“Ready to go?” Morgan parked himself next to Reid and waited for him to get rid of their audience.
“Yeah.” Reid said goodbye to the local technician. She gave them a curious glance and left. “How’s your head?”
“Next time I want to run after an unsub and tackle him while my head is wide open…. Please shoot me.”
“It’s just a little cut, and I asked you to stay at the motel. And anyway, you caught the guy.”
“Yeah, but my head feels like a bongo drum and Jimmy Dean is banging out his last solo.”
“Jimmy Dean?”
“It’s just a saying, forget it. Can we go now?”
“I just called Hotch, we’re meeting the rest of the team at the motel.”
“And then we can leave?”
“Yeah.”
“Great. If I have to listen to that foghorn on the phone one more time…..”
“You mean Peterson?”
“Who else? Did you see Rossi? He looked like he would pull out his gun anytime a phone rang somewhere.”
“She’s just doing her job. You flirt with Garcia all the time and it never bothers you.”
“That’s different. Garcia’s not…. You know.”
“Scary?”
“Right.”
“She is.” Reid corrected.
“She’s not.”
“What about the time she tried to install spy cameras to our bedroom?”
“Well, there was that-”
“And when she hacked into the security feed to see us in the communal showers.”
“Yeah-”
“And when she wanted you to jump out of her birthday cake-”
“Okay, she’s scary sometimes.”
“Yeah. I love her dearly, but she’s really scary sometimes.” Reid commented. “And you can never predict what’s coming out of her mouth next.”

Sean turned around on the blanket and tried to get comfortable. The sun was shining warmly and his magazine was only halfway read, but the continuing cuckoo echoing from the woods did terrible things to his concentration. He dumped the magazine on the sand, focusing his attention on the man currently swimming back from the opposite side of the lake.
Cain came out of the water, jogging to the blanket. He grabbed a towel from the bag.
“Are you sure you don’t wanna take a swim?”
“I tried the water, it’s freezing.”
“It feels freezing if you just dip your toes in there, princess.”
“Don’t call me that. I agreed to spend two days in the middle of nowhere, but I never said I would freeze myself to death.”
“I swam for half an hour and I’m very much alive.” Cain measured Sean with his eyes, like a predator sizing up his victim. “You want me to prove that?”
“Don’t you dare….” Sean tried to escape, but it was too late. Cain leaped on top of him, pressing him against the blanket. “You’re all wet! And cold!”
“You’re not gonna warm me up?” Cain pressed his wet skin against the other man, all the way from head to toe.
“Great, now my clothes are wet too-”
“Shut up.” Cain silenced him with a quick kiss and pulled himself up. “Back to the cabin, I’m hungry.”
“What are you gonna cook?”
“I was gonna light up the grill.”
“Macho man in the middle of the woods, frying meat….. I should have seen that coming.”
“Keep going like that and I’ll let you starve.”
“I could drive back to town. Wherever that is.”
“I got the car keys.”
“So I’m trapped?”
“Yep.

Motel, Houston
“Hello?”
“Spencie baby! How`s everything?”
“Hello, Garcia. We`re fine, we`re flying back in few hours.”
“So you got time for a chat?”
“Depends on how much you`re planning to speak.”
“Chatting is a two way street.”
“Not with you.”
“Just because you turned my Hunky Adonis into your personal lapdog, you don’t need to give me attitude.”
“Sorry, we`ve had a tough day.”
“Did somebody get hurt?”
“Well…. Morgan did. But that wasn’t work related.”
“Then what was it?”
“He had a little accident while mountain climbing.”
“Of course..... Are you gonna ask me about my vacation?”
“Why bother? You’ll just start bragging about some weird role-playing thing you’re doing.”
“Come on, ask me.”
“No.”
“I promise, I wont brag. Just try to guess.”
“Girl scout?”
“No.”
“Lifeguard?”
“No, hairier.”
“Yeti?”
“No, shorter.”
“Just tell me.”
“I’m that adorable guy from Stargate and Kevin’s doctor Mckay.”
“You’re playing Daniel?”
“Who’s Daniel?”
“The cute guy in Stargate.”
“The one with the glasses? No, I mean that one with the messy, black hair and eternal five o’clock shadow. Always in those yummy black T-shirts.”
“John Sheppard?”
“Yeah, that’s him.”
“He was in Stargate: Atlantis. And McKay too.”
“Who cares, I know they were all over each other every time they weren’t on a mission. Just like you and my ChokoDumpling.”
“So I’m a grouchy Canadian with weight issues?”
“Well, you’re a genius and he’s a genius! And he was always hot in that cuddly sort of way…. And he had really nice, strong arms..... and big hands….”
“Garcia?”
“Mmmmm…..”
“Garcia?”
“Sorry, YummyBrain, I need to go and molest Kevin right now or my head will explode.”
Morgan eyed Reid for a minute. The genius just stared at his cell phone with an unreadable expression.
“Everything okay?”
“She hung up on me.” Reid snapped his phone shut and shoved it to his pocket.
“She does that sometimes. Are they doing something weird again?”
“That wasn’t really hard to guess. I think her imagination and her libido share the same twists and turns. That is probably the only possible explanation that doesn’t require any deeper analysis.”
“Well, I’ll take her over Peterson any day.”
“Me too.”
