It was 8:00am when Jake walked into the HQ. God he hated Mondays, grumbling he walked into the kitchen for some really needed coffee.
"Good morning Jake." Monica greeted as she passed him.
"If you say so." Jake dropped in his chair groaning.
"Long night?" Monica asked with an amused look, Jake just huffed.
"Oh my god I hate Mondays." Alex walked in dragging her feet.
"You and me sister!" Jake raised his glass in salute.
"Aww come on now they're not so bad, I mean when you're not hung over." Cody said giving Jake a pointed look.
"I am not Hu-"
"Good morning, briefing in 20 please." Frank Donavan said walking up to his office. Responding with good mornings they watched him disappear.
Over the past three years the team and Donavan have become a family. Donavan has been there for them on all occasions, he was their rock and guide. When Donavan had given Armando Orive to the Bolivia army to protect them he knew just the kind of leader he is, only thing was he kept his history well hidden. For the past three years Cody was yet to hack his file, they knew he was former CIA they just didn't know what his extend of work was.
They group gathered around the table waiting on frank to come down. Ten minutes later he showed up standing in front of them.
"For the last week we have been through hell and back." No one denied that. "So I was talking yesterday with the director and asked him for at least a two week vacation. They agreed, but only if we stick together."
"What do you mean stick together?" Monica asked.
"Well seeing as though the director can't have us all scattered in case of an emergency, he has offered to send us to any place of our choice all expenses payed." Donavon smiled at the way their eyes shined.
"That's the best news we've gotten in a long ass time." Alex said jumping up and down. "When do we leave?"
"As soon as we choice a place and get everything set." Donavon took a seat waiting for their decision.
"How about Paris?" Monica purposed.
"No, I was thinking Oregon." Cody replied.
"No like, how about Hawaii?" Alex asked.
"I like that, Hawaii sounds nice." Jake said. "What do you think?"
Receiving nods from everyone Donovan stood up. "Then Hawaii it is, let me call Richard and have him set everything up." Donovan pulled his phone out.
"Hello?" Richard's deep voice came on the line.
"It's Donavon; they have come to a decision." The teamed stared at him with anticipation,
"Okay, let's have it." For some reason he had a feeling he was going to regret this.
"Hawaii." Donovan said bluntly.
"Hawaii?" well that's original.
"Yes Hawaii." Was he deaf?
"Okay, get to packing I will let you know when the tickets are payed." Richard was already getting the tickets online. "One more thing is it just you five or is any of you taking someone?"
The group shook their heads. "No just us five."
"Okay ill text you in a bit."
"Thank you." With that the line went dead.
The group stood their staring at him, frank rolled his eyes. "Go get packing." Not having to be told twice they all left to get their things ready. Is phone buzzed *your plane leaves at 8:30pm tonight* resending it to the rest, he left to get his thing ready.
BAU
JJ walked into the bullpen, tired and still half asleep. Smiling when she saw her team all gathered around Morgan's desk.
"Morning guys." JJ mumbled.
"Whoa, you look like hell." JJ glared at Morgan.
"Thank you Derek, you always know how to make a woman feel nice." She told him sarcastely.
"Sorry, Barbie did you get any sleep last night?" Garcia asked giving her a cup of coffee.
"No, will thought it would be okay to give henry sugar before his bedtime." JJ scoffed.
Will and JJ had divorced a year ago when she found him banging his partner, in her bed! He tried asking for forgiveness but JJ was not having it. Every Friday night he'd pick henry up then drop him off Sunday night. She was fighting full custody ever since henry told him that daddy's and his new wife would wrestle all the time. When she asked what he meant, he explained that it was when both took all of their clothes off. JJ didn't know what to do so she went to the only person she could, Hotch. He told her he would handle it, next weekend will showed up sporting a black eye and busted lip. When she asked what happen he said it happen on the job, she knew what happen based on Hotch's busted knuckles. Henry said that his father and new wife no longer lived together, well to bad.
"You know what we need, a vacation." Morgan said.
"Yeah good luck with this job." It was now Kates turn to scoff.
"How does Hawaii sound?" they all turned to see Hotch and Rossi walk up to them. Hotch walked over to Kate wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Hawaii?" Garcia was already getting excited.
"Yup, my treat." Rossi took out nine plane tickets.
"What about Cruz?" Reid spoked up for the first time.
"Don't worry about Cruz, I talked to him already we're on stand by for two weeks." Kate squealed wrapping her arms around his neck, knocking him into the chair.
"Seriously two weeks?" Hotch nodded earning a kiss for her.
"In case you two forgot we are still in the bullpen." Morgan reminded them. Kate pulled back giggling.
"Why are their nine tickets?" Garcia asked.
"Well seven for us, and two for jack and henry." Rossi explained.
"When do we leave?" Kate said getting off Hotch, who just sat there with a smudge look.
"At 7:00pm tonight so let's go pack and meet at my house." Rossi said over his shoulder as he walked out, quickly followed by the team.
