Team Dynamics-Ch 1
Penelope was just finishing up one file of files when she looked up to see Barnes walking her way, she rolled her eyes and said, "to what do I owe the pleasure"?, she smiled and said, "I wanted to let you know about your friend". She said, "my friend, what friend"?, Barnes said, "Alvez, I wanted to let you know that he was arrested".
She stood up and said, "arrested, for what"?, she said, "assault", Penelope blew out a deep breath and said, "and who did he assault"?, Barnes said, "that's not important but what is important is that his career is over". Penelope said, "you're enjoying this aren't you"?, she leaned in and smiled and said, "you bet I am and soon I'll be rid of all of your team".
Penelope said, "what did we do to you"?, she said, "ohhhh you'll find that out later" and then she turned around and walked away leaving Penelope standing there with her mouth open. She looked around and saw it was time for her break and she grabbed her cell and headed toward the lounge.
On the way to the elevator she ran into Reid, she said, "boy wonder I was on my way to call you", he said, "this is where she put you"?, Penelope nodded her head and said, "sadly yes but that's not what I was calling you about". Reid said, "what were you calling about then"?, she took a deep breath and said, "walk with me" and they continued on their way up the hall toward the lounge.
When they stepped inside she looked around and after finding out they were alone she said, "Barnes has done it", he said, "done what"?, she said, "slowly she's getting rid of the team one by one". He said, "I'm not following", she said, "Barnes took great pleasure in telling me that Luke had been arrested".
Reid said, "arrested, arrested for what"?, Penelope said, "well she said assault but she wouldn't tell me who, or where, nothing just that he had been arrested". Reid said, "I'll call JJ and see what I can find out", Penelope nodded her head and poured them both a cup of coffee, a few minutes later Reid turned to her and said, "well it's true, he's been arrested".
Penelope said, "but what's Luke saying"?, he took a deep breath and said, "he's saying that he went for a cup of coffee and bumped into a woman and after a few minutes she asked him out and he told her that he couldn't because he was already seeing somebody and then when he turned around to leave she ripped her dress".
Penelope stood there with her mouth open and Reid said, "she said that he tried to calm her down and she started screaming and begging him not to hurt her and that's when Barnes walked into the room". Penelope said, "so this was set up"?, he nodded his head yes in agreement and said, "that's what we're thinking" as they then sat down and continued drinking their coffee and talking.
Reid looked over at her and said, "soooooo how are things with you know who"?, she took a sip of her coffee and said, "they couldn't be better", he put his hand on hers and said, "that's great Garcia, you both deserve all the happiness in the world". She smiled at him and said, "until his divorce is final we're taking things really slow".
He laughed and said, "how much slower could you take things, you've already been in love for years", she said, "true boy genius but I'm not going to be that woman, the one that breaks up a marriage". He said, "from what I heard she cheated on him and got pregnant with another mans child and that's soooooo not your fault" causing her to smile.
She said, "tonight we're suppose to go out or stay in or do something", he grinned and said, "I've never seen you this happy before", she said, "it feels good to be happy again Spencer, I've been in love with him for so long and now that he's back nothing or nobody is gonna keep us apart". What they didn't know was that Barnes was standing outside the door listening.
She smiled and said, "well Morgans back is he, well let's just call his soon to be ex and let her know what's going on shall weee" and she walked up the hall toward the elevator with her cell in her hand. She pulled up Savannahs number from the files on her cell and dialed the number, after a few rings she heard, "hello", Barnes said, "Savannah, Savannah Morgan"?, the woman said, "yes, who's this"?, Linda said, "who I am isn't important but what your soon to be ex is doing with his best friend might be".
Savannah said, "well well well, you might just be my new best friend" and Barnes laughed and said, "maybe, just maybe" and then she started filling Savannah in on what she had overheard.
