"Agents, Bridgett Monroe is awake," said a detective.

"Dr. Cara, Morgan, and Rossi go talk to her," said Hotch.

All three of them grabbed their coats and walked out of the building. As Rossi climbed in the SUV Morgan pulled Cara off to the side.

"You couldn't have shared that back at Quantico?" asked Morgan.

"I wasn't sure. I didn't have access to the files until we were on the plane." Said Cara. "And even then I had to look into things. Don't try to find a hidden meaning Derek, because there isn't one."

Cara climbed into the SUV. Morgan shook his head and climbed in the car.

"I want to talk to her when we get there," said Cara.

"After Rossi and I," said Morgan.

Cara nodded her head but kept quiet the rest of the ride to the hospital. Cara followed Morgan and Rossi through the hospital. The elevator ride was quiet. Cara looked over Bridgett's file. The elevator opened and all three walked out and down the hall.

"Wait here," said Derek.

"I think I should be in there, if you don't mind," said Cara.

"Bridgett Monroe?" said Rossi. "I'm Special Agent David Rossi. This is Special Agent Derek Morgan. We would like to talk to you about your abduction."

The girl was looking straight at Rossi but made not move to answer him. Morgan tried talking to her.

"We're from the FBI. We're just trying to help you," he said.

The girl still didn't acknowledge the questions. Cara smiled as she set her things down on the table.

"Let me try," said Cara.

"She's not going to talk to us," said Morgan.

"Just let me try," said Cara.

Cara grabbed the chair and pulled it up next to the bed. She smiled at the girl. Cara touched Bridgett's hand to draw her attention.

When Bridgett looked at Cara, she started to sign what Morgan and Rossi had said. Morgan stood there and watched. After a half hour of watching the two women signing back and forth Morgan walked from the room. Cara joined him a few minutes later.

"She's deaf?" asked Morgan.

"Yeah. She had hearing aides before she was kidnapped. When she was brought to the hospital, she didn't have them," said Cara. "Helps to read the file.

Cara smiled as she walked away, leaving Morgan standing with Rossi.

"If she wasn't a woman with a gun, I think I'd hit her for her sarcasm," said Morgan.

"How do you know her?" asked Rossi.

"You wouldn't believe me," said Morgan.

"Try me," said Rossi.

"Ex-girlfriend," said Morgan.

"Why'd you leave her?" asked Rossi.

"I didn't. She left me," chuckled Morgan.

Three Days Later

"How are the girls?" asked Cara.

"Good. The effect of the herbs have worn off," said Rossi. "But I've got to know something."

"What?" asked Cara.

"When did you and Derek date?" he asked.

"Is that what he told you?" chuckled Cara. "We didn't date. Want to know why?"

"Because it's Derek Morgan?" chuckled Garcia.

"That. And four year olds don't date," smiled Cara. "And if he said we dated, I'm the first girl to leave him high and dry."

Cara smiled and packed up the rest of her things. Once her was packed Hotch came over to talk to her.

"How did you know it was herbs used as sedatives?" he asked.

"Because instead of Chamomile Tea, I drink Lavender Tea. Helps put me to sleep," said Cara. "Any apothecary can tell you that."

Cara was fixing to leave when Morgan stopped her. Cara smiled but kept her bag shouldered.

"What SSA Derek Morgan?" she said chuckling.

"You no staying?" he asked.

"No. I've got a job already. But the pay raise would be nice," she chuckled.

"Cara Mitchell, Ph.D. what am I going to do with you?" asked Derek.

"Buy me a decent cup of coffee," she said smiling.

"Alright. I can do that," he chuckled.

The two of them walked out of the BAU leaving the team to finish up with the files.
