After Charlotte had finished up most of her paperwork for the day, she began to collect her things and make for the door. Before she could leave, she was stopped by Garcia. "And where do you think you're going?" She said placing her hands on her shoulders. "Well, I'm headed home. I still have some unpacking to do." She shifted a bit uncomfortably at the invasion of her space. "Oh no, you're coming with us! We need to see how well you can hold your liquor!" She said, removing her hands and putting her arm around her shoulder. "I don't know, I'm not a big drinker. Besides, is that really ok considering we have work tomorrow?" She slowly shrugged off the technical annalists grip, starting once again towards the door. "Oh don't worry, we'll go easy on you, this time!" Just then Morgan sauntered over and placed his arms across his chest. "Hey mama, you talked this one into a night on the town yet?" A big grin grew on his face as he talked. "Can't get her to budge. Maybe try layin' some of that Derick Morgan charm on her!" She felt her back press to the counter as the two cornered her. "Thanks for the offer, but clubs aren't really my thing. Have fun though."
Reid slung his messenger bag over his shoulder as he made towards the door. He picked up speed when he saw how Garcia and Morgan had Charlotte cornered by the coffee machine, looking at her like she was a shiny new toy. "Come on kid, everyone is going." He kept his head down as he breezed by the three avoiding the inevitable invitation that would come if they spotted him. "Really? Everybody?" Charlotte looked at the genius speeding out the door. "Even him?" Morgan and Garcia followed her eyes and landed on Reid. "Hey Pretty Ricky! You forget we were going out tonight?" He stopped dead in his tracks. Busted. He turned around and rubbed the back of his neck. "Oh, hey guys. You know I would love to go out to a loud bar, drink loads of alcohol and socialize with people who are only able to function at half their brain capacity, but ive got a new book I want to read." he gave a glance at Connors, silently cursing her for alerting his two teammates to his hasty escape "Aww come on Reid. You can always stay home and read a book. Come out and hang with us." Garcia started gently tugging at the strap of his messenger bag.
Charlotte gave a small smirk. "She's like a kid." She thought to herself. It was kinda funny watching him squirm. If he didn't want to go, why didn't he just say so and go home? She watched Morgan join in the prodding. "Come on Reid. don't you wanna treat our newest member to a good time tonight? Let's give her a proper initiation." She watched him glance over to her and clear his throat. "Oh, like my first day here? No offense Morgan but if its anything like that than you can count me out." What happened on his first day? "Whats wrong pretty boy? Slowing down in your old age?" Reid gave a half-smile and looked at him. "Hilarious." He then turned to walk away.
Charlotte gave a small smirk. "I'll go if he does." Reid felt Morgans strong hand on his shoulder, pulling him back to the group. He gave one last longing glance at the door and sighed. His fate was sealed.
