It was well after midnight. Rossi had been snoring at a table for the last two hours, and the team was lagging without his coffee services. This was particularly tough on the younger coffee addicts, JJ and Reid.
"Coffee," they moaned in unison. Reid's head slowly drooped until it touched the desk, his long hair covering his face. JJ's pretty blue eyes lacked life, flickering constantly.
"Come on, kiddies," Emily said encouragingly, "We are all tired, but if we can just finish this little bit of work, we'll be done for the night." Reid was already out. JJ tried to open her eyes, groaned a little, then slumped down in her chair and succumbed to slumber.
Morgan glanced over at Rossi, "Useless lard ass," he muttered.
The only one that wasn't complaining, sleeping, or saying anything in general was Hotch. He was a man on a mission, absolutely relentless. He stopped when he noticed the lack of energy from his younger agents. "Get some rest, guys; you'll need it for tomorrow." He turned to Morgan and Em, "You two need rest, too."
"No way, Hotch," Morgan said, "We aren't leaving you here to work on this all by yourself."
Hotch sighed. "Alright, then let's just hurry and get it done so that we can all sleep."
"Sounds good," Em said with a slight smile, all she could muster at this point. She looked at the file that Hotch tossed to her side of the table.
"Can't wait to tackle this guy tomorrow," Morgan said.
"Yeah," Hotch said, "I think we are all ready for this case to be over."
Morgan nodded. "Got that right!"
"Yeah, I want my pretty view of DC back," Em said, thinking of the amazing view outside her apartment window.
"A real bed would be nice," Hotch said. Then he became all-business again. "Alright, we need to re-focus. Are we absolutely sure that Rollins is our guy?"
"Everything here points to it," Morgan said. Em nodded in agreement.
"Alright," Hotch said, "then we'll pay him a little visit at his apartment tomorrow. Until then..."
"Sleepy time," Em said with quiet enthusiasm.
"Um, yeah, I guess you could say that," Hotch said.
"Night," Morgan said, "Hope you guys are ready to kick serious criminal ass in the morning."
