IT HAD BEEN A FEW WEEKS SINCE CASEY MET THAT CUTE GUY AT THE COFFEE SHOP. They were supposed to be going out pretty soon. For now, Casey was piled on with paperwork at her desk and took a break once she noticed Emily and JJ staring up at Hotch's office and Garcia handed him some paperwork.
"I so don't miss that face." JJ comments. "No matter how many cases we solve, there's always more." Emily tosses her thumb over to Reid. "Insert Dr. Reid's statistic about active serial killers at any given time here." There had been no response from Reid - which caused Casey to look up from the paperwork she was filling out. "Reid?" Emily asked.
Casey turns her head over and sees that Reid is in deep thought. At first, Casey thought he was staring at her, but he had been looking over at a focused Rossi. "Spencer..." JJ whistled. "Earth to Reid." Casey adds. "There's something wrong." Reid said.
"Why do you say that?" JJ asks as she turned over to Rossi. "He's been reading the same page for sixteen minutes and twenty-four seconds." Reid says, standing up from his seat and looking at his watch. "Maybe it's a really good article." Emily figured. "It's never taken him longer than eleven minutes, seventeen seconds to turn a page." Reid explains.
"You time how long it—" JJ and Casey give Emily a look. "Are you really surprised? It's Reid." Casey comments. "What's your theory?" Emily asks.
"I'm extrapolating probabilities as we speak." Reid begins to head over to Rossi, which leads to JJ, Emily and Casey to follow behind. Morgan walks through the doors and over to Rossi, as if on cue. "Oh, hey. Rossi, you think you could help me with a consult for Wildwood PD?" Rossi looks up at Morgan and he looks like he hasn't gotten much sleep. "Uh, sure." He says, uneasily.
"Now, that I noticed." JJ comments. "Is something going on?" Morgan asks, catching on. "How did it go the other night?" Casey asks, talking about how Rossi has rekindled with his first wife and she raised an eyebrow at him. "What happened the other night?" Morgan asks, interested. "You okay?" Reid asks.
"Well, why wouldn't I be?" Rossi shrugs. Emily and JJ exchange a look. "You seem distracted." JJ tells. "I'm considering a purchase." Rossi says and Casey and everyone looks down at his newspaper of an ad for a thrift store. "Come on, now, Rossi, you know we're not buying that. What's really going on?" Morgan asks.
Rossi sighs, "Look, it was a late night with Ringo and not enough coffee. I mean, the guy's a world-class drummer, but don't think I didn't wipe the floor with him in rock band." Rossi says, sipping from his coffee mug.
