bNote/bI want to apologize for the long wait for this chapter. It has been seriously kicking my ass. It kept getting longer and longer and finally I decided that I needed to divide the damn thing. I already have about 1.900 words on the next part and it wouldn't even have stopped there b*head/desk*/b so the thing I thought was going to be one chapter is going to be at least three.

Friday morning, Morgan woke with a huge grin on his face and at first couldn't figure out why he was so happy, but then, he remembered; he kissed Reid. His smile grew even wider and he all but jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom.

Reid was equally as happy, but still didn't quite trust it; he had a hard time really believing that Morgan wanted HIM, the skinny kid who was socially awkward. He, too, went to the bathroom, and when he saw Morgan there, looking happier than he'd ever seen the other man, he felt his heart jump.

'I did that for him; he's happy because of me.'

That thought produced an equally huge smile on his face as the one on Morgan's, and when Morgan proceeded to pull him into his arms for a hug and a hungry kiss, the smile felt like it would never come off again. When they broke the kiss in order to breathe a little easier, they pressed their foreheads together and just smiled at each other.

"This is amazing, Pretty Boy, I still can't believe I'm allowed to touch and kiss you now."

Morgan had a bright smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye.

"I know; I feel the same way."

Reid blushed and Morgan felt all his protective urges well up in him. He forced himself to stamp them down; he knew that Reid wouldn't appreciate it, and that the other man was fully capable of taking care of himself; he had done that since he was 10. He had also taken care of his paranoid schizophrenic mother since about that age.

He took a step back, letting go of Reid in the process. Reid looked crestfallen until Morgan spoke.

"I think we'd better get ready for the day, and it really wouldn't do if anybody caught us like this; I don't think either of us is ready to go public with this yet, it's still too new."

He smiled again and Reid relaxed; he had been worried that Morgan had changed his mind, but what he said made sense; he wasn't ready to let everybody in on their secret just yet, he wanted time to savor it first.

Reid nodded and went to the sink to brush his teeth while Morgan went to his room to get some clothes. He shut the door behind him to give Reid a chance to take a shower in private, even if his entire body was screaming at him that he wanted to see.

He heard the water turn on and his mind conjured up a lot of images. He shook his head to try and get them away and then started thinking about the case in order to concentrate on something else.

Soon enough, Reid was done and he told Morgan through the door that the bathroom was all his. Morgan went in and took a quick shower before going downstairs to get some breakfast. Reid was already seated at the table, so was everybody else, except for Prentiss, but she was just behind him when he came through the kitchen door.

Once everybody was seated, Hotch spoke up.

"The plan for today is like this: Reid is going with Justin, both to get some clothes for the club, but also as protection, so keep your eyes open."

He gave Reid a pointed look and the other man nodded in agreement.

"Good. Morgan, I want you to go with Brian and Garcia. She needs to get a look at the security system at Babylon and I want you along as protection for Brian; I don't want either of them to be alone until we've caught the UnSub."

Morgan and Garcia both nodded. Brian was about to protest but then he saw the pleading look in his husband's eyes and kept his thoughts to himself.

"The rest of us will go around Liberty Avenue with the sketch Justin did and see if we can find out who the guy is; maybe we can get him to agree to some form of protection detail too, if we can find him."

"Sounds good. Are we working in teams or individually?"

"I think JJ should go with Carl, me and Rossi; you and Prentiss can go together, that way, we can cover more ground."

They all nodded their ascent and then continued with breakfast before going into town in four separate cars. Reid and Justin took Justin's Jeep and Morgan, Garcia and Brian took Brian's new Lexus while the rest of the agents and Carl took the two SUV's.

Justin and Reid talked in the car on their way into Pittsburgh and suddenly Justin remembered something. He dialed Brian's phone. Both his and Brian's phones were connected to their car stereos by Bluetooth and the sound came out through the speakers in the car. They also had a microphone attached, so they didn't actually have to remove their hands from the wheel while driving.

"What's up, Sunshine?"

"Not me at the moment, but I was wondering something; can Derek hear me?"

"I hear you just fine, Justin, what did you want to know."

Morgan's voice was less clear than Brian's but still loud enough for him to make out what he was saying.

"I was just thinking that we need to know what to call you if we meet anybody we know."

"What do you mean what to call us? What's wrong with our real names?"

"Not your names, but do I say that Spencer and his boyfriend are staying with us, or Spencer and his partner?"

"Is that important? Doesn't it really mean the same thing, basically?"

Morgan sounded surprised.

"Not at all; 'boyfriend' is something you call a person you have just started dating, while a partner signifies a deeper commitment, or at least, that's my take on it."

"You're right, I'd think the same thing, a boyfriend is more casual, fun, less serious, while a partner does tell of a certain amount of commitment."

Garcia thought she would give her two cents on the subject from the back seat.

"Then I guess partner is better, if we're supposed to have been together for as long as we've really known each other, partner would make more sense, or what do you think Reid?"

"I agree, and that's another thing, we maybe should start getting used to calling each other by our first names; it would be very suspicious if we were to get caught calling each other by our last names when somebody else was around."

"You're right, Spencer, do you think you can do it? It's not easy to break a habit like that in just a day."

Brian sounded genuinely concerned.

"I think we can, what do you say, Spencer?"

They could all hear the smirk in Morgan's voice.

"Of course we can, Derek, it's just a matter of consciously thinking about it."

"Ok then, partner it is. What are you going to do when Garcia is done with the surveillance at the club?"

Justin wanted to stop the banter before it got out of hand.

"I thought I'd take Derek with me to Kinnetik while Garcia works; show him around the place and introduce him to Theodore."

"Sounds good, just make sure to tell Ted that he can't tell any of the others that we have somebody staying with us; we really don't want them showing up to meet them. You can also tell him that we are bringing them to Babylon tomorrow, that way, he can tell the gang that we'll be there."

"Good thinking, Sunshine, I'll do that. We are almost at the club, we'll see you later."

"Later."

Justin cut the connection and then got out of the car he had parked in front of a store while talking on the phone. Reid followed him and they went inside to look at some club clothes.

When they came out again, Reid looked less than convinced, but Justin kept telling him that they were perfect and that he looked hot in them. The last part made him blush furiously.
