that are actually worth reading.

"Sure. I have a MD in forensic medicine and was working as a pathologist right before this job. It was mostly finding out what caused the death of the person and such. But if that also counts as a specialty, I'm fluent in both French and German. Also trying to learn Japanese and Swedish and relatively familiar with Dutch, Cyrillic script and Hangul. Nothing special I think", Sandra answered. She was wondering if Lakhi was born in India or in the US. Her name definitely sounded Indian, so at least one of her parents must be of Indian heritage.

Brandon smiled at both of the young ladies that walked in. He spoke with a calm mid range voice, "Welcome to the new team, I'm glad to have you on as case Manager SSA Bakshi, I am assuming you know where your office is," he pointed to a door with a window next to it, down from the conference room. It had her name tag on it already. " Ms. Hilshire, it nice to have you on the team as well. Since you will be consulting both teams, Myself and Agent Hotchner have requested that you have an office as well. It will be available for you this morning, it is out in the hall in between the two bullpens. Your name is on it already to. I am waiting on some more agents to pop in here then I will begin my introductions"
"Yes, sir. Agent Hotchner showed me Friday. I have just three cases for us today, so as soon as the others arrive, I will begin the presentation." She patted her manila files, and smiled. It was going to be interesting; this kid could be no older than 26...and he was her boss. Oh, well. Better make the most of it...

"Excuse me, but did you say that I will get my own office?", Sandra answered in astonishment. Though an own office would be something nice, it seemed unbelievable. "You must be kidding."
Katherine didn’t really understand how the teams split into two, but she really wasn’t going to protest; smaller units, more people were going to be helped, and she figured if things got really bad, they could always help each other out. That was what she kept thinking as she left the Bullpen after dropping off her bag on her desk and heading to the Conference room.
After sending a text in reply to her neighbor to confirm that she’d need a ride home, she tucked the iPhone into the pocket of her khakis, knocking on the door with her knuckles softly to tell the other three members of the Beta Unit that she was there. “I was told to meet here? I’m SSA Agent Katherine Carpenter.” She gave a small, but friendly smile before stepping inside a bit more.
"Yes, please, come in, Agent Carpenter. Have a seat anywhere; have you met Agent Hilshire?! Introduce yourselves-I am just about ready to present-we have just three cases to review today, so it shouldn't be too long."
Lakhi smiled a little, smoothing her blazer and standing a little straighter.
"I don't think I've met anyone here now, to be honest."
Her smile turned to become something sheepish, moving to take a seat while she lightly rubbed at her shoulder subconsciously. "I'm sorry that I was late, I have to get a new car soon... last one was totaled in my accident." This caused her to blush and then she nodded her head.
"Excellent, and you can all call me Kat, Katherine and Carpenter is a little bit of a mouthful when we're supposed to be a working unit."

Brandon looked up from his position to see the woman walking in the door. He recognized her from the profiles. After he found a break her introductions he calmly said, "Hello, I am SSA Brandon King, just call me Brandon. I am the unit chief of Beta squad. I am sorry to hear about your car, you should have a Bucar though, if you weren't issued one you should have been. I will make a car to HR as soon as the meeting is over, they can have it delivered today, what Make and model would you like, within reason of course?"
Katherine gave another sheepish smile and a nod of her head to the man lightly before she rested into her seat a bit and thanked him. "Pleasure to meet you, Brandon. That sounds good to me, I don't need anything fancy. Just efficent, really. Chevy Silverado would be fine, dark in color."
Simple. Reliable. And if anything went wrong, she could fix it.
