Chapter 3

The man, Hexidecimal, walked toward the group slowly, taking everything in. Then he began to speak.

"Magnet, let go of my brother. Rat, stop screaming your going red in the face and you're scaring mister Morgan here." He said indicating Spencer's partner, who had, looking very concerned, stepped forward to accept the younger man from the arms of the Spanish man he had been leaning against. He then turned to the team.

"Nice to finally meet you, Agents Gideon, Hotchner. You must be Elle and the one who calls him Spenc, J.J. right?" he moved down the line to Garcia. "And this must be the lovely and talented Penelope Garcia that Spencer always writes about." He bent and kissed her hand. "A pleasure to finally meet you Madame, oops, my mistake. Mademoiselle."

All the women giggled as he smiled at them. Hotch leaned into Gideon's ear.

"He is a charmer. Why isn't Spencer that charismatic?"

Gideon laughed and shook his head. Then Rat began yelling again.

"YOU KNEW ABOUT THIS?!? YOU DIDN'T THINK TO TELL ME THAT HE WAS WOKING FOR THE FUZZ?!?"

Hexidecimal stood his ground calmly.

"I didn't think it was relevant. I work for the fuzz occasionally and you don't mind."

"YES! WRITING CODES ON YOUR STUPID COMPUTERS! YOU NEVER BRING THEM TO MY TERRITORY!"

Then Hex began to lose his cool disposition.

"YOUR TERRITORY IS IT? LAST TIME I CHECKED IT WAS ALL OF OUR HOMES!"

Rat said something in another language that seemed to enrage Hexidecimal further, but he didn't yell. If it was possible he did something that was even more frightening.

He became quiet.

"Tao." He called quietly.

A man in many bright colors scurried to the front of the crowd, looking worried.

"Ya, Hex?" he asked softly.

Hexidecimal turned to him and smiled.

"Take my brother and his friends inside and show them to my room. I'll be in shortly, I just need to have a quick word with Rat, ok?"

The young man nodded and motioned for them to follow him. They followed willingly, wanting to get away from the drama. J.J. seemed very interested in him.

"Tao. That's an interesting name. How did you get it?"

"I picked after I came to live here." He said, smiling at her.

"What does it mean?" asked Elle, looking very curious.

"It means "Like the Wind", because I used to move around a lot, like the wind." He explained. He stopped in front of a red door. "Here we go. If you need anything, just call. Oh, and don't touch anything."

They filed into the large room and as they went in they took in their surroundings. As she entered Garcia gasped. She was in heaven.

There where computer monitors every where. Some of them were even connected to giant plasma screens on the walls.

"Hex is the computer genius in the family." Reid explained, looking around.

Garcia turned around and grinned at him.

"I'm starting to like this place."
