Garcia is beaming when Morgan and Reid head toward the living room. Reid's clothes are still a bit in disorder and his lips are slightly swollen. It's his eyes though that Garcia notices. They always seem a bit closed off when he thinks people are watching, but right now, they are filled with joy, relief, and a little bit of lust.

Garcia notices Prentiss watching the two agents closely. Prentiss at this point knows most of what probably went on in that bathroom. Garcia will be damned if she will let Prentiss take that moment away from them though. Distraction is her gift.

"What the hell is..." Prentiss starts.

"The analyst that has been on my system is trying to get in touch with me Morgan. What should I do?" Garcia interrupt.

"Do you trust it?"

"Yeah."

"Then contact him."

Reid is happy that he doesn't have to deal with Prentiss and the 20 questions at the moment.

With a few minutes the group realizes that the Unsub is at the BAU bullpen. Luckily they get a hold of Hotch, Rossi, and J.J. before running out the door to head the office.

By the time they arrive at the office, J.J. has shot and killed the Unsub. The office is a bee hive of activity. Questions are being asked and information is being gathered.

Morgan watches out his office window as Garcia meets the analyst that helped her. Garcia looks at the guy like he is what she has been waiting for her entire life. After everything she has been through, she deserves to be happy. He smiles. It seems like a few good things came from all this crap.

Reid is sitting with J.J., talking to her about who knows what. He is animated and excited, and Morgan thinks he really is beautiful. He still can't believe that they have moved from best friends to something more. He isn't sure what to name it, he isn't going to rush it, but they will figure it out. He turns back to his desk, he knows he has to finish his paper work before he can do anything else today.

He hears the door shut and looks up to find Prentiss closing it and stalking to his desk. He knew he was going to have to face her sooner or later, but later would have been preferable.

"You are going to talk to me and not run off this time. What the fuck do you think you're doing?" She leans right down, inches from his face.

"Whoa, back up." He clips out.

"He is not a toy Morgan. He isn't one of your little play things you can use and then toss aside."

Morgan feels the anger building up inside him. Having Prentiss in his face isn't helping.

"I know he isn't a fucking toy Emily."

"Then what are you doing Morgan?"

"My personal life isn't your business. He isn't a child, he can decide what he wants without your consent."

"He deserves.."

"I fucking know what he deserves. You need to step back." Morgan snaps, "Did you ever think that it's more than that? When have you ever known me to harm one hair on his head?"

Prentiss pulls back. "Never. You have never done anything to hurt him. Morgan, you're his best friend. He can't lose that."

"I am not planning on making him lose anything. I love him Emily." Morgan states as he looks at her.

"Morgan I am not doubting that you love him. You guys have been best friends for years, but that is not what I'm talking about."

"Let me explain something to you Emily. You see him, sitting there laughing with J.J.? All I can think is that he is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. He is the most amazing person I have ever met.", Morgan smiles a bit, "Even his quirks are wonderful. I love him Emily."

"He is so innocent. With our job it is amazing that he still has that. You are like sex on wheels Morgan."

"Sex on wheels?"

"You never date the same woman more than a couple of times. You always moving to the next one. Women Morgan, when have you ever been interested in a guy? Let alone one that is like Reid."

Morgan sighs. " I really could care less if he has tits or not." Morgan rubs his hands over his face, locking them behind his head. "Let it be, please. Reid and I will figure it out. I am not here to push him or rush him into anything. I want him, and not to use and toss. I want the whole deal, the nervous chatter, the facts that spew from him at the strangest times. I want the sugar flavored coffee and the sweater vests. I want him. Please don't scare him away from me. He always seeks the teams approval and you are going to make him back away from me. He wants this, it isn't me pushing."

"Morgan, you know I love you right? I am sorry for snapping. Reid is just,well, Reid. I can't help it. He isn't like anyone else."

"No he isn't. Thank God. I have loved that kid from a distance for long enough. Garcia had a point when she told me that life is short. I am not staying away from him. He feels the same way and I am going to try to make this work. He deserves someone to love him unconditionally and someone who won't leave him. I have helped him through so much and I know him better than anyone ever could. I would love him for who he is and never make him change to fit into some mold."

"Does J.J. know?"

Morgan looks back out of the office window. Reid is still with J.J. and Garcia and Hotch are listening also. All of them are smiling at whatever story or fact he is telling them.

"Not unless he said something."

"Reid is like her baby brother Morgan. It is not just me that is going to be concerned about this."

It seems funny to Morgan that he is considered the big bad wolf in this situation. That is not what he wants.

"I am not a bad guy."

"Christ, I know that. We all know that. Just be prepared for it." Prentiss turns and walks to the door. Before she opens it she looks back at Morgan, "If you break his heart, I'll shoot you."

"What if he breaks mine?" Morgan says.

Reid had seen Prentiss approach Morgan's office like a Mama lion on a mission. He was hoping that she would stay out of the situation. He now knows that was too much to wish for.

