"So, what do you think of the pink?" Elijah asked as he walked towards the kitchen,"Too much?"
"I think it's nice, I like the fact that just the middle finger is black." Reid nodded.
"Garcia thought it would be funny." Elijah hummed.
Reid grabbed the coffee machine and poured the coffee into his mug as Morgan walked in. Reid then grabbed the sugar and began dumping it in.
"Easy there, tough guy. Have some coffee with your sugar." Morgan nodded to him.
"I need something to wake me up." Reid shrugged.
"Late night?" Elijah turned to him, sitting on the counter.
"Very." Reid sighed.
"My man." Morgan chuckled.
"Not that kind of late night." Reid quickly replied.
"Now tell me, what does keep young Dr Reid awake at night?" Morgan walked up to him, coffee cup in hand,"Wait, lemme guess, memorizing some obscure textbook. No, no, no, working on cold fusion. No, I got it, watching Star Trek and laughing at the physics mistakes."
"Actually there aren't that many scientific mistakes in Star Trek, especially considering how long ago it was made. There are certain improbabilites but not that many outright errors." Reid explained.
"Right." Morgan nodded as he went to leave
"Hey Morgan? Elijah?" Reid bit his cheek.
"Yeah?" Elijah titled his head as Morgan turned back around.
"Do you ever have dreams?"
"I'm sorry?" Morgan raised a brow.
"I suppose nightmares would be a more accurate description.."
"Is that what's been keeping you up?" Elijah asked, sliding off the counter.
"I used to get them occasionally but lately I've been getting them every night." Reid explained.
"What are they about?" Morgan raised a brow.
"This. What we do... Do either of you have nightmares?"
"Reid, I'm not sure if I'm the right person for you to talk to about this." Morgan shook his head as Elijah sat quietly.
"Why not?" Reid blinked.
"It's just... Did you ask Gideon about it?"
"No." Reid sighed.
"You should." Morgan nodded.
"Hey, Hotch wants everyone in the Round Table room... Something up with you three?" Elle pointed.
"No." Reid answered quickly, walking past her.
JJ walked into the Conference Room,"McAllister. Western slope of the Massanutten Mountain in Virginia. Two bodies discovered in the woods, both with apparent blunt force trauma to the head."
"Skeletons?" Reid raised a brow as he looked at the file.
"One of them. The second victim was killed just this morning." JJ nodded.
"How do we know there's a connection?" Elle asked.
"Found about seventy five feet apart with nearly identical head wounds." Hotch sighed.
"So where's the rest of the case file?" Elijah asked.
"There isn't one. The sherrifs are on scene waiting for us." Hotch shrugged.
"The location is only half an hour away by plane." Fleur pointed.
"What's the rush?" Morgan questioned.
