Disclaimer: Usual disclaimers, I do not own any CM characters, I'm just borrowing them and will return them in the same condition as I found them.
Storyline Rules: There will be het smut, there may be violence, mention of drugs and sex crimes -- this is Criminal Minds. There may be mild sideline slash, but it will not involve any CM characters. All CM characters will remain true to character as I see them. All pairings will be introduced as they could naturally occur. This may be fantasy, but I will try my best to make sure anything presented as fact is accurate.
THE REQUEST
Reid watched as the unsub was led from the interrogation room. Gideon had gotten a full confession from him and he wouldn't see the light of day for a long time, maybe, hopefully, never. It was Friday afternoon, the case was over and it was time for the team to head home, but they were in Nevada, only a half hour's drive from Vegas and it had been on his mind since they'd arrived.
He walked over to Gideon as he left the interrogation room, "It's Friday," he started. Gideon looked at him oddly, not the way Reid usually started a conversation. "I was wondering if you'd mind if I stayed behind for the weekend? I'll get you my reports before you leave, but I'd kind of like to head over to Vegas."
Morgan walked up behind Reid, overhearing, joked, "planning to hit the casinos, Reid?'
"Actually, I am, Morgan. I was planning to hit Atlantic City next month, but I'd like to see Mom, too, it's been a while."
"Let me talk to Hotch, but I don't see why not."
"So, where're we staying, Reid?"
"Huh?"
"Hey, you don't think you're spending the weekend in Vegas without me, do you?"
Gideon just laughed, "if you're both staying, you should invite JJ and Prentiss, too." He starts to walk away, "Oh, and Morgan, you started this, you're responsible for getting souvenirs for Garcia."
Reid took a moment to wonder what just happened before accepting the inevitable and starting his paperwork. He was going to need every second, after all he might be able to read faster than the rest of the team, but he didn't write or type any faster. Morgan wandered off to find the girls and issue invitations.
