Party Games

by DaWizard

The FBI is hosting an important event. Strauss is trying to make connections to some very important figures; the BAU has other plans. Rated K just to be safe. OneShot

Strauss was talking to a different section chief in the FBI. They where discussing setbacks their teams had had and which teams were the best. Strauss might have had one too many drinks because she was about to tell the man about the time she caught the BAU team playing paintball in the practice rooms when she heard it.

Someone yelling, screams.

She turned around and ran in the direction that it came from, other agents were doing the same. Drawing their guns from their belts or neatly hidden under their dresses. Some agents quickly moved celebrities out of the way, in case the situation was serious.

Strauss and the other unit chief, who she'd later learn was named Samuel Coleman, soon reached a circle of agents gathered around something. They elbowed their way through the crowd and Samuel could have sworn he heard someone say, "Damn profilers."

Strauss pursed her lips when she saw them. Her best team, Rossi, Morgan, Jareau, Prentiss, Reid, and Hotchner lying in a pile on the floor. Discarded drinks lay around them, and she walked around the circle slowly, so that she was standing in front of Hotchner. Who was lying on his stomach, at the bottom of the heap. She cleared her throat, and the profiler's eyes all flicked to hers.

Hotchner hiccupped and cleared his throat. "Se-section chief Strauss, its an honor." He slurred, and it was then that Strauss realized two things; one was that the screaming she had heard was really the laughter still echoing out of Jareau's, Prentiss, Rossi, Reid, and Morgan's throats, and the second was that Hotchner was drunk, or at least on the verge of being it. In fact, all of the agents in the dogpile seemed to be.

That night was the night that Strauss learnt that, it was a bad idea to tell the BAU to entertain themselves at a formal event, especially one with free alcohol.

It was also the night that the agents Reid, Rossi, Morgan, Jareau, Prentiss and Hotchner leant that playing 'Get down Mr. President' at FBI hosted events was not the best idea that the 'best team in the BAU' had ever had.
