Author's Note: I still don't own anything.

The sun was annoyingly bright, and Zapata groaned as she walked up from the subway station. How could it be this bright out, it was barely 6:30. "Weller does this willingly? Every day?" she thought. She loved her job, but she wasn't exactly excited about being at work this early on a Monday (or any day, if she was being honest with herself.) "Patterson better have that coffee she promised," Zapata mumbled out loud.

"Hey, Tasha!" the security guard greeted her warmly. He always had a smile for everyone that walked into the building, and a seemingly limitless memory for names and faces. "You're here early today. Hope that isn't a bad sign," he said, laughing.

Zapata couldn't help but give a little laugh; his positive attitude was contagious. "No, at least I hope not. But you know it's never actually a slow day here." She gave a small wave goodbye and was almost to the elevator when she turned back. "Hey, Wilson, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure, you know I got you. Whatta need?"

Tasha bit her lip, giving a quick glance around. "Um, when Agent Weller or Jane gets here, can you just call me? Give me a heads up?"

Wilson looked at her suspiciously, "Sure, but why? You in trouble, Tash?"

Zapata brushed it off. "No, nothing like that, we, uh, we've got a little surprise, to thank him for giving us the weekend off."

"Well, he should be here soon, I guess, but I'll call up," Wilson still looked a bit confused at the request, but there was no harm in letting her know when Weller was on his way up.

Zapata smiled warmly at her friend, "Thanks." Now that she had a plan in mind, this early morning may not be so bad. It may not be much, but those few minutes could make a difference.

As Tasha made her way into the office, she found Patterson, already there. The blonde was smiling excitedly, but all Tasha noticed were the two cups of still steaming coffee in her hands.

"Do you think they'll come in together? Oh my god, do you think they spent the night together? Or maybe they'll purposely come in separately. I'm sure they'll at least hold hands or something, they'll probably kiss. They clearly are together, no matter how much they'll try to deny it," the words tumbled out of Patterson's mouth.

Tasha just narrowed her eyes, glaring at her friend. "How can you be so… happy?"

"Caffeine," she answered perkily, handing a cup over to Tasha. "Besides, it shouldn't be much longer now.

Over an hour later, there was still no sign of Weller or Jane. Tasha grumbled. The coffee had placated her for a while, but now the realization that she had just gotten to work early for no reason was setting in. "Patterson, I thought you said he got here early. No one else is here, not even Reade."

"He is!" Patterson exclaimed. She quickly typed on her computer, and pulled up their time sheets. "Look – 7:04, 7:01, 6:55, 7:06, 7:00… It goes on and on! The latest he's gotten here is 7:17 and that was a few months ago. Even Jane, she's almost always here by now – 7:22, 7:36, 7:29."

"Do these people hate sleep or something? Maybe they decided to stay at the beach another day? Give us a four day weekend, and just forgot to tell us?"

"They'll be here," Patterson let out a small yawn, the only crack in her otherwise upbeat appearance this morning. "Besides, I was able to go through a lot of the new information my team uncovered during the weekend, and start getting it sorted. There may be a new lead with the star and circle tattoo on her leg."

Zapata sighed, "So I've been sitting here, just waiting for them to show up, and you've actually been working?"

Patterson glanced around, "Well, yeah…"

Zapata turned back to her desk, sighing, before pulling out some paperwork that she'd left from the last case. As much as she hated to admit it, Patterson was right. She should at least try and get something done while waiting.

Reade and a few other agents slowly started to file their way in, but it was after 9 and no one had seen or heard anything from Weller or Jane. The three agents had started to discuss a few leads, comparing notes on paperwork, when Zapata's phone started to ring.

"Hey, Tash, both of them are on their way up now." Wilson's friendly voice greeted her on the other line. "You know, strange that they're both – "

"Thanks, Wilson," Tasha cut him off. They'd been so busy, she'd almost forgotten the whole reason they'd gotten there so early. "Patterson! They're on their way up! Together."

"Really?" Patterson looked at Zapata and then towards the elevator bay. "How do you know?"

Tasha gave a sly smile. "I asked Wilson to let me know… so I could do this," Tasha turned her monitor towards Patterson, as the SIOC elevator footage filled the screen, with Jane and Kurt in plain view.

Patterson let out an excited gasp. "This is brilliant!" she exclaimed. "Look at the two of them!"

They were alone in the elevator, with Jane standing towards the back, but Weller, instead of standing beside her, was standing directly in front of Jane, looking down at her. When Weller reached up, cupping Jane's cheek, Patterson found herself biting her lip in excitement. "Come on, come on, kiss already!" she exclaimed, her smile widening every moment.

"I'm so gonna win this bet," Tasha muttered under her breath. "Yes!" she shouted, a bit louder than she intended. "Pay up, Patterson. They kissed."

Patterson slapped Tasha playfully on the shoulder. "That doesn't count. Oh, shoot, close it, close it! They're almost here!" Patterson reached over Tasha's shoulder, frantically trying to hit the exit button. "Wait, did he just… awwww." Patterson paused as she noticed the gentle way Weller rubbed Jane's back.

Zapata quickly hit the exit, closing the screen and once again displaying the standard FBI desktop. "Let's go…. Say hello," Tasha said, with a twinkle in her eye.

Both women walked over to where Weller and Jane now stood, barely able to contain their excitement.

"Hey you two, nice of you to join us."

So… you know what I said about the "last chapter"…. Apparently I lied. There's at least one more. But when I started with this idea, I just wrote so much, and this seemed like a better chapter break. But, probably won't be too much longer, as long as that 'real life' thing doesn't interfere too much.
