Criminal Minds Main List Reid tilted his head to the side and gave Morgan a sympathetic smile.
“Garcia?”
“How did you know?” Morgan pushed his cell phone back into his pocket.
“I recognised your tone and body language. Have you noticed how often she calls you when we’re not working?”
“Pretty often.”
“Daily.”
“It can’t be that often-”
“I made a surveillance list.” Reid picked up a small notepad table. “Here’s the list of all non-work related calls during the last week.”
“Two pages?”
“Quite telling, isn’t it?”
“I can’t believe you wrote it all down….. I usually just forget the whole thing as soon as she hangs up.”
“You want to hear some examples?”
“Shoot.”
“Monday, six past eight, twenty minute call. She couldn’t wait to tell you all about her bikini-waxing.”
“Tuesday?”
“Nine to seven, seventeen minute call. She wanted to tell you about Kevin’s performance issues in bed.”
“Wednesday?”
“Half nine, fourteen minute call. She called to let you know she doesn’t have time to call you.”
“Thursday?”
“Do we need to go on? I think I’ve already made my point.”
“You did, she calls all the time. Now tell me what you got in mind, because you got that look on your face.”
“What look?”
“That same look you have when you figure out something important about an unsub.”
“Okay. I first got suspicious when I was waiting for you at the dentist’s office. They had all these old magazines, and I found an interesting article about the safety-net of females.”
“What does that have to do with me and my mama?”
“Short or long version?”
“Short, please.”
“You’re her girlfriend.”
“I’m her what?!”
“Girlfriend. The female companion she calls to tell about the positive factors of her everyday life or to unload the stress.”
“I’m not a female!”
“But you’re living with a male, gay pals were also mentioned in that article, but in this case the term Girlfriend is closer to the truth.”
“Are you saying I’m-”
“I mean it as a compliment! I know you`re one hundred percent male.”
“You better remember that!”
“So under the circumstances that can be considered to be an honorary title.”
“Okay….” Morgan took a minute to consider it. “It’s kinda flattering.”
“Yeah.” Reid agreed. “By the way, why was she calling you know?”
“Kevin’s gone for the weekend, so she’s hosting a slumber party. Pyjamas, popcorn, chick flicks and gossiping about guys.”
“And you can’t say no to her.” Reid grinned.
“I can’t say no to you either.”
“Then you should be glad Garcia and I use our powers for good. Otherwise you would be in deep trouble.”

Criminal Minds Main List “Hotchner.”
“Hey, bro.”
“Sean?”
“Who else? We need to have a brother-talk.”
“When was the last time we had one?”
“I don’t think we’ve ever had one before."
"What kind of a brother-talk are we talking about?”
“You know…. The kind where I go to my big bro and he gives me some good advices.”
“I’ve always given you good advices, but you never listen.”
“Can we just get to the point?”
“Go on.”
“What do you talk about with military people?”
“Depends on the situation I guess….”
“When there’s beer involved.”
“Just tell me why you’re asking.”
“We’re meeting some of Cain’s old buddies, they just returned from Iraq. Last time he got together with his friends I couldn’t bring anything to the table. They kept talking about the old days, and I couldn’t come up with anything to say.”
“I know it’s a new experience for you, but being quiet is not that bad.”
“It is! You should have seen the glances those guys gave me….”
“What kind of glances?”
“Remember when you were the leader of your Cub team in Boy Scouts and there was that scrawny kid who always messed up everything?”
“Yeah.”
“Let’s just say that I now understand what it’s like to be in the receiving end.”
“You were never in the boy scouts.”
“No, but every time you guys were having your knot training in the backyard I was hiding behind the bushes throwing pine combs at you.”
“That was you?”
“Forget I said that. You know any good PTS jokes?”
“Why do you need them?”
“To lighten up the atmosphere. If this get-together is a repetition of last time, we’ll get to that topic right after they’ve been comparing the size of their weapons.”
“In the middle of a bar?”
“Actual weapons. What can I say about guns? Cain’s my first bedmate who has a handgun in his nightstand drawer.” Sean pause. “Excluding that one psycho chick, but that was a hunting riffle and she kept it in her bathroom.”
“That’s a bad habit, the humidity and changing temperatures-”
“Are not good for guns, I know. I heard them talk about that too. I gotta admit there’s something sexy about shooting, but I can’t say anything about it.”
“Is the drawer locked?”
“Yeah, why?”
“Just checking. Does he let you handle his gun?”
“Of course, but I wasn’t talking about-” He started laughing uncontrollably. “Sorry, I thought you meant…. Just forget it. He doesn’t let me handle his gun. Why did you ask?”
“On our second date Chad took me to the range to test his new customised SIG.”
“Second? What was the first?”
“You should know, you were there.”
“You mean when he picked you up from a bar and you two just dumped me there.”
“He didn’t pick me up.”
“Right, you always take men home with you.”
“Sean, I think I’ll hung up now.”
“Wait, wait! What do I do with the GI Joe soirée?”
“Wave a white flag and surrender.”
