Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with Criminal Minds.

Hey guys! Thanks so much for joining me. This will be a rather long adventure down the road and I will try to update as much as possible. There will be rather adult content down the line but for now, its pretty harmless. I hope you like this!

Garcia was slowly setting up her computer in what Hotch had found as a makeshift control center as he had put it.

It was one of the rare cases that they actually asked her to get out of her Office of Supreme Genius. Seventeen girls had been kidnapped, raped, and tortured before being brutally murdered and thrown off in different, random places. No matter how many clues the local police thought they had, they couldn't find anything.

Penelope was working at getting everything set up so she could finally start helping the BAU team. The team had been there for almost a week, in that nice Tennessee town, putting together an almost perfect profile on someone they thought would be easy to pin down. It was proving to be a lot more difficult than they expected.

Garcia had been on leave, taking care of a family matter that had her emotions on a slight rampage. But she knew that she had to control that to focus on her work.

As she just sat down to pull the case files up on her system, a knock was heard on the door. She looked up to see the face of Derek Morgan opening the door. The face that she had come to love so much was nothing of the normal. It was tired, bags under his eyes, worry all over his face. She couldn't control herself and stood up and walked over to him and hugged him.

A sigh escaped his lips as he wrapped his arms around her. She pulled back but all he wanted to do was pull her back in. She looked up at him.

"Hey hot stuff, you don't look so good. Are you ok?"

He could have said the same thing to her. She looked like hell. But he knew she would tell him when she was ready.

He nodded slightly. "Yeah, its been a long time since a case took this much of a toll on me. You ready to go cause we could really use that genius brain of yours."

A smile slid across his face for the first time since he got there. It felt good to smile again. He never really knew how she could do that. But he loved her for it.

Garcia nodded and sat back down at her computer. The case files slid onto her screen and she gasps.

"Woah, that's sick."

The bodies of women fill her screen as more and more crime scene photos fill her screen. She shudders but pushes her emotions down. She looks up at Morgan to see his face in utter disgust.

"What do you need me to do first, sexy?"

He smiles a little and hands her a jump drive. "This has all the surveillance footage on it. See if you could spot our missing girl from the footage. We couldn't but you always come through for me baby girl."

She smiles and immediately puts the drive into her computer. "You got it. The genius is on the case."

Morgan smiles at her and kisses the top of her forehead. "That's my girl. I've got to go meet with the rest of the team but I'll be back to check on you."

He walks out of the room and sighes, leaning against the door. He was so happy to have her here. He had a feeling that she would end up being his rock for this case.

"Hey Morgan, you're late."

Morgan opened his eyes and saw Reid in front of him. He sighed loudly.

"Yeah, I'm coming."

As he pulled himself off the door, he let his hand linger on the door, wanting to feel Penelope's warmth for just a second longer. He finally turned and walked beside Reid.

"So, when are you going to tell her?" Reid says with a slight smile.

Morgan looks at him suspiciously. "What are you talking about Reid?"

Reid smiles again. "Oh, its so obvious that you love her Morgan. At least to a profiler that is."

Morgan about chokes on the air he's breathing. He quickly pulls Reid into an empty hallway. "How the hell do you know that Reid?"

Reid laughs a little. "I didn't. But you just told me."

Morgan growls slightly but sighes. "Keep it to yourself ok? I plan to tell her. Just...lets get this case done and over with first, ok?"

Several Hours Later

Garcia pulls her glasses off her face and sighes. Even with all the technology she had access to at her fingertips, it still had taken her hours and she couldn't find anything. There was just five minutes left of the video and her hopes weren't high.

She rubbed her eyes slightly, trying to get them to focus again. Staring intently at a screen all day could sometimes wear her out. As she slipped her glasses back on, her computer pinged.

Her head shot up and her fingers were as fast as lightening. Suddenly and image froze on her screen. It was of there missing woman. She was smiling to someone who was just out of frame but you could see their right arm and shoulder. Immediately, Garcia knew it was a man. A smile broke across her face as she punched a number into her phone.

Morgan's phone began to ring and he looked at it. A slight smile slid across his lips.

"Hey baby girl, please tell me you worked some of your goddess magic for me?"

He heard her giggle on the other end. "You know it, sweet cheeks! At the last few seconds of the video, I can see our girl smiling at a man just barely off frame."

Morgan rasied an eyebrow. "A man? How are you so sure its a man."

Garcia huffed as if she was hurt. "Its woman's intuition, babe. No in all truth, I can see his right arm and shoulder. Its obviously a mans build."

He smiled gently at the phone. "That's what I love to hear. You're a goddess, Garcia."

Please leave me some feedback! Thanks and the next chapter will be out soon! Working on it as we speak!
