Couple days later I got to the bau. Emily, Derek, David, Spencer and Penelope were already there, in the conference room. I walked in and took my seat.
"Hey, sorry I'm late. There was some technical issues that required my attention and resulted in me not making in on time," I said.
"Overslept?" Emily asked.
"Yup," I said.
"We were just talking about how almost every single one of us was kidnapped at some point," Emily said.
"That's a weird choice of a topic, but good for you I guess?" I said.
"It really is," Rossi said.
"Well, good times it was. It's nice to be held sometimes," I said, "Hostage or not."
Everyone laughed.
"Why do I get a felling that you didn't get enough love as a child?" Penelope asked.
"Have you met our mother?" Emily asked.
"She's got a point, babygirl," I told her.
"She's my babygirl, you can't just steal her like that," Derek said.
"Watch me," I replied, "So what's the deal? Got a case?"
"No. Not yet, anyway," Spencer said.
"Cool. Wanna get your ass kicked at poker, pretty boy?" I asked him.
"I never lose, but sure we can play. Anyone else in?" He asked.
"Yeah," everyone replied in unison.
"Well, prepare for you first time then," I winked.
"You wish," he said.
"Where's everyone else?" I asked.
"Hotch left, said he'll be back in a while. And JJ is in her office," Derek said.
"Alright, let the game begin," I said.
We dealt the cards and started playing. We played for a good while. Derek going bankrupt first. By the end it was only Spencer, David and I left in the game.
I squeezed my eyes looking at my cards.
"Okay, give me three cards," I said.
Reid laughed and Emily gave me three cards.
I forced my micro expressions to show dissatisfaction for a split second before fixing it. I knew they were watching.
"Alright," I said after a while, "I'm going all in."
"Right," Spencer said, going all in too and David following eighth behind him, "You're bluffing."
"Am I though?" I asked.
"Yes, yes you are tesoro. Your face told us that," Rossi said with a proud smile.
"Okay then, I'm checking," I said.
Rossi laid out his cards, "Two pair."
"Gonna beat that, boy wonder?" I asked.
"As a matter of fact, I am," he said and laid out his cards.
"Damn, a flush? Really?" I said shaking my head.
"Yep," he said, gathering all the skittles.
"Woah, woah. Not so fast," I said, laying out my cards, "Four of a kind, thank you very much," I said proudly, taking my skittles and eating a few.
"What? But ho- how?"
I laughed, "Told you to get ready to get your ass kicked."
"But you drew three cards, that's, I mean, how?"
