Hotch was the first one back at work after just a week off, Derek was next sneaking Garcia in both desperate to escape his family. Despite Hotch seeing them both he let it go with the condition they both went to the mandatory pysch sessions. Gideon was back next having spent 2 weeks at the cabin with Sarah and Reid. Reid flew to Las Vegas to see his mother returning just 3 weeks after the accident. He had to go to 5 sessions with pysch instead of the 3 everyone else had to attend but he did so willingly. Emily and JJ returned together just 5 weeks later both seeing the pysch in there time off.

After 6 weeks of consults the whole team was getting itchy feet desperate to go out on a case. Then one day JJ got the call. A police department in Texas had a body count of 10. They needed a consult urgently. This was it a case that they needed to fly to, and since the unsub was wiping computers Garcia would undoubtedly be needed. Nervously JJ rounded up the team.

They sat around the round table for once the table was quiet as everyone contemplated the mission ahead.

"Let's go" Hotch ordered.

Each one of the silently grabbed there go bags, each was new reminding them once again of the crash. Everything did.

They drove as normal to the airfield. A brand new jet sat on the tarmac sparkling.

"Wow" Morgan whistled

"The jet malfunctioned so the company had to replace it" Hotch explained.

Gideon was first on it, impressed at the neutral décor he picked a seat nearest the door. JJ, Emily and Garcia were next taking 3 of the 4 seats near the kitchen. Reid joined them on the 4th seat with Morgan stretching out on the 2 on the other side. Hotch sat opposite Gideon. The pilot came in one of the ones from the FBI pilot pool he confirmed the flight plan.

Normally during take-off there would be joking, gossip or a case review this time there was just silence.

It was Reid who broke the silence.

"You know the chances of being in a plane crash is 1 in 3.4 million, now take into account the fact our planes have the best pilots and servicing record in 1 in 13 million, so the chances of us all being in a plane crash again is 1 in 5 trillion." He said, the team remained silent for a few seconds

"You know Reid…." JJ began, "I think that actually reassures me" she decided. 5 trillion to one. Those were odds she could live with.

They were odds they could all live with.
