School started last month and I'm sad. I didn't take NEARLY as many classes this time, but my brain still hurts... I mean I'm taking more than I did last year, but I decided that I need some sleep so I cut my hours. I'm going to be in Hong Kong for my study abroad this year! YAY!
So here's the awesome story and I need your HELP! I have readers all over the country/world and I need to reach ever section I can that might have a comic book store. I'm looking for The Losers by Jock and Andy Diggle, published by DC Vertigo. I need issue one, Dead Man's Hand. If you happen upon it near you, can you send me the name of the store and their phone number? Who ever finds it for me gets either a story from any show/book/cartoon/movie/cartoon/video game OR gets to have their own OC that they designed in any one of my next stories that I'm writing.
I greatly appreciate it!
"Hotch?" JJ called quietly, watching Morgan and Hotch pile luggage onto the cart outside the last hotel room to be occupied by them. The older man turned to her and she smiled. "Can I talk to you real fast?"
"What is it, JJ? We're about to head off." Hotch asked, moving away from the others and towards his younger coworker. She just smiled and backed a little farther down the hall of their hotel.
"Well, it's about Reid."
Hotch blinked and glanced towards the man in question as he was struggling to release himself from a Morgan induced headlock. "What about him?" Hotch said as Morgan released his lover and rolled the luggage cart down towards the elevator.
"He seems a lot happier since-." JJ stopped and smiled knowingly up at Hotch.
"You know?" Hotch said, trying to stay stoic even though his heart skipped a beat and panic took hold suddenly.
"I'm surprised the others haven't noticed." JJ murmured, shaking her head slightly in disbelief. "The way Spence's eyes light up when he looks at you is enough of a give away."
Hotch stayed quiet. He didn't know what to say. He looked passed JJ's shoulder towards the rest of the team as they followed Morgan and their bags. He swallowed. "We should go." He said after a brief silence, talking a step around JJ.
"You know, I'll keep your secret." JJ said. "I just wanted to let you know I'm happy for the both of you. Both of you deserve a little happiness."
Hotch stopped and nodded, his lips twitching into a grateful smile. "Thanks, JJ."
The plane ride was soothing. The roar of engines brought enough background noise to distract without being obnoxious. Morgan had his headphones in and dozed in one of the seats with his hear resting against one of the windows. Rossi and Prentiss sat across from one another, their noses in individual books. JJ texted Will. Reid sat beside Hotch, reading a book that rested in his lap. Hotch watched the clouds and world fly beneath them, fading in the distance, like their last case, as they moved towards a new one.
The silence they had was peaceful. The hum of noise from the plane was unbroken.
Hotch nearly jumped when he felt a weight suddenly fall on his shoulder. He looked down and saw a familiar mess of brown locks. He smiled to himself as soft snuffles sounded from Reid and his book fell from his lap, hitting the side of Hotch's leg.
Rossi looked up from his book to stretch his neck, but stopped and stared at the sight, seeing the rare smile on Hotch's face as their leader stared out the small plane window, allowing the youngest member to rest against him.
Prentiss looked up to see Rossi staring over her shoulder. She turned and saw what had pulled his attention from his favorite book.
JJ glanced up to see them staring and smiled to herself. No one made a comment. A stillness fell over the cabin as a silent approval surged through and everyone fell back into what they had been doing, letting Hotch and Reid live in their private moment.
Together With You- End
There's the end and yes, you are to notice that Morgan does not figure it out yet. That's to come.
