Hotch went into to his office first to look over the paperwork Strauss sent down. He was so angry, if she was having issues why didn't she come to him? He made his way over to the room with all his agents.

When he walked in he handed Rossi the transfer papers. Rossi looked them over and sighed. Hotch stood in front of the group to address the team.

"It seems as though Garcia transferred locations last night without anyone knowing. When I went over to her place this morning there were movers taking her belongings. I was handed these envelopes' from the agent overseeing the move." He handed out each team member a letter. "I'm sorry Morgan, but there doesn't seem to be one here for you. If these letters are anything like mine, they're goodbye letters." JJ had tears in her eyes. "How could she just leave like that without telling anyone? Morgan did you know? You had to have known she didn't leave a letter for you."

He was still in shock; she left because of him. She just up and left. "No, I had no idea. I was… I was... we were watching movies last night and she said she broke up with Kevin because her heart belonged to someone else... " He looked at everyone on the team "She told me she loved me and I told her I didn't feel the same way."

"You idiot!" Emily spat out. "You're the biggest idiot I have ever met! I don't believe for a minute you don't feel that way about her. You slept with her! Oh you didn't think I knew. Garcia called me that morning after you said it was a mistake crying. At first I hated you for using her but then I watched you. You couldn't take your eyes off of her when you thought no one way looking. What is wrong with you? Are you just that scared to love someone? Or was it the fact that she isn't your normal type? Oh I bet that's what it is. You could never be seen with someone who looks like her. You know what Morgan, Screw you!" She grabbed her letter and stormed out of the room.

Morgan just sat there. "I told her I would never love her what have I done?" he looked back at Hotch "Do you know where she is? Please tell me know where she is?"

"No Morgan I don't."

The whole team was in disarray. Their heart and soul of the group was gone.

Rossi walked into his office and called Mikey.

"Robinson"

"Hey Mikey, it's Rossi. I heard you've had a busy night."

"You can say that. What can I do for you Rossi? I know this isn't a social call."

"Where is she? I need to talk to her, she is the daughter I never had."

"You know how this works Rossi, I can't let you know. She's in good hands, my hands that is. She called me last night wanting this, not the other way around."

"You're a prick, you know that Mikey?" and hung up the phone. He knew it wasn't going to be that easy to call and get the answers he needed. Now he was going to have to back track all of Mikey's movements to find her.

He sat back in his chair and opened the letter.

Dad,

Please don't worry about me. I'll be fine in my new home, I always am. You have always been there for me no matter what the issue was, it's just this time I needed to leave. Please don't be upset at anyone other than me. It was my choice to leave; you can't force someone to love you. David Rossi DO NOT use your connections to find me. I'll find you when the time is right. Be strong my Italian Stallion. The team needs you right now. I love you like the father I never had.

Be safe, I love you.

Penelope.

A tear ran down his cheek. He was going to find her and fix all of this.

Emily sat at her desk staring at the envelope. She was so angry with everyone, angry with Morgan, with Penelope and herself. Garcia was her sister, her best friend and now she was gone. She reached for the letter.

My Raven Haired Beauty,

I know right now you're probably angry and are trying to find answers. I'm sorry sweetie for leaving you like this. I just have really bad luck. You were always there for me when I needed you most; I hope you can say the same about me. Please don't be angry with Morgan, he did nothing wrong. I was the one who made this choice. You'll always be my sister and I'm sorry for leaving you like this. I love you with all my heart.

Love

PG

She threw the letter on her desk and looked up at Morgan, "I hate you and your superficial egotistical attitude." she left to the break room with tears in her eyes.

Morgan was pacing. He had never been in a situation like this before. He needed to get away from everyone to clear his mind. He walked out of the BAU and headed to the nearest bar. He didn't care that it was only 1:00 he needed a drink.

Reid opened his letter next.

My Boy Wonder,

I know I'm leaving a letter just like Gideon, please don't be upset with that. This was all such short notice. Don't let anyone get you down; you're such an amazing intelligent young man. I'm proud to call you my brother. I love everything about you, even your random facts. Be strong for the team, okay? I'm sure I'll see you at a convention sometime. I love you and always stay true to yourself.

Love always

Penelope.

He placed the letter in his pocket. This was the second time in his life someone he loved abandoned him by leaving a letter.

JJ opened her letter next.

JJ,

My lovely lovely JJ, This is one of the hardest letters I'm writing. I know you're upset with me; you have every right to be. I'm doing the unthinkable by up and leaving you and my godson. Understand that I had to make this choice. I will always be there for you and Henry, right now it might not seem like that but I will be. I'll make sure to always send gifts and correspondence. You're my sister and I love you. Tell Henry his Aunt P wishes she could kiss him goodbye. Be strong for Spencer he is going to need it.

I love you all! Even Will.

Love always

Penelope

JJ placed the letter in her purse. How was this team going to function without her? She always made the bad cases seem not so bad. She just hopped Penelope knew what she was doing.


She looked around her new apartment. Mikey really came through this time. This place was phenomenal. She was meeting with he new boss and Mikey in an hour, so she grabbed her bag and hailed a cab to take her to the office. When she pulled up Mikey was waiting outside for her.

"Garcia, how lovely it is to see you again." He said walking up to her.

"Sure Mikey, The apartment looks amazing, thank you for setting me up there."

"You know it all comes at a cost, Garcia?" He said walking her into the building.

"Yeah I know. Making a deal with the devil is never free." They entered the elevator.

"I'm the devil now? Nice! I'm moving up from what you called me last time." The door opened to the 6th floor. They both walked out into the department.

Mikey walked up to the gentleman standing in the middle of the room. "McAlister, good to see you again. This is your new TA Penelope Garcia. She's the one I called you about last night."

He moved in front of Garcia holding his hand out. "Welcome to White Collar Crimes TA Garcia."

"Please call me Penelope." She said with a smile returning his hand shake.

"Okay Penelope, call me Randall then. Mikey told me a lot about you. Let me show you to your new office."

She nodded and followed him to her new home.
