Twenty minutes later Reid arrived at the bullpen of the BAU. SSA Derek Morgan pproachd him and said, "You are late, pretty boy."

"Oh, by five minutes," Reid retorted.

"You are still late. Why?"

"Oh, damn," Reid said as he put a hand on his head.

"What?" Morgan asked.

"I left my badge at home," Reid answered.

"That's even better. You must be getting some," Morgan laughed.

"Shut up," said Reid just as his phone rang. "Oh, good. I am so glad you called. I left my-"

"-your badge at home. I know," Alice finished for him. "I'm riding up in the elevator to your office right now, with it in my hand."

"What? How'd you get past security? I thought they always called the agent to confirm relationship before they sent you up." Morgan was studying the young man's face for any tells. He didn't see anything and it annoyed him.

"I don't know. They searched me and did a brief background check to make sure I wasn't like a terrorist or something and I was who I said I was. Then they told me the floor and let me go up," Alice replied to him.

"Wow. You did all that for me? How long did that take?"

"Not very long. Maybe five minutes. They work fast here. And yes. I did all of it for you."

"Why?"

"Well, I didn't want you to have to take the subway all the way home, grab your badge, go all the way back, and have Hotch yell at you for being late. Now, I know that you don't want the team to meet me yet and I don't mind that. So you can just meet me by the elevator door, okay?"

"You know," Reid said as he thought about it, "I don't mind so much any more. I'll be out in a sec."

"Okay," she said as they both hung up.

"I'll be right back," he told a confused Morgan as he walked out towards the elevators.

She arrived at his floor smiling. He didn't mind if they found out. That was great.

When the doors opened, Reid greeted her with a warm smile and a "Hi, honey."

"Hi. Hey, darling. Can i ask you something?" she asked as she walked toward him.

"Sure. Go for it."

"How long have you worked for the FBI?"

"By now, I'd have to say four years," he answered.

"So, you have been working here for four years and you forget your FBI ID badge? That truly amazes me. I thought you were a genius."

"Well, considering the activities we were involved in last night, it is plausible that I might forget something as trivial as an ID."

"Well, if it happens again, I might just have to give up on said activities."

"Oh, with me and what you were saying last night, I doubt you will."

"Oh, you are so conceeded!" she giggled as she playful slapped his chest with the ID.

"I am, aren't I?" Reid laughed, reaching for the badge.

"Ah, ah, ah," Alice said as she held it out of reach. "Say the magic words."

He leaned in, kissed her, and said, "I love you Alice."

"Well, those weren't really the words I was looking for," she said handing him the badge, "but they are magic. I love you too, Spence."

Back in the bullpen, Morgan stood there, mouth agape, as he watched the events before him unfold.

"What are you staring- oh, my God." Emily had seen the pair as well. "Is that Reid? And a girl? Kissing? How did that happen? I thought I just went to the bathroom. How long was I gone?"

"I-I-I don't know," Morgan said breathlessly. "But I'd like to find out." He walked through the glass doors with Emily on his tail. When he got to Reid and Alice he said, "I knew you were getting some. Well, what are you waiting for? Introduce us to your woman."

Both turning the "Reid Red" Spencer said, "Alice, this is SSA Derek Morgan and SSA Emily Prentiss. Morgan, Emily, this is my girlfriend Alice Micheals."

"Hi," Alice said. "I've heard so much about you guys."

Emily replied with, "I wish we could say the same about you."

Behind the group a voice said, "Hey ya'll. Where's the party?"

"No where without you, baby girl," Morgan said as everyone turned to face Penelope Garcia, the team's technical analyist.

"Hm, you got that right, sugar." She paused for a moment and then exclaimed, "Oh! Alice, I presume."

"You presume right. You must be Penelope. Spencer's told me all about you too," she said with a genuine smile.

"Likewise honey," she smiled back.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold the phone. Reid, you told Garcia about this but you didn't tell me? And baby girl, you didn't tell me either? Ouch. That hurts," Morgan said, shocked.

Reid took a deep breath, then responded dryly with, "I didn't tell you Derek, because I knew exactly how you'd react. I told Garcia because I can tell her anything and she won't make fun of me for it."

Garcia jumped in and said, "And I didn't tell you because I promised Reid I'd keep it between us."

As soon as the conversation ended SSA Aaron Hotchner and Agent Jennifer Jareau walked through the double doors that lead to the bullpen. "We have a case," Hotch said matter-of-factly. "Round-table room for the briefing."

"Where are we headed?" Morgan asked.

JJ told him, "Golconda, Nevada. Come on."

"Okay," Reid said. "I gotta go. Love you." He kissed her briefly and she walked to the elevator.

"Reid?" Hotch said, eyebrows raised. "Never mind. Tell me later." JJ simply looked confused. It was silent for a few minutes.

"You're from Nevada," Emily said breaking the silence, "right Reid?"

"I'm from Las Vegas though. Golconda's up north."

"Oh-kay."

When Alice arrived back at Reid's appartment, she looked around and sighed. She had met some of his team today and he had told her he loved her! And she said it back! His eyes glowed more than usual when she had, if that was even possible. Damn. I have to check my e-mail. I'm sure Spencer won't mind me using his computer.

She logged on and found an e-mail from the same address that had sent her several strange e-mails in the weeks before. Great. Another one. It's probably from Danny. He pulls stuff like this all the time. However, when she read the e-mail, she wasn't so sure. It said:

My Darling,

Why are you ignoring me? I have always been so good to you. Is it because you're going out with him? Why would you do that to me? The only way for you to see I am the only one for you is to end it with Spencer Reid.

End it, or I will.

It wasn't signed. "It doesn't mean anything," she told herself confidently. After a few seconds she sighed, "I wish I could believe that. If I get another one, I'll talk to Spencer. Until then, this isn't serious." She shut down the computer and and tried to forget about it.
