“Can you handle this alone?” Morgan kept his voice low. He kept glaring at the people around them like he was expecting to be ambushed at any minute.
“You’re not getting out of this, the protocol dictates-”
“I know, but they’re after me. Haven’t you seen the glares I got when we came in?”
“We’re the only visitors here, of course they all turned to look at us.”
“You got your gun?”
“Morgan, they are old people spending their remaining g years at a nursing home, not a group of terrorists waiting for a chance to blow you up.”
“Old people hate me. Last time we interviewed one she hit me on the head.”
“With a fist?”
“With her cane. If I turn my back for one minute they’ll try something.”
“You’re generalising an entire age group based on one bad experience?”
“No. Remember when we were in Idaho working on that cannibal case?”
“Yeah.”
“I went to interview a witness with Prentiss and she spit on me.”
“Prentiss?”
“The witness!”
“Maybe she was having problems with her dentures.”
“She was not! And you don’t like kids or dogs, I’m allowed to have my thing.”
“I’ve been working on interacting with both kids and dogs and I’ve achieved a certain level of positive successive results. Just work on it, they’ll warm up to you.”
“Warm up to me? See that guy there who’s lighting up his pipe? He’s just waiting for a chance to set me on fire.”
“He’s on the terrace, there’s a window between you two.”
“He’ll find a way….”
“You’re just being paranoid-”
“I’m not. You go and do the interview, I’ll wait in the car.”
“Morgan, if you leave me here alone I’ll tell Garcia.”
“That’s not much of a threat.”
“Remember what she said she would do to you if you ever again leave me alone on a case?”
“Yeah, but old people like you. This is nothing like that case.”
“You left me alone and a one-legged hooker with a Hitler-moustache bit me. What are the chances that would happen twice? Astronomical.”
“Old people don’t like me but they like you, they think you’re some sweet little kid.”
“And what do they think you are?”
“Apparently…. A liability.”
“Nobody’s gonna hit you. Everyone’s been friendly, you have nothing to worry about. That one guy even tried to give me his coat when we were outside.”
“He was almost blind, he thought you were a coat rack.”
“Anyway, it was a friendly gesture! Morgan-” Reid glanced over the man`s shoulder. “Don’t freak out-”
“What?”
“There’s an old woman approaching you. Just stay still and don’t make any sudden movements.”
Morgan stilled. He could hear slow footsteps approaching him, followed by a loud snif. A croaky voice yelled behind him.
“Alma! Don’t waste your mascara, this one’s one of those…. What’s that word?”
“Cat-lover?” Another voice suggested, yelling from the small dining area where a group of woman was having coffee. “That sort who lives with a man and a slew of cats?”
“Definitely. My nose doesn’t lie.” The woman moved on to Reid and took a good sniff at his cardigan. “This one too!”
She turned and started her slow trek back to the dining area. Morgan let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.
“See what I mean?” Reid grinned. “Totally harmless, and she didn’t even try to hit you.”
“Well…. Well…” Morgan wasn’t sure how to respond. “Well, she was wrong! I hate cats.”

“I know I promised to do this but….” Cain groaned. “Can we just forget this?”
“This is my birthday present!” Sean beamed. “And you’ve done it before, I’ve seen the pictures.”
“That was a one time deal. And it was just an underwear add.”
“Spencer did the same thing for Morgan’s birthday.”
“You’re lying.”
“Nope.”
“Okay, I’m ready.” The photographer announced. She had pulled up a black and white background of clouds and set an assortment of cushy pillow on the studio floor. “And if you chicken out at this point I’ll still take the same pay.”
“Promise is a promise.” Sean reminded. “And I’m too greedy to share the pics with anyone. They’re just for my personal entertainment.”
“Fine.” Cain stepped in front of the background and pulled off the bathrobe, leaving himself in a pair of snug fitting white briefs. He gave the photographer a challenging look. “Let’s just do this.”
She moved behind her tripod and started snapping pictures. Sean stayed just behind him and kept his eyes on Cain. Snap after snap he seemed to relax and started to pose for the camera. The photographer hurried to switch in a new roll of film and continued snapping pictures. Sean kept talking non-stop, babbling out dirty suggestions about what they should do after the session and Cain couldn’t help laughing.
Finally the photographer paused and turned to talk to Sean.
“Think we got we wanted? I got six more frames left, but I got more film my car.”
“Six?” Cain asked and a crooked grin spread on his face. “Princess?”
Sean send him an annoyed glare.
“This is for you. Happy birthday.” He pulled off his briefs and flashed a wide smile for the camera.
