Chapter 52- The way he eats
Morgan and Garcia stared at each other as they watched Reid nibble away at the cookie that Garcia had just handed him. "Why did you give him one and not me?" he asked out or Reid's hearing.
Garcia chuckled and adjusted her poise and glasses. "I was testing a hypothesis," she stated in the poshest possible voice she could muster.
Morgan humoured her and looked back at Reid, wandering what this cookie was testing. Whatever it was this cookie was making Reid look really childish, not like a professional profiler. Maybe Garcia was trying to prove how much of a kid Reid really was still. Morgan shook his head looking at Garcia and how intently she was watching Reid. If it was that, Garcia would have tried something which Reid would have noticed straight away. She could have done it much easier than leaving in her lunch break to go and get a cookie especially from the baker down the road. It wasn't that uncharacteristic, but it wasn't really Garcia behaviour. Not really. "Baby girl, what was this 'hypothesis'?" he asked watching as Garcia's eyes brightened and she released a broad smile, pleased that Morgan hadn't been able to profile it out of her.
Garcia chuckled and sat on the desk, resting her head in her hands so she was able to see him better and let of a few snaps from her camera. Morgan just raised an eyebrow and the behaviour and just deemed it a Garcia thing to do, so it couldn't really be explained and there was not need to question it.
"Reid eats like a hamster," she stated. "And I didn't notice until recently," she stated looking at the kid chewing on the cookie.
Now Morgan sat, realising the comedic potentional of Reid and the cookie and he smiled lightly as he watched Reid take another tiny nibble, savouring the food. It was kind of like him with coffee- if you touched it you had it coming. And usually he enrolled Garcia to get some revenge which cancelled out the bad deed.
Morgan chuckled once more and turned to look at Garcia who was suddenly on her feet and running towards her office. "Garcia?" he called out, trying to discreetly get her attention.
Garcia span on her feet and waved the camera over her head. "Photoshop!" she cried happily.
Morgan was looking forward to seeing Reid's face, but hoped that the kid didn't stop eating that way, cos it was a Reid way and he looked like a little kid when he ate like that.
