The plane ride From Quantico to Los Angeles was long and boring. Morgan slept most of the ride; as did JJ. Emily read and reread and reread the case file, hoping to come across some sort of break. Hotch was reading and Gideon was playing a casual game of chess against himself, because his usual opponent was gone.
They landed in Los Angeles to find the city bustling, even at 6:00 in the morning. The waiting SUV's took them to the Los Angeles FBI headquarters, where they would find the BAU.
The Quantico profiling team piled into a waiting elevator and Hotch Pressed the button for floor 5 (the secretary told them). They stepped out and found themselves in an office that looked much like the one in Quantico, thought the words Los Angeles Behavioral Analysis Unit in gold letters.
An aging man wearing casual jeans and a tee shirt walked over to them and introduced himself.
"'Ello, I'm Special Agent Daniel Toggard, you must be the Quantico Team, sorry to call on such short notice, but three of out agents left on holiday." Toggard held out a hand and Hotch shook it.
"That's fine, Agent Toggard, were used to short notice calls. I'm Aaron Hotchner and this is Special Agent Gid-"
"Special Agent Gideon," the man interrupted "And Morgan, JJ, Emily Prentiss, and your Tech goddess is Penelope Garcia".
The team gaped. "H-How do you know us?" JJ asked, apprehensively.
"Oh," said Taggard, "My boss, head of the profilers of this office, talks about you all the time!"
Gideon was feeling as though they had walked into a trap. How could someone know about us? How?
"We'd like to speak to your boss" Hotch said. He was having the same apprehensive feelings as Gideon.
"Alright, straight to the back door and go right in!" Taggard said jovially, and he walked off the continue working.
Hotch, Gideon, JJ, Emily, and Morgan Approached the door cautiously. And Hotch pushed it open, only to find his mouth fall open in shock.
There, sitting cross- legged in his office chair and absently going over a case file….
Was Spencer Reid.
