-:-:-:Chapter 5:-:-:-
Morgan was just in the middle of explaining something irrelevant to Emily- when the elevator gave a slight bump. Instantly Emily grabbed his hand for support. Josh Michael's voice sounded "sorry 'bout that guys. Don't worry they'll get'ya down in a hurry, a-ha, a-ha" Derek thought that josh-guy was becoming more and more obnoxious, but then all Josh-related thoughts were forgotten when he realized Emily was still holding his hand, even though most other passengers had relaxed by now. But Morgan wasn't a man to complain when a beautiful woman was holding his hand – it actually felt rather nice. Seemingly casual Emily rested her body against his. Derek just wanted to sit like this forever. He looked down at her, she was so beautiful and he badly wanted to kiss her. Instead he just squeezed her gently. He wanted to just sit like this for an eternity. They sat still in total peace for a moment but were abruptly pulled out of the 7th heaven when the elevator started moving downwards.

Spencer was intimidated by Derek. Not by his good looks and assertiveness. Well of that too, but the most was his people skills and especially his lady skills. Here he was- holding hands with a woman he had known for roughly eight hours, when Reid terrified even by the thought of touching JJ. Gods know he would like to do a lot more than just touching her. And now, he blushed just by the thought of it, great. He wondered a short second about how he would have handled being on national television, it had been a pretty impromptu decision. He looked at Prentiss and Morgan; they were still leaning against each other, dammed! They both acted as if it was nothing really. Man did he envy them! Finally the elevator stopped its descent and the doors opened. They stood up and walked out in various tempos. Once they got out they were greeted by a small groomed man "hello, my name is Carson Stewart. I'm the manager at this hotel. If you would like to follow with to my office?" The group looked at each other, sitting in the manager's office was probably the thing either one of them wanted to do the least. They succumbered though and followed the little man trough the foyer.

Morgan and Prentiss were the last, walking hand-in-hand. They were already acting and thinking like a couple. Spencer and JJ were also walking next to each other, although it seemed to be a more unconscious decision. When they reached their destination the manager turned around and asked "I just wanted to ask if you will be pursuing legal action? If so I am sure we can find a compromise to everyone's satisfaction, without bothering with a courtroom and such" by the end of the speech Carson Stewart looked almost frightened, and that was when it hit Aaron 'someone must have made a mistake somewhere, and the hotel can't afford to pay if we sue' out loud Hotch asked "could you just give us a moment?" the little man nodded "sure, and if you just give me your names I'll make sure you want get billed for your stay" and they did and he finally left. As soon as the sound of his footsteps had vanished, Hotch turned to face the others. Quickly he described what he'd figured out and when he was done, Reid was the first to speak up "I, for my part, don't want to do it. For one thing I like this hotel and don't want to see it bankrupt and second I don't need the money nor do I have the time for a lawsuit" Penelope pointed a finger at Spencer "I totally agree, well not on the money part, but everything else. I also think it's kinda stupid using money to sue for an amount of money the hotel can't pay either way" Hotch rose "it's settled then" and walked out the door looking for Carson Stewart.

Derek leaned closer to Emily. In a low voice he asked "so do you maybe want to go out and eat somewhere? Get out of here?" She nodded and they walked out of the now empty lobby hand in hand
Spencer's worry increased as he watched JJ starting to rose and walk towards the door. He decided to dare "hey, Jayje! The hotel's restaurant is pretty good, if you wanna you know…"
When Jennifer smiled it was like the sun had entered the room. But the prospect of spending time with JJ just the two of them sent shivers down his spine. He turned to the remaining persons in the room "does either, or both, of you want to join us?" Penelope quickly stood up "sure thing love-muffin" and the four of them headed out the door.
