I still feel bad for how i acted yesterday, i don't know what was with me. And i didn't want to apologise over the phone so i've waited for them to get back, any second now. I could feel something was happening when i spoke to you during the case hours and then when i talked to Prentiss. Something just tells me something happened. Maybe someone got hurt? You or Morgan? Maybe Prentiss? No it was her i was talking to. Now i'm just overthinking it, it's probably nothing. There is a knock on my door before it opens.

"Hey baby girl, you asked to know when we're back" Morgan says and that overthinking panic comes back.

"Is someone hurt?" i ask before i can stop myself.

"Nothing serious, we all made it through" and that's not the answer i wanted. I wanted either 'yeah, we're going to the hospital' or 'not a scratch on either of us'. Not 'nothing serious'. He can see the panic going through my head. "Hey chill, she didn't even need stitches. Just a cut" and i know instantly that he's talking about you. He turns out the door as someone else comes in.

"Hi, you okay? Morgan waved me over but then he just bolted" you say with that magic smile of yours. 'Please Penelope, get yourself together' i have to give myself a mental reminder.

"You got hurt" i just state instead.

"I'm fine Penny, i feel on some nails" and as soon as you say it you see in my face that it was the wrong choice of words. So you show your bandaged hand. "Look, nothing serious. It doesn't even hurt anymore. It's not even gonna leave a scar"

"Hey, you girls in?" JJ sticks her head through the door and interrupts what i was just about to say.

"Yeah i'm in, which reminds me that i've got to go. I'm surprising Lena for lunch" you start to walk out but i stop you.

"Sorry, about earlier" you raise your eyebrow as to question about what. "My attitude when you called from the plane"

"It's okay, i just guessed you hadn't drunk your coffee yet" you say with a smile and before you walk out again you say. "I'll see you guys tonight"

"What's tonight?" i ask JJ as she looks back at me. She had followed you with her gaze into the elevator.

"We're going to this place called P3 tonight that Sloan suggested, bringing partners to the ones that got them" as she says the last bit, i see Prentiss throw a ball of paper at her head before saying.

"Hey, i heard that" and we can't help but laugh.

"I'll text you the address and we'll see you and Kevin tonight" and with that she leaves without me having a chance to even think about going.

I feel the need to admire her as she walks over to the table i'm sitting by. The way her long raven hair is put in a ponytail, how her warm brown eyes meet mine, how her light brown skin shines in the sunlight through the windows above us, the freckles on her face only lighting up more. Her doctors coat around her and her dark blue scrubs.

"Well hello Dr Goodwin" i say with a smile as she sits down with a salad of her own.

"Good afternoon Supervisory Special Agent Sloan" she answers with the same mirrored smile. "Now what gives me the honour of having you as company? I thought you had a case?"

"I did, we got home about two hours ago" i answer as we both took the first bite out of our food. As i do she can see my hand, quickly taking it in her own and i wince as she touches it. "It's nothing really, won't even leave a scar"

"I thought that by joining the BAU you wouldn't have to come home with new wounds" she says with sad eyes as she lets go of my hand.

"I'm still an agent Lee, it's just closer to home" i try to give her that smile back so i decide to add my apology to her face. "And i am sorry for not telling you about leaving. I promise to do better, if you give me another chance"

"I don't know.she has a smirk on her face as she pretends to think about it. "I guess i could give you another chance as it was your first case"

"And it won't happen again" we both have smiles but hers is the only one to reach her eyes. "Oh and we're both invited to P3 tonight, Prentiss thought it would be a good idea for us all to get to know each other"

"Prentiss? That's Aaron right?" i can't help but laugh, so does she.

"No, that's Emily love, Aaron's last name is Hotchner. I'm sorry but we're more official there than with... than before" i stop myself before mentioning my last team. We continue to talk about the BAU so that she doesn't get there tonight and has absolutely no clue about anything.

"So you're Sloan, Emily is Prentiss, Aaron is Hotchner, Morgan is Derek, JJ is Jennifer while Garcia is Penelope and Rossi is David?" she was more surprised than me that Penelope was on that team than i was but we already covered that. "So why is JJ the only one that doesn't go with her last name?"

"I don't know, i didn't ask. But i guess it's easier. JJ equals Jennifer Jareau, it just somehow makes sense"

"So why not call Penelope Penny or Pen or something?"

"I call her Penny, Morgan calls her baby girl for some reason, they flirt like all the time. But in profesional manors we all go by last names, it's just us in the team that call Jareau JJ"

"Okay..." just as she's about to ask something more, a bunch of doctors run past the cafeteria and her pager starts beeping.

"Go, i'll see you tonight" i just say as i already know how this goes.

"P3, tonight at 7 pm, i love you"

"Love you too" i call after her and as dramatic as it sounds i actually think 'running away to save some lives' but it's what she does. Now that i think about it, she's like a female version of Derek... Shepherd i mean, Mark's best friend. I know we have Amelia, she's hot and all, but nothing like her brother except for both being Neurosurgeons.
