The doors to the elevator came open and Morgan and Reid stepped forward together, not missing a beat in their conversation.
"I don't understand why you're arguing with me on this Reid," Morgan said with a cocky smile. "If you don't go out with us once in a while you know Garcia is just going to dog you until you fall in line. . ." Morgan stopped walking and shrugged. "You may as well save yourself the aggravation." he chuckled.
Reid sighed. "I thought Garica said your sister was coming in - isn't this going to be a family thing for you?" he asked, hoping to beg out.
"Spence, you guys are my family too," Morgan said.
Morgan called his hands to Spencer's shoulder. "You're not getting out of it that easily, kid." he teased. "Besides, this isn't just a complete unwork-related social event, my sister who is coming has been tapped to join the team. Garcia set this up so we could all meet up later before, and I quote 'all the icky stuff' is thrown on her plate. Garcia, Camilla, and Hotch have met some time ago and became close friends, Hotch pretty much is her dad - so she feels like we should all meet on neutral ground." he explained.
"I don't remember you having a sister named Maggie," Reid said.
Morgan started walking towards the BAU offices. "Maggie Reece," he clarified. "She isn't my sister by blood. Her mum and mine were best of friends," he explained. "I know you met her at least once or twice. Brunette, lots of attitudes, a badass," he joked.
Spencer thought back to the few times he met Morgan's family. He remembered Morgan taking him and Garcia to his family's home over some holiday. Images of people flashed through his mind but he couldn't quite recall all the names.
"She pretty much grew up under our roof after her mum passed away." Derek was saying.
"And I couldn't have landed in a better place."
Both Morgan and Reid turned towards the voice.

"Hey, there's my girl." Morgan's smile lit up his face as he stepped away from the doors and opened his arms. Reid watched as a very petite brunette launched herself into Morgan's embrace. He stepped away from them, giving them some personal space.
Maggie's smile matched Derek's. "I stopped by to fill out my paperwork," she answered and pulled back from his embrace. "While I'm here, I'd scope out the BAU offices," she turned her smile towards Reid.
"Hey, Spence," she said pulling him into the conversation. Reid stepped forward clutching his messenger bag to his front. He gave a slight smile and a brief wave.
Her laugh was a soft throaty chuckle. Spencer felt a smile current of electricity fissure up his spine at the sound. His brain took in her total appearance in about ten seconds, from her long brown hair, pushed behind her ears, her freckles, with a white tank top, black blazer, light wash jeans, and black converse that matched his. As he lifted his gaze to meet hers. He felt his mouth go dry and his pulse beating in his ears as he suddenly recalled meeting her. In a few heartbeats, he realized he'd been staring. Spencer blushed and took a sudden interest in the toe of his shoes. Maggie's grin widened.
