After a while on the jet. Penelope had gone toward the back quietly. Kind of near where Derek sat as well as Rossi but yet separate. She sat down on the seat that she had chosen slowly and rummaged in her go bag for a blanket. She got chilly when she flew with the team and liked something warm around her with one of her pillows. Then she settled and put her eyes mask on after carefully taking her glasses off. She felt like a nap while they were in flight. She felt Derek gently touch her forehead and said " I just want a nap sugar i'm fine. You know I don't sleep well in hotel rooms sometimes."
He nodded. " Get some rest sweetness." Then he tucked the blanket up around her and went back to his seat again.
Dave had a file open in his hand that he hadn't responded to. A request for him to talk to some criminal justice students about hostage negotiation. He would think it over and run it by Morgan later. He put the folder back in his go bag and leaned back in his chair . His eyes closed and his head rested against the soft leather. He exhaled softly as he relaxed into his own sleep.
JJ said " Rossi and Garcia are both sound asleep. Wonder if they are feeling ok. Stress can make people get rundown after all."
" I don't know but I am leaving it alone. Let them be, when they are ready to talk they will. I don't want to hurt friendships by getting involved in whatever they feel. He could just be giving her a kitten and enjoying spending time with a friend ."
" You're right. I think everybody just needs to be home and get some rest. This was a very long and intense case and we all need a little time away from each other for a few days." Reid commented quietly. " When people become too familiar with each other sometimes friction can develop because they begin to wear at each other's nervous system. Some space and time will be beneficial to us all."
