Chapter 5

Reid's Attempt:

Reid walked into the breakroom, after he saw J.J. go in for some more coffee. He stopped in the doorway, shuffling his feet. He looked at J.J. cautiously.

She was just getting a refill of coffee when she saw him walking in. She lingered at her spot a while longer, staring at him, his misery and the pain he seemed to be in. Spencer Reid, was like an open book to her after more than seven years. She could read him so J.J., it only took one look at Spencer, to see when he was upset. It took all her willpower she had to not run over and make sure he was okay. She couldn't. Not right now. They hadn't spoken a friendly word in days, due to her reactions to his actions. And now she found herself wondering whether she wasn't reacting a little over the top. Just as that thought entered her head, Emily's pale, pained face flashed into her mind, and she tightened her lips.

"I'm sorry, J.J. really sorry. I never meant to hurt anyone. I let my curiousity, overrule my brain." Spencer pleaded with J.J. to forgive him.

"I know Spence," her voice soft. "I know." J.J. looked at him, softning despite herself. "I forgive you."

"Really?" Spencer asked hopefully.

"Yes, but you need to apologize to Emily. This really hurt her, Spence." J.J. replied.

"I know, I swear I'll make it up to her. To all of you." Spencer said genuinely.

"Spence, just apologize, as to the rest, that will just take time ok?" J.J. said.

"Ok, J.J. are we really ok?" he asked.

"Yes, we're ok, I can't stay mad at you for long, you know that. Make it good with Emily, and we'll be good." J.J. smiled at him, and for the first time in days, Spencer Reid, felt that everything would be ok.

J.J. reached over and hugged Spencer. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, and nodded.

"Although, you might want to avoid Garcia, for awhile. At least till she calms down." J.J. said warningly.

"I know, Morgan went to talk to her." Reid answered.

"Uh-oh, that may not be a good idea," said J.J. knowing just how mad their friend was.

"We have to try," said Reid.

"I know," J.J. replied. "It's what we do. It'll be okay Spence, it's just gonna take some time." She hugged him again, and turned to go. "Spence, go talk to Emily soon okay?" She said turning back to him.

"I will, I promise, we're going to talk to Hotch too." Spencer replied.

"Good, I want my family back." J.J. said, feeling better than she had in days, she walked back to her desk.

"Me too." Reid said, and he too felt better than he had in days. Now, he just had figure out how to fix the rest.

Dave's Turn:

Dave had called J.J.'s cell praying she would answer, and asked her to come to his office. After his confrotation with Garcia, he needed this round to be on his turf.

When J.J. walked into his office, he just blurted out,

"I didn't mean to hurt you, any of you."

"I know Dave," she said. "I know."

"You don't wan't to skin me, humiliate me, castrate me?" Dave asked cautiously.

"I did," J.J. said lightly, "Now I just want everything to be okay. I know you guys didn't do it to hurt us."

"J.J. I swear if I could take it back..." "I know Dave," J.J. interupted him. "We have to get past this."

"Easier said than done," Dave said tiredly.

"You talked to Garcia, I see" J.J. said laughing.

"It's not funny J.J., the woman e-mailed my ex- wives, telling them amoung other things that I wanted them back. She gave my money to some kooky, fluffy, animal charity, and got me put on the no fly list." Dave said getting mad all over again.

J.J. burst into laughter.

"You're not getting sympathy from me Dave," she said gasping to get the words out. "You had it coming."

"I know, but Damn, does the woman have to be so good at getting even?" Dave asked exasperatedly.

"Yes" J.J. said, still laughing. "It's why we all both love and fear her."

Dave smiled at the still chuckling blond.

"You know you owe Emily the biggest apology right?" J.J. said finally sobering.

"I know, her and Hotch. We're going to talk to them. I just wish I knew what happened, after Hotch chased after her," Dave said.

"You and me both, Emily won't talk about it." J.J. added.

"Well, we mostly fixed the rest of us, I think it's time for a little team work. We'll need it for those two stubborn mules." Dave said determinedly.

"Agreed" J.J. nodded her head.

Wow! This story is just pouring out of me. I hope your enjoying it so far.
