Cortese was woken up by a text message from Hotch. She rolled over in bed, unplugged her phone, and looked at it. 'Got a case, be at Quantico in thirty!' Cortese turned over in her bed, lying on Reid's chest. "Hey, we got to go to work." She got up and grabbed her clothes. "First day back and already got a case." She walked off to the bathroom.

Reid watched her walk off. "God, how did I get her?" He smiled.

Cortese came back five minutes later, pulling her wet hair into a ponytail. She saw Reid still in bed, went over to her side of the bed, grabbed a pillow, and threw it at him. "Get up!"

"Hey!" Reid pulled her into bed. "That hurt." He kissed her.

Cortese kissed him back and flipped him out of bed. "Well you're up." She smirked. "Now get dressed. I'm going to work. It'll be your arse in trouble and not mine if you arrive late. Oh and clean the lipstick off your face." She went out to the driveway and started her car.

"Hey Genevieve." JJ yawned as Cortese walked into the office; she was placing the team's iPads on the round table. "Good to see you back here."

Cortese sat at her seat and smiled at JJ. "Good to be back. That was the longest month of my life. Thank you again for coming over when you had time."

"No problem. I have a feeling you would have been bored if you didn't have company. Of course Reid was there a lot. How are you two doing?" JJ smirked, loving that Reid had found someone like Genevieve.

"We're doing well. He's so sweet." Cortese smiled.

The rest of the team came in moments later. "So the reason we called you in so early is because…" Garcia pulled up a picture of a blonde haired girl onto the screen. "…this girl's parents were murdered this morning."

"Allison?" Cortese shook her head, recognizing the girl on the screen instantly.

"You know her?" JJ asked.

"Allison Walker. I used to be her nanny. Is she not talking to a translator?" Cortese asked. "She doesn't like to talk to hearing people. Never has. She doesn't think hearing people understand what she are going through, so she rather not talk to them."

"You think you can talk to her and she'll listen?" Hotch asked. "Or do you think she won't remember you?"

"I can try." Cortese stood up along with the rest of the team and followed Hotch to where Allison was.
