Morgan and Garcia were luckily able to make it the rest of the way to Beaufort with no more interruptions. When Strauss answered the door to her vacation house she was shocked to see Morgan and Garcia there together.
"What are the two of you doing here Mr. Morgan?" Strauss rudely asked.
Morgan reached into his shoulder bag to get the manila envelope that held the paperwork that was so essential to the BAU and handed it to her.
Strauss took one look at the papers and said: "Did Aaron Hotchner send these with you?"
"Yes." Garcia answered.
Strauss just nodded. "I suppose I owe him a call then. Good Day."
She then closed the door in their faces and they turned to walk back to Morgan's car. Once they were inside Garcia said:
"So you need a plane ticket to Chicago and I need one back to Quantico? Right?"
"Baby Girl, why don't you just come with me?"
Garcia glanced up from her phone where she was dialing Delta Airlines. "What?"
"You don't have plans for Christmas right?"
"Right Hot Stuff. But I can't go with you. Christmas is too family related."
"You are like family to me. Come on Garcia, come to Chicago with me.
She debated in her head for a minute and then said:
"All right. But under one condition."
"What's the condition?"
"We're taking a Road Trip to Chicago instead of flying."
He laughed and rolled his eyes.
"Enjoy yourself Baby Girl?"
"Besides the 'Motel From Hell' yes."
"All right. I agree to your condition, as long as you agree to mine."
Garcia laughed. "What's your condition Derek?"
'When I introduce you to my family I can call you my girlfriend."
She looked over at him and smiled. "Deal."
I'm finally done! Please Review!
