Camping Trip

"What's wrong, Myles?" Lucy inquired sweetly, barely containing her grin. The irritating blond Agent was slumped in his chair, looking absolutely miserable. It wasn't all that unusual, mind you, but he had been that way all morning.

"Well," Myles sighed dramatically, "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we're going camping."

Lucy's eyes widened. "What?"

"Really?" Bobby jumped up excitedly.

Jack eyed him warily. "Very funny, Myles."

Tara nudged Sue. "Apparently we're going camping," she informed her friend in ASL.

In answer, Sue shot a glance at Myles. "Camping?"

"Yes, camping." Ted Garrett's booming voice came from the doorway.

Six heads- well, five heads (Tara tapped Sue's shoulder) - snapped around to look at him.

Garrett smirked at them. "Would you like me to simplify the concept?"

"Okay, okay, we know," Bobby inserted, before Myles could open his mouth.

"What is it all about?" Sue asked, trying to make some sense of the situation.

"You all have info papers in your mailboxes; I suggest you consult those," Garrett replied with a huff.

"What about D?" Jack questioned the man.

Garrett shrugged. "He's not sure."

"Oh, great," Myles remarked sarcastically.

"Chill out, mate." Bobby refrained from hitting him instead. "If you don't want to go, don't."

"Unfortunately," Garrett added, though his tone clearly implied he thought otherwise, "Attendance is mandatory. You all need the vacation."

The two men groaned in unison, and Jack, Sue, Lucy, and Tara all laughed. Garrett rolled his eyes. "You have the rest of the day off- now go."

Lucy made a face as they all watched him exit the bullpen. "That went well."

"I found it," Sue offered, pulling a sheet from her mailbox and skimming over it quickly.

"Read it," Jack suggested.

"Basically it says that the Bureau is paying for a weekend camping trip for the six of us," she told them. "All the arrangements have been made: the flight, supplies, etcetera."

"Flight?" Tara's face went pale.

"Don't worry, sheila," Bobby threw her a disarming grin. "I'll protect you."

Jack and Sue exchanged a knowing smile, while Lucy's mind whirled. This was going to be a lot of fun.

A/N: This is my first chapter story, I hope you like it! I'm tempted to say "I'll only continue if I get so and so many reviews," but that wouldn't be very nice (unless it sucks) so yeah... I'll say "please please please review," instead! -shay
