Gideon's departure cast a shadow over the entire team. When dealing with cases, Bruce was occasionally not used to the absence of a senior profiler in the team. Gideon's meticulous thinking, profound knowledge, and rich experience often brought breakthroughs to cases.
However, life had to move forward. Not long ago, they welcomed the arrival of D.
Rossi, an Italian who was one of the founders of BAU. After retirement, he wrote books and gave speeches, and his fame spread far and wide. And now, this man had returned to BAU.
"So, what do you think of him?" Bruce leaned back in his seat and looked at the people coming and going outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
At this time, Bruce and Reid were sitting in an ordinary burger shop in Washington, DC. It was the weekend, and the people on the street seemed to be more leisurely, not as hurried as usual.
"Who? Rossi？” Reid took a bite of the burger and puffed out his cheeks. His voice was a little muffled. "I've read all his books. He's a very good author. Some of the cases in his books are very unique …"
Bruce rolled his eyes slightly. "I know he's a best-selling author. I mean, what do you think of him as a person, given that he just joined us and went through the first case together?"
Reid swallowed the burger in his mouth and took a big gulp of Coke before saying, "From the last case, he seems to be more used to being alone, and a little arbitrary. But he's just been in contact with us. It'll get better in the future. I still remember when you first joined, there wasn't much interaction between you."
"When I first joined? Hey, I don't think that's my problem. It's obvious that you guys didn't talk to me. " Bruce shook the paper cup and listened to the sound of ice cubes hitting the cup. "If it wasn't for the fact that I happened to go through thick and thin with Prentiss in that case, I wouldn't have been able to survive." Indeed, at that time, Prentiss was the lubricant between him and the rest of the team.
"It's your fault for giving us such a bad impression." Reid shrugged. "And your attitude at the time was bad. You even threatened Gideon. "
"Wait, when did I threaten Gideon?" Bruce was confused.
"You used a knife to cut all those photos in half." Reid finished the burger in his hand and crumpled the wrapper into a ball. Speaking of Gideon, Reid seemed a little down.
"I didn't mean that." Bruce felt a little helpless. If he said that he was just trying to act cool at that time, would anyone believe him? "But fortunately, it's much better now."
Yes, he had finally managed to fit in with the team. Especially after Lily's case, Reid had presented a lot of data to Bruce to explain the differences between heterosexuals and homosexuals. After that, he had tactfully told Bruce that he was not a homosexual. Bruce and Reid had interacted more often and gradually became friends.
At that time, Bruce was completely confused by Reid's long speech. It was only later that he realized what Reid meant. In order to end Reid's torture of his ears, Bruce told Reid that Reid wasn't his type. Both of them were relieved.
"And you were very indifferent to the victims," Reid said.
"I can't have feelings for people I don't know or am not familiar with, including sympathy and pity." Bruce had never tried to cover up this. He shrugged. "Even if I know it's not normal, I can't do anything about it. But you are different. My feelings for people I am familiar with are no different from ordinary people. "
"You said that you had this symptom after the car accident. This may be a somatic disorder of physiological and psychological diseases. Studies have shown that biological factors are related to many functional symptoms. Endocrine and immune systems, amino acids, and neurotransmitters may play a role, but it can't be completely explained by medical science."
Bruce rolled his eyes. He didn't have any psychological disease, not even a physiological one. Really. "Do you have any plans in the afternoon?"
"You went with me to the book signing for 'Letters of Time' in the morning, so I'll listen to you in the afternoon," Reid said indifferently, poking the ice in his glass with a straw.
"I'm definitely not going to the library or museum," Bruce said angrily.
Since the two of them had become familiar with each other, the two single dogs who weren't good at dealing with women would occasionally hang out on the weekends. In the beginning, Bruce didn't refuse Reid's suggestion and followed him to the library, museum, and various academic lectures. Reid's impressive EQ never realized that Bruce wasn't interested in these places until Bruce couldn't bear it anymore.
Reid smiled awkwardly. "I said you have the final say, as long as you don't take me with you to play online games." Reid was a little speechless about Bruce's hobby.
"Are you interested in fishing?" Bruce asked. In fact, playing online games wasn't a hobby for him. It was just a way to pass the time.
"I've never fished."
"I thought that people like you would like to fish."
"What? Why do you say that? "Reid looked puzzled.
"I read a novel where there was a character with a very high IQ who liked to fish because fishing was unknown to him. He didn't know when a fish would take the bait or what kind of fish he would catch next. Everything else was too simple for him. So people with high IQ like you would probably like to fish? "Bruce teased.
"A person won't understand everything just because he or she has a high IQ. But to us, many things are clear at a glance. If fishing can really bring about the joy of the unknown, I think I'll give it a try," Reid answered seriously.
Didn't he realize that this was just a tease? He felt that his IQ had been inexplicably shown off. Bruce felt a little helpless.
"Let's go watch a movie. Star Wars Episode III has a good reception, "Bruce said.
In the end, in the movie theater, Bruce couldn't take it anymore and tweeted: How does it feel to watch a sci-fi movie with someone next to you explaining the theory of space-time relativity! He attached a picture of Dr. Reid.
Bruce found that someone replied very quickly.
