"You have no idea how glad I am that the excitement is over," Heather took a deep breath once they got outside. "Do you guys see stuff like this all the time?"

"More times than we would like!" JJ told her.

As they reached the edge of the staff parking lot, Hotch turned to Heather. "Thank you for your hospitality," he said. "You helped make this investigation pleasanter than usual."

"I can't imagine that any of your investigations are pleasant," Heather told him. "But, I am glad I could help." She held out her hand and, after a moment's hesitation looking into her eyes, he took it and held it.

"Don't worry about your son," Heather told him.

"How – ?" Hotch asked.

"It is a son, isn't it? Heather asked. "You're working hard to set a good example for him. Don't worry. I have a feeling you are doing just fine!"

Hotch just stared at her as she took her hand back.

"JJ," Heather turned to her next. "Thank you. And, please thank Ms. Garcia as well. She really did an outstanding job."

JJ hugged her. "I have a feeling Penelope is going to want to meet you," she said. "Is it okay if we call and set something up?"

"Shopping, maybe? I'd really like that," Heather assured her.

As Hotch and JJ headed toward one of the SUVs, Heather turned to Rossi.

"My hot date?" Heather smiled at him and shared a hug with him.

Rossi smiled ruefully. "I never even got to second base," he lamented.

"Maybe next time," Heather promised. Rossi looked hopeful.

"I hear you won a bet with Reid," Morgan interjected. "What were you betting on?"

"You had better ask Dr. Reid about that one," Heather smiled and hugged him. "I'm sure he'll be happy to share with you."

"You won a bet with Reid?" Alex sounded amazed. "I'm impressed, and I can't wait to hear about it!" She gave Heather a hug. "See you at my next lecture?"

"Come on, I'm driving," Rossi declared, leading the way across the lot with Morgan and Alex following.

Reid and Heather were left standing together at the edge of the lot.

Reid glanced at Heather and then looked at the ground. "Do you ever – you know – see people on your own time?' he mumbled. "Like, when you're not - working?"

Heather smiled at him. "Anytime I'm not here on the property, I'm on my own time," she said. "Actually, I have tickets to a lecture this coming Tuesday. It's for a class I'm taking."

"Tuesday probably isn't good," Reid told her. "I'm trying to get an invitation to attend a presentation at the University on Tuesday."

"You mean the lecture by Dr. Lauren Michaels, about Recent Studies in Human Sexuality?" Heather asked. "It's being sponsored by the Psych Department."

"Uh – Yeah," Reid stuttered. "But it's only open to Grad Students, Post-Docs, and faculty."

"And their guests," Heather replied. "I have two tickets."

Reid stared at her in amazement.

Heather smiled and took a business card out of her pocket. She turned it over and showed him something written on the back. "Tell you what, Dr. Reid. This is my personal cell phone number. Think about it and give me a call."

She tucked the card into his shirt pocket.

"See you around, Dr. Reid," Heather turned and started walking away.

Reid took a step forward and called after her, "It's – It's Spencer!"

Heather stopped and did a half turn to look over her shoulder at him. "Then you had better get used to calling me Christine," she responded.

Standing next to the SUV, Morgan and Rossi exchanged incredulous looks.

Morgan spoke first, "Am I mistaken, or did he just get a date with her?"

"You're losing your touch, man," Rossi couldn't resist rubbing it in. "And so am I!" he muttered to himself as he climbed into the SUV with Morgan and Alex and drove off.

Well, I finally reached my conclusion. Please note that I ended with Reid still under the impression that Heather/Christine is a high class call girl.

To everyone who stayed with me through to the end, despite my problems with my computer - Thank You! And, I am open to any comments!
