The next day she walked into the bullpen and towards her desk, and she saw another gift from her secret admirer. This time it was a black teddy bear holding out a heart to her. She picked up the note and read it. "Now you have my heart. I hope someday I can have your's. Your Secret Admirer."
"Whatcha got there Princess? Another gift from your Secret Admirer."
Morgan and Reid materialized out of thin air. Emily mananged to not get startled.
"Reid did you do this?"
"I didn't." Reid squeaked.
"Reid you are the only one who knows I like black teddy bears not brown."
"Yeah and you knew what the flowers meant."
"I didn't know what all the flowers meant." Reid protested looking very embarrassed.
Emily wondered if he was more embarrassed because he didn't what the flowers meant or because of this line of questioning.
"You knew enough of them to get the message across, and you could have faked not knowing the rest to throw suspicion off of yourself."
"I'm not that devious."
"Did your secret admirer send you anything else?" Garcia chirped as she rounded the corner into the bullpen.
"Yeah they sent her a teddy bear."
"A teddy bear. Aww."
"Wait till you read the note."
"Are you finished Morgan, or do you have anything else to add about my love life." Emily glared at Morgan, but he only laughed.
"I want to see the note" Garcia exclaimed boucing up and down in excitement.
Emily handed her the note.
Garcia clutched at her heart as she finished the note. "Aww doesn't this just melt your heart?"
Emily didn't want to admit it, but it was melting her heart a little. Especially when she allowed herself to dream that her secret admirer was a certain tall, dark, and handsome Unit Chief. But that was something that no one could ever know. What if it was Reid though, I never told that to anyone else. What am I going to say. She liked him, I mean sure he had a model's body, and he was smart, and those hands ... wait a minute this is Reid we are talking about. He's only a friend. God I have got to find out who is sending these things it's starting to mess with me. And if the sender turned out to be a certain blonde Media Liaison, well ... What am I going to do then? She didn't have an answer for that one. In a trulyserendipitous moment JJ walked into the bullpen."What are we all doing around Emily's desk?" She smiled real big "Did she get another gift from her secret admirer?"
"Yes this time they sent a teddy bear. You wouldn't happen to know anything about this would you?"
JJ smiled. "What did the note say?"
"How did you know there was a note?"
"Well the last note was a clue so one would assume that they would send another note with another clue. Haven't you guys every read a mystery novel?"
"It's not a clue this time. Here read it." Emily snatched the note away from Garcia and shoved it in JJ's hands.
"Hey." Garcia pouted.
Emily ignored her and studied JJ's reaction to the note.
"They're smooth. The person that wrote this they are smooth you got to give them that."
"JJ seriously tell me who wrote this."
JJ put her hand on the raven haired Agent's cheek, "Don't worry you'll find out in a couple of days" And with that she walked away. Luckily no one could see the huge grin she had on her face.
Hotch entered the bullpen. "Whoa deja vu, I swear we did this yesterday."
"Was that a joke sir?"
"You know me Garcia, I never joke." He said in his trademark calm and detached manner. "Now get back to work. And Prentiss what did I say about gifts in the office?"
Busted, "I am not supposed to get them, but in my defence I don't know who is sending me them so I can't ask them to stop."
Hotch pinched the bridge of his nose. "Very well, but remember everyone has a job to do here. They can't spend all day gossiping about your Secret Admirer."
"Yes sir."
Emily plopped down into her chair defeated. It was obvious at least one of her coworkers didn't send the gifts. She took another look at the teddy bear. "Whose heart are you giving me."
The bear said nothing.
