Vacation for the Boys
I always wondered about how the guys in Criminal Minds would be like on one of those office retreats. I was in on once for school years ago and I think it's a fun idea to play on.

"Ok, I want to thank you all for coming. Welcome to Camp Packwood! Here you will spend time to learn about your coworkers on a more personal and emotional leave. This will not only help you in the field but also will help you explore your own feelings and insecurities." Morgan, Hotch, Reid, and Rossi were standing in a small crowd of men as the head counselor gave his small speech. "Dear God, a whole two weeks in the middle of nowhere" thought Rossi. "I can't believe Strauss made us come here" said Morgan. "Sorry guys but it's a requirement" stated Hotch. "Alright, now today after you guys finishing settling in, were going canoeing on the river for the rest of the day! See you guys in exactly one hour."
The cabin that was assumed to the team was small and had two bunk beds. "I call the top" yelled Reid. Rossi started to unpack on one of the beds when suddenly…
AAAHHHHHH!!!!
"WHAT" shouted the other men. A small mouse ran from under Rossi's feet and out the door. "Rossi it's just a mouse. Don't be so uptight" said Reid. "Yeah well, I hate mice, I hate this cabin, I hate this trip and I ABSOLUTLY HATE Strauss right now." The rest of the men unpacked in silence as Rossi muttered some pretty colorful words.
Everyone was waiting by the lake and putting on lifejackets. The head counselor walked up to them with a wide smile on his face. "Ok everyone has been assigned boats. There will be two people in each boat. Ok…Rossi and uh…Morgan in boat one. Hotch and Reid you in boat two." As the counselor assigned the other men to boats, the two pairs got into the boats and started to row away from shore. The road down the river for about fifteen minutes and Reid was already having trouble. "Come on Reid can't you row any faster" asked Hotch. "Sorry Hotch, I don't have much upper body strength." Suddenly their boat hit a rock and Reid was sent overboard. "Don't worry Reid I'll get you" shouted Morgan as he dived into the water. Hotch paddled towards Reid and both Morgan and him helped Reid back onto the boat. "Thanks guys". For the rest of the trip Reid was soaked to the bone.
"Achoo", Reid continued to sneeze into the tissue and he shivered in his blanket back at the cabin. "Great now Reid has a cold, what a wonderful way to start our vacation" said Rossi. "Hey I didn't ask to fall into the water. I'll feel better in the morning." Hotch walked up to Rossi, "Look I know you're not happy about being here but let's make the best of this ok, and don't take your frustration out on Reid." Rossi nodded "Fine. I'm sorry Reid. Do you need any more tissues or some water?" "No thank you but I'm tired." The men got into their beds and turned off the light.
