Chapter 1

They just barely escaped alive. Rossi had let them out of the pressure- sensitive locked room where they would have inevitably exploded had it not been for him. They were standing outside the house owned by The Replicator. It was ablaze and according to Rossi, he had locked the unsub in another pressure-sensitive room. That was enough for the team.

They felt all the pressure that they had been carrying for the last 9 months escape. Although they were profilers, they could all see the visible signs of relief radiating from one another.

Garcia, however was still at FBI Headquarters, sitting in here office with one very clingy, Kevin Lynch. She would never say this out loud, but in all honesty, Kevin Lynch had been a very big help in cracking this case. She was still visibly nervous as she always got when her team went out on a raid.

Then she got a call from her one and only chocolate thunder. "BabyGirl, it me" relief evident in his voice.

"OH my God, Derek! I haven't heard from anyone in hours! I've been trying everyones cells but theres no answer! I've left you guys about 20 messages each! How could you just answer me now! Like honestly I was..." She was rambling and Derek knew that he would have cut in or shew wouldn't stop.

"BabyGirl, Penelope, we are all okay but we are just a little out of range at the moment. We were ensuring that the replicator died in the fire." He said calmly and reassuringly.

"The Replicator is dead? And what fire? Is everyone alright?" She was still inquiring when she was cut off again.

"Penelope, we are unsure if he died in the explosion that he rigged. We are all fine and are on our way back to Quantico as we speak, we all need rest and we can't do much now that the CSI team are there."

"Oh thank God! I don't know what I would of done if any of you died, I mean your all like family to seeming as you are technically my only family given that my brothers are the biggest assholes on the face of this earth, but whatever your all safe so I couldn't give a rats ass about them. Whoever said that blood runs thicker than water should come check on my family because all I know is that..." she was about to continue to rampage on about her mysterious brothers that no one knew about but he felt like that wasn't a conversation to have over the phone.

"Hey, Hey, Hey! What is with the sudden animosity towards your brothers?" Derek inquired wondering if she would give him insight into her childhood, still aware that he wasn't too keen on having this conversation over the phone with the team in the background.

"I don't know its just... I don't know. Can we talk about this later? I'd rather talk about you."

Curious as to what she wanted to talk to him about he started the conversation, reminding himself not to forget the other conversation. "Okay baby, sure what do you want to talk about?" Wondering if this had anything to do with having feelings for one another he eagerly pressed on "Anything you want to talk about in particular?"

"Well my darling, there actually is but I don't believe that to be appropriate for phone conversation. But we will have to have to discuss this later because my sweet, you have been kept in the dark about some intriguing information that I hope I won't chicken out about telling you."

Derek didn't know what to say but started "Well my sexy tech kitten, why don't you go to my house and let yourself in. I will be home in about twenty minutes but I presume that we have to talk."

"Okay lovey, but don't forget that it is a crime to keep a goddess waiting." She flirted.

"I wouldn't dream of it beautiful." he answered confidently then whispered "bye Garcia"

She answered back a second later with "Bye love you" The hung up abruptly. Dumbfounded, he stared at the phone as if it could give him the answers that he longed for.
