Maya, Emily and JJ look into Hotch's office from Emily's desk and see Garcia talking with Hotch about a case they just got. "I so don't miss that face" JJ voices. "No matter how many cases we solve, there's always more" JJ adds and Maya nods in agreement as she watches Garcia and Hotch go back and forth.
"Insert Dr. Reid's statistic about active serial killers at any given time here" Emily says but the room falls completely silent which confuses Maya, so she looks over to Reid who is staring at Rossi across the room. "Reid" Maya calls out, but Reid continues to ignore the woman. "There's something wrong" Reid observes.
"Why do you say that?" JJ asks as she and Maya look over to Rossi who seems to be reading a book. "He's been reading the same page for 16 minutes and 24 seconds" Reid states and Maya raises her eyebrow and Emily taps her leg, "That's just what he does" Emily whispers before she scoots her chair up slightly to get more intel.
"Maybe, it's a really good book" Maya declares, arms crossed over her chest while tilting her head. "It's never taken him longer than 11 minutes, 17 seconds to turn a page" Reid states and Maya stammers over her words as she looks over to Reid.
"You know that?" Maya asks and Reid nods his head like what he said wasn't shocking.
"It's never taken you longer than 12 seconds to look at Derek when he walks into a room" Reid says softly and JJ and Emily snicker jokingly. "Shut up" Maya mumbles as she kicks Emily's chair. "What's your theory?" Maya asks, wanting to change the subject.
"I'm extrapolating probabilities as we speak" Reid says as he starts to roll up the sleeves his shirt. Derek walks in the room and Maya looks over to him as he meets with Rossi. "It only took you 2 seconds that time" Emily whispers in Maya's ear before she chuckles softly, making Maya roll her eyes jokingly.
"Rossi, could you help me with a consult for wildwood PD?" Derek asks, showing Rossi the file. Rossi raises his head, and he looks almost in shock but not about Derek's question, something else was wrong. "Uh, sure" Rossi mumbles and Maya knits her eyebrows in worry as she locks eyes with Emily who shrugs her shoulders, unsure of what to think.
"Is something going on?" Derek wonders but Rossi sits in silence looking around at the team as if he's on another planet. "How did it go the other night?" Emily asks playfully and Maya and Derek look between Rossi and Emily. "What about the other night?" Maya asks. "Are you okay?" Reid asks, looking down at Rossi with worry.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Rossi asks, slightly stammering over his words making it clear something is wrong with him. "You seem distracted" JJ voices. "I'm considering a... purchase" Rossi trails off as he looks down at the article he was reading, looking for any type of excuse.
"I'm not buying it" Maya states as she crosses her arms over her chest. "Yeah, what's really going on?" Derek asks. "Look, it was a late night with Ringo and not enough coffee" Rossi says before sipping the coffee from his mug. Maya and Emily tilt their head at the same time and analyze Rossi's behavior. "Think he's telling the truth?" Emily asks and Maya shrugs, "Could be but there's something more. I can't tell" Maya answers and Rossi smiles slightly, "You never will".
