Smoking Gun (Criminal Minds meets Graceland)

Chapter One

Mike walked quickly as he straightened his tie and adjusted his satchel.

"Hello Agent Hotchner it is an honor to be learning from you and your teammates..." He trailed off, practicing what he had perfected as the best introduction ever. As he did so, he caught a glimpse of his appearance in a nearby window.

"Dammit," he hissed as he quickly tried to fix his hair which was sticking on end due to his anxious hands running through it in the car earlier. Also his name tag - the only thing proving he wasn't still a trainee - was pinned haphazardly to his jacket pocket. "Come on Warren you got the highest score on the fricken test and you look like you can't even dress yourself." He muttered angrily to himself.

"Don't worry about it kid, all of the rookies have some problem their first day." Said a humorous voice from behind him.

Mike turned around quickly to see a very muscular black man standing behind him. He couldn't help but feel petrified. After all, this guy could be a director or higher up with the way he looked.

"Agent Derek Morgan." Said the man as he held out his hand. 

Mike eagerly shook it, but soon regretted it as the man, no Derek, he corrected himself, had quite the vice grip.

"Agent Warren, Mike Warren." He said trying to sound as confident as possible.

"Oh you're the kid that almost beat old Briggs out of his score!" Derek said with a laugh. "I guess we are teammates now kid."

"I was on my way to meet Agent Hotchner..." He replied anxiously, praying he wasn't sounding too much like a rookie kid.

"He's in a meeting with the rest of the team, I was on my way to the briefing now, let's go." He replied quickly as he turned heel and strode into the main offices of Quantico.

Mike couldn't help but stare around at everything. He had been here once during training, but now as an actual agent, everything seemed way more impressive. Even those working desk jobs looked like they were extremely important and powerful.

They strode finally towards a large conference room. Derek quickly pushed open the door.

"Hey everyone before we get started, this is Mike Warren the newbie agent who destroyed the test!" Derek announced as he walked into the room

Mike tried to manage his best smile, but was suddenly unnerved by the eight pairs of eyes looking back at him. The eight pairs of eyes that belonged to the FBIs best and brightest team.
