JJ slowly walked over to her teammate. Dr. Spencer Reid sat hunched over, sleeping on the small tile floor, oblivious to the looming figure approaching him. JJ bent down at roughly a foots distance from the sleeping form. She reached a tentative hand out to Reid's sleeping form. Her hand, placed on his shoulder, contrasted drastically to the dark material of his sweater vest. Her hold tightened, and she gave a firm but gentle shake to the young profiler. Reid instantaintiously sprang from his perch. His physical body tensed, and giant doe eyes looked up at who had woken him from his slumber. JJ was shocked at his reaction, she tried to calm him down as he gathered himself. Slowly, she tried to embrace him ina hug, but he brushed her off; not letting her get too close.
"Sorry JJ, but if I'm correct, everyone else has already exited the plane, and you just came to wake me up." His voice was cold, and taut. Quickly, he got to his feet, and made his way around the blonde. He gathered his belongings where he had left them the night before. With his satchel safely on his shoulder, and the case in his hand; Reid made his way down the steps, leaving yet another team member baffled at his behavior.
Outside, the sun had risen, and an unbearable heat beat down on the team. The hot Arizona desert gave it's hearty welcome to the BAU group. The rest of the team had already boarded to the black SUV's they had been supplied with. The only people they were waiting for appeared out of the jet. Spencer Reid speed walked to the SUV's, a blonde JJ hurredly coming after him. Aaron Hotchner, their boss, got out of the Suv he had been occupying, and headed in the direction of the two. His eyebrows knit together as he pretty much gave Reid the death stare. Reid felt his presence, and began to walk at his side, JJ not far behind. All three walked together toward the black SUV's. Hotch stopped, and grabbed Reid as he continued to walk. Reid tensed as he felt the pressure. His hazel eyes lifted to see Hotchners beady dark ones.
"Your riding with Morgan. I want you both on the same page when we get to the police station. If not I will remove both of you from this case, and I wont take no for an answer." Hotchner wasn't one to mince words, so Reid followed orders; like he had the majority of his life. Hotch let go, leaving Reid to face the raging brother on the other side of the car door. Hotch gave Reid one last look before heading toward his SUV. Reid gave an exasperated sigh; not knowing how to handle the situation that had been presented before him. Without aby way of evasion, Reid sprung the door open and faced his demons, ads he faced the demon waiting for him on the other side.
Morgan didn't even acknowledge him as he entered, leaving a pregnant pause to fill in the space between the two men. The chocolate man's brow was furrowed as he pushed on the gas. Both of the young agents stayed quiet, not wanting to start anything unusual. Without warning, Morgan began to accelerate. Reid thought it was a mistake, but as the miles per hour accumulated, so did Reid's uncertainty.
"Morgan you need to slow down." Reid's voice had worry laced into every syllable. Morgan looked straight ahead as if he had not spoken.
"Morgan! Slow down!" Reid was yelling at his older brother. He placed a tentative hand on the mans shoulder, but he brushed him off.
"No." Was his answer. Reid gave him a bewildered look.
"What do you mean no Morgan, your going ninety miles and hour and your not willing to slow down! Are you mental?" Reid twirled a finger near his head as he emphasized the last part. Morgan kept on staring straight ahead.
" I may not be," Morgan began, eyes still on the road. "But you must obviously be since you don't want to tell me whats in that folder" He gestured toward the folder that Reid held tightly in his left hand. Creases appeared as his grip grew tighter.
"I told you before Morgan, I can't tell you." His voice clear and cut as he pronounced every word with emphasis. Derek's only response was speeding even more. They had lost the others when Morgan decided to take a left turn instead of following the team on the right lane. Reid clutched the dashboard as they swerved into another lane. Amazingly, the road was deserted, and policement were no where to be found. His head hit the metal above his head as the car turned another corner.
"Ow! Morgan slow down!"
"Not until you tell me whats in that God Damn folder!"
"I already told…"
"NO you didn't, so stop hiding things Reid!"
Morgan didn't turn a corner this time, he continued ot head straight for another car.
"Morgan stop! Morgan stop this car!"
"Not until you tell me Reid." His voice was calm, too calm.
"You want to know whats in this folder!"
They were getting closer to the car. Twelve hundred feet, eight hundred feet, five hundred feet hundred feet…
"Yes!" Morgan exclaimed.
"It's another freakin case! That's whats in this folder! Strauss gave me another case to follow just in case we finished this one early! NOW STOP THIS FUCKING CAR!"
Morgan slammed on the brakes. The SUV jerked to a stop, two feet from the blue chrysler.
