“Hey, kitties.” Garcia greeted when Morgan and J.J. returned to the office.
“Have you heard from Hotch and Reid?” J.J. asked and pulled her coat off. “We
had to shut our phones when we went to the hospital.

“Yep, Hotchi-Chi-Chi called. They’re gonna stay there at some motel, they didn’t
wanna drive overnight.”
“Did they say any else?”
“Nope.”

“I’ll try calling them, we didn’t get anything new out of that witness.” J.J. flipped
her phone open. “And after that we can all probably go home. We can’t really do
anything more today.”

“Good, you’ll call him, and I’ll have a little chat with my Muscle Bunny.” Garcia
grabbed Morgan by his collar and dragged him to her lair.

“Mama! Mind the shirt, I just bought it last week.”
Garcia sat down on her seat and crossed her arms over her chest. “Lets hear it.”
“Hear what?”
“What’s going on with you and Brainiac. And don’t even try to say `nothing`, you
can’t fool me.”

Morgan sighed and decided to give up. “How did you know?”

“When you two walked in this morning he went to the other end of the table when
there was an empty seat next to you. And when you went to the coffeemaker he
left in a hurry. With an empty cup.”
“You’re good.”
“Tell me something I don’t know. And don’t try to change the topic. I was gonna
ask you about it this morning but then you got a new case.”

“It’s not the new case.” Morgan paused. “It was the old one. The one we wrapped
up yesterday.”
“What about it?”
“It…. got me. The whole child molester angle.”
“I think it would be stranger if that didn’t get to you.” Garcia commented.
“I mean I couldn’t get it out of my head, and when we went home….” Morgan
swallowed. “It got little bit out of hand.”
“How out of hand?”

“I mean…. I tried to act normal, and we went home and we ate, and went to
bed, and….”
“And?”
“You really need to ask?”
“Nahhhh, I got the picture.”
“The case kept going round and round in my head, and I got angry and…. And
it got little rough.”

Garcia looked at him with her mouth open. She tilted her head to the side.
“Did you…?”

Morgan looked absolutely horrified. “No! Of course I didn’t hurt him! I just…
I think I really scared him.”
“Honeyyyyyy…. Did you talk to him about it?”
“I tried in the morning, but he kept explaining how we’d be late for work and we
really need to get going. Honestly it felt like he tried to run away from me when I
got anywhere near him.”
“Well, now you got all night to think how you’re gonna fix it.”
“Yeah, I thought I could talk to him after work, but now he’s on the other side of
the county, shacking up with Hotch.”

“Chocochimp…..”
“Yeah, yeah, I know that’s unfair.”
“Have you called him after they left?”
“No….”
“Call him. And fix it or I’ll put you across my knee and give that yummy tush a good
spanking.” Garcia grinned. “Actually, we could do that anyway.”

“Some other time.” Morgan pulled his cell phone from his pocket. He went to the
empty locker-room and dialled a number.

“Hello?”
“Pretty Boy, it’s me. You got a minute?”
“I guess. Hotch in the shower, we we’re going to go get some food when he comes
back. The place next door closes pretty soon.”
“I wanted to… We need to talk about last night.”
“What about it?” Reid’s voice sounded unusually shaky.
“You really want me to say it? You haven’t let me anywhere near you since we
left in the morning.”

“I… We were busy, new case and all.”
“We weren’t that busy. I’m sorry. I got worked up with the case.”
“Can we talk about this when I get back? Hotch`s getting ready to go, so…. I’ll call
you tomorrow, okay?”

“Do I have a choice?”
“You wanna talk about it with a hungry Hotch?” Reid tried to keep his tone light,
but didn’t really succeed. “I need to go. Bye.”
“Bye.” Morgan responded, but Reid had already ended the call.

“How did it go?” Garcia asked from the door and Morgan jumped up from his seat.
“Don’t do that! And this is the men’s locker-room!”
“So what? You’re fully clothed, unfortunately, and everyone else is long gone.How
did it go?”
“It didn’t go. He said he was busy with Hotch and all I got was a quick bye.”

“How are you gonna handle it?”
“No idea. You got time?”
“Yep. Scotch or icecream and sprinkles?”
“Can I get both?”
“If you ask nicely. Come on, lets go. Mama will consult on this.”
