"Ok, ok, I got it. Lara Croft or that chick from Resident Evil…" Morgan supplied as he tilted back in his desk chair with a smile on his face.

"Ooo. Lara Croft, definitely." Prentiss answered quickly from her own desk in the bullpen which sat across from Morgan's.

"Really? She's so overdone. She seems like the type of person who's severely egotistic too." Reid replied without looking up from the nearly finished report in front of him. The day was nearly over, ending a slow, quiet week. The team was trying to pass the last hour of their Friday, excited to finally have a weekend off. Providing Hotch or JJ didn't suddenly drop a case on them, almost everyone was looking forward to their separate plans.

Morgan laughed, "Ok then genius, who would you pick?"

Reid shrugged aimlessly as he flipped another page on his desk. He had been half-listening to Prentiss and Morgan's conversation, but felt the need to throw his two cents in from time to time.

"Oh come on. I know you've played both games, watched both movies and probably fantasized about both of them. So enlighten us. Which one is hotter in the mind of an extremely intelligent brain machine like yourself?" Morgan demanded and Prentiss looked on expectantly at the youngest team member, trying to hold back her laughter.

"Uh…" Reid stammered, immediately regretting jumping into their conversation.

"Lara Croft is too showy. Go with the Resident Evil girl…" JJ patted Reid on the back as she walked by, having heard the last parts of the conversation. Prentiss laughed and Morgan quickly joined in as Reid frowned and dropped his eyes back to the papers in front of him, his cheeks deepening in color.

JJ only shook her head and smiled as she continued walking past the group towards the wide hallway. The day was almost over and she was looking forward to the time off. Hotch had busied himself all day behind the closed doors of his office, but JJ knew he too was excited about the weekend. He had mentioned earlier that tonight he was going to pick up his son Jack after work because it was his turn to have him for the weekend. If no urgent cases were called in, it would be the first time in months that he would have his son for two nights and two full days.

JJ briskly walked down the hallway, smiling politely at the faces she passed. Once she reached the front of the BAU, she stopped at the desk and asked the woman sitting there if there were any messages for her.

As the woman looked at her notepad, JJ waited patiently, but was startled when someone suddenly called out her name.

"JJ?" A female voice asked tentatively, making JJ spin around to see the source.

"Can I help you…?" JJ frowned instantly, not recognizing the woman in front of her who obviously knew who she was. She was a little shorter than her, with short, shaggy, yet stylish brown hair that flipped slightly on the ends. She had a large bag on her shoulder and suddenly reached for the dark sunglasses that were covering most of her face.

"JJ… It's me…" The lady said and JJ's face suddenly broke into realization as the identity of the mysterious woman came into place.

"You're telling me, you've never had a fantasy involving Princess Leia?" Prentiss asked Morgan unbelievably. "I thought that was at the top of every guy's list!"

Morgan shrugged in reply and shook his head. "I've never had any fantasy involving any Star Wars, geekified type movie. It's just not my thing. I know it's Reid's thing though…" Morgan smiled deviously as he looked at his younger colleague.

"Star TREK. It's Star TREK I like. Star Wars has too many improbabilities and scientific errors. Star Trek seems more believable." Reid mumbled from his chair. Morgan was about to pry further, but suddenly JJ came into the room and cleared her throat while dragging someone behind her.

"Uh, guys? Look what I found…" She announced and pulled the girl from behind her. She smiled cautiously and waved to the group. It took them a few minutes of confusion to finally realize who it was.

"Oh my god, Dani?!" Prentiss squealed and leapt from her chair to dash over to her and JJ, then instantly wrapped the young brunette in a tight hug.

"Dani…?" Reid looked up from his report and frowned in confusion, but soon noticed her as Prentiss stepped back.

"Hey Spencer." Dani smiled casually and walked up to him, enveloping his thin frame in a warm embrace. "How are you?"

"Uh, fine… I'm.. I'm fine, how are you? What are you doing here?" He stammered, his normally quick-wit seemed to vanish into thin air.

"I'm ok…" Dani seemed to dodge the question and quickly submitted to Morgan's older brother type hug and mess of the hair.

"What on earth happened to your hair, girl? Looks like you fell into a pit of scissors!" Morgan teased as Dani dodged his rough hands from messing up her drastically shortened locks from the last time any of the team had seen her.

"Shut up, Morgan! I like it." Prentiss swatted his hand away and smiled at Dani again, while she and the others secretly wondered what she was doing in Virginia.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

It was almost 6 o'clock and most of the people working at the BAU had left, eagerly awaiting their hopefully uninterrupted weekend. Once Agent Hotchner had pulled himself from his closed office, he noticed Dani sitting with other members from his team in the bullpen. After shaking off the initial shock he greeted her with a smile and apologized for having to leave to pick up his son, but mentioned how good it was to see her. Agent Rossi also greeted her with a warm smile and made small chit chat before having to depart the office.

Dani was telling Prentiss something, but Reid briefly blocked out the conversation as his eyes trailed to Dani. Her previously long hair was drastically shorter now and she seemed to have lost at least 15 pounds. Her already thin frame now seemed more fragile from the last time he saw her, but he wasn't too sure what to think of it.

"What are you staring at Spencer?" Dani asked suddenly in a teasing tone. Reid's eyes flew up to her face and he looked around to notice Morgan and Prentiss looking at him.

