Storm Warning

At 2 am the Major Crimes murder room would usually be a ghost town waiting for next murder to bring in the team. But this morning the room was filled with the sounds of people lying out sleeping bags. There had been a flood in their area so the team had decided to all come stay at the office just to be safe. Unfortunatly Provenza was none too happy about the arrangement and he made sure that everyone knew it.

"Isn't this just great. Instead of sleeping in my bed I get to sleep on the cold floor here" Provenza mutters as he puts his sleeping bag next to his desk. "Because I don't spend enough time with you all as it is".

"It's not like the rest of us like this ether, Provenza" says Tao from the other side of the room.

At Tao's last word the team noticed Captain Raydor on the phone in her office looking worried. The team knew that she was concerned about Rusty since he was stuck at home because of the flood. Finally she came out of her office and noticed the team looking at her.

"How's Rusty doing?" asked Buzz

"He's fine. I think he's a little worried but he'd never say anything." Raydor shrugged as she sits down on her sleeping bag.

"There's no reason for anyone to be worried about the storm. Think of this as a camping trip or a sleep over…." Sykes began before being interrupted by Sanchez.

"Ok Provenza's right. You really are too cheerful sometimes" The entire team laughs at the look of annoyance on Sykes face. Finally she grins at everyone and flips over to go to sleep.

Things got quiet for a few minutes until Provenza says:

"You know, I'm …kind of glad we're here."

A moment of silence followed his statement until Flynn cracks ups. At Flynn's laugh the rest of the team starts to laugh too.

"You're right Provenza." Raydor's soft voice floats over the room. "It's nice to spend time with family"
