A/N: So I'm back from my work Christmas Party… So it's rather early in the night so I figured I'd pump out at least another chapter… maybe more if I'm feeling it.
When the team arrived at 8 AM, JJ knew her and Emily would need to be fast about telling Garcia about their newfound relationship because by the time the briefing was done, the wheels would be up in the air faster than most cases.
"Morning guys. Can you meet me in the conference room in about 20? We've got a case, hope you've got your go bags," JJ announced.
"Yeah no problem Jayj," Emily answered back giving JJ her signature smile when no one else was looking, except Garcia was.
"Hey JJ, Emily, I need you guys to look at something real quick in my lair," Garcia said quickly and quietly as to not draw attention to the situation. JJ shot a quick wink to her partner in crime.
"Yeah sure Garcia, be right there," JJ answered. The two women waited for Garcia to get to the room where she did all her working on the computers and then started to go down there.
"Have you thought about how to drop this on her without her freaking out and telling everyone else?" JJ asked quietly to Emily as they walked down the hall.
"Uhm, I think pinky swearing her, I mean its Garcia, she'd go for that right? You're her best friend, you should know!!" Emily exclaimed.
"Haha, right. Well here we go," JJ retorted as they walked through her office.
"So, which one of you smiling, winking ladies wants to tell me what in God's name is going on? Hmm… JJ? Emily? What exactly happened this weekend?" Garcia pounced as she asked the questions the two weren't sure how to answer.
"Pen, you can't tell the team yet, promise us, you won't tell anyone. And Emily wants to know if pinky swearing still works with you?" JJ asked laughing.
"I'm not a kid anymore! I won't tell the team what? Ohhh, wait. You guys, oh finally! Thank you. I thought you two would never realize your feelings for each other. Come on! I'm not even a profiler for goodness sakes!" Garcia exclaimed. She was happy to see the exhaustion gone and the sparking back in her girls' eyes. They had been unhappy for so long, and now they had each other and had no reason to be unhappy at least not the way they had been.
"Thank you, Pen. Ok we have to go to the briefing, come on, we're heading to New Orleans," JJ mentioned. She was nervous about this case. She knew that New Orleans was a large city but it was a big possibility they would run into Will especially if he had gotten his job back as a detective.
"Wait, you never told me how it went with Will, JJ," Garcia asked concerned. They were so caught up in the happiness of the new relationship over the weekend that JJ had forgotten to call Penelope to tell her how everything was going.
"He actually left me, can you believe it? He wrote me a note while I was at Emily's Friday, saying that he knew I wasn't happy, and that he wasn't happy either and that he was going back home," JJ explained leaving out the details of Will knowing her feelings for Emily as they were now almost to the conference room.
