The team took a break from their meeting while they waited for Prentiss and JJ to return. Alex pulled Reid out onto the terrace to have a private conversation.

She looked over his shoulder to make sure they wouldn't be interrupted then looked him dead in the eye. "Is there a reason why you didn't mention your connection to Oisin in there?"

Reid was a bit flustered, "because there is no reason to bring it up." He dismissed as he walked past her toward the ledge.

Alex turned with him as her face dropped. "No reason? What the hell are you talking about? You acted as if you didn't know him at all, that you were reading from his dossier. They should know."

Reid whipped back around. "Know what, Alex? My past connection to Oisin has nothing to do with this case!"

"They deserve full disclosure, even if you're right. But here's the thing, hon, once they find out your connection, and they will find out your connection, the ramifications will be tenfold when they realize that you weren't forthcoming with them in the first place." She took a breath then spoke again in a calmer attitude. "They're your team, Spencer… your friends. You should tell them."

"If it means that much to you, you tell them," he placed his hands on the edge of the balcony rail and looked down over the town.

"I know this can't be easy, but it needs to come from you," she said softly. "Think about it." She let out a sigh then turned to head back inside leaving him alone with his thoughts.

Once inside, Alex quickly glanced over the room to be certain no one took notice of their conversation. Being satisfied, she headed toward the coffee for a much-needed cup.

Rossi had just poured himself one when he noticed Garcia's eyes bulging out at him from across the room. He stared back at her and realized she was trying to get his attention casually and was surprised the entire team wasn't suspicious of her flamboyant subtleties.

"Were you trying to get my attention or should I call for an ambulance?" Rossi asked as he leaned down toward her.

"I wanted your attention," her eyes darted across the room.

"And what is so mysterious that we need to be whispering?" He asked while matching her hushed tone.

"Remember how we were talking about that one person, and you told me to keep it between us? But then you also told me to find out any information I could regarding that person and to tell you as soon as I found it?" She rambled.

"And am I to assume that you discovered something?" He surmised.

"Yes," she appeared relieved in his statement.

"Well, what is it?"

"See for yourself," she pointed to her computer screen.

Rossi quickly read the information in front of him. "Well, that explains a few things."

"And am I to assume that this to continue to remain between us?" Garcia asked.

"For now, we can talk to Aaron about it when the time is right," he put his hand on her shoulder and gave her a gentle pat. He looked to see Hotch approach Alex who was stirring her coffee.

Hotch stood there for a moment then reached for the pot. He looked back at her as she blanked out while moving the stick around her coffee for the umpteenth time. "So, um, your conversation with Spencer the other night… were you able to explain everything that you needed to?" He carefully chose his words.

Alex lightly shook her head out of her daze and forced a smile to her friend. "Um, yes," she nodded. "We had a long talk."

"And are things… okay… now?" He asked hesitantly, not wanting to encroach on their marriage.

"Uh, yeah, things are great," she continued to stir.

Hotch furrowed his eyebrows and tilted his head as he studied her. "You seem a bit distracted. Is everything alright?"

She let out a deep breath knowing she wouldn't be able to fake it. "I'm okay. I have a lot on my mind, and the sooner we can wrap this up, the better."

"I agree. Honestly, I won't be able to justify us being here much longer. My superiors and yours want this case wrapped up immediately." Hotch said then turned toward Prentiss and JJ as they entered the room.

"We miss anything good?" Prentiss asked as she approached her seat at the table.

"We were waiting for you so we can discuss our next steps," Rossi informed.

"Such as?" JJ asked.

"Colm has something big planned," Reid started. "It's all hands on deck. That means Flynn and Eugene here are going back in undercover."

"What's happening?" Prentiss questioned as everyone joined around the table.

"We aren't exactly sure," Alex looked at the team. "We were just told when and where to report, and with any of our own team. We will be briefed at our next meeting."

"This might be the break we have been looking for," Hotch announced.

Colm and Dougal stood in the middle of an open warehouse with their men gathered around the like an orchestra. Alex stood with her arms on her hips while Hotch and Morgan were behind her on either side. She glanced across the way to Reid who with Jannon. Everyone connected to Colm's crew was there.

"The groups I mentioned will be heading out to Fenit in a few hours. We will be there to meet with the shipping containers and take them into our possession. The rest will ensure our safe return here, and then the containers will be unloaded into this warehouse. I need you all to know the plan inside and out as we have discussed. If anyone louses us this mission, I will kill you personally," Colm stared everyone down.

Dougal called over a few of his guys, including Alex into a smaller meeting. "I have a few minor changes to make to the plan," he started. "Moira, you and your boys are needed over here instead." He pointed to the map with a devilish grin.
