Kevin Lynch walked into Penelope Garcia's lair to find her sitting at her desk, a large leather bag clutched in her hands and her eyes tightly closed.

"Usually I love your taste babe, but that's the ugliest purse I've ever seen" quipped kevin.

Garcia gave a start and spun around in her chair. "Ever hear of knocking Kevin!" she snapped.

Kevin held up his hand. "Whoa there, I was just joking, if you like that purse then fine, I didn't know you were so fashion sensitive." He walked over and inspected it closer.

Garcia rolled her eyes at him. "It's not mine, it's Reid's, he was in a hurry and left it here by mistake."

Kevin picked the bag up and hefted it "Wow, Reids purse is heavy, what the hell does he carry in here?" he asked.

Garcia snatched it back. "It's not a purse, it's a bag thingy and yes it's heavy and it's the reason I feel so guilty, "

"Guilty?"

"Yes, I'm dying to know what's inside it. He's been carrying this thing around for years. I know you think I'm this perfect woman Kevin but I am incurably nosy. I am fighting not to betray the privacy of my very good friend." Garcia stated.

Kevin smiled down at his tech goddess. "Penelope, you are a good friend to Reid and I still think you're amazing but..." He snatched the bag from her hands and sprinted out of her office and into the empty bullpen. "you see, Reid and I are not that close so I don't feel the same sense of compunction," He giggled madly and dashed out of the way of a Garcia in hot pursuit.

"Kevin Lynch , what in the world has got into you?" she demanded, out of breath from chasing him.

Shh, Penny, wait "

He stopped at Morgan's desk and pulled open the bag and peered inside." "Oh wow Oh WOW!" he exclaimed.

Garcia stopped short in front of him. "What, what is it?" she said her eyes wide.

Kevin looked up at her, his mouth hanging open . "It's ...it's this," He suddenly pulled out several bags of candy and dropped them on the desk. He then fell back into Morgan's old desk chair laughing.

Garcia looked at the display of skittles and sour patch kids in front of her. "Candy? look at it all, It's a wonder he has any teeth left," she exclaimed.

kevin tried to compose himself. "Really honey, what did you think he had in there, atomic secrets?"

"No, just something more genius-like I guess." she sat down and helped herself to a candy.

Kevin peered inside again " Well this is more Genius like, "He pulled out two heavy hardcover books written in a foreign language.

"If there are secrets in here ; I really don't think we'd be able to translate them anyway." he concluded.

"Ok Kevin that's enough, put the stuff back. I've seen enough, my curiousity is satisfied." She started to gather up the candy.

"Oh really ,have you seen these ?" Kevin grinned as he pulled out a string of condoms

Garcias jaw dropped "That little horny devil " she exclaimed "I guess I don't know my young g-man as well as I think," She couldn't help but smile.

"Maybe Morgan gave him these," Kevin suggested with a lewd grin on his face "I wonder if he'd mind if I borrowed one?" He slipped one in his breast pocket.

"Kevin please, put everything back, get your face out of the bag, that's enough," she pleaded. "I'm starting to feel icky now."

Kevin was silent as he stared wordlessly into the messenger bag.

"Ok Kevin, what now, coffee flavoured pasties.?"

Kevin gingerly reached inside and slowly pulled out an object and laid it on the desk.

It was a syringe.

Before either one could say a word. They heard the elevator doors open and saw Spencer Reid step off.
