tell me what to do, Dr. Reid

When Fiona woke up again, Reid was gone.There was a note under the glass on the bedside table, and it was written in Reid's characteristic beautiful and neat round letters: "New case. I have to go. Hope to see you again soon."

She smiled, put down the note, picked up the glass and planned to go to the kitchen to get some water.But as soon as she walked out of the bedroom door, something caught her eye.

A bouquet of red roses wrapped in purple wrapping paper sits quietly in a white porcelain vase she keeps on the bar.

—Will it be Spencer?

Fiona vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

There is no signature card on the bouquet, and it looks exactly the same as the last bouquet.She immediately dialed Reid's phone number.

"Did you send me a bouquet of roses?" she asked straight to the point.

"No." Reid said in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Fiona immediately hung up the phone.Frowning, she walked quickly to the front of the cabinet and took out a small revolver from a drawer.She went to the door and checked the lock carefully, there was no sign of prying it open.She then searched the entire apartment and found nothing.Except for the extra bouquet, everything looked the same.

But she changed the door lock that afternoon, which is safer.She even wanted to install an alarm, but Eden's urgent call forced her to give up this idea temporarily.

Just as she was walking towards the parking lot, Reid called again.

"Are you all right?" he asked. "What the hell happened?"

So nothing can hide from the profilers, even over the phone they can detect something abnormal.

"Oh, nothing." Fiona said briskly, "I just picked up a bunch of flowers at the door, the same as last time."

She didn't want Reid to worry about such a small matter.Whatever the intruder's purpose, he wasn't threatening for the time being. Fiona believes that she can solve this little problem.

It was a long time after that incident.The mysterious bouquet no longer reappears, and she quickly puts the matter behind her.

Reid's vacation days are few and far between compared to Fiona's.So whenever he was free, he would fly over from Washington to meet her, and he would surprise her every time.

They see each other at least once a week.And the more they saw each other, the more Fiona felt that their time together was too short.But work forced them to temporarily separate the two places. Fiona realized they had to start thinking about it.But every time she saw Reid, she would forget her original intention—probably because they couldn't wait to have sex soon after each meeting.Most importantly, Fiona didn't want to bring up such a heavy topic to disturb the atmosphere of their rare date.There will always be opportunities later.she said to herself.

On this day, Fiona felt the GBI building in a hurry.She went straight into Eden's office.Just a few minutes ago, Eden called her and asked her to come over immediately.She originally thought that there was a new case to be dealt with, but Eden told her that she was likely to be promoted.

"Promotion?" Fiona asked in surprise.

"Yes," Eden said calmly, "Darwin is leaving. As you know, he's getting married soon. His fiancée wants him to work in a more...safe job—you know what I mean. He A formal resignation was just handed in this morning."

"He's leaving?" Fiona frowned.She suddenly understood where Darwin's anger for no reason came from.It must have been a struggle before he decided to quit the job.

"And I'm leaving here soon." Eden said with a sigh, "They're going to give me a promotion to be a department head. But I don't want my team to be disbanded. I've postponed this promotion as much as possible, But they want me to give them an answer before the end of the month. I have found someone to replace darwin, but I need someone who can replace me."

Fiona vaguely guessed what he wanted to say.

"That's you." Eden said.

"But I've only been here for a year," Fiona said.

"Yes, that's right." Eden seemed a little impatient, and he tapped the folder in front of him with the tip of his pen, "Do you want to accept this job, Agent Mars? You just need to care about this issue. As for whether you are Not the right guy - that's something I need to worry about."

"Okay." Fiona said taking a deep breath.

"What's your answer?" Eden asked.

Fiona smiled and stood up straight, "Of course I am willing to accept, sir. Thank you for your trust."

"Here is the list of candidates to succeed Darwin and you." Eden pushed the folder in front of her to her, "You can take a look first and tell me who you have your eye on."

"Okay." Fiona quickly took it, and she said in a serious tone: "I will tell you the result as soon as possible, sir."

"It's the first time you call me sir so respectfully." Eden said.He suddenly smiled, "Come on, Agent Mars."

After leaving Eden's office, Fiona hugged the folder in her arms tightly, and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.She got promoted!She immediately took out her phone, wanting to be the first to tell Reid the news.

