The billing formalities were quickly handled by Sister Laurie, while another Sister, introduced as Sister Eugenia, began getting paperwork and white cotton 'uniforms' out of several supply cabinets.
"Alright, Agents," Sister Sharon addressed the group. "Usually we hold a formal orientation session for our new arrivals. However, under the circumstances, I am going to give you the quick and dirty version."
"Sister Eugenia is handing each of you a schedule of daily activities we engage in here at The New Life Yoga Center. You are welcome to join in any or all of them. Our Sisters will be happy to give you any guidance you need. If you choose not to participate, we do have a small library you may wish to visit or you may wish to wander about our grounds. And, Agent Rossi, I understand you may enjoy spending time in our kitchen with the Sisters who work there."
"All our guests are expected to dress appropriately," she continued. "Sister Laurie will be issuing each of you a white cotton top and trousers set. It is yours to keep."
"And, one last item. We are a non-violent group, which lives by its beliefs. I do understand that you are required by your job to carry firearms. While we aren't asking you to discard them completely, I am asking that you keep them out of sight as much as possible."
"Any questions?"
"Where are the yoga classes held?" Garcia was examining the schedule.
"In the dining hall," Sister Sharon replied. "The tables get moved to one side for the classes, and then we move them back for mealtimes."
"Tend the chickens?" Hotch questioned an item on the schedule.
"We keep a flock on the grounds," Sister Laurie explained. "The coop is located behind the dining hall. Some of our guests find it soothing to help feed them or to help gather eggs. We also offer our guests the opportunity to help paint the chicken coop, if they so desire."
"Don't worry, Kid," Morgan whispered to Reid. "Seeing as how your weapon will be out of reach, I'll be sure to protect you from the livestock!"
Reid just glared at him.
