(JJ's POV)
I rolled my eyes as I heard the pilot announce a delay of another ten minutes. It wasn't a long delay, but everyone was all buckled up and ready to go. I unbuckled my seat belt and bent down to pull up my bag. I set it on my lap and reached into the side pocket to grab my phone. I pulled it out and set the bag back under the seat in front of me. I sighed in some disgust as the guy at the window seat smacked his lips and started to snore again. My eyes shifted over a little and the guy sitting across the aisle and one row in front of me looked at the man in my section and then at me, gritting his teeth and raising his eyebrows. I laughed silently a little before opening my phone and pushed Hotch's contact number. He picked up after a few rings.
"Hotchner," he said in a stern voice.
"Hey Hotch. Just letting you know my flight is going to be a little late. There's a ten minute delay, but it might extend," I sighed.
"Ok. Just let me know when you land. How was your mother's?"
I laughed a little. "The same. Her excitement of when I came home and then the begging of her not wanting me to go back. But it was good, though."
Hotch laughed a little too. "Sounds great. Have a safe flight, JJ."
"Thanks, bye." I put my phone in the seat pocket in front of me and leaned my head back, closing my eyes. I heard the man in my section smack again and my eyes shot open. The man that made the face was looking over at me and I caught his glance. He nodded over to the empty seat next to him. I looked back at the snoring man and back at the other guy. I stood up and moved to the seat next to him. It wasn't a bad deal; I got to get away from the loud snorer for a few minutes and got to talk to a super cute guy. He smiled once I sat down.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Jennifer."
"Love the name," he smiled easily.
"Thanks," I blushed a little. "What's yours?"
"Malcolm Sims. Pleasure to meet you," he said, sticking out his hand. I shook it and kept the conversation going.
"Where are you from?"
"Originally, Texas," he looked down at his watch, checking the time, and then looked back up at me. "But I live in DC now. What about you? You from DC or you visiting from Cleveland?"
"I'm from DC. I was visiting my mom in Cleveland and I'm coming back home now."
"Nice. I had a business thing for work in Chicago, then one in Cleveland, and now I'm headed back to DC."
"What do you do for work?" I asked. He shifted a little bit and answered after a moment of hesitation.
"I'm a salesman for a company. What about you?"
"I'm a real estate agent," I easily lied. I wasn't supposed to reveal my job unless it was necessary and so people around wouldn't hear. He nodded, buying it.
"Maybe you could help me look at properties," he laughed a little. "I am looking to move somewhere else in DC." Even though he laughed, he seemed serious. Before I could come up with another lie, however, the captain spoke over the PA again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for waiting patiently. We are headed to the runway right now, so if you'll all please buckle back up if you have unbuckled. Thank you for choosing United." I looked over to Gabriel.
"I should probably get back to my seat," I sighed. He nodded.
"Yeah. But, can we meet when we get off the plane? I wanna get to know you a little better," Gabriel smiled. I smiled back.
"Ok," I simply said and stood up, returning to my seat. I exhaled deeply, happy that he was interested in me and I was interested in him. I felt the plane move back a little and shut my eyes, trying to get some rest again once more. This time, however, they shot open for a different reason. Not because of the obnoxious snoring next to me, but because of a clamor of screams and worried shouts. And the sound of multiple guns cocking.
