"Ughghhhhgh." I moan as I roll across my bed to grab my phone. The bright light blinds me but I can see it's Hotch calling.
"Morgan" I say in a groggy tone.
"We have a case. You need to come into the office." He says so matter-of-factly. That's how Hotch says everything.
I turn to look at the clock on my nightstand. "At 6:30 in the morning? Ugh how bad is this case?" I hear him sigh over the phone.
"It seems pretty bad." He says quietly.
"Alright. I'll be there in 15."
"Okay see you then." He says and the conversation is over. My room is silent again. I rip the covers off and haul myself out of bed. I hate these early mornings.
I step off of the elevator and walk through the glass doors and see Hotch a few steps ahead of me. He turns around and says "Conference room. Now." I nod and follow him. As we walk into the conference room I see JJ and Penelope along with a dark haired woman. A beautiful dark haired woman.
Just then Hotch says "Everybody meet Agent Prentiss." He says it so dismissively. How could someone dismiss her. I reach my hand out and introduce myself.
"Derek Morgan."
"Emily Prentiss." She says shaking my hand and smiling. Man does she have a nice smile.
"We can make nice later." Hotch says. Shutting down our intoduction. I can tell he wants to get on with the case. So JJ immediately starts briefing the team.
"The DEA raided what they thought was a hardened meth lab, right here in Northern Virginia, but instead they found this." She says as she brings up a photo of a bomb on the screen. From my experience with bombs I can tell it's a dispersal device for chemical weapons. A sophiscated one at that. Hotch was right. This is a bad one.
JJ contines briefing us pausing when someone has something to say. Then she places a paper on the table. She says it's a message the DEA intercepted but it's the original trancript. Agent Prentiss picks it up and says "Oh it's in Arabic." And then she starts reading the message. My jaw drops. She can read Arabic?!?! Wow. I guess I wasn't the only one surprised because when she stop she looks around at the team then blushes and looks away. "I traveled around middle eastern countries when I was younger."
We all walk away and Hotch tells me to get my go bag and go with him. "Is Agent Prentiss coming with us?" I ask.
"No she's going with Gideon and Reid. Come on we have to go." He answers.
So I grab my bag and follow him. There will be plenty of time to get to know her later. Besides, I need my head in on this case.
