So...the last chapter! One fun, but pretty short one-shot with the OGs. Thank you for reading, and please review!
"Did you know that-"
"Please stop, Reid!" Morgan said in exasperation. "We don't need to hear any more serial killer facts."
"But-"
"Just shut up."
"Ooh...that'd be a good Code S," Elle pointed out.
"Nope. We already have one that I desperately need," JJ commented, walking into the bullpen with a bunch of folders, followed by Hotch and Gideon.
"What do we have now?" Morgan asked with a sigh.
Hotch replied with a curt, "Serial killer targeting families in Iowa. Wheels up in 30."
"Oh! Did you know that 50% of family killers experienced-"
"Zip it," Elle muttered.
"What?"
"You've been bogging us down with facts for the past hour!"
"No, you...that's a perfect Code Z! We finished all the codes!" Reid exclaimed.
"Yay. Now we can use it against you," Morgan pointed out.
"He does have a point. You probably shouldn't have done that," Gideon said, amusement sparkling in his eyes.
"Oh, come on," JJ said, "give him a break. He is a walking computer, after all. All of that knowledge has to go somewhere."
And so they continued, bantering and jabbing at one another until Hotch announced that they had to go. They walked to the elevator together, go bags in hand, and left to save families. Save lives.
Always, as a team.
