CASEY WILLOWS HAD NEVER FELT SUCH PEACE IN HER LIFE ONCE SHE TOOK HER WELL-DESERVED VACATION. Who knew that all she needed was a month? Casey had spent time with Marco and talked to her therapist regularly — nearly every day. She felt refreshed. It was emotional, it was heart-wrenching. But she got through it.
A couple days being back home, Casey had been called in the office by Hotch. Bright and early, the sun hadn't even been out yet. Surely, the team had never been called in this early. Casey was happy to see the team up at the roundtable room. She started heading up the stairs as she heard their conversation.
"When's the last time he called a meeting this early?" Casey heard Seaver ask. "3 years, 8 months ago." Reid spoke. "And what happened?" Seaver asked again.
There was a pause before Reid mentioned: "Gideon left."
There's another pause. "Who's leaving?" Garcia asked and then she gasped: "Oh my God, is it Casey?"
As if on cue, Casey walked in the roundtable room. "I hope not, I just got back." She spoke, striking everyone's attention as she walked in the room with a bright smile on her face.
"Fair maiden!" Garcia stood up with open arms as she rushed over to the girl to give her a big hug. "Hey, Ace." Morgan smirked as he stood up, wanting a hug, as well.
"Hey!" Rossi and Seaver had decided to get a hug, too. "We missed you." Garcia tells. "I missed you guys, too." Casey smiled and gave Reid a hug next. "Hey, Spencer." She said as she did so.
Casey pulled away as Rossi spoke to her. "How have you been?" Everyone had been waiting on the girl as she took a deep breath before she answered the question. "I know it's been a month and it's been rough, but I'm much more content and focused and I'm ready to come back to work and kick some ass." "That's the spirit." Morgan chuckled.
Casey took her seat at the table and looked at the team with furrowed eyebrows. "Now, what's this about someone leaving?" She asked.
"Nobody's leaving." Morgan replied with as he sat back down in his seat. "Good," Casey nodded. "That would be pretty shitty news to come back to."
Hotch had walked into the room next. He had been the person they were all waiting on. "I appreciate everyone coming in early." Hotch tells and his eyes land on Casey as he nods at her. "Welcome back, Casey." Casey gave a small smile to the man and sensed that he had been stressing about something. "Good to be back." She said.
