Chapter 2
The long day was drawing to a close. The entire team was buzzing around with excitement. God willing there were no serial criminals lurking, they were going to be off for the next fourteen days.
"Penelope, what are you going to do with your two weeks?" Morgan asked as he propped himself against his desk.
"There's a techfair in Florida, you know I can't resist getting to spy the latest gadgetry."
"Maybe you'll find a nice hacker to lay on the beach with." he joked.
"I'm not really the beach type, but finding a smart, sexy, hacker would be a plus." she grinned.
"What about you? Spending the weeks in with your little love toy?" he grinned.
"Actually, we're going to do a little bit of everything."
"Oh, I bet you are."
"He gets the first week, I get the second. We haven't told each other our plans yet, but I know that he wants us to head straight to Vegas in the morning."
"Ooh, time to meet the Mom-in-law?" he sighed.
"Well, we did meet once."
"Yeah, but back then you weren't dirtying up her little boy. Are you nervous? I mean, considering she is scitsophrenic."
"That's not what scares me."
"Oh, what is it then?"
"She is a pretty...fierce...judgemental woman. Spencer hasn't exactly, told her about us."
"It gets juicier and juicier. The big coming out moment, very nice." Morgan rolled his eyes.
"I thought my mom was going to have a heart attack, but she was extremely welcoming to Spence. I am just not so sure Mrs. Reid is going to be so accomodating."
"And what are your plans?"
"Oh wouldn't you like to know."
"Come on, give me something baby! Island get away? Secret spa? What?"
"Baby girl, if I told you, you would go crazy with jealousy." he said in his usual cocky tone.
"Who's going to be jealous?" Reid asked as he walked up behind Morgan.
"Penelope over here."
"Of what?" he asked as Morgan wrapped his arm around his shoulder.
"I already am jealous. Reid you are the luckiest man in the world." he smiled.
"Luck is just a term people use to justify the outcome of a situation."
"What does that mean?" Garcia asked.
"It means that 'luck' had nothing to do with it." he smirked.
"Nice one." Morgan said. "Really we were talking about our vacation, and how jealous she would be of the places I'm going to take you, and things I'm going to do while we're there." Reid blushed bright red, still uncomfortable talking about his private life in public.
"All it takes is a couple words and you make him melt. Cute little genius." Garcia teased. "Oh, J.J. what are you and Will going to do for vacation?"
"Us? Actually Hotch and Jack are joining us for a trip to DisneyWorld."
"That's going to be..." Garcia couldn't quite find the word.
"Odd. I know, but it'll be good for Hotch and Jack to spend some real time together, and I'll be there to make sure he smiles."
"Good luck." Morgan said.
"Thanks, I'm gonna need it." she replied as she walked away.
"Anybody care what I'm doing?" Prentiss asked, approaching the rest of the team.
"Let me guess, France?" Reid asked.
"Close, Italy. I love the world, I honestly can't wait. We have, what, thirty minutes?"
"Twenty-two point four." Reid corrected.
"How do you put up with that all of the time?" Prentiss inquired.
"There are ways to shut him up." Morgan said, grinning. Once again, Reid turned eight shades of red.
"I thought you said you liked it when I, how did you put it? Talked all of that smart stuff? At least, that's what you said last night."
"Oh, nice. Reid is on a roll today." Garcia cooed.
"Baby, you know I do." he replied, squeezing Reid's butt, causing him to jump.
"Derek..." he scolded. "we're at work."
"Makes it even more exciting." Reid shook his head in disapproval.
"Hey, has anyone seen Rossi?" he asked, trying to change the subject.
"Hotch let him head out a little early, so that he could catch an early flight." Prentiss replied.
They talked until it was time to go, when they all but ran out of the doors. Morgan and Reid rushed home as fast as possible so that they could make their flight to Vegas. Their bags were already packed and waiting, all they had to do was wait for their cab.
"Spencer! Come on! He's here!"
"Ok, ok, I'm on my way! I just have to grab something!"
"We already packed everything!"
"No, it's something for my mom, I almost forgot!"
"We're going to miss our flight!"
"I got it! I got it!" He screamed as he pulled a book from a shelf. The cab outside was honking his horn. Morgan snatched up their bags as Reid locked the door, bidding farewell to Quantico, Virginia for the next fourteen days.
