A/N

Another chapter! I'm writing a lot today. :P

The next day, at the BAU.

Reid sat down at his desk with a hopeful smile that immediately fell off his face once he glanced at the massive stack of paper on it. Even though he could read each sheet in about ten seconds flat, he really wasn't in the mood for it. Besides, work started at 9 am and it was only 8:45. He could procrastinate for 15 minutes, right?

Wrong, said his ever-calculating brain. If he started now, he could finish 5230 seconds faster.

The calculations of Reid's brain were interrupted by the arrival of Morgan and Garcia. They charged through the elevator door, apparently engrossed in a heated debate. Both were holding large drinks, presumably coffee.

"Garcia! I can't believe you just told the coffee shop boy that I'm your marvellous god of melted chocolate! And then you winked at him!"

"Honestly, Morgan. It's really not that big of a deal. Besides, I'm just speaking the plain truth."

Shaking his head, Morgan said "I know it is, babygirl. But that doesn't mean I want the whole city to know it!"

"Whatever you say, boy. It'll be our secret then."

Winking, Garcia flounced into her lair and out of sight.

"Hey, morning kid", said Morgan.

"Morning yourself", replied Reid. "Where is everyone? Usually everyone's here before 9, and its 8:56 now."

As if on cue, Hotch, JJ, and Rossi fell out of the elevator. Apparently, in an elevator two is company and three is borderline claustrophobic.

"Morning", said Hotch.

"Hey Hotch! Looks like we're all here… except for Emily. Anyone heard from her?" Reid asked.

"Nope", said JJ as everyone shook their heads.

"Well, it's only 9:00 now. Maybe she's stuck in traffic or something", the practical-minded Rossi said. "I'm sure she'll show up soon. Anyways, do we have a case today JJ?"

"Not yet. There are some potential ones on my desk but I haven't gotten the chance to look at them yet. I'll keep you guys posted." JJ replied as she entered her office.

"Great… another day of paperwork. I love this job", said Morgan with a grimace. "I wonder where Prentiss is. I don't want her to miss out on this joy."

"She's probably just late, like Rossi said", replied Hotch as he walked into his office.

"That's not like her…" Reid said. He wondered what had happened.

None of them suspected the danger that Prentiss was really in…
