Rossi was pacing the length of his office when JJ and Emily arrived. Climbing up the staircase to Rossi's office the ladies exchanged a look. Walking into the office Rossi began telling the women of his suspicions and the inconsistencies of their fellow team mate's behavior.
"Are we sure that they're even missing?" JJ asked.
"Not that I am aware of. It's Sunday. I don't answer the phone if I don't have to, so maybe that's what's going on here." Prentiss offered to the office occupants.
"Aaron never ignores my calls. He's been on dates and still takes my calls. I'm telling you something is up. And it looks like it's up to us to figure out what it is."
"If Garcia and Reid are both gone, this is going to be that much more difficult. We're going to need help."
"I'll call Kevin Lynch." Rossi offered.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Hotch denied while looking at Garcia. She seemed to find the floor fascinating.
"I beg to differ Hotch. Two weeks ago, Penelope was wearing a red dress that gave everyone a generous view of her cleavage. I saw you staring at her breasts more than even I was. That was the same day that I saw Morgan blow off Gillian Brodeaux from human trafficking."
"I think you are mistaken Reid. I don't recall…"
"Then four days ago when we met back up in the bullpen before heading up to debrief at the round table you hugged Garcia for approximately 17 seconds and then you left your arm around her back and kept your hand on her hip. A year ago, she usually received an arm squeeze or a mere nod in her direction. And if that isn't enough to convince you, two days ago she was wearing the high waisted navy pencil skirt with the cream color blouse, and again with extra cleavage showing. None of the males in the room could focus because we were all staring at the flesh that was on display. Does that sound a bit more familiar now?"
Hotch remained stoic but didn't deny the accusations. The truth was that he had been staring at the woman a lot more lately. She had been showcasing her attributes so much that it was hard not to stare. That wasn't an excuse for his behavior and he should feel awful about debasing his friend in such a way. But he couldn't. She was a beautiful woman and he was a man.
'I sound like the unsub.' Hotch thought.
"Well at least you're not denying it man." Derek looked over at Garcia still staring at the floor. "You've been looking at our boss man to Baby Girl. Don't think it hasn't been noticed. We've all been watching you lately and you've been flaunting what your Mama gave you, not that we're complaining." Morgan chuckled and the other men followed. Even Penelope smiled slightly causing the mood in the room to lighten. "Is there a reason you've been dressing a little more provocatively?"
Penelope continued fidgeting with her fingers. "I didn't realize I was."
"You didn't realize your breasts were spilling out of you top Sweet Cheeks?" The comment was meant to be light and funny, unfortunately, that isn't what happened and it set Penelope off.
"Well why didn't any of you say anything? If I was so being so fucking brazen and "exposing" myself in the work place you should have said something Hotch!" she yelled standing up from the bed and addressing her boss.
"I know that I don't often act like it but I am still a man Garcia. And you're an extremely beautiful woman. Why would I complain if no one else does?"
Throwing her hands in the air Penelope turned on her heal heading towards the shower hub. " Of course! As long as the balls of the team are getting a cheap thrill then the hell with my reputation or what others may think or feel!"
"Where are you going?"
"To the damn bathroom. I have to pee. Is that okay with the dangly genitals in the room?" she snarked heading to the toilets.
"Think she's pissed?" Reid tried his hand at being a smart ass.
Shaking his head Morgan headed in the direction Garcia went. "I'll talk to her."
Morgan walked into the shower hub looking for Penelope. This was going to be an extremely touchy and awkward conversation they were about to have, and he was going to have to do this delicately or he may be walking out of the hub carrying his junk in his hand. Penelope was the sweetest, kindest, most loving woman he had ever met, but she was an absolute hellcat at times.
He found her leaning against the tile wall where she had been since she walked in. "Garcia?" Penelope jumped at the sound of Morgan's voice.
"What is it?" she asked washing her hands, pretending that she had actually used the restroom.
Walking up behind Garcia he leaned forward gently, trying not to startle her. "Talk to me Baby Girl. This is one messed up ass situation. It's got to be getting to you."
"My God Morgan this shit sucks. What is this bastard trying to do? Why is he doing this to us?" she asked as he gathered her into his arms.
"I don't know why he's doing this Princess. But we're going to get through this. You hear me?" he said taking her face in his hands. "We will get out of this. But you are going to have to be straight with me. Earlier when the unsub was talking about your feelings, was he telling the truth?"
