Third Person

Dave sighs as he reads the tabloid in front of him: Capitol M for Moretti, as he makes his way through the bullpen to pour himself some coffee. Garcia steeps a teabag into her mug and peeks over his shoulder seeing her favorite socialite on the cover. 

"So, she's in D.C" she asks and Dave looks over at her finally tearing his eyes away from the picture of his daughter saluting whichever pap took her picture for the cover. "Yes, she's in D.C" he admits and Garcia seems excited.

Reid watches them from his cube asking "Who's in D.C" and before Dave can even get a word in Garcia answers "Gianna Moretti; New York socialite, absolute icon, and daughter to our dear David Rossi." Spencer's eyebrows raise before he asks "Why is she famous" and Penelope seems offended by the question before she whips out her tablet and groans "You really need to get online, gorgeous."

She immediately goes to Gianna's Instagram, the only social media she actually has, which holds her hundreds of pictures at club openings, bars, festivals, parades, and Penelope's favorite: her iconic #LoveWins parties on the anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling. 

Rossi just sighs once again as he leans against the desk and Morgan approaches just in time to video of Gianna in New Orleans for Mardi Gras last year. 

"Woah" he comments before averting his eyes and Penelope just sighs in admiration "Oh, to be her" making everyone look at her as if she's lost her mind. "What" she asks and Spencer just shrugs "Someone keeping themselves that busy with all those things is likely trying to escape something, most likely within their own mind. She posts a lot about social events but barely anything about her personal life meaning she's just doing it to put on a show for everyone else. It's actually kind of brilliant for someone with a following like hers to do so because this way she keeps her followers entertained with her lavish lifestyle and craziness, but she never really shows them anything about who she is."

Everyone gapes at him as he just shrugs and Rossi sips his coffee as Penelope looks absolutely heartbroken. "It's all a charade" she asks and Spencer nods apologetically "Most likely" as Dave just tells them "I'll bet, based on her social media, you'd never guess she has her Ph.D. in Criminal Psychology."

"Who does" asks JJ walking in with a folder that likely holds a new case for them to work on. "Gianna Moretti" Spencer answers and she snorts "The ecstasy-addicted socialite? No way" making Penelope shoots her a look that almost screams shut up. "My daughter and yes way" Rossi explains calmly and JJ's eyes go wide as she looks around for any way to get out of the awkward situation

Spencer and Derek fight back laughter as Kate joins the group asking "What's going on here" and Penelope just holds out the tabloid. "Ah. Meg loves that girl, but honestly, I don't want her following her" Kate explains "She's not a great role model for a teenage girl to have" JJ agrees and Dave just excuses himself.

"She's not a role model. She's said it hundreds of times. She's a 27 year old woman who lives her life the way she wants to live it and it isn't her job to raise your children" Penelope defends ruthlessly taking everyone by surprise. She just twirls on her heels and follows Rossi up to the conference room.

"We've got a case" orders Hotch finally leaving his office and the team springs into action with Gianna Moretti fresh on their minds.
