"Okay," Rossi said to her as he sat her back into the chair. "You are free to go…send in Garcia please."
"Wait…what?" Emily asked confused.
"Go get Penelope please." Rossi told her.
Aaron sat behind his desk trying to hide his confusion. "You heard him, go get Garcia please."
"But…you just…I'm ready to talk." Emily choked.
"I heard you, Emily now go get Garcia before I have to ask again." Rossi demanded.
Emily stood up confused and walked out the door.
"She was about to crack…?" Aaron questioned.
"I know, it's good to keep them guessing. And if we have a little bit of information then we will for sure be able to crack Penelope of all people." Rossi answered.
A few minutes later there was a soft knock on the door. "Come in!" Aaron called.
Penelope opened the door and peeked her head around the corner. "You wanted to see me?"
"Yes, why don't you come in?" Aaron beckoned.
"I'm actually good right here."
"One." Rossi started.
Penelope came right in. "Don't count!" She begged. She sat down in a chair and sat down to stare at the two men.
"Now I need you to be totally up front with us kitten," Rossi cooed.
"I'll try," She sighed.
"Okay walk us through what happened last week." Aaron said quickly.
"Well, we all went to our things that day…"
"HEEY!" Reid exclaimed as Morgan ruffled his hair. "You know that I don't like that!"
"Yeah, but Dad and Uncle Rossi aren't here to save you now!" Morgan laughed.
"Shut up!" Reid grunted.
JJ walked into the bullpen to see the two guys going at it, "How's the rewrite of your speech going?"
"AGAIN?!" Morgan exclaimed. "You are changing it again?"
"There was something wrong with the second paragraph, the structure was…"
"It was perfect two edits ago." Emily told him.
"Like ten edits ago." Morgan put in his two cents.
"Okay, does everyone have their addresses?" Garcia asked as she walked into the room.
"Yes!" Came the chorus of replies.
"okay, so everyone do what they are supposed to do." Garcia told the group, clearly happy to be the one getting to boss.
Morgan sauntered over to where he stood above his girl, "Or what baby girl?" He growled.
"OR…" She pulled the word out, "We can't go party tonight. You know that Dad and Uncle Rossi won't let us out if we don't do our jobs."
"I hear ya!" Emily said quickly as she jumped up and grabbed her bag. "I'll be done around four, are we still on for drinks around six?"
"Yeah, that sushi bar on Third." JJ told her, flashing one of her patent smiles. "I need to go pick a case for when they get back."
"I'll be there!" Reid said as he printed out the speech and ran for the door.
"Me too!" Morgan shouted as he grabbed his jacket off the back of his chair and some papers off the desk before running for the door.
"Great!" Garcia said as she went down to her office to help out the guys on their case out of town.
"How's it going there Garcia?" Hotch inquired when they final had a second to rest.
"Good Sir, everyone made it off to their speaking engagements without fail." Garcia said proudly.
"You guys have any plans for tonight?" Rossi asked, poking his head into the camera on the computer.
"Yes sir, we are going out to sushi for dinner…" Garcia as she typed away looking for the info that they were asking for.
"Celebrating your freedom?" Aaron laughed.
"Something like that." Garcia grinned.
"Okay, be safe. Send that information to our phones when you are done." Aaron spoke.
"Always sir." Garcia said quickly.
"Garcia, I know you kids can get a little crazy, but please try and keep it under control, Kitten." Rossi warned.
"Please," Garcia said in an offended voice, "As if we would give you two an excuse to never leave us alone again."
Garcia clicked off the phone and busied herself with work and writing her speech for the tech conference the next day. At 5:30 she logged off the computer and went to change before meeting everyone up for dinner.
"HI!" She greeted everyone as she walked through the door, last as usual.
"HEY!" They all greeted back.
"Well now that you're here we can really get this party started!" Morgan said as he waved over the waitress. "A round of beer for the group, whatever you like the best!" He said flashing her his best smile.
"Not too crazy there Morgan, you know we still have four days of work in front of us." JJ cautioned.
"Yeah, desk work and speaking engagements nothing too heavy. No field work." Morgan said as he passed the beers around the table.
"Just the one." Reid agreed. "How did everyone's day go?"
"Mine was a little off," JJ admitted, "I couldn't find a good case to meet our criteria."
"Dad won't be home until Sunday, something will come up by then. Something always comes up." Emily told her.
"You don't think that we are going to go stir crazy before then?" JJ asked earnestly.
"WHOA!" Garcia said quickly. "You heard Dad and Uncle Rossi, no cases until they get back."
Unless it's an extreme emergency!" Morgan added as he signaled for the second round of beers to be brought to the table.
Garcia accepted her beer smiling sweetly. "My day was good. I had lots of fun and helped the guys out."
"Good!" everyone chorused softly.
"I had a great talk six people said they were interested in jobs after my talk." Reid said excitedly.
"That's great Reid!" JJ encouraged.
"What about you Emily?" Morgan asked.
"It went okay, boring. You know that I prefer to be out in the field. I think it's lame that they made me sign up for this." Emily sighed.
"You only have to go tomorrow and Thursday, at least it isn't all week like I got sentenced to." Morgan said shaking his head.
"Idol hands," Emily said laughing as she accepted her third beer from Morgan and ordered their sushi. "How was your day old man?"
"I got four girls numbers," Morgan said smiling.
"Ohh…" They all cooed.
"Who wants to go for drink after this?" Morgan asked looking around at the group.
"We all drove, do you think that's such a good idea?" Reid asked.
"I was left in charge and I say that we go out!" Morgan said decisively, "Besides the girls deserve it; Emily and JJ had rough days."
"You were put in Co-charge…" JJ clarified. She thought for a moment, "Is that a word?"
"No," Garcia said laughing, "so we should probably not go out for drinks."
"I'm not making words up; I can totally drive." Reid said clearly.
JJ paused for a moment and looked at Reid assessing him. She was second in charge and if she said they should go home she knew that they would.
"I can drive too," Garcia said.
"Girls car boys car?" Emily asked.
JJ bit her lip nervously. She had a not so great feeling about this. Reid looked to JJ to see what she would decide. "Are you two sure you can drive safely?"
"Yeah," They both confirmed.
"Okay, then we can go." JJ said, trying to sound more confident than she felt. After a few more food they paid the bill and walked out to the street. "Where to?" Reid asked pulling out his car keys.
"Uhm what about the hutch, it isn't too far from here." Emily suggested.
"The agency is always trying to shut that place down; and I'm pretty sure that Uncle Rossi has told you and Morgan you can't go there." JJ said seriously.
"What they won't know wont hurt them…" Morgan said.
"I'm not afraid of it hurting them…" JJ trailed off.
"Please Sis," Reid said giving his best puppy dog eyes.
"Oh fine!" JJ caved as they walked to the cars.
"Let me stop you here," Rossi interrupted. "How many drinks had you had at this point?"
"At what point," Garcia nervously hedged.
"At the point where you and Reid thought you should drive to the club you were forbidden to go to." Aaron said, already having lost patience with their list of crimes, and it was only Monday, God help them when it came to getting through the rest of the week.
"Four…or five…" Garcia mumbled.
"Well which was it?" Rossi asked.
"Five." Garcia gulped.
"Go get JJ and tell her we want to see her NOW!" Rossi barked.