"Why are you giggling all by yourself?" Sarah smacked her head with a rolled up paper tube and smiled, "I've heard from Darwin that Eden wants you to be the team leader."

Sarah's expression was calm, without any trace of jealousy.She obviously entered GBI earlier than Fiona, but she doesn't seem to have much interest in being promoted.

"What's that in your arms?" Sarah asked her.

"The list of candidates to replace me and Darwin," Fiona said.

"Show me quickly." Sarah said with interest, "Is there any handsome guy?"

It's a pity that there is no real handsome guy in the photo, at least Fiona thinks so.

But of course she made decisions based on looks.She researched for a whole afternoon and finally settled on two candidates.One of them, Nelson Toland, who used to work for the Drug Administration, is a white guy with blond hair and blue eyes.There was also a police officer in the Organized Crime Investigation Section of the Atlanta Police Department named Isaia Halick, a tall man of black descent.

After eden's review, they finalized the two candidates and asked them to come to work tomorrow morning.

After finishing this task, Fiona suddenly remembered that she hadn't checked her inbox yet.Sure enough, there was an unread message from reid.

"Congratulations!" he wrote.

Just such a short sentence.Presumably he's getting caught up in the case, Fiona guessed.

The next morning, they were met by two new agents.After learning that Fiona will be the leader of their group, toland had no special reaction, but isiahalick was particularly shocked.

"Really?" He laughed. "It's the first time I've worked under a female chief."

"Do you have any objections?" Sarah glared at him disapprovingly, looking more sensitive than Fiona.

"No." Alick said quickly, "Girls, don't look at me like that, I'm not sexist."

Everyone laughed.

The first case that the newly formed Mars team received took place in an old house on the outskirts of Athens.

That old house looked like something out of a classic American horror movie.The deceased was the current male owner of the old house. He and his wife had only moved here a few months ago.He was pushed down from the third floor and broke his neck on the spot.According to local rumors about the old house, the first owner of the house fell to his death from upstairs.

But in the end, it turned out that this incident had nothing to do with the supernatural event. It was the lawyer of their family who killed the male host, and he was also the object of his wife's affair.This case is just a typical murder of jealousy.

In this case, Eden didn't intervene much, he has been letting Fiona dominate the overall situation.In the end they successfully solved the case, and everything seemed to be going well-except that Alick was almost scared by the rumor.He even bought an amulet and secretly carried it on him, only to be laughed at by Sarah.

After the case was over, Eden decided to accept the promotion and officially handed over the rights of team leader to Fiona.

"This office will be yours from now on." He shook Fiona's hand and said with a smile, "Don't be so sad. We will meet often in the future, Agent Mars."

"Of course." Fiona replied with a smile.

The next day, Fiona stopped in front of the office for a while.Her eyes were fixed on the name sign at the door, which had now changed from Eden's name to hers - Fionamars.

She couldn't help showing a smile, then opened the door and walked in.

She sat in the comfy armchair and spun around to survey her new office.

oh!It's been a long time since she last had her own office.She looked at the empty office contentedly, wondering whether to add a little decoration to the office.Wouldn't she look too serious if she had a james blunt poster on the wall?She finally decided to put a few photos in a neat manner, and stuff some books into the bookcase in the corner.

At this time, the outside phone in front of her suddenly rang.

"Detective Eden?" A strange voice came from the receiver, "I'm Tedd Walton from the St. Simmons Police Department, remember me, old man?"

"Sorry, Agent Eden isn't here. I'm the new team leader, Fionamars." Fiona said calmly.

"Oh." Suddenly there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Fiona reminded.

"We have a case here that needs your assistance." Walton replied, but his tone sounded less urgent than before.

Fiona understands that the other party probably lacks trust in her, perhaps because she is a woman.

It sounded like he had a friendship with Agent Eden, but since he didn't know that Eden had been promoted, it meant that they weren't very close friends.

Fiona told him in as serious a tone as possible, asking him to send over the case files and apply for assistance through the formal procedures.

Walton asked about Agent Eden's situation, and then he hung up the phone a little rudely.A few minutes later, Eden himself made an intercom call and let Fiona's team take over the case.

"This case is a bit tricky," he said, "but I trust your abilities."
