"I told you, I don't need a ring." Elijah assured Reid as they drove to Fleur's apartment.
"It's not fair." Reid shook his head.
"It's alright, honest."
"It's too late." Reid hummed.
".. Did you get me a ring?" Elijah asked slowly.
"..What? No.."
"You can't lie to me." Elijah pulled over by Fleur's apartment.
"I like things being fair." He nodded.
Elijah smiled and kissed Reid's cheek,"I love you, Genius."
"I love you too." Reid chuckled,
"They're taking for ages."
"Well, that's not an issue for me." Elijah wrapped his arm around Reid's shoulder.
Reid hummed and turned to face Elijah.
"Hey, hey." Morgan opened the door.
"God, is this what it feels like to be you?" Elijah sighed, looking back at Morgan.
"What do you mean?" Morgan blinked, sitting down with Fleur in the backseat.
"Getting interupted when you're trying to have a nice moment."
"Nice moment? I think you mean kisses." Fleur hummed.
"Yeah, those are nice moments." Elijah pointed before he started to drive.
"Kisses are good." Fleur chuckled,"So, what do you think will happen today?"
"Hopefully nothing too bad." Morgan shook his head.
"Maybe.. A murderer. An adult one."
"Yeah, something simple." Elijah nodded.
"And quick."
"Oh, wouldn't that be something." Morgan sighed.

"Why is the army here?" Fleur blinked as they walked into the office.
"What the hell is going on?" Morgan looked around.
The squad then walked towards the conference room where a woman with some cups was.
"Guys, this is Dr Linda Kimura, Chief of Special Pathogens at the CDC." JJ introduced them.
"Hello." Emily nodded.
"Hello." Linda hummed,"I am sorry to meet under these circumstances."
"What circumstances?" Reid tilted his head.
"We need to get started." Hotch sighed.
"Last night, twenty five people checked into emergency rooms in and around Annapolis. They were all at the park after 2:00pm yesterday. Within ten hours, the first victim died. It's now just past 7:00am the next day. We have twelve dead." JJ explained.
"Lung failure and black lesions." Elijah looked up from the file,"Anthrax?"
"Anthrax doesn't kill this fast." Fleur shook her head.
"This strain does." Linda told her.
"What are we doing about potential mass targets? Airports, malls, trains?" Emily suggested.
"There's a media blackout." Hotch answered.
"We're not telling the public?"
"We'd have a mass exodus." Morgan shook his head.
