The man had eventually told him where his passport was, and Morgan had handed him off to the Amsterdam authorities. They were now flying back on the jet to America. Robin, Jason and some of the other American kids were in the backseat.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Reid asked, feeling better after getting a shower. Prentiss was alone, sitting in the bench. She looked up and glanced at Morgan, who was uncharacteristically silent.
At least the Morgan she remembered.
"Feels surreal, you know? Like it's a dream, 'scept it's not." Morgan flashed a thousand-dollar-smile at Reid. "Makes you feel glad we never gave up, huh?"
"Better that the debt isn't real. Easy enough to fall into the thinking that it is, of course," Reid sad. "Especially if you're from like, another country and don't know any better, and it's not like they explain the contracts this well."
"Contracts?" Prentiss asked. She had her ideas, but wanted the boys to feel comfortable talking to her again.
"They force you to sign a contract, saying you owe them a certain amount of money. You can't pay them cash, you have to pay them in hours served. They make adjustments to it all the time. I think the lowest I ever owed them was $150k and I started at two grand."
"It's a very flawed and false system," Reid agreed. "They'll charge you for doing things like, refusing a client, even if they force you to serve them. It's just dumb."
"Couldn't agree more."
It had been three months since Reid and Morgan were back home. Morgan had gone for awhile to be with his family who were relieved, of course, he was safe. Both had been approved to re-join the FBI the full time.
The man who had abducted them and hundreds of others had been murdered in prison.
Robin and Jason had been placed safely back with their families.
It was currently 9:00 a.m., time to start another workday. Reid smiled at Morgan, "Feels good to be back, doesn't it?"
Reid nodded, "You know it."
