Disclaimer: I do not own criminal minds, but I thank MrsReidDiNozzo25 for allowing me to continue her story
Previously on Bad Day:
"Reid walked along the side walk listening to a song inside his head until he actually heard a voice singing it, at first he thought he was going crazy until he turned around and saw a woman singing it...
"Harper Crawford by the way," she said as they crossed the street…
"Morgan, Garcia, and JJ stood there with their mouths open as Spencer and Harper walked into the elevator grinning…
After the elevator door shut behind Spencer and Harper; Hotch decides to call Morgan, JJ, and Garcia to his office for a lecture.
"Morgan, Garcia, and JJ my office now!" called Unit Chief Hotch.
As soon as Morgan closed Hotch's office door and motioned Garcia, JJ, and Morgan to sit down he begins his lecture.
"You three should be glad that Cruz, Rossi, and I decided to play along with the prank that Reid and Harper Crawford decided to pull on you three after Reid noticed the bug you three placed on his tie. Garcia I don't believe your contract doesn't allow you to place a bug on a coworker and tracking Reid's cellphone for your own pleasure is unacceptable. Morgan, you have your own girlfriend who you could be spending time with instead of spying on Reid. JJ, you should know better about going to spy on Reid and his girlfriend while you have a husband and son at home. Yes it is true that Reid gets many job offers from the NSA, the CIA, the DoD, Think Tanks, universities, and many other places. Every time he receives a new job offer he always lets me know where the new one is from just in case he is going to be forced away like you were JJ, and he decides not to accept any of the job offers, but what you three did to him and his girlfriend last night by not respecting his personal life can be one of the reasons why he might decide to accept one of his many job offers in the future. I expect you'll learn from your mistakes and never do this again unless it's for a very serious matter"
Hotch decides to give JJ, Garcia, and Morgan a few minutes to digest what they were told so far before finishing his lecture.
"Now Garcia, you are not allowed to do your own background check on Harper Crawford to see if she is going to hurt Reid or do one if asked by Morgan or JJ and no asking Kevin either. The reason why you are forbidden to do your own personal background check on her is because Ms. Crawford is a highly respected employee at the NSA and they are always alerted when someone tries to open up her file and her boss will alert me if someone in the FBI is trying to open up her file. The NSA already approves of Reid's relationship with Harper because in the past they gave him job offers because of his abilities. And the FBI is going to have no problem about Harper's relationship with Dr. Reid.
"Hotch decides to give JJ, Garcia, and Morgan another minute to let the words sink in before giving them their punishments.
"Cruz and I decided that you three can't walk away from this lecture without a punishment. Garcia, your computer system and personal laptop will be monitored for the next six months to make sure you use your electronics for case related activities only and not to spy on coworkers. Morgan and JJ, every time we don't have a case you have to complete all your files before being allowed to go home, and that also means no secretly dropping some files in Reid's pile because Rossi or I will alert him about extra files being added and will tell him to hand them back to you. Now I am not going to hear about what you three have to say about your punishments right now because I have a son to get home to. Now out of my office and I will hear about your complaints about what your punishments tomorrow."
"Yes sir." replied Morgan, JJ, and Garcia all at once
As Morgan, JJ, and Garcia walked out of Hotch's office they were shocked at what Hotch had to say. JJ felt bad that she was wasting her off-duty time she could be spending with Will and Henry to go spy on Spence and his girlfriend. Garcia felt bad that her contract was brought up again. Morgan was shocked that Reid ended up being nuclear in his payback prank by including Rossi, Cruz, and Hotch making it look like Reid was really going to leave the BAU. Plus all three were shocked about Hotch bringing up all the job offers that Reid gets. They know he is a true genius and a lot of places would love to employ him and he still chooses the FBI's BAU department.
Morgan decided how they should apologize to Reid. "Let's all just go home and wait until tomorrow to apologize to Reid."
"I agree." replied JJ and Garcia together
