"Getting even?" Morgan smiled at Rossi as they drove away.
"And, what if I am?" Rossi questioned.
"Just doing my best to help," Morgan replied. "As I said before, after the way he treated Reid last night, he deserves to get some of his own back."
"Truer words were never spoken," Rossi agreed. "Now, can I assume we are headed back to the sheriff's office?"
"Where we will check in with Hotch, and find out what he and JJ think after their interviews," Morgan confirmed. "And, we also need to check with Garcia and see what she has discovered."
"At least we got a good look at the sites before the current hoard arrived," Rossi observed thoughtfully.
Morgan reached over and pushed a button on the dashboard. "Baby Girl?" he sang out.
"Of course! Who else would it be, my lovely Adonis?" Garcia replied cheekily. "Although, if you are interested I could see about rounding up an interesting assortment of – "
"You are on speaker," Morgan interrupted hastily.
"Of course," Garcia replied quickly. "What can I do for you this fine day, professionally speaking, of course."
"Well, you can start by checking on the houses in the around the sites of the UFO sightings," Morgan told her. "I want to know about the people living there - In particular, the kids."
"You think some of those people may be more than they appear – Like they dropped in from outer space?" Garcia suggested.
"Not exactly that," Rossi spoke up. "Just, do they have a background in the sciences or something along those lines."
"Well, I know that Dr. Snow lives there," Garcia replied. "Also, Dr. Logan who made the third sighting. Checking into the other residents may take some time and I'll have to get back to you."
She hesitated a moment and then asked. "Is it just the two of you there – No one else?"
"At the moment," Rossi told her. "Is there something on your mind, Bella?"
"What is it Mama?" Morgan added. "You sound concerned."
"It's just that – Well - You know that Emma stopped in last night with dinner for me, right?" Garcia began.
"Yes," Rossi told her. "Apparently, it was right after she spoke with Reid."
"Were you there when he called her?" Garcia questioned.
"Not really," Morgan told her. "I left him alone in our hotel room so he would have some privacy. Did he say something that upset her?"
"NO – OH NO!" Garcia exclaimed. "Just the opposite! Emma was over the moon when she showed up here. She was absolutely thrilled that he had taken the time to call her and talk. Apparently, with Reid's job and with her working two jobs, they don't have time talk –You know really talk – All that often. You guys do know that she is in love with him, don't you?"
"And Reid is – Confused," Rossi diagnosed the situation.
"That's right!" Garcia burst out. "And you guys need to do something about that!"
"Kitten, we may be able to do a lot of things, but we can't make someone fall in love," Rossi told her gently. "No matter how much we think they should."
"Rossi is right, Baby Girl," Morgan added. "Admittedly we all think that Emma and Reid belong together, but we can't force the issue. He needs to make sure he is over Maeve first."
"I know," Garcia admitted. "But, I was just thinking and I know how she feels and I just feel so sorry for her and – " She trailed off.
"Baby Girl, has Sam done something to upset you?" Morgan demanded. "Because if he has – "
"Oh No, nothing like that," Garcia hastened to assure him. "It just that – I don't know – "
"Just have faith," Rossi told her gently. "As you have often told me – You have to believe that things always work out for the best."
"Hang in there," Morgan added as he pulled the SUV into the parking lot at the sheriff's office. "As Rossi said, things will work out."
