The 6 weary agents slowly stepped off the elevator and headed towards the bullpen, each of them lost in their own thoughts. The case had been hard and it had taken them almost a week to track down the unsub and in that time he had managed to kill another two women, bringing his total to five. The team did, however, take some comfort in the fact that they had apprehended him before he had the chance to end the life of the last woman he kidnapped ,although after what the poor women had endured it was safe to say that part of her life had been taken from her anyway.
Emily shook her head as the images she had seen replayed themselves over in her mind. Sometimes her ability to compartmentalize was just not enough, certain cases could not be filed away in a convenient little box in her mind. She knew that tonight she needed something to distract her from the horrors of her job, they all did. Suddenly a whirlwind of colour caught her eye as Garcia swept into the bullpen and quickly addressed the team before anyone had a chance to speak.
"OK my supreme crime fighters your fairy godmother, aka moi, has managed to get us all on the VIP list for THE hottest club in town tonight." Without missing a beat or giving any of them a chance to protest she continued, "and I am not taking no for an answer. I know you have all had a tough week and that is exactly why we all need to go out and let off some steam. So be ready to go in one hour. Anyone not in attendance at the stipulated hour will be sought out and punished accordingly."
With that she was gone. The agents stared at each other, no-one quite sure what to say.
Morgan finally ended the silence, "Well I don't know about anyone else but I am definitely in."
JJ looked around at her team mates before adding "Me too. Garcia's right we do need to let off some steam. Come on guys it will be fun."
Slowly they all agreed, much to everyone's surprise even Hotch and Rossi agreed to join them for a couple of drinks.
As they all left to get ready for their night on the town Emily marvelled at Garcia's powers of persuasion and pondered if the woman could in fact read peoples minds.
The atmosphere in the club was electric, the music was good, the alcohol was flowing and as Emily surveyed her friends faces she noted that each and every one of them were beginning to relax. She thoroughly enjoyed these times when they could all be together and just enjoy themselves, rather than being the stressed out, over worked agents that they usually were. Her thoughts were interrupted by Morgan arriving back at the table with yet another round of drinks.
"Well thank you my chunk of chocolate paradise" Garcia beamed as she picked up an unidentifiable pink drink that was adorned with a glittery cocktail umbrella and several straws. Looking at JJ and Emily she continued, "I think after this one it will definitely be time for me and my female crime fighting posse to hit the dance floor."
JJ giggled and Emily groaned, she wasn't quite drunk enough for that yet. As if sensing her hesitation and the reason for it Morgan lined up several shots for each of them. Emily smiled to herself, this was definitely going to be an interesting night.
As the team began to unwind and enjoy their downtime together each of them were blissfully unaware of the impact that the decisions they would make in the next 24 hours would have and how all of their lives were about to change forever.
