Chapter 3
As Reid entered the bullpen he could see everyone still hanging round his desk. What did he expect. He smiled to himself as he headed towards the kitchen; it felt nice knowing something the team didn't. Well obviously he knew lots the team didn't but this was something they wanted to know not just his constant reel of random facts. Reid made himself an extra sweet coffee, he would need the additional sugar if he was to stand up to their barrage of questions. He smirked as he walked back to his desk, trying to act as if nothing had happened, ignored them all and sat down reaching out for a file from his pile. But his arm was intercepted by Morgan.
"What you doing?"
"Getting her number coz if you don't call her tonight I will." Morgan replied with a smile and a wink to the others, Reid knew he was teasing him as usual but snapped back before he could stop himself.
"Leave her alone she's not you type"
"What does that mean? She looked my type from where I was standing. Besides there is no way you can handle a woman like that." Morgan loved to tease Reid
"First of all she is far too intelligent for you and second she is my sister so I'm not interested and as her brother I'm telling you you're not interested either. Now if you don't mind I've lots to get on with." Reid kicked himself for biting but he knew how Morgan treated woman and Amy wasn't going to be another notch on his bedpost. Everyone backed off and left Reid to cool down.
Morgan followed Garcia back to her office.
"So baby girl let's do some digging."
"My sweet addiction I am not doing your dirty work for you. If you want to find out more about Amy you will have to ask her when we go out tomorrow. If you ask me she seems really cool, can't quite see how her and Reid got on so well. But then again it is always the quiet ones that you have to watch."
"Sugar I know you will look her up as soon as I walk out of here. You have done it to all of us. I remember when Prentiss joined you did us all a brief summary. Come on!" he pleaded. Garcia looked at his beautiful puppy dog eyes and caved in.
"Ok a little pick and nothing leaves this room. I mean it or I will spank you!"
"Is that supposed to put me off?" Morgan smiled as Garcia busied herself searching through files on the screen.
"Oh the poor love. Ok she was put into the care system after losing her parents and twin sister in a house fire when she was 8. Her father was English and mother American so she has duel-nationality. None of her mother's family could be traced and it looks like it took a while to trace her Dad's family. Wow she doesn't need to work her dad was near enough a millionaire and it's all hers. At 16 her Aunt took her in, hence the move to the UK. She was already studying for her first degree having finished High school at 14, so another baby genius huh. She carried on studying 'til joining the police. Was fast tracked. Studied at the same time. Some seriously sick cases and some undercover jobs – lapdancer, secretary in a fraud case, oh that's odd. Her last case is locked down."
"What does that mean?"
"My love it means someone somewhere has decided that it is need to know only and we don't need to know. Now go and get some work done and stop wasting my time. You can only set foot back in here today to ravish me!" She smiled sweetly as Morgan turned and left. Garcia knew Morgan hated being out of the loop but even by his standards he was acting out of character. Amy seemed nice, more than that really, but she wasn't a profiler maybe he saw something she didn't.
Morgan strolled back into the bullpen. Reid guessed what he'd been up to with Garcia, he hadn't answered their questions so he'd got Penelope to look Amy up. Why did he have to lose his temper? Now he had lost control of the information. Reid watched Morgan sit down. He walked round to him.
"Sorry" Reid muttered
"Look kid I was out of line. She's your sister I would be just as defensive of Des and Sarah so forget it. I'm sorry. I guess none of knew how strongly you felt about Amy. Ok we've all seen the picture but you never talk about her."
Reid looked down at his feet " I guess I thought Amy had left me like everyone else when we lost contact, stupid now I know why. I should have known she wouldn't have stopped writing unless she had a reason. "
"How you feel about her joining the BAU?" Morgan cared for Reid as a big brother should and was worried. He knew the past has a way of coming back to get you when you least expect it.
"Weird" was all Reid said before he sat down.
