Garcia had brought in some old Nintendo DS's, so the team were playing Mario Kart, Reid in the lead.

"I'm gonna get you, pretty boy." Morgan shook his head.

"Not a chance." Reid shook his head.

"Out of my way." Fleur then took over the lead.

"My thumbs hurt." Elijah sighed.

"You're doing great." Reid nodded.

"I'm last."

"Don't worry about that." Reid pointed.

"I suppose we've all lost to Fleur anyway. Again." Elijah nodded.

"Hey, we haven't lost yet." Morgan pointed.

"I'm winning those chocolates." Fleur nodded.

"Not if I have anything to do with it." Morgan shook his head.

"Derek Morgan, you watch it."

"Guys, what does a blue shell do?" Elijah raised a brow.

"Elijah!" Fleur gasped.

"It hits the first place player." Reid chuckled.

"So I.. Shouldn't have thrown it?"

"Yes." The boys nodded.

"No!"

"Oops." Elijah looked away.

Reid then overtook Fleur, going over the finish line,"Yes!"

"I did something right!" Elijah smiled.

"This games stupid anyway." Fleur muttered, putting the DS down.

"Hun, it's just a game." Morgan chuckled.

"Stupid game." Fleur shrugged.

"I'm sorry, Fleur." Elijah patted her shoulder.

"No, you're not." Fleur looked away.

"I am."

"Prove it."

"How do I do that?" Elijah sighed.

"Rematch. Me and you." Fleur pointed.

"Fleur, we've already been playing for an hour." Elijah shook his head.

"One more, please?" Fleur held her hands together.

"Will you stop being angry with me?" Elijah asked.

"I will."

"Right-"

"Guys." JJ walked over,"We've got a case."

"I'll battle you on the plane, don't try running." Fleur pointed as she got up.

"I wasn't going to." Elijah shook his head.

Reid took the chocolate packet, opening it and taking a bite as they walked to the Conference Room.

"The Halbert family. They were murdered last night, in their home, in the Denver suburb of Cherry Creek." JJ put pictures on the screen,"This is the third home invasion like this in the last month."

"They kill everyone." Hotch nodded.

"Parents, kids, pets, if they have them. Always families, always nice neighbourhoods." JJ added.

"What do they take?" Reid asked.

"Nothing they can't fit in gneir pockets. Cash, jewellery.." JJ sighed

"Theres hundreds of ways to get cash and jewels without killing entire families." Hotch shook his head.

"That's why home invasions are so hard to profile, multiple motives." Morgan shook his head.
