"Wow you're here late" Garcia commented as she walked into the bullpen to find Morgan at his desk.
"Just finishing up" Morgan replied as he filed his case files away "I never realized how much Hotch did for the team before."
Garcia smiled "Comes with the territory."
Morgan shook his head "Well I'll just be happy to get home and hit the sack."
"Uh..." Garcia began "Would you mind helping me get something out of storage before you go?"
Morgan turned around and looked at Garcia, he smiled slightly, he was tired as hell but Garcia was his best friend. "Anything for you Baby Girl" he said "Just give me a second and I'll be right there."
"Thanks" Garcia said turning to head to the storage area when she noticed something gleaming on Morgan's desk. "Hey what's that?" she asked "I've never seen it before."
Morgan picked up the silver cross Tamara had given him and pocketed it "Penelope there is a lot of my stuff you've never seen before" he said successfully moving the conversation away from the silver cross now in his pocket.
"Wow you are a tease" Garcia said walking away and motioning him to follow.
Morgan sighed and rubbed his hand over his face, he had a guilty feeling welling up in his stomach. He knew he hadn't exactly lied to Garcia but he hadn't told her the truth either. He wished he could but the memory of her forcefully telling him he shouldn't get involved with a victim's family member was fresh in his mind. Garcia would not take it well if she knew the cross was a gift from Tamara. Not to mention that if it got out in the office that he was dating Tamara he could be fired.
...
Morgan sat at his knew desk and held the plaque that said Derek Morgan in his hands. He was feeling even guiltier now because Garcia had gone through so much trouble to put this office together for him and he couldn't even tell her about his cross.
He knew he owed Garcia; she was always helping him out and making him feel happy even on his worst days. He would have specified today as one of his worst days but now he was feeling way happier. It would be nice to have his own office.
Having a new burst of energy he picked up his cell phone and dialled Tamara's number. "Hey" he said when she picked up "Do you still want to go get that drink?"
