The last case they worked had been rough, not because it was any worse then usual but it was just long. They were currently on day 10 and stilled no closer to catching their unsub, the only saving Grace was that it was just outside of Virginia, so they were able to work from the FBI and stay at their own homes… when they made it home that was. All the victims were young adult women ranging from 18 to 22 and it was hard.

It was one of the rare occasions that they were able to work from their own building, although Emily realised she hadn't actually been to her apartment in 3 days so maybe it wasn't that different. It was nearing on midnight, and she realised she hadn't had any proper food for over 24 hours now. She was hungry, stressed and tried in every way a person can be tired so found herself in the kitchen of their rest room making herself her ultimate comfort food…

As sat back at her desk with her food just as Rossi entered "Prentiss… tell me that is not what I think it is".

JJ looked up from where she was sat with Morgan at his desk "oh no" she mumbled to Morgan sat next to her.

"It's so good" Emily whined, flashing him her best puppy eyes.

"How could you do this to me? I thought you of all people appreciated good culture and good food" Rossi continued

"Try it" she held the bowl out… the bowl that contained shredded cheese, pasta and tomato ketchup.

"Wrong move" Morgan said behind his hand to JJ as the two watched their friends curiously, genuinely concerned that Rossi was about to have an aneurysm.

"Unbelievable" Rossi through his hands up "bambini, lavoro con i bambini."

"Oh, Rossi don't be like that" Emily pouted "it's so good I promise. It tastes amazing".

"Sorprendente?! un giorno mi darai un ictus. incredibile, dice che è delirante" Rossi continued his ranting in angry Italian as emily sat there looking like a scolded child.

"Umm guys what's happening?" Garcia asked JJ and Morgan with an amused look on her face having just entered the room.

The other blonde looked up at her friend with an amused smile, "Dave just found out what Emily's comfort food is. I think she broke him".

Emily had now abandoned her snack as she stood and the two bickered in Italian, for anyone who didn't speak Italian the interaction looked and sounded much more heated than it was.

Morgan scoffed "wait till he finds out she dips the garlic bread in ketchup too"

Rossi spun on his heels, "she what? That's it I'm done with you people. così fatto" he threw his hands up and walked out of the bull pen towards his own office still muttering in Italian.
