We arrive in L.A after a long plane ride filled with mind boggling information about the case. it amazes me that after the long plane ride none of them seem to be too jet lagged.

just as we are about to get out of the plane Hotch starts to give orders "Reid go to the dump site, see if there is anything useful, Morgan go talk to the family of our latest victim, and take Rose with you, Rose let Morgan work and just stay quite, I'll go to the station and set up. alright guys lets move" with that done we leave.
                                 ***
Morgan and I arrive at the house of the 'latest victim' or as prefer to call them, the 'Adams family' after all they are still people.
We knock on the door and wait, I can hear slow shuffling inside suggesting people heard us and are coming to the door. Morgan straightens his suit and i just stand there nervously waiting. After what felt like an age the door opens revealing an elderly lady with puffy eyes trying to force a smile. "hello, can i help you"?

Morgan suddenly looks really serious as he says to the lady "I'm agent Morgan with the FBI, BSU, we are investigating the murder of your granddaughter Jenny, mind if we come in and answer some questions"?

the lady's smile brightens a little as she opens the door for us. "of course, do come in".

we enter her quaint little house and go down a small hallway to the lounge full of rugs and old people type knickknacks. Morgan goes and takes a seat on the sofa like this is his home, i hesitantly follow him and sit next to him. the lady comes back in the room with three glasses and asks gently "would you two like a drink"?

I immediately decline her offer, just as Morgan asks "can I have a water thanks". For a second it looked like she scowled at me as she walked out, but she is probably just upset about Jenny, she did practically raise her.

The lady slowly comes back into the room with a tray carrying three drinks, one water and two that look like lemonade. She sits on the single chair next to us and hands Morgan his water then gives me a glass of lemonade although I didn't ask for one. So I decide to ask her "is that for me"?

She replies innocently "yes, I know you didn't ask for one but you look like you could use something. Hope that's ok"

As she waves me off with her hand Morgan falls to the ground after having had a drink from his water "Rose" he manages to get out while falling from his seat.

I am up on my feet in a flash with his gun trained at the old lady I says slowly "ok Mrs Adams, stand up slowly and put your hands behind your back. with that I grab Morgan's cuffs and hand cuff the lady, careful not to hurt her. then I shove her outside despite her protests of innocence and put her in Morgan's car and lock it as I call Agent Hotch to arrest her properly as I am not law enforcement of any sort. Then I dash back inside to find Morgan struggling to sit up, I race over to him, kneel down, look around and think 'ooh perfect' as I reach up and grab a cushion from the sofa we were sitting on, and place it under Morgan's head as it falls back to the floor.

He looks up at me with a slight smile and says "hey, you know I'm not dying right?"
Shocked and scared I retort "I don't want to think you are but do you know what was in that drink really M.R Agent Morgan?"
"Hey, you're young so relax kid. I feel fine, just tired and with this job I'm not surprised"
"Ok fine, but I've already called an ambulance, I did that when I called Hotch."
"What!" He practically yells at me, starting to sit up "you called my boss? Unbelievable, I could lose my job now you know" rambling to himself he counts off what he did wrong "I wasn't cautious with a suspect, damage to property, leaving unsub alone in government vehicle, not to mention I put a civilian in danger and almost got her killed"
"Ok Morgan, calm down please. No one is getting fired. You know what you did do? You made the unsub put her guard down which led to her arrest, you were drugged making you a victim so you weren't at fault for damaging the unsubs property. Leaving him alone was on me plus you couldn't do anything because you were drugged and unconscious so nothing there is your fault... And to top it off, I've been in danger since the day I met you MR Morgan, don't give yourself so much credit, that old bat was the one who almost killed me, not you, so I think your boss will understand." Stating to him matter of factly.
***
As I suspected Hotch wasn't mad at Morgan and agreed that he shouldn't be so hard on himself. The team also made a rule of no accepting drinks from anyone while interviewing them or questioning them.
Morgan is asleep in the hospital so he can recover from his poisoning. I decide to look around the hospital as I haven't been in one for a long time. The last time I was in a hospital was when my sister of sorts was sick before she died. Hospitals depress me but maybe I can make a better memory in this one now.
I turn right as I leave Morgan's room and enter the deathly pale corridor, walking down I hear clicking along the floor, sounds like far away gun shots ringing through the hospital filling the void where sound lacks. As the clicking nears I stop in my tracks and see Garcia coming into view racing toward me at a rapid pace.
When she catches up to me she stops, smiles and embraces me a bone crushing hug asking "how's my Morgan"? She pulls away slightly holding my shoulders and looking me in the eyes says "and how's my troublesome new friend"?
This genuine concern that she displays for Morgan and me catches me by surprise and I am stunned.
For a second I forget how to speak and am lost for words, quickly I shake it off and answer her "umm yeah, oh yeah yeah he's ok umm he's asleep now but the drug wasn't anything deadly, she just mixed in too many sleeping pills in his drink. I was just in there, uhh you can go see him if you want but he'll probably be pretty boring haha. I'm actually about to go see if this place has good coffee, you want some?" I point away to where I'm guessing the food place is in here shrugging questioningly.
Garcia chuckles and gives me another hug before shaking her head refusing the coffee explaining "it's better how you had it at the office before pumpkin, hospitals don't do good anything, trust me I know. Oooh but if you find a good coffee let me know where it came from and I will hunt it down every time I come here, and if you see Hotch or Reid come up can you please direct them to me, I kind of ran off up here without them. Thanks sweet pea."
With that I leave simply nodding at her information filled requests.
