The low, steady drone of work in the BAU was abruptly shattered. Stepping out of Hotch's office, I was immediately caught in a whirlwind. A flustered Spencer Reid crashed into me, his glasses nearly flying off. Before I could even ask if he was okay, he let out a panicked squeak and took off down the hall. Derek Morgan was right behind him, a predatory grin lighting up his face. 'Oh no you don't!' Morgan called, his long strides easily catching up. He scooped Spencer up, fingers digging mercilessly into his sides until Spencer was laughing so hard he could barely breathe. Then JJ and Emily Prentiss slammed into my back, pushing past with gleeful shouts, and I was pulled into the epicenter of a full-scale, office-destroying tickle fight.
