Derek's POV

At the station, Hotch had us all doing paperwork while we waited on some kind of insight on the case at hand. 3 hours into the paperwork. I'm bored out of my mind. I look up at Emily. She's busy reading some case file. I sigh. Man I wish we could be doing something much more productive then this. Hotch is sitting by JJ. He has his usual frown on his face, as he flips through some files. I get up to get some coffee. I lean against the counter. My phone starts vibrating.

"Morgan."

"Is this my chocolate bunny?" I smile.

It's no one other then Garcia. "Hey baby girl." I hear her smile over then phone. "Hey. What are you up to?" I frown. "Paperwork." "Oh." She groans. "Finding anything?" "Nope." "Huh." She says kind of surprised. "You got something for me?" I hoped she did. Anything would be a good lead right now. "Sorry. Nothing. I've been searching, but I haven't found anything yet." "Oh." I said, a little let down. "Well. Keep looking." "Right." She said, as I went to hang up the phone. "Hey Derek?" She said, stopping me from doing so. "What's up?" "Um. Well. I was just wondering. Have you talked to Reid at all today?" I felt a little sad when she said his name.

"Talk to him about what?" She was quiet for a second. "Just you know. Stuff." I raised my eye brow. "Stuff? Stuff like what?""You know. Stuff about you guys." "Garcia I'm lost." "Okay. Well forget about then." "Wait Garcia?" "Gotta go." She said, as she hung up. I stared at the phone for a minute. Does she know? If she did, how did she find out? "Something wrong?" I heard someone say. I looked up see that it was Rossi. "Um. No. nothing." He walked up to the counter. "Tired?" He said, pouring himself a cup. "Yeah. Just a little bit." "Reid kept you up all night?" I stopped drinking my coffee. "Okay. What is it with you, and Reid and I's situation?" "Situation?" He said, sitting his coffee down. "You think of Reid as a situation?" I sighed. "No. You know that's not what I meant." "Then what did you mean?" "Listen Rossi. I don't need this right now." I said, walking off.

"Too bad. Because Strauss sure wants to know about it." I stopped walking. I turned to him so quick and sharp it made my head spin. "How did you know about that?" He walked to me slowly. "How do you think I know about it? She wanted to know why you haven't been returning her phone calls" This couldn't be. How in the hell did Rossi find out? Why would she just up and tell him about us? I was frozen in my thoughts. "Hey." I felt a hand on my shoulder. I whipped around to see Reid standing there. "Hotch said, that he needs you guys in the bullpen." I just looked at him stupid for a moment.

"You okay Morgan?"

I couldn't talk.

This was the very reason that I did what I did. I was so scared of the fact that if I stayed with him this would happen. I'm not even with him any more, and this happens anyway. "Morgan?" He says again. "Um. Yeah. I'm fine." I said, walking past him without another word. What could I say? Listening to Hotch talk about how we had got a lead on Higgsworth. My mind kept going back to what Rossi said. "So. Morgan? You and Reid will go talk to the mother. Rossi and I will got talk to the kid." I looked at him as if I had heard every word he said. "Alright." As we walked to the parking lot. Reid stopped me. "Morgan. You sure you okay?" "Yeah. Why do you think somethings wrong?" "The way your looking. You seem so spaced out. Like your not even here." I frowned.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." I lied too quick.

"Lie."

He called me on it.

"I'm not lying." I said, walking off.

"Yes you are. You could never lie to me. You suck at it." "Oh?" I say, turning around to face him. "Coming from the guy who never lied once in his life."What makes you think I haven't lied about anything?" "Because you can't lie Reid. It's not in your nature." "My. Nature?" He said, walking in front of me. "Yes. You Spencer Reid can not lie on any circumstances, without giving it away." "I don't think that." I laughed. "I do." "Maybe you can see the lie because you know me all too well." I stopped walking, and looked at him for a long good minute. "Maybe so." "Lets go do this job." He said, walking back ahead of me, and to the car. "Yeah. Lets." I said, right behind him.
