Derek and I made some more small talk, just about work and whatnot.
"You look tired kid," he told me with a scoff.
I laughed. "No. Well, maybe a little yeah," I admitted.
"Go to sleep," he told me.
"What no," I responded. "We've got a case to work."
"Yeah but we just left Quantico, and we're going to Washington. You have a good three hours to sleep," he told me, and stood up.
"It's actually five hours and forty-four minutes, and thirty five seconds, give or take, of course," I told him.
He turned and looked at me like I was crazy. "Ok kid, that's plenty of time to sleep," he scoffed.
Hotch had apparently been listening in. "Ok, you heard the boys. Everybody get some shut eye, we'll be informed on everything when we get there in the morning!"
I felt a light blush spread across my face; I looked up at Derek. "Has everybody been listening?!" I mouthed to him.
He shrugged as he sat back down, throwing a blanket over us. "Don't worry 'bout it kid," he breathed. "Let's just get some sleep, 'kay?"
"Yeah," I whispered back, snuggling into his shoulder. "Goodnight."
I was met with his soft snores.


I jolted awake when the plane hit the ground, and I squinted in the bright setting sunlight.
I glanced around, noticing the rest of the team was still asleep, except Hotch. Morgan had theorized that he didn't sleep, which was, in fact, impossible.
Hotch rose, and began walking towards the exit.
"You talk a lot in your sleep," he said as he walked passed me.
My mouth dropped open. "Wh-What did I say?!" I asked nervously.
He chuckled. "Don't worry about it, I was the only one that heard it," he smirked, and opened the plane door.
I continued to sit there stupidly. "Where are you going?" I finally asked him.
"Coffee run." He said. "Oh, and you're in charge of waking the team up," he told me. "Have everybody inside by six p.m."
"Oh, ok."
     I glanced at my watch. It was eight forty-five eastern time, so it was five forty-five here. "Oh shit that's fifteen minutes," I muttered to myself. "Ok everybody, we're here!" I said, clapping my hands together. "Wake up!"
     Nobody moved. I groaned, and began shaking Derek's shoulder.
     "Hmm?" He asked with his eyes still closed.
     "I need your help-"
     "What? What's wrong?!" He asked immediately, opening his eyes.
     "...waking the team up," I finished.
     "Oh," he laughed, and I joined in.
     "We have like, ten minutes," I told him.
     He looked at me with wide eyes. "Oh we gotta hurry!" He jumped up from his seat, and walking over to Rossi, and shaking his shoulder.
     I smiled at him, and walking over to Emily and JJ to wake them up.
