Dorothea's POV
Opening my eyes, I see that I'm alone on JJ's couch with a note from JJ attached to my laptop. It was letting me know that she would be back soon because she was getting me food. Standing up, I grabbed Spot and walked out of the office towards Penelope's lair.
"Speak." I hear Penelope say while I entered the room.
"Garcia, I need you to check something for me. I'm looking for a stray bombing in a bazaar somewhere in Egypt approximately thirty years ago." I hear Spencer say on speaker.
"Okay, great. That's not too obscure." Penelope says when I sat down on the chair next to hers.
"I don't need you to give me details. We're just trying to set a baseline for Jind Allah's truthfulness. I need to know if it happened at all." Spencer tells Penelope.
"When I know, you'll know." Penelope says before hanging up and turned to face me.
"You're awake sweet pea. You've been asleep for about three hours now. JJ told me that you really needed the rest." Penelope says when JJ enters the room with some food in her hands. She walks over to me and hands me the food when Penelope goes back on the computer.
"How did a terror cell get its hands on anthrax without a single lab reporting a security breach?" Penelope asks while I eat my chicken wings.
"Would you know if a foreign lab had a breach?" The two women looked at me before something flicked in Penelope's eyes.
"A foreign lab? Actually, no." Penelope said before going back on the computer.
"Garcia, isn't Annandale where Morgan and Hotch are?" JJ asks, causing the other woman's eyes to widen in shock before dialling Derek.
"That's not a gas main explosion...Please pick up. Please pick up. Please pick up." Penelope said while JJ came to sit down beside me.
"We saw the explosion on TV. Oh, God. Do you need anything?" Penelope said before hanging up.
"They're alright?" JJ asks her.
"Yeah. We lost a S.W.A.T. agent." Penelope tells us while I continued to eat my food.

JJ's POV
"How goes with the CIA?" Dorothea was in my office right now because I wanted her to be away from all of this. Especially because she's stressed about Emily being hurt to the point that she puked out her dinner. Emily informed me that she needs food for her type one diabetes.
"I don't know what Gideon said to them, but they are feeding me information like crazy." Penelope responded while looking at her computer.
"They sure do generate intelligence."
"Yeah. Hopefully not too much to interpret." Penelope says before I exited her lair and headed to my office where Dorothea was. Dorothea was sitting on the couch working on her schoolwork while her dog plushie, Spot sat beside her.
"How's the English assignment coming along?"
"Sorry JJ, I am taking you away from the investigation." Dorothea said while I sat beside her, holding onto Spot.
"You aren't taking me away from work, because right now Garcia's just investigating the files the CIA sent over. Who gave you Spot?"
"Erin Strauss did when she rescued me from James. She saw that I did not have any toys and got me Spot. She helped Mommy get the job here so I would be able to go with you guys on some adventures." Dorothea tells me.
"That's sweet of the section chief to give you Spot."
"You do not like her." Dorothea notes while playing with my fingers.
"She's a good person, just a hard boss. But you're allowed to like her and I don't want you to think otherwise."
"Are you my friend?" Dorothea asks me.
"Of course I am and so is the rest of the team. We're not just your friends, but also your family." Dorothea smiled before hugging me and I hugged her back.

Emily's POV
"How was Dorothea?" JJ indicated to her lap where Dorothea was fast asleep, clinging onto JJ's shirt.
"She's been good, just had a rough time eating because she was worried about you. She's also working herself ragged and I had to have her take a nap." JJ explained while I sat down on the couch beside her.
"She's been adjusting to everything. She's got an appointment with her psychiatrist, Dr. Mary Riddle in two weeks. Thank you for helping Dorothea."
"I adore sunshine." JJ tells me while playing with Dorothea's hair and I couldn't help but smile at her. She's so caring and makes me feel things I've never felt before. JJ gave me a smile that made my heart flutter.