"I'm not good at this Derek. I don't like to be vulnerable. I don't like telling people about my insecurities and I especially don't like it when some baddy puts my business out on front street."
Staring into Penelope's eyes, foreheads resting on each other's, they each recalled the recent kisses that they had shared. The last and most heated at the forefront for both of them. Licking his lips Morgan continued. "Do you have more than friendly feelings for all of us? For me? Do you want me Garcia?" As he asked his last question it became less about the others and narrowed to the two people standing in a bathroom.
Very slowly Penelope nodded the affirmative. "Why didn't you tell me Baby Girl? Why did you hide it from me?"
"You'd never understand Morgan. I love me, I really do. But I have no delusions on my appearance verses public opinion of what a woman should look like. I'm not JJ thin. I don't have a small physique. I am nothing of what the world considers beautiful. I am loud, and I am bubbly, and I have a wonderful sense of brightly colored fashion. Usually it doesn't bother me but lately, lately things have been different for me. I've been noticing things. Noticing Reid all hard bodied and long haired sexy. And Hotch. My God Derek, you can bounce a quarter off that man's glutes! I've always noticed you, but lately all of my noticing has brought on a …craving if you will. And I don't mean for pancakes."
"Hotch is right. You are an extremely beautiful woman. Hell girl, Reid couldn't even keep his hands off of you." Derek began running his hands down the sides of her body, using his thumbs to pass over the woman's nipples as he skimmed her breasts. Penelope gasped at the sensation. Morgan took advantage of the well timed inhalation and initiated a deep kiss. Pulling away slightly he stated one more thing before hoisting the woman's leg up on his hip. "If you're wanting, needing some loving, all you had to do is say something and one of us would have been happy to help. Hell all of us want to help you Penelope."
Garcia felt his erection pressing against her. Reid had her so worked up not even an hour earlier, she couldn't be sure if the liquid that was pooling in her panties was because of him or the way Derek was rubbing himself against her. Morgan leaned his face into her neck nibbling her collar bone, keeping his one hand on the leg he had hooked over his hip, he used the other hand to fondle the woman's breast. Clutching at Morgan's shoulders, Garcia let her head rest back against the wall enjoying the man's attentions and moaned.

Back in the "honeymoon haven" as they had taken to calling it, the Hotch and Reid were talking.
"How long have you had feelings for Garcia, Reid?" Hotch asked casually.
"I could ask you the same question Hotch. I'm not blind and neither is anyone else."
"Fair enough." Hotch gave. "I'm jealous of you." he admitted.
"What the hell for?" Reid was genuinely confused. He had absolutely no idea what Hotch could possibly be jealous of.
"I would give a whole hell of a lot to be where you have been tonight." That's as close as Aaron had gotten to saying that he wanted Garcia.
Looking at Hotch Reid opened his mouth to reply when both men heard Penelope's moan. Reid's heart dropped. 'Well I guess she's moved on' he thought.
Derek canted his hips against Garcia's. God he had wanted her for so long. Burying his hands in her hair Morgan pressed his tongue into her mouth. It felt like forever since he had held her like this. It pissed him off to no end that she had turned to Reid to satisfy her needs. 'Fuck!' If he was being honest with himself that wasn't what was pissing him off so much. What really pissed him off was how turned on he got seeing her with her hands all over Reid. Seeing her legs open and Spencer's hands playing with her wetness. Making her moan and squirm. But most of all it irritated him how hard he got seeing Reid's hard cock. The image of Reid thrusting his hips, his hard weeping prick sliding through her hand. Fuck he thought he was past this.
She couldn't stop herself from rocking her hips against Morgan's hardness. God she needed this. She had been so close earlier to getting off earlier. Both her and Reid were so, OH SHIT! "Reid! Derek stop! No I can't do this right now." She said pushing him away.
Derek immediately pulled away, respecting the lady's wishes. Granted he was a little perturbed that right in the middle of doing his thang, his Baby Girl calls out for the man he was trying to get out of his mind.

Reid decided he had heard enough when Garcia's moan echoed out of the shower hub. Turning his back to the where he knew Penelope and Morgan were probably having sex, Reid focused his attention on Hotch. One look at the older man's face and Reid understood how he felt earlier. They were jealous. They were all jealous of the others that were able to be hands on with Penelope.
Hotch turned his gaze back to Reid, about to open his mouth to say something when they heard her call out for Spencer.
