Sarahb2007: Most of them will be done in Emily's but I do want some to be different, let's see how that goes.
Season 02 Episode 10 = Lessons Learned
As we left the plane and started walking to the car, I felt a sense of comfort and dread at the same time. Gideon's words reminding us that Jihad never ends were also a reminded that for today the imminent attack on the country was under control, but for tomorrow we never new, and tomorrow we would probably be called somewhere else.
The ride to the BAU was easy enough, it was still around six thirty so we had so we didn't have much to worry about. Agent Hotchner called Agent Gideon and they talked almost all the way there, but after some time I just tuned them out, if there is something you learn with Agent Gideon, is that if he wants you to know something, he will tell you.
As soon as we got to the bullpen Agent Gideon went to his office while Dr. Reid and I got to our tables, the place was quite empty, but I could see Agent Morgan's stuff still at his table, so he was probably around. I decided to start on the paperwork since it wasn't too late so that if anything came tomorrow it would be easier.
"Hey, princess!" I heard a male voice say next to me. As I looked up I could see Agent Morgan's smirking face.
"Excuse me?" I answer with not really a bite in my voice but still fighting the urge to roll my eyes at him. Really? Pick on the new colleague? Well here we go.
"Not mocking I swear. I am just one for nicknames. Isn't that right boy genius?" As both Agent Morgan and me looked at Dr. Reid I could see that he did not try to prevent the eye roll. At least I was not about to be singled with the nickname parade.
"Yes Agent Morgan?" I answer again as he got close to the table and started looking at the stuff on top of it.
"Just wanted to know how you feel about your first case. " As Agent Morgan looked at me I could see he was genuine about his interest in how things went, and from the corner of my eye I could see that Dr. Reid had also stopped writing and for some reason that made it all better, the warm feeling that I had on the way back from the Guantanamo, the feeling that I was slowly being integrated was settling in. And, for sure, that could make a girl's night.
"It was very impressive to see Agent Gideon in that interrogation, and all of Dr. Reid's pin pointing at the right observations that would help the case and the evolution of the information's. It is quite different to work with profilers Agent Morgan. " I finished truthfully.
"Well princess, from the words of things you did a great job. Oh that reminds me, JJ asked me to tell you to go to her office so she can finish getting your ! and Garcia also asked you to stop by her girl cave before you call it a night. – I stood up and started making my way towards Agent Jareau Morgan called my name.
"Oh and Prentiss. Loose the formalities, after all we will be seeing each other a lot from now on." Morgan said with a smile.
"I agree. People already look a me weird without someone on the team calling me Doctor." Dr. Reid explained showing that even if he seemed distracted he was more then capable of paying attention.
"Agreed." I said giving my back to them and going after Agent Jareau.
"Excuse me Agent Jareau" I knocked on the door and opened to find the woman on the phone. I was about to walk right back out when she quietly told me to get in and take a seat.
"I understand Detective Carlson." The blond agent seemed tired and ready to go home. "Yes, as soon as I receive the files I'll deliver them myself to Agent Hotchner and he will look it over and see if there is anything that was overlooked." A media liason's job did not looked fun right about now. "Ok Detective. Have a nice night."
"I'm sorry about that Emily, but sometimes the detectives think that harassing me over the phone will get them a consult with Hotch faster." I was a bit started by the whole I'll call you your first name thing without even thinking but I didn't actually have a problem with it, so it was not worth mentioning.
"That is fine, your job seemed quite singular just a moment ago." I said trying not to sound improper.
"Yes, that is a good word for it." Agent Jareau started getting some papers from her desk and finally got one case file and handed it to me. "Here are the rest of the protocols and policies and any other paper with an explanation that I still owned you from this morning. And that one is case file that Gideon ask me to pull for you, sometimes just consulting on those cases will help the police, and most of the time we don't have the time to go to all of them, so I select the ones we will go to, with Hotch's supervision of course, and the other will be handed to you guys analyze. So you can take home, look it over and tomorrow someone will talk it over with you."
"Ahh, ok" I got the papers from her hand and decided not to look it over now, she looked she already had everything ready to leave, and she probably had better things to do too at this time. "Thank you very much for your help Agent Jareau" I said getting up to leave the office and track down Garcia. The place was big with standard doors, she still had trouble around it, not that she was telling it to anyone, and if she anyone noticed that she took 15 minutes to find the blonde's Agent office in the morning nobody commented.
"Emily, please go with JJ, Jareau is my dad and brothers and Jennifer is also my mother's." The younger agent offer with a smile.
"Ok, JJ it is." I offered still uneasy, she was comfortable, but in the sense too comfortable too soon. I did not know what to make of that. "I still have to talk to Garcia, so I'll leave you to it. Have a good night Agen….JJ." I left the room without waiting for a replay.
As I was walking the long hallway I walked past Reid as he walked with a face stuck in a file, boy was he enthusiastic about all of this. As I got close to him he only pointed to the direction he had come from and told me Garcia was waiting. Well I guess someone did notice.
"Garcia?" I asked nocking on the door of the very weirdly decorated computer room. The door suddenly opened and I was whisked inside faster then I could blink.
"Hey sweet cheeks. How was the case for you? Everyone treating you ok? Were Reid and Gideon nice? With the case and the whole thing with my chocolate Adonis I barely had time to think, but I was thinking about your first day and I cheering. Internally of course." Wow, she did have good lungs.
"Let's see, the case was fine, I observed and learned a lot of thing from Reid and Agent Gideon. Everyone is being nice. Working on cases like this is different then what I did, but I still believe I can help, and I want to learn. Thank you for the thoughts. And finally Chocolate what? Who?" Sometime she would just loose me in one of the things that would come out of her mouth. As soon as she finished responding what she could Garcia obviously burst out laughing.
"Sorry munchkins, the chocolate Adonis mention is our very fearless FBI Agent Derek Morgan, and with the whole thing of Hotch and him almost blowing up we were kind of on jitters around here. " I could see Garcia was almost all packed to go out. "Hey, do you want to grab a bite to eat and leave? I mean it is nine already and we have to here tomorrow anyway"
"That would be very appreciated, I don't think I had more then cereal bars today." I said remembering my repeated breakfast, snack and lunch of the day, I'll probably stay away from them for a while if possible. At least a different flavor next time.
"Well then let's go, We can go to that amazing Italian place not too far from your house that you like so much." My stomach was grumbling just from hear her talk.
"Ok, I just need to pass by my desk and get my things then we can go" I watched Garcia closing her office door and we started walking when it suddenly hit me. "How do you know where I live, and that I like that place? "
"Oh little raven, the things you still don't know about your Penelope Garcia."
