[Master Criminal Minds] When the Secret Service meets the FBI

"Wow——" Fay stretched her waist and twisted her neck. It was a rare afternoon without being involved in a case, so she didn't have to go out to work.

"Hey!" A cold touch came to her face, it was Emily who mischievously took a cup to ice her, "Tea time~"

Faye blinked knowingly, got up and looked at the boss in the office, it was good that he was concentrating on his work - slipped decisively to take a rest.

In the corner of the hall where the coffee machine was placed, Fay watched in surprise that everyone had already sat down neatly, except for Hodge and Rosie who were on the upper half floor.

Even Rhett, who had gone to the bathroom just now and hadn't returned, was the same.

——I didn’t arrive so timely for the meeting, everyone!

Fay raised her eyebrows, pulled the chair over and sat down, and heard Morgan say to everyone pretending to be mysterious, "I found a great afternoon tea, and I'm treating you today."

Before everyone cheered, Garcia approached gossipingly, seemingly in a low voice, but everyone could hear, "Because he fell in love with the beautiful manager of that company... so he has to take care of business..."

"Hey, is that so?" Fay carefully picked up a piece of delicate snack with her fingers, and looked at it carefully, "British style? Produced by a five-star hotel?"

Now Morgan was surprised, and stared at him with big round eyes, "You know all about this?"

Putting the snack into his mouth, Fay felt the sweetness that melted in his mouth instantly, narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, and then slowly glanced at the curious Mr. Detective:

"Please don't underestimate the keen eye of a self-proclaimed gourmet."

Everyone burst into laughter, watching Morgan touching his bald forehead embarrassingly, and scrambling to grab the snacks in his hands.

During the leisurely afternoon tea time, Fei Yi took a sip of the hot black tea and casually listened to everyone's various gossip topics.

I don't know if it was because of what was mentioned suddenly, Emily suddenly mentioned Rhett, "...were you really thrown in a cradle and thrown at the door of Quantico? So you know?"

Ok?

Faye slowed down his movements and pricked up his ears to listen.

Reid spread his hands helplessly, "Aren't you tired of this topic after so long?"

Before he could continue complaining, a surprised female voice suddenly interjected—"Hey~ I found it back? Spencer, we are not brothers and sisters who have been separated for many years, are we?"

Reid turned around, just in time to see his girlfriend who was afraid of chaos in the world was looking at this side with "tears" in her eyes, and her hands were still holding her face as if she was crying.

--Too fake!

He held his forehead with a headache, and his powerless explanation was buried in the laughter of the crowd, "Hey, hey, you are really enough..."

Together with Fay, everyone laughed even more happily.

Faye narrowed her eyes, and it turned out that what Emily said about BAU was right, it was really fun to tease him.

Well, but I guess I'll have to coax him well later on.

Looking at Rhett's aggrieved eyes, Faye apologized in his heart-but Rhett was easy to coax.

On a normal day without a case, it still needs to be adjusted... It seems that only in this way can I temporarily forget those sad stories.

Hodge stood upstairs, saw a group of noisy people below through the gap in the blinds, shook his head, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Then, can we continue the afternoon tea of ​​the 'Old Man'?" He turned around and saw Rossi raising the cup in his hand in a funny way. Inside the transparent glass were full coffee beans.

"It's better not to let those little lunatics see, or the coffee beans I bought back will be ruined..."

Rosie winked at Hodge, and began to fiddle with the new coffee machine.

Hodge leaned back on the seat, smelling the rich aroma gradually rising, and closed his eyes.

——It’s a pleasant afternoon, so let’s take a rest.

***

Today is destined to be a special day - Faye's birthday.

Rhett has been worrying about what kind of birthday should be given to Faye from a very early age.No matter how incomprehensible he is and has zero love experience, at least he has read all the reference books in the library about dating essentials for men and women and studying how to spend holidays together - he always knows that no matter whether it is a girl or a woman, everyone likes to have birthday surprises .

It is best to surprise and attack the heart first.

Reid looked at the girls surrounded by Garcia, Emily and the others in the distance, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief—fortunately, he asked his reliable partners to stop Fay temporarily today, so that his plan could be implemented Space.

But... Thinking of Morgan's exaggerated and hilarious expression when he heard about his "romantic plan", Rhett couldn't help but glared at the handsome chocolate guy who was leisurely drinking coffee next to him.

Morgan naturally sensed the hidden resentment in the sight of the baby Rhett under his care, and raised his beautiful thick eyebrows—he has provoked too many things with Rhett recently, which one is it because of this time?

"Spenser..." Fay came over and interrupted Rhett and Morgan's gaze, "You go home alone today, Emily and the others asked me to go shopping and watch a movie."

Speaking of which, Faye suddenly gave Rhett a meaningful look. His whole body tensed up and his hair stood on end... Could it be that his thoughts have been seen by the "enemy"?

Faye's next words made him breathe a sigh of relief, "If you don't mind joining our girlfriends' party, you can come too!"

"Uh...forget it, I'd better go home and read a book." Rhett rubbed his nose awkwardly, looking helplessly at the mischievous smile in the girl's eyes - she definitely said that on purpose.

Morgan was walking back to his seat with a coffee cup in his hand, put his arm on Rhett's shoulder with a smirk, and teased in a strange voice, "Oh boy, are you going to indulge in your little brick book again? I'd rather you hang out with them more."

This Morgan!

——It's not that he doesn't know his plan!