"Uh… I, well um… Your hair. It.. It just looks so different…" Reid stammered, trying to spit something out as his cheeks pinkened slightly. "Not bad different! I just mean… Um different, it's… It looks good. I like it."

Dani's smile widened as she watched Reid become flustered, but lucky for Reid Prentiss jumped in.

"I love it. It suits you a lot better, you can see your face now." She drawled and touched a small piece of Dani's dark hair.

Morgan rolled his eyes at the sudden girly talk and glanced to his left, where much to his amusement, Reid was still trying to recover as he shifted uncomfortably in his chair.

"So what are you doing here?" Prentiss curiously asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

Dani smiled cautiously, then sighed as she looked at each of the faces that were staring at her. She rustled in her large carry-on bag for a moment as the others looked on curiously. When Dani looked back up, her face was solemn and in her hands was a folded piece of paper.

"I think he found me…" She said quietly and handed the paper to Prentiss' awaiting hands. Reid frowned and watched Prentiss as she read, studying her expression. His eyes then trailed slowly to Dani, she was also watching Prentiss, but Reid couldn't tell from their faces what it was about.

"Who found you?" Reid asked and looked at Morgan questioningly.

Dani didn't answer but handed the paper to Reid with raised eyebrows after Prentiss finished reading it. She was frowning in thought as Reid skimmed over the note, then read it out loud for Morgan to hear.

"There are some qualities- some incorporate things,

That have a double life, which thus is made

A type of that twin entity which springs

From matter and light, evinced in solid and shade.

There is a two-fold Silence- sea and shore-

Body and soul. One dwells in lonely places,

Newly with grass o'ergrown; some solemn graces,

Some human memories and tearful lore,

Render him terrorless: his name's "No More."

He is the corporate Silence: dread him not!

No power hath he of evil in himself;

But should some urgent fate (untimely lot!)

Bring thee to meet his shadow (nameless elf,

That haunteth the lone regions where hath trod

No foot of man,) commend thyself to God…"

Reid looked up at the others in disbelief as he ran the words of the poem over and over in his head.

"No, it's impossible. That guy was dead," Morgan turned to Dani and looked at her with a serious face. "D, I seen the guy myself, he was burned to pieces from a car accident. He's dead."

"It doesn't seem like it…" Dani waved to the note which was still clutched in Reid's hands. "I got it last week… I didn't know what to think, so I just started packing, got my hair cut, sold my Aunt's house… I couldn't stay there anymore anyways…" She said quietly without looking the others in the eye. Prentiss rubbed her back sympathetically, but after taking a deep breath Dani looked up again.

"Who could it be from then?" She demanded softly.

"It seems familiar…" Reid spoke up, being oblivious to what the others were saying as he was drawn to the poem as he read it over again.

"It's Edgar Alan Poe. I looked it up already." Dani supplied and snatched the letter from Reid's hands.

"It's probably just someone messing with you. Remember last time… He hand-wrote all of the letters. This one's typed. It's a different style than what you received before. I say don't worry about it." Morgan said and Dani smiled briefly, wondering if everything she had thought was all just her imagination.

"I guess…" She replied and shoved the note back into her bag. She didn't want to bring it up right away, but she couldn't find a side reason to admit why she was in Quantico.

"Well, I have to get going. I have a date that awaits. Dani, you're staying in town for a while right? We can hang out tomorrow, maybe we could all go to dinner. I'm sure there's a lot you have to catch us up on…" Morgan raised his eyebrows suspiciously as he stood and threw on his jacket.

"Yeah, sure." Dani smiled back, but inside she thought about exactly how much she had hidden from the people in front of her.

"I have to get going too, I promised my mother I would have dinner with her tonight. It's not exactly MY idea of a fun time, but a promise is a promise…" Prentiss muttered loudly as she grabbed her purse from under her desk and the jacket from the back of her chair. "Dani, are you staying with some friends or something for the night?" She asked curiously.

"Oh. Um, no I was thinking of just getting a hotel room…" She replied nonchalantly. It wasn't exactly something she had wanted to do, she had too much alone time back in her Aunt's empty house before flying over to the States. She wasn't so sure if she could trust herself to be alone so much anymore.

"A hotel? You shouldn't stay at a hotel if you don't have to, they're such a waste of money… Plus, I saw this show the other day where 23% of hotel sheets don't get changed on a regular basis. It also said that the mattresses in most hotel rooms are generally over 4 years old, so you can just imagine what kind of stuff is lodged into the mattresses that just changing the sheets won't cov-" Reid babbled on, but Prentiss quickly interrupted him with a hard slap to his chest as a disgusted look crept over her face.

"Geez, come on Reid! We have to stay in hotels half the time we're working, so maybe you should just keep your little known facts to yourself." Prentiss pleaded, but Morgan only shook his head and laughed.

"Yeah, plus where do you suggest I stay then? With you?" Dani asked accusingly as she looked at him with a teasing smile.

"Huh? No, I… Well, I didn't really… Um.." Reid slowly stammered, realizing the corner he had dragged himself in unknowingly, but suddenly felt the heavy hand of Morgan patting him on the back.

"Now there's an idea. I know for a fact Reid's got a pull-out in his living room." Morgan added slyly and patted Reid heavily on the back again, knocking Reid forward.

"Whadya say Spence? Want to save me some money?" Dani asked brightly as she picked up her bag from the floor.

"Uh, I guess… Sure, yeah…" He replied and swallowed roughly, wondering what he had just gotten himself into.
