Chemistry

"It has to be a coincidence. There is no way Rossi is sleeping with Strauss," Morgan argued with Garcia and Reid.

"I think it makes perfect sense," Garcia claimed.

"I'm suspicious, but how do you figure it makes sense?" asked Reid.

"It takes a lot of passion to fight like they do. The sparks fly. They've got chemistry!"

"There is no quantifiable way to measure passion, having sex does not take chemistry and I've never seen sparks fly between individuals," reasoned Reid.

Morgan chuckled and ruffled Reid's hair. "It's not meant to be taken literally. It's like magic."

"So you're saying love is deceiving," challenged Reid.

"No, Reid. I'm not saying that." Morgan took a deep breath and sighed. "Baby Girl, help me out," he pleaded.

She dramatically made it look like she was thinking hard. "It's like the romantic poetry your mom read to you when you were young."

"Your mother read you romantic poetry?" asked Morgan with a smirk.

"Maybe she wanted me to grow up to be a romantic gentleman."

"And is he?" asked Garcia.

"Excuse me?" asked Morgan.

"I don't need to be a profiler to know that the two of you have chemistry."

Morgan and Reid looked at her in surprise.

"Now back to why I called you in here. I need your help confirming that our Italian Stallion…"

Morgan winced and Reid rolled his eyes.

"…is doing our section chief."

"No way, Baby Girl. I'm not willing to deal with the consequences if we get caught."

"If he's the one responsible for the positive changes, I want to do everything I can to make sure it continues."

"Now you're scaring me," Morgan admitted.

"Can you excuse us a moment?" Without waiting for an answer, Reid ushered Morgan out of Garcia's lair and down the hall into his office.

"You can't seriously be considering this?" asked Morgan.

"If it's true, they would be more inclined to look the other way. We can't keep things a secret forever."

"There is that."

Reid smiled triumphantly.

"But I may need some more persuasion."

"What did you have in mind?"

"Some sparks," he answered hopefully.

"Some magic," added Reid.

"I think we're on the same page."

Morgan backed him against the nearest wall and engaged him in a sultry kiss.

"Most definitely," agreed Reid.

"Maybe they went to Rossi's house," said Reid as they kept surveillance on Strauss's.

"It's more likely they aren't even together."

"Maybe they went for drinks after work."

"That wouldn't happen."

"Why not?"

It was time for a distraction. Morgan really didn't want to let the cat out of the bag about Strauss's drinking problem.

"Let's just wait this out a little bit longer. I can think of some ways to pass the time," Morgan grinned and wiggled his brows.

A half an hour later, Rossi and Strauss were walking into her house completely unnoticed by the chemistry fogging up the windows across the street.
