It had been a long day and an even longer case for all of us. We were in the air and I looked at my team. I smiled seeing them all sleeping in their various spots. Reid and Morgan had two seats right next to each other all the way back still belted in, which was good because that meant I wouldn't have to wake them up until we were home. JJ was fully stretched out on one of the couches per usual and had fallen asleep with her book still in her hands. I looked over at the other couch and had to hold my breath to keep from laughing. There were the three newest teammates of mine. Ashly was in the middle and had fallen asleep head straight back. On either side of her, were the other two newest: Riley Davis, my sister, and Nicky Reagan my niece. They had fallen asleep on Ashly's shoulders. At the one table we had, Rossi was asleep head on the table. It was getting kinda cold in the cabin so I went to grab the blankets from the overhead bin that Penelope had put there last time she had flown with us. I guess if we got cold we just beared it out. I started with Morgan and Reid and tossed their blankets on top of them. I then moved to JJ and took her book put a piece of paper inside closed it and covered her with her own blanket. She smiled and rearranged to fully have the blanket on top of her. I then moved over to the other couch. This one was a bit more of a challenge. All three girls were asleep and exhausted from work so I didn't want to wake them. I instead unfolded the blanket all the way and tucking it around all three girls. Smiling I head to my place with my own blanket with the plan of taking a nap of my own. I sit in my own seat and pull my blanket over me. Shortly after I was asleep.
I awoke a few hours later (you try flying from California to Virginia publicly: we had our jet of course but still had to take off and land at a public airport ?) to my phone ringing. I pounce on it with hopes that it wouldn't wake anyone, other than me of course, and saw it was my big brother Danny. Seriously?! I thought! He did know that I was in the air on my way home. I let him know I was. I walked to the back of the cabin with a plan to give him a piece of my mind.
Danny. You know I'm in the air and it's been a long few days and everyone's trying to catch some shuteye. What do you have that can't wait?
Pria?
Oh detective Baez. What can I do for you?
I know it's late and you've had a long few days, but Reagan is in trouble. I want to help him I just don't know how. He pushed me away.
Just a second.
Pria. What can I do for you?
Tell me where we are at right now.
You're flying over Illinois. Why is it important?
Perfect.
Detective Baez we'll be in on the ground in about an 2 hour.
Perfect. Meanwhile I'm going to go find Reagan and try and get him to talk to me.
Good idea. You can tell him we're coming.
Alright bye.
Penelope can you get Will and meet us in New York?
Of course. We have a case?
Officially? No. Unofficially? Maybe. I just got a call from Baez. Reagan's in some sort of trouble undefined at this time. I know what you're going to say and I know. I do know one thing: my 'brother' would only push people away if he could land himself in trouble. Although ever since Joe passed and Riley was convicted we made a promise to each other: that we would never turn our backs on each other when we need each other the most. We turned our backs on Riley so we could mourn but move on. She wasn't ready. We turned our backs on her when she needed us the most, and look what happened. I won't make that mistake again.
I know. I wasn't going to doubt you. You're hardly ever wrong. I was just going to ask where we're meeting up. We're there unofficially so we cannot use the local precinct.
Oh. I'm still figuring it out. Detective Baez along with all the Reagans are going to meet us on the air strip. We'll go from there.
Ok. We'll be good to park there?
We should be.
See you in a few hours.
Yep. You mind picking up coffee for us? I have a feeling that we're going to be burning the midnight oil.
Sure. Should I pick up some for the Reagans too?
No. They'll have their own from home.
