Reid POV
Making our way back into the bullpen, we spent hours looking through all the tapes that Higgsworth had stashed under the sink. By the time it was over, we were all sick to our stomachs. Derek, who had been silent through the whole thing, went inside to get some air. Now that the tapes were finally watched, and over with, it was time for us to do our profile.
"Reid, go get Morgan." Hotch told me, as he walking into the office to grab some files. Making my way outside and onto the roof were he was sitting, I froze. The look on his face killed my heart.
Derek POV
I can't take this anymore! Those tapes were just to horrible to try and fathom. How could someone do that to a child? And worst to your own child! I wish I could have gotten my hands around him before his killer did. That lucky bastard! I took in a deep breath, and closed my eyes as the wind blew past me. God this was a tough case for me. Trying to take my mind off of it, I pulled out my phone to call the one I knew, who would cheer me up. Garcia.
"Hey there sweetheart." I hear her say on the other end of the phone. "What's up?" I smiled in spite of myself. "I'm loosing it baby girl." "How do you mean?" At this point I had sit down, and lean against the wall of the building. "This case has gotten me all twisted up, I can't think straight anymore." She was silent for a second. "Well, what can I do to help?" "Just talk to me. Tell me how your days been." I could feel her smile on the phone. "My days been okay. I chilled on the phone with Kevin for a while before he had to go to work."
"That sounds nice. I could really use some of that down time myself." Then her voice changed from what seem monotoned and worried, to excited and up beat. "maybe we should take a vacation. You know? It would be fun. You, me and Kevin. " I smiled. "Did I mention you and me?" I laughed. "Yes baby girl, you did." "But then I would kind of be like a third wheel to you guys. How would Kevin feel about me hanging around with his incredibly sexy girlfriend?" Just like that, we were back to flirting. "Oh aren't you a sweetie pie?" She laughed to me. "Maybe you should invite someone." I shook my head. "Like who?" She waited for a second. "I don't know. What about Reid?" I went silent. My mind immediately went back to the last conversation we had. "Why would you say that?" She started to stutter. " I-I-I don't know. He seems like a likely choice for you?" It was right then and there that something clicked in my head. "Garcia? How long have you known about us?"
She sighed. A sign that she was going to give up on trying to hide it anymore. "Since you guys broke up in the bathroom." How did she know we broke up? "Who told you we broke up?" Silence. "Garcia." I said, threating. "Ugh! Reid did okay?" My turn to be silent. "I saw him crying outside the bathroom door. I asked him what was wrong, and he told me what happed. Derek, he told me that he loved you." I sighed. I can't believe he told her that. But then again. I couldn't blame him. I did him pretty bad. "Derek?" Garcia said, after I took too long to respond. "He said that to you?" I asked her. "Yep." I laughed lightly. "I'm not surprised though. Spencer always had a way with keeping secrets when he wanted to." Garcia laughed. "I'm sure he does." I laughed then. "You know even though he did keep that a secret from me, I still can't help but love him." Just as that was said, I turned to see the man of my affections himself. Reid.
