Reid sat on her bed, waiting for her to exit the bathroom. When he looked around he received even more confirmation; he saw Derek's shirt halfway under the bed. He sighed thinking back to the night at the bar.
He knew Penelope wasn't feeling well so he went out to his car to grab her some Advil. When he made it outside he looked around wondering where she had gotten to. He was shocked to see Penelope straddling Derek's waist in the nearby park. He quickly made his way back into the bar pretending not to have seen anything. He had hoped it was just some sort of make up thing from the way he had treated her during his stint as Unit Chief but from the looks of this room that was far from it.
Derek had all the time in the world to make a move on her years ago. He had no right to put her in this predicament now that she had someone. Garcia was a one of a kind girl; a girl you don't mess with or hurt. This was only going to end up breaking her heart in the long run. He wanted to help her but she would never bring this up.
She walked out of the bathroom coffee in hand "Are you ready to go, Sweetie?"
"Sure Pen, lets head out. Do you want to stop for breakfast?"
"Whatever you want to do, Boy Wonder." He pulled her into a hug, which surprised her. Reid never did anything like that.
They had been working the crime scene for two hours now. They hadn't needed anything from Garcia yet so Morgan was getting antsy. He kept looking at his phone hoping she would have text him by now. He felt like a teenager with his first crush. He put his phone away again as Hotch walked up to him.
"I need you to call Garcia and ask her to look up victims with this MO. Have her check hospital records going back at least 15 years."
"Sure thing Hotch"
He moved away from his boss with a huge smile on his face. He pulled out his phone and hit number 1 on the speed dial.
"Garcia's Phone."
"Reid?"
"Yeah, Garcia just stepped out. What can I do for you?" Reid asked.
"I have a search request for her." Derek said a little defeated.
"Alright give it to me so I can let her know when she comes back."
"It's okay, I'll call her back in five minutes."
"Morgan, just tell me what you need so I can have her start the search." Reid said annoyed into the phone.
Morgan gave Reid the information and disconnected the call. All he wanted to do was hear her voice and stupid Reid had to deny him that. He turned back to Hotch. "Reid took down the search request, once Garcia gets back she'll do it."
"Alright." Hotch said turning his attention back to the group.
Garcia came back into her makeshift office with two brand new cups of coffee. "Here you go Junior G-Man. Nectar from the Gods."
He smiled taking the cup. "Morgan called with a search request." He handed her the piece of paper he scribbled the parameters on.
"Thanks. I'll get these plugged in right now." She took a seat in front of her computer. Reid watched her fingers move like lighting over the keys narrowing their search.
About five minutes later her face lit up. "That's what I'm talking about!" She grabbed her phone to call Morgan.
When he felt his phone vibrate he pulled it out glad to see her name. He moved away form the group so he could talk to her. "Hey Baby Girl, I've missed you."
"Awe Sug, what's there to miss? I just saw you." She knew Reid was looking at her so she wanted to keep it light and fun like their normal conversations.
"There is a whole lot I miss. I'd name off each part if I could. Why did you leave you phone earlier?"
"I went down stairs to get Reid and I some coffee. I have the requested information for you guys."
"Okay Sweetness, let me walk over to the team and put you on speaker." It was quiet for a minute, as she heard him walking, "Alright Garcia, we're all here what do you have for us?"
"Well, I was able to find a women that was brought into the hospital on suspected domestic abuse. She had all the same markings as your victims. She never followed through with her police report though."
Hotch spoke up, "Maybe it was the UNSUBS first victim and was testing the waters?"
"That's what Reid said. I sent her current address to your phones. Garcia out!"
"Wait!" Morgan yelled. He grabbed the phone and moved back away from the group so no one could hear him. "Garcia are you there?"
"Yeah, Morgan, what do you need?"
"I just wanted to tell you I can't wait to see you tonight." He knew he sounded corny but he couldn't help it. Now that they had started this affair she consumed his ever thought. He couldn't get enough of her.
She didn't know what to say. Wasn't this affair just something to get out of his system? Wasn't that what it was for her? She knew she couldn't say anything Reid was still sitting by her, she was sure glad she decided to not have him on speaker. "Okay, Baby boy. Call me if you need anything." She hoped he would understand. When the team got back she was going to make it her first priority to have a real sit down with Morgan. They needed to figure out what was going on between them and before they solved this case and headed back home.
She was lost in her thought when she heard Reid clear his throat so she looked over at him.
"Penelope, how long have you been sleeping with Morgan?"
AN: What do you guys think of this story so far?
