I know it has been forever! So sorry. But since it is now summer hopefully I can work.

"I think I should get like a metal or something." Anna states as Morgan, Reid, Garcia and her walk out of the elevator two days later at work. They all had coffee from the same shop that they had met at for breakfast an hour ago.

"You know, no one likes an annoying winner." Morgan mutters with a slight smile.

"Sorry Derek." Anna waves goodbye to them as they part their ways.

"So," Morgan starts clasping his hand onto the younger man's shoulder. "How are you and little miss strong hold doing?"

"Morgan we have officially been back together for two three days." Reid's annoyance is shown through his words as he sets his bag down on his desk.

"Your point?" Garcia asks.

Reid glares at the both of them. Lucky for him, he was not required to give an answer. At that moment Strauss walked up beside them. "Ma'am." Reid jumps looking over at her.

"Agent Reid, you no longer need to call me ma'am I am no longer your boss." Strauss smiles at the young doctor.

"I am sorry about your..." Morgan hesitates, not knowing what to say next.

"Illness, diagnosis, cancer, any will do Agent Morgan." Strauss smiles. Garcia, Reid and Morgan look down away from Strauss. "It's okay. I have come to terms with this. Now, I want to help the new Section Chief. She called me and asked for some advice and I look forward to giving it to her." The group had to work to keep there expression from becoming surprised. "It was nice seeing you. Have a good day." They nod to each other before Strauss walks up to Anna office.

"Ma'am, Erin Strauss is here to see you." Rachel, Anna's secretary says from the door.

"Oh, send her in." Anna takes off her glasses and stands as Strauss walks into the office. "Hello Mrs. Strauss."

"Please, call me Erin."

"Okay, Call me Anna." The two sit down in silence.

"So, what would you like to ask me."

"Well it was very lovely speaking with you Anna." Strauss states standing from her chair and out stretching her hand for the younger women's.

"Thank you so much for everything. I needed some help with this job."

"I should have left you more in the notes. I apologize. I guess I was just angry about leaving the bureau. You will do well in this job, I can tell."

"Thank you Erin."

"Of course. Call me again, if you ever need help." They make their way toward the office door as they talk.

"I will, thank you again." They shake hands again before Erin leaves the room. Anna takes a deep breath before walking back into the office.

"You have a case?" Anna asks walking out into the bullpen and stopping when she sees Reid's go bag on his desk.

"Yea, you didn't hear?"

"Hotch hadn't-"

Hotch walks up beside her and hands her a folder. "I was just coming to give you this. Chicago."

"Morgan's home town." Reid laughs.

"Oh, good luck Derek." Anna states glancing over at Morgan who had a huge smile on his face.

"No, I love going home. My mother and sister love having us there as well." Morgan smirked throwing his bag over his shoulder.

"Oh," Anna blinks. She never enjoyed seeing her family. It usually involved a lot of butt kissing on her part. She taps the folder on her hand before smiling up at them. "Well, be safe." She rubs Reid's arm before heading up to her office. A case would come when she needed him.
