She probably saw him as an intruder. I thought he wanted to take Morgan's place in the hearts of the agents, and she simply hated that idea.
There were some avoiding the new agent, but she should stop it. She only supported him during the presentation of the cases and then left without speaking to the newcomer. She practically locked herself inside her living room.
When she was in the rest room she would leave as soon as he arrived. He never understood that. Luke was determined to win the heart of that girl he thought was incredible. The ease of how she managed just about everything by typing on the computer. He wanted to know her entirely.
One morning flowers arrived at the BAU headquarters addressed to Penelope. No name was given. There was a card along with the flowers. "To one of the greatest goddesses of computing. Of his greatest fan." Was just written. Prentiss was happy after all after Sam Penelope had not had anyone else. Reid wanted to do a scan of the card, but Rossi stopped him in the name of privacy and romance.
Garcia remembered the last man to send her flowers at BAU. Jason Gideon. Years ago after being a total mass with her during a case, practically invading her office. It's a good thing she knew it was not him who sent it, but Hotch sent it past Gideon.
Morgan had given him some, but with him it was out of friendship.
- A fan? Garcia thought, putting the flowers on the small office table.
She went back to work. Luke arrived a few hours later to work.
- They sent flowers to Garcia. Emily spoke with Luke in the jet after the information was passed.
- Someone special? - Luke masterfully disguises his reactions.
- A fan. - Answered Emily. "And I think it's good that she's recognized."
The case yielded enough to return home two days later.
Luke stopped at a Lan House.
"She'll be so happy." Luke opened a kitten plush website. - That's perfect.
He did not make the mistake of using his own card. He paid with a card specially made to buy gifts for his new passion. Nicholas Bells was in the identity created a young nerd who was studying at Caltech and was a fan of the "Black Queen" Penelope's Hacker identity. He would be the perfect man for Luke to please her and conquer her slowly. He bought a white plush kitten and sent it with a card.
Garcia got the other day straight from the FBI.
- Another Garcia? Emily asked in surprise. "Someone wants to conquer you."
"I'm not ready for this, Emily. Penelope replied, opening the small pink wrapping.
There was another card. "To my beloved Black Queen that until night becomes day."
"He called you the Black Queen." Reid spoke after taking the card out of Penelope's hands and starting an analysis. "It's some fan obsessed by you, Penelope.
"You must be a lunatic wanting me to go back to the bad side." - Said looking at the little plush kitten. "But I must admit that his taste is very good.
"You'll keep that, will not you?" Emily asked.
"He probably spent a note on it. - Garcia said. "I can not just rule it out.
Luke came to headquarters at that hour. Garcia followed with his present to his room avoiding contact with the rookie. Luke was happy to see her smile at his gift.
"Another gift, I suppose. - Luke said.
- Second in two days. - Emily said. And this time he called her the Black Queen.
"Garcia is not a person who lives in the dark. Luke frowned. "Because he would call her the Black Queen."
"It was her code name in the Hacker world." - Answered Emily.
"Was he an evil person?" Luke asked.
"I think Hotch saw how good a person she could be and recruited her." - Emily said. "With a good threat of sending her to jail."
"She'd be a wasted talent with her in jail." Luke said trying to look less passionate and as far away as possible from suspicion.
"Yes," Emily replied.
She turned to Luke and left. Luke was happy with his plan going well. He had surprised Garcia once more.
