Derek Morgan, The Player That He Is...

Chapter 7.

Morgan walked into Hotch office. He stood in the middle of the room looking at Hotch. Hotch walked around to the font side of his desk & sat on the edge folding his arms as he instructed Morgan to have a seat. Morgan reluctantly went to take a seat in the leather chair. the room was silent for a min before Hotch talked.

"are you sleeping with Prentiss again?"

Morgan fidgeted in his chair as the question was obviously making him feel uncomfortable
"damnit Hotch, is that any of your damn business?" Morgan said angrily "because last I checked that's my business, not anybody else's"

"........I'll take that as a yes. you do realize that is against the FBI BAU protocol. in other words forbidden." Hotch said sternly. "and it became my business when you decide to sleep with one of my team members. This better not interfere with you or her performance out in the field or else be ready to face some intense consequences"

Morgan was irritated and didn't have anything to say

"are we done here Hotch?" he cocked his head to the side refusing to make eye contact

Hotch rested his fist at his mouth and paid attention to Morgan's body language and nodded. He could tell he was uncomfortable and hit a nerve. He basically got the answer he wanted. "Go."

Morgan got up and walked out of the room slowly. he turned to look at Hotch but still didn't have anything to say. he left. "Damn" Morgan said as he punched the wall in the hall on his way out. He knew he made it clear to Hotch by saying nothing because he didn't deny it. He had went through this before and Hotch put a stop to it (so he thought) as he warned Emily and Derek that next time he will have to report them to Strauss which could force one of them to leave the BAU or lose their job entirely. the thought of that made him sick to his stomach.

*Outside it had began to rain*

Morgan ran into Reid on his way outside who was flagging down a cab. "hey heyy" Morgan said as he sprinted a little towards Reid. Reid stopped the driver and opened the door for Morgan to get in.

"Thanks pretty boy" said Morgan as he shook his somewhat wet shirt from the rain

"Yeah no problem" said Reid as the driver drove down the road
"So where to? Home?" asked Reid
"..yeah I guess so. although Penelope ditched me for the girls"
Reid laughed some "tough blow"
"Oh you think that's funny pretty boy?" Morgan said while laughing a little too
"oh but I do. like a lot."
"alright kid." Morgan calmed them down
the car ride grew silent and they soon looked out of their windows getting lost in their thoughts. about 15mins passed before Dereks phone started buzzing. It was Garcia. "hey hot stuff, are you busy?" Morgan replied back "no mama what's up?"

Reid channeled his attention to Morgan's phone and him looking with a questionable face curious to if something was going on and if it were work related

"Prentiss is a drunk mess. Is it possible you can come to her rescue and take her home? JJ and I are too tipsy to go opposite way across town to take her home :/" read the next text that Garcia sent

Morgan sighed and nodded as he replied "no problem baby girl, I'll be there soon" He pressed send then put his phone in his back pocket looking up at Reid. Prentiss is drunk and needs a ride he told him.

"haha typical.." Reid said with a shrug as they arrived at his house. The cab let him out while Morgan stayed behind.

"how much do I owe you? Reid asked the driver, but before the guy could answer Morgan butted in saying "Don't worry bout it kid, I got it" and waved goodbye as the driver drove off to the their famous bar.
