Okay. So I'm glad you guys liked my story enough to story alert it but I would really love to hear what you think about it. So here's the next one-shot. I had five stories already written when I posted the first chapter so the next five are already written. And I figure I'm gonna post them once a week-but that's only up to chapter 5. Hopefully I will be able to continue the one week routine after chapter 5...but we'll see.
Anyway, here's the next story. I tried to have a little fun with some of the BAU agents.
Prompt Table 30A: #001-Evidence
Enjoy.
Evidence
"Alright, who's up for some drinks?" Morgan addressed the team as he shrugged on his jacket.
"I'll have to take a raincheck, guys." "Yes." "Definitely." "I'm going to head home." "I don't know, guys." were the answers from Hotch, JJ, Garcia, and, Rossi, and Reid.
"Reid, you're going." Morgan answered for him. He looked around for the last member of the team. She was in the break room with her back to the entranceway, and talking on the phone. "What's going on there?" The team shrugged their answer.
"That's interesting." Garcia said when Emily turned around and headed toward the center of the bullpen with a small smile.
"Hey, what's going on?" Emily asked.
"What was that about?" Garcia asked curiously.
"Nothing." Emily answered with a neutral face.
"Right. So anyway, are you up for drinks? The whole team's going."
"Yeah, sure." Emily grabbed her jacket from the back of her desk chair, and the team exited the bullpen.
Bar and Grill
An hour later, Morgan, Reid, Garcia, JJ and Emily were sitting at a large round table on the back wall of the bar. Morgan and Reid came back with more beer, a couple burgers and fries.
"So, Emily," Garcia started, "what was up with the secret phone call?"
"It wasn't a secret." Emily answered.
"Really, because it sure looked secret." JJ added.
"It wasn't secret. It was just a call."
"Really? Who was it?" Morgan asked.
"It was no one."
"Well, it can't have been no one." Reid said. "Plus, the way you're deflecting the questions is only perpetuating the idea that it is a secret. You're body language while speaking on the phone suggests that it is a secret, too."
"Yeah, well, it's not a secret." Emily said as she pushed the beer away and stood from the table. "I think I'm going to head home."
Garcia who was seated beside Emily grabbed her hand and pulled her back down into her seat. "Oh, no, you don't, girlie." Garcia said. "All evidence points to you having someone new in your life."
"Well, evidence or not, I'm not telling you guys anything."
"Oh, so you admit there is something to tell." Garcia grinned.
"You might as well spit it out. You know Garcia is not going to stop." JJ said.
"Guys, there is nothing to tell." Emily pressed. The four remaining team members looked between one another with skeptical looks.
"Last Wednesday, you came in to work late." Morgan started. "You're never late. And you were failing miserably at hiding your smile."
"You were more than happy. You were overly cheerful." Reid said. "And on Thursday, when we were heading to interview the suspect's wife you took a personal call while you were driving."
"That same night on the plane, you were quiet and you were holding your phone in your hand." JJ added.
"Really, that's what you guys consider evidence? The fact that I was happy, I got a call, and I was holding my phone?" Emily said.
"You never take personal calls while on a case. In fact, you never get them." Reid explained.
"And, you never hold your phone, you're either looking at a file, out the window, or asleep on the plane. It was like you were waiting for your phone to ring, even though you were on the plane." JJ said.
"And, you sure were in a hurry to finish your paperwork and leave the office on Friday," Garcia added.
Emily downed the last of the beer in her glass and stood. "I'm leaving now, guys. Goodnight." Emily grabbed her jacket and made her way out of the bar.
"She's definitely got a new honey bear." Garcia said to the table after they watched Emily go through the doors.
"Definitely." JJ, Morgan, and Reid said at once.
So here's the end of this one. Tell me what you think.
