Tick, tick... BOOM [Spencer Reid X FEM OC] english version

06.

Cora hugged Penelope for a good five minutes after the blonde woke up. Everyone in the room had their hug moment with the analyst, who was scared to death since what happened, like everyone else.

"Was it him?" Cora asked.

"Who?" JJ asked, holding Penelope's hand.

"My date. I thought he really liked me, that he had noticed me." Morgan sighed. "I'm sorry."

"Hey, babe, don't even think about apologizing for anything, is that clear?" the girl nodded at Derek's words.

"Did he want something from you?" Reid asked.

"No... I just thought he was interested in me."

"Oh, Garcia..." the Cuban hugged the blonde girl again. "We'll let you rest, okay?"

"But first," Emily said. "Who did this to you?"

"James Colby Baylor." Reid and Cora looked at each other.

Everyone left the room and both brunettes looked at each other, knowing perfectly well that James Colby was not his real name, but now, with all the information that Garcia had given them, it was their turn to finish off the bastard who hurt the girl.

"Cora!" The girl came back in.

"Everything okay, PG?"

"Don't treat me like a victim, okay?" The green-eyed girl smiled a little.

"Okay. Rest." The brunette left a kiss on the analyst's head.

The Cuban girl left the room again, and could notice all the eyes on her. She sat down in one of the chairs and started talking to JJ about how they were going to solve this case without internal affairs finding out.

"Derek." The brunette looked at Coraline.

"Yes?"

"I think Garcia needs you."

"He needs us all."

"You especially."

Cora helped Penelope to make her hair more comfortable than the one she was wearing, for which the analyst thanked her for each lock of hair she gathered into two braids. Reid watched the scene, happy that Garcia was getting better.
