Screaming in your Ear
Doctor Spencer Reid of the BAU, in Quantico, did magic tricks. That was something that was widely known to the office. Many workers, presently, had the tendancy to glance up now, when entering the bullpen, just in case they found a 'physics magic' rocket raining down on them.
Doctor Spencer Reid of the BAU, in Quantico, also told jokes. Groan-worthy, scientific, IQ-of-187 level amusing, which, Morgan was pretty sure, only Einstein would find really funny.
Reid hardly ever played pranks, though. Except for his annual 'Halloween Specials', where he'd shown up in a zombie mask and pounced on the senior agent. That startled Morgan, nothing more. He had decided to, kindly, show the kid genius the pleasures of true pranking. He thought the kid could use an improvement.
Or so he thought.
"We interrupt your regularly scheduled music selection with an important announcement: never wage a practical joke war against an MIT graduate because we have a history of going nuclear." Now that, Morgan could believe. He shot a suspicious look at Reid. "Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the dulcet sounds of me screaming in your ear" Reid spoke through his headphones gleefully, followed through with the recording of him actually shrieking into his ears. Morgan desperately hoped Reid didn't record all this in the Boise police department.
He yanked the headphones off, earning him a startled look from Prentiss. He sent a whithering look at the guilty, not-actually-sleeping genius in the seat opposite Prentiss. Seriously, kid? He could actually believe that Reid was sleeping if the corner of his mouth stopped twitching upward. "Ok kid, that was cute, but is that all you got?"
Reid's only response was to snore cheekily at him. Then, Morgan's phone rang. He checked the ID, Penelope Garcia. Perfect timing, maybe he could get the technical analyst to talk some sense into Reid. "Hey Baby Girl-..."
"AAAHHHHHHHH!" Morgan jerked the phone away from his ear with horror. Now Reid was actually snickering, still trying to pretend to be asleep.
Rossi, who had been the sole witness to the whole prank war, now jokingly waved his white handkercheif aloft and Morgan was more than tempted to snatch it from him and stomp it underfoot. He just waved his hand at the older man. "Uh, huh. All right Reid, it's on. Just know that paybacks are a bitch." he warned.
Reid just snored at him again. And damn did he look peaceful enough.
A/N: Just finished watching ep 7x4, seriously, like ten minutes ago! :P Reid... That. Was. GENIUS! XD
