Chapter 3
FBI Headquarters – Washington DC, Wednesday 8:00 AM Maya makes her way to the Computer Lab mentally preparing for the day ahead. She was up late last night going through the case file and making sure the outfit she chose for today would be sure to catch the handsome A.D’s attention. She was careful picking out her clothes. She wanted something sexy yet still professional. She chose a dark brown pants suit with a cream blouse that was low cut in front. It allowed for just the right amount of cleavage on top. The suit fit her body nicely and she knew she looked good in it. She let her long hair flow free today. She realized as she was putting her outfit together that her intentions weren’t entirely to get the A.D. to open up to her but more to get his attention and determine if he was interested in her. It became clear to her what it was she was trying to do. She settled in and pulled out her notes for the day ahead waiting for Skinner to bring in the hard drives from the case. He glances at himself once more in the mirror before he leaves his apartment. He spent more time than usual picking out the suit he was going to where today. He went with the navy blue Armani pinstripe. He knew he always drew attention to himself when he wore this suit. But would it grab her attention. He took a deep breath and gave a small laugh closing his eyes. He couldn’t believe what he was doing. Maybe this was a mistake. He looked up at himself again. He wasn’t a teenager anymore but he was feeling like one, an awkward one. He took a deep breath and walked out the door of his apartment. As he was headed toward his car in the parking garage he passed two women heading the other way. He could see their heads turn as he walked by them. This gave him enough reassurance that the suit was the right choice, now only if it had that same effect on Maya. Skinner stopped by his office to grab his messages before heading to the lab for the day. He mumbled good morning to Kim as he passed through her front office. She gave him a double take when she looked up at him to say good morning. “You look nice today sir.” She said just before he disappeared into his office. She smiled to herself wondering if this had something to do with the very pretty woman he was overseeing these days. She had taken Maya out to lunch the day before to show her around and make her feel a little bit more comfortable during her time here. While they were eating their lunch together Maya had asked her a series of questions about the A.D., nothing that lead Kim to believe she was interested but maybe she was being coy about it she thought. She wanted to know what to expect working with him. Maya had told Kim about what Mike had told her that morning and if she had any advice as to how to stay on his good side. “Here’s what I honestly think after working for the man for 7 years.” Kim tells Maya. “Keep in mind that men are simple and I have found that Skinner is no different. He is pretty direct, don’t question him unless absolutely necessary. He doesn’t ask for much, if you can keep one step ahead of him you are good.” She looked at the closed A.D’s door and thought to herself, if any woman could get Skinners attention it would Maya. From the time she spent talking with her she could tell Maya was an extremely intelligent woman and she probably did well holding her own. These were two things that she knew Skinner could appreciate not to mention the pretty face and the hot body the woman had. Kim picked up her phone and dialed Maya’s cell number. “Good Morning this is Maya speaking” Maya answered. “Good Morning back to you, this is Kim. How are things going over there?” “Hey Kim, not too bad I guess, just settling in for the day.” “Well I was just calling to see if we were on for lunch today. I know a great Bistro just up the block.” “Sounds good. Come by when you are ready. I am going to need it. It is going to be a long day. Thanks for the invite.” “Well, the Assistant Director is here so I’m sure he will be heading over shortly. Have a good morning.” “You to Kim. Thanks.” Kim hung up and her intercom buzzed. “Yes, sir?” she answered. “Could you come in here for a moment and bring the Winslow and Bowen Case files in?” Kim entered Skinners office with the two case files setting them down on his desk and taking a seat. Skinners eyes were down signing off on a few documents and then looked up at her. “Kim, since I will be sitting with Ms. Hernandez this week I would like all of my messages forwarded to the lab. I will be setting up office in there for the time being.” “Yes, sir, that is no problem. Is there anything else?” Skinner looked down at his hands for a moment as if determining what to say next. “No, I think that is about all. Thanks Kim.” Not wanting to press him further Kim rises to leave. As she closes the door she glances back at Skinner. She sees him biting his lip and there is something else she can’t quite put her finger on. Could it be that he looks nervous? She sits down at her desk and looks at the door to his office. Something was going on with her boss and she was determined to find out if it had to do with her new friend. Maya walks around the lab taking a mental inventory of hardware available to her. She is ready to begin the tests pending Skinners arrival to the lab. The hard drives are kept locked up over night in Skinners office. Maya’s thoughts are interrupted as she hears someone enter the room. She looks back and sees a very handsome A.D. enter the room. Her mouth opens slightly as she gapes at the man. The suit he is wearing shows off his upper body letting her know that the man definitely works out. He sets down the box of hard drives at her workstation and looks around seeing her standing next to a stack of shelves. He grabs the right lens of his wire frame glasses and adjusts them on his face. “Ms. Hernandez.” He says as his greeting, his voice deep and authoritative. Her mouth suddenly feeling dry she is a loss for words. “Please call me Maya.” She says almost breathless trying to pull herself together. He nods his head. “Maya.” he says as he swallows deeply. Suddenly feeling as if just saying her name aloud he might lose all control. Maya heads over to her station and can feel her heart pulsing through her. Skinner backs away slightly as she reaches for the box of hard drives. Maya breathes in his scent. She smells his after-shave and the word that comes to her mind is ‘delicious’. Yes, she thinks to herself. He smells delicious and he looks delicious but it is time to get to work. Regretfully she sits at her station and begins working. Skinner watches as Maya heads towards him. The brown pant suit she is wearing looks amazing on her body. But the display of skin showing with the blouse she is wearing makes his throat go dry. The blouse accentuates her tan skin and comes down into a gentle curve just above her breasts. He knows if she bent down just right he would be able to see down her blouse into heaven. He steps back involuntarily as she steps closer and slides the box of hard drives in front of her. As she sits he notices that she wore her long hair down today. He suddenly has the primal urge to wrap his hand around it winding the long strands of hair around his fingers in order to pull her head back so he could look at her face. With that thought he suddenly feels ashamed as if she can sense what he is thinking. He backs away and takes his seat at the terminal next to her. Skinner never being one for small talk is at a loss of what more he could say to her. In his mind that morning he had several things he had thought of that he could begin a conversation with. Now at a loss for words he sulks into his own work. An hour passes when Maya suddenly breaks the silence between them. “Sir?” Skinner looks over at Maya staring at the screen before her. When she doesn’t continue he slides his chair over next to her. His eyes follow hers to the screen when he suddenly sees what she is seeing. On the screen was a folder with a series of thumbnails to autopsy photos from the military base. The bodies in the autopsies were not human. Maya reaches over and grabs a USB drive next to her. She goes to plug it in when Skinner grabs her hand. “Wait. Don’t take any data off the drive.” “But sir, it was just a precaution in case something happens to the rest of the hard drive while I am decoding.” Skinner takes the USB drive from her hand and sets it on the table. He covers his mouth with his hand and stares at the images thinking. “Maya, how much more of the hard drive, do think is images such as these?” “From what I can tell at this point most of the files were like this one.” She continues, “I can provide the algorithm I used if you want someone on your team to complete the decryption process.” She says searching his face. “I think that would probably be a good idea.” Maya disconnects the hard drive she had been working on and hands it to Skinner.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
