Spencer Reid was usually one of the first agents to leave for the day due equally to the fact his work ethic was ostentatious and he prided himself in being able to finish a 10 page report in under an hour (much to the dismay of his fellow team members). So it was out of character one evening when he finally wrapped up his files around sunset. He looked around the bullpen for the first time in hours and realized his team had all but abandoned him. It was a nice day out and they had the weekend off, he really couldn t hold it against them.

He packed up his satchel, checking his phone for any missed messages. As per usual, his inbox was empty. He wasn t too offended, he didn t have plans to hang out with anyone that weekend. Actually he was rather looking forward to a weekend alone with his favorite twenty books.

Reid tucked his ear buds into his ears, and headed toward the elevator. The car chimed as it descended to the parking garage.
The car stopped and doors opened, Reid made his way into the garage fishing his keys from his satchel. He approached his car and happened to notice something odd. Emily s SUV was still parked in the garage a row over from him. He was sure he had witnessed her head out over an hour before hand. He shrugged and assumed she had decided to go for drinks or something with another team member. Yet another outing he wasn t invited too.

He had already gotten into his Prius when he noticed movement coming from Emily s vehicle. He did a double take in his rear-view mirror to be sure he had observed what he thought. Sure enough, someone was in the SUV! Spencer lept into action, springing from his vehicle, gun drawn. He approached the SUV from the side slowly. He noticed the movement again as the unsub came into view. The unsub was wearing a dark colored hooded sweatshirt to conceal their identity. Reid side stepped closer as his pulse raced.

"FBI! GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" he yelled as authoritatively as he could muster under the stress.

The unsub stopped rummaging around the back of the vehicle and put their hands up. Spencer was grateful they were complying. Then to his confusion, another set of hands raised up from the back seat. He paused for a moment deciding how to proceed, seeing as he was outnumbered. But he also seemed to be the only one who was armed.

"I m going to open the side door, I want you both to get out slowly!" Reid demanded.

"Spencer?!" a voice yelled back. Reid froze in his tracks, frowning slightly.

"Jesus Christ Reid! You scared the shit out of us!" Emily yelled as her head popped up from under the unsub who was obviously lying on top of her.

"Emily?" Spencer questioned, holstering his gun. Suddenly the unsub he had originally noticed turned around, pulling the hood from her head. "JJ is that you!?"

After another moment of rummaging around and sheer confusion Emily and JJ emerged outside of the vehicle, somewhat out of breath. Reid blushed at their appearance, avoiding eye contact the best he could.

Who the hell would try to steal a vehicle from the FBI parking garage, Spence?! JJ asked through hurried breaths. Her hair was not quite as disheveled as Emily s but Reid could fill in the blanks. He shuffled his feet against the concrete, kicking at invisible pebbles.

"I just thought . I don t know Jayje! Who the hell Reid trailed off searching for the right words. He wasn t sure if he wanted to finish his question or not. He decided to simply nod in their direction and said, Well I mean, I didn t expect it was you two.

"I guess it was sort of childish," JJ smiled as she nudged Emily jokingly. "Guess the cat s out of the bag, babe."

"Is it though? I mean, it doesn t have to be! I won t tell anyone. I mean, it s not like I saw anything!" Reid confessed reassuringly.

"Reid, it s fine. I told her we shouldn t fool around at work but I also wasn t going to turn her down," Emily grinned as she pulled JJ in and planted a long kiss on the blonde s lips, much to Reid s embarrassment. Reid attempted to advert his eyes as he awkwardly twiddled his thumbs waiting to regain their attention. After a moment he finally cleared his throat loudly, they pulled apart and stared at him as if they d totally forgotten he was standing there.

"Well, I guess we should all get going. Ummm, have a good weekend ladies," Reid forced a small smile.

"No way! Let us buy you a round of drinks at least. I mean you did just stop a car jacking!" Emily laughed. She punched Reid in the arm playfully and he rubbed at it uncomfortably.

"No thanks. If it s all the same to you guys, I d rather just go home and ignore any of this ever happened," Reid confessed.

"Fine, you re loss though," JJ quipped as she laced Emily s hand in hers, leaning against the older agent s shoulder. Reid noticed the display of affection and frowned slightly. He realized their relationship all but eliminated any chance he ever had with JJ. Not that he wasn t happy for his friends but he had always had a sort of crush on the blonde. He was, however, slightly relieved that men in general weren t her type and it hadn t just been an aversion against him.

They said their goodbyes and Reid headed back to his car. He sat in silence for a moment processing what he had just witnessed. He laughed at the misunderstanding, placed his keys in the ignition and pulled out of the garage waving at Emily and JJ as he passed their car.

"Are we going to tell him he s the last to find out?" Emily asked JJ as they waved to their younger team member.

"No way!" JJ just shook her head and laughed as she got into the passenger seat. "He s always the last to be let in on a joke. Let him have this one."