Even knowing that he might just be joking, Rhett still panicked unconsciously. If Faye took it seriously and wanted to invite him, how could he refuse?

Fortunately, not all of his mates are so unscrupulous.

Garcia received Rhett's distress signal, stepped on high-heeled shoes and came to Morgan with a wicked smile on his face, and began to bombard him like a machine gun: "Don't use Rhett as a shield, You don't want to let him join first, and then you come here? Tell you, I haven't forgotten the last time you left me to go out with a beautiful woman!"

"Wow wow wow!" Morgan raised his hands to express his innocence. Garcia's sharp remarks made him unable to refute and could only be defeated.

After seeing off the shopping trio at the gate of the Quantico Building, Rhett let out a long breath, and it was time for him to show his skills.

***

The first thing I do when I get home is to squat down to the bottom of the bookcase and find the gourmet recipes that I have hidden before - "About How to Fry Steaks for Praise from Your Sweetheart".

Rhett frowned, no matter how many times he read it, he doubted whether this book was really useful?

And... those seemingly simple steps actually lead to success in making edible food?

Rhett pursed his lips, and looked again at the content that he had already learned by heart.I didn't practice it once before in order to hide it from Fay, and I still have no idea...

He struggled with the steak almost from the beginning.

***

Looking distressedly at the several good steaks that had been fried in the trash can, Reid secretly rejoiced that he had considered this situation before and bought enough extra portions, which was really wise.

It's just... It's a fluke to think that my genius ability of never forgetting can show its talents in cooking... It really is impossible...

Reid, who was secretly despondently thinking about such a philosophical question, came back to his senses, and suddenly found that the frying pan in front of him was emitting black smoke again, followed by a familiar pungent smell—well, he had to admit Failed again.

This is not the most frightening thing. Reid actually found that there were only two big chunks of fresh steak left in the packaging bag!

——What will he do if it is fried again?

He wavered between going out to replenish the inventory now and talking about it later, but Rhett suddenly heard the sound of "click" unlocking the door.

who is it?

He turned his head away in horror, it couldn't be the person he thought of.

"What's this smell?" In the next second, Rhett was a little desperate, and Faye was wrinkling his nose while kicking open the door with a lot of rich "boots".

Obviously, it was smoked by the foul smell in the house.

She slowly turned to a corner of the room where someone stood at attention after a break. He was wearing a ridiculous cartoon apron, standing on the side of the cooking table with a look of bewilderment, looking at this side with eyes full of panic.

Faye scowled and walked slowly.After seeing her boyfriend getting more and more nervous, she finally couldn't hold back and raised a bright smile——

"Is this a birthday surprise for me?"

She slowly swept across the mess on the cooking table, the frying pan that was still smoking and giving off a strange smell, the black unidentified objects in the trash can... her smile froze a bit—er...maybe it was an unsuccessful surprise?

"You, you, why did you come back so early?" Rhett twitched a bit, embarrassed to admit that this failed work was a birthday present he thought of, and simply asked the question in his heart.

After all, according to the itinerary they had discussed before, they would not be able to come back until at least 9 o'clock.Rhett glanced strangely at the wall clock on the wall, the minute hand was just a little past 8 o'clock.

Hahahaha, Faye laughed exaggeratedly when he saw Rhett's goose expression, which was curious but didn't dare to ask.

"Do you think I'm so easy to deceive? The person who always yells not to disturb the world of the two of us suddenly came to pull me out to go shopping together, or is it on my birthday?"

Fay clicked his tongue and shook his head, "How can I be so slow? I realized it was probably because of you at that time."

Suddenly thinking of the inexplicable look in the girl's eyes that made him tremble when he walked over, Rhett shouted belatedly, "So you knew it at that time?"

Feeling the accusing eyes cast by her boyfriend, Feiy's rare conscience felt a little uneasy, and she murmured, "I still leave you time, I also want to see what kind of surprise you have prepared for me !"

--surprise?Don't be scared!

Reid curled his lips and looked around at the tragic situation. It is obvious that surprises are impossible now.

He was a little embarrassed, and moved his whole body quietly, trying to cover up the appalling "results" in the frying pan next to him, but how could this be hidden from the sharp-eyed Fay?What's more, when she entered the door, she had already seen everything in her eyes.

However, I always want to comfort the hurt little heart of my hard-working boyfriend.

——And to be honest, no matter how many assumptions she made before, the scene where she came in and saw Rhett's clumsiness was still indescribably moved.

"Spenser, just as I understand your thoughts, you should also understand me." Fay paused, and saw Rhett's dull face brighten a little, and then continued, "Even if you know your intentions , I still want to come back early and spend my birthday with you."

"..." Rhett felt that his cheeks were a little hot, he had already said the more explicit love words, and he had done the more intimate things, why did he suddenly feel shy when he heard such simple words?

He raised his hand unconsciously, and flapped it desperately towards his face, as if this would reduce the heat on his face—but he slowly slowed down when he came into contact with the girl's gaze staring at him earnestly .

"Then... what should we do now?" Reid looked at the mess behind him in embarrassment. He had secretly turned off the fire just now, and there was a black and unknown object on the cold pan—maybe it was called the failure of the steak. things?

"No, give it to me." Faye opened his hand to Rhett.

Rhett looked at her in confusion, uh, what can he give her now?

Faye did not reach out to ask for it, but walked directly behind Rhett, stood on tiptoe, and untied the strap behind his neck.

—The apron slowly slipped to the ground.
