" Are you coming down with something Garcia?" JJ asked when she heard her friend sniffle while sitting at her computer in the police precinct. Penelope was reaching into her skirt pocket for a handkerchief quickly. " I just feel like I might need to sneeze for a moment JJ." She sniffed a little to try to fight the urge.

" All right as long as you're sure that's it."

" It is this itch is insane." Her eyes were a little watery and her breath hitched.

" I have some antihistamines." Reid said.

" Thank you boy genius. There must be something here in the precinct that is bothering my nose."

He smiled. " It is rather dusty." He agreed.

" Oh dust , that's what it is." " Excuse me." " Hachoo." She felt better for a moment but then her nose began to tickle again. " Not another sneeze."

He handed her a blister pack of pills.

" Hachieww." " I can't stop."She managed to swallow one of the pills with some water before a third sneeze began to build." Ahhchoo." " I never sneeze three times in a row." Her hand rubbed her nostrils under her handkerchief for a moment as she fought off a fourth one.

" How about we step outside for a moment?" Reid suggested.

" That might help thank you." Her eyes were watery and she knew she needed to be away from the dust .

He took her arm and they went outside. " Thank you." Her face fell a little . " Achoo." " This is getting out of control." She sniffed. " I'b away from the dust but yet I still want to sneeze."

She blew her nose quietly.

" Maybe it's something else Garcia."

" I was fine when we left Quantico."

" I know but germs can strike at any time."

" I know it just feels like I need one more really good sneeze for some reason."

" I can't help you with that."

" I know I just need to wait ha here a moment ."

" Okay."

Penelope stood there a moment and thought come on sneeze already. " Heachooo."

" Did that help?"

" Some but I still feel like I have a little tickle."

" Maybe it's more than an allergy."

" Well something is making me feel like I might want to sneeze again definitely." She sniffed and rubbed her nostrils with a fresh handkerchief from the other pocket of her skirt for a minute.

" Okay."

" I don't feel bad my nose just wants to achoo sneeze right now."

JJ walked outside then and asked " Are you still sneezing Pen?"

She sighed. " I can't shake it." " Heachoo."

" Why don't you go back to the hotel and rest, things are getting close to wrapping up for the day here."

" Yeah that's probably a good idea."

" I'll see if Morgan or someone can drive you."

" Thank you that's sweet."

Derek came out just as she had to sneeze again. " Achiew."

" Bless you BabyGirl, I think we need to get you to the hotel and tucked in."

She sniffed. " Thadks that's sweet angelfish."

" It's probably just a little bit of a cold and you'll feel better after a nap."
