Chapter 1 Disappointment,

For the BAU team it had been a very busy last few weeks. They had worked on two cases and were finishing up their last one. It was a Tuesday and they had just spent the last six days in Miami where they finally caught a serial killer who was murdering construction workers, cutting them into pieces and leaving them all over the city. It had been a time consuming case and a very tough one mainly because they had not have had the full cooperation of the Miami Police Force but at last it was thankfully over and they were going back home.

"God, I am so glad this case is over, I have had it with this hot and humid weather" complained Morgan as he was walking along with the rest of the team towards the plane.

"You and me Derek. Amazingly Hotch gave up on wearing suits even if it was just two days ago!" answered Rossi, smiling and looking back at Hotch who in return just frowned at him.

"At least you guys have no problem on the hair department, this weather does not help at all" added JJ as she was trying to style her hair without luck.

Just as Morgan was about to tease JJ about her beauty problems, Hotch's cell phone rang.

"Hotchner", he answered.

"Hello sir, I am sad to be the bearer of bad news for all my darlings but I just got notification from the white witch, oops! Sorry! From Strauss that you are not to come back home to Quantico but fly to Concord, New Hampshire for a case".

"Fine Garcia. Please send us all the files immediately, we will review them on the way there, and Garcia…"

"Yes sir,", darn Garcia thought, here it comes, he is going to reprimand me for the slip of the tongue, I should just tell him Emily came up with that nickname…no, I guess he would not believe that , well….

"Never mind, it is a deserving one…just, send the files" added Hotch as he hung up, with a smile just barely there.

Back at Quantico, Garcia had a big smile on her pretty face as she was thinking how his boss sometimes surprised her by having a kind of dry but none the less sense of humor. It was too bad he rarely showed his smile but at the same time, she was sure that if he did there would be flocks of female agents from other departments wondering around the BAU just to catch a glimpse of his dimples. She already got enough of them asking her about Derek Morgan and once in a while even about Reid. Well anyways, it was too bad they were not coming home, it got lonely when they were gone too long.