As he looks up to the office he sees Prentiss right in Morgan's face and Morgan looks pissed. Reid's stomach starts to ache. He doesn't want Morgan to change his mind. Prentiss is obviously not happy about what went on at Garcia's. It angers Reid. It isn't any ones business. There is nothing he can do at the moment so he turns back to J.J.. He wants to make sure J.J. is ok after having to shoot today. Right now, that is his main concern.

After a few minutes he hears Morgan's door open and sees Prentiss step out, she heads to the coffee pot. He finishes his story and excuses himself.

"I'm not a kid you know."

Prentiss hears Reid quietly behind her. She turns to look at him.

"I know you are not a child Reid."

"Yelling at him about me isn't going to help anything." Reid tucks his hair behind his ear."He is not going to want to be with me if you are going to be pissed about it. Not to mention it really isn't your business."

"I'm watching out for you Reid. You need someone to.."

"What gives you that right? Am I so unable to make decisions and look after myself that you need to make those choices for me?"

"Reid I didn't say that."

"You didn't have to Prentiss. You went right ahead and decided I needed you to butt in. Did you ever think that this is what I have wanted? Did you ever think to ask me if I was ok?"

"You are not experienced. You don't understand.."

"I find it funny that you trust me in my job, trust me to back you up, to be there, yet you don't trust me in my personal life. You don't agree so you will try to change a choice I made."

"I was making sure that the intentions.."

Reid cuts Prentiss off. "Intentions? Are you kidding me? What am I, some teenage girl?" Reid can feel his blood rushing and he knows his exterior is showing every bit of it.

"Reid, Calm down. I was just worried."

"Don't tell me to calm down. I'm not sure why I thought you would be happy for me. "

"I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to make you mad. I know it isn't like ..." Prentiss reaches out to take Reid's arm.

Reid snatches his arm away, "Don't touch me." He turns to head back to his desk.

"Reid?" J.J. is looking at him. She is standing right behind him. "What is going on?" J.J. knows it isn't like Reid to be angry at any of them. She knows something must have happened for him to be this angry. It is written all over him, it doesn't take a profiler to see it.

"Ask Prentiss, I am sure she will share. I am done my paper work, as well as hers. I am leaving. I'll see you on Monday, unless there is a case." He turns, grabs his bag from his desk and walks out, the whole while he can feel J.J. and Prentiss watching him.

Garcia shuts the lights off in her office. It has been a long day and she can't wait to have it be over with. She needs to find someone to drive her home. She wants to find Morgan to do it so she can ask him for some details about earlier. She is so happy that the two of them have moved to something more. They both need each other.

She sees Prentiss and J.J. standing near the break area. Prentiss looks like she is on the verge of tears.

"What's the matter?" Garcia looks at both women.

"Get Morgan." J.J. asks.

"Where is Reid, Prentiss?" Garcia looks right at her.

"Garcia, just get Morgan, I'm only telling the story once please. He is going to be pissed at me." Prentiss sags into a chair. "I am so screwed." Garcia turns and rushes into Morgan's office.

"Hey Baby Girl. Ready to go?" Morgan asks.

"Morgan, Prentiss and J.J. need you. Reid just took off."

"Prentiss, I asked you to leave it alone. What the hell did you say to him?" Morgan barks as he approaches the women.

"He saw me in your office. He saw me get up in your face. When I left your office he cornered me here. He was pissed Morgan. I tried to say the right thing but I just screwed it up worse. I actually used the word intentions."

"Christ Emily, He isn't a teenage girl!" Morgan yelled at her.

"That's exactly what he said. I didn't mean for this to happen Morgan."

"I am a little lost here. Whose intentions?" J.J. looks at them, seeking an answer.

"Fuck. My intentions J.J., mine. I'm going to go find him. Do me a favor, stay out of it. It doesn't have anything to do with you. It's mine and it's his. Leave it." Morgan turns to go get his stuff from his office and head out to find Reid. He just prays that Reid won't let this change his mind.

"Prentiss? What did you say to Morgan?" Garcia looks stricken.

"I confronted him about this afternoon. I was afraid he was playing around."

Garcia is so mad she wants to scream. "Oh because Morgan always treats Reid with total disrespect. Always walks all over him. My God, think about that?"

"It was knee jerk. I wanted to protect Reid. He is naive."

"Wait, Morgan and Reid? Together?" J.J. smiles.

"Wait, this doesn't bother you J.J.? Reid is like your brother." Prentiss looks shocked.

"He is, but what could be better? He has loved Morgan for years. Morgan thinks the sun shines out of Reid's ass. Why would them being together bother me?"

"I don't know, maybe his history?"

"Prentiss? Oh my lord, pot calling the kettle. You are just as bad as he is." Garcia says.

"I'm not trying to bang Reid!" Prentiss yells back.

"Prentiss! Did you ever think maybe Morgan cares?"

"Well at first I was just shocked and a little mad. He told me he loves him. I believe him. Reid didn't let me tell him that. He was already mad, I just made it worse. I did tell Morgan I would shoot him if he hurt Reid though."

Garcia sends up a prayer to who ever is listening to please let Morgan find Reid quickly and to let them be ok.
