Chapter 18 [Case 2] BAU's Christmas Present



Chapter 18 [Case 2] BAU's Christmas Present

There are three days until Christmas.There are still two days until Christmas Eve.

Everyone in the BAU is nervous, hoping that no psychotic killer will interfere with the long-awaited Christmas holiday.

Fortunately, what they were afraid of did not happen at this time.

A group of BAUs are still desperately fighting with the follow-up events of "Queen Maker".

Dr. Reid can't wait to root in the National Archives for some inspiration.Leo Harrington, who worked hard, acted as a driver and bodyguard for Reid.

Garcia insisted on motivating Morgan to make the cold BAU office a venue for the Christmas party with him.But it was jointly suppressed by Hotch and Rossi: "Absolutely not!" They said in unison.

"Why do you say 'Queen Maker' wanted to create Elizabeth I?" Reid was mindlessly stirring a caramel macchiato in a Pennsylvania Avenue café.

A quarter of an hour ago Leo helped Reid "smuggle" the dossier out of the National Archives using the special certificate provided by Rossi.

This allowed Reid to ditch the crappy paper cups of coffee and sip artisanal coffee while reading his files in a warm café.

"I don't want to stay in a dusty file room with only lights again, reid. We are not vampires!" Leo emphasized to reid.So there was this scene in front of me.

"Remember "Midnight in Paris"? kid." Leo looked at Reid's soft side profile and beautiful neck, "Everyone has a golden age in their hearts, my little doctor." Leo explained: "Darwin wants to return to his The Elizabethan era in my heart—his golden age. And in this era, there must be a talented ruler—Elizabeth I." Leo looked at the little doctor who was puzzled in front of him: "Rising from the ruins of the Red and White Rose War The dawn of modernization is the Tudor dynasty. And the most glorious era after Henry VIII lies in his youngest daughter, Elizabeth."

"You should be a humanist, Leo!" Reid said seriously to the libertine-looking man in front of him. "Look at your description!"

"Darwin is a coward. He wanted to go back to the golden age but didn't dare to call the shots. So he hid his head and tail behind the Queen." Reid commented disgustedly, to the point.

"So both Morgan and I feel that things are not that simple." Leo sighed rare. "A coward can only fantasize at best, but doesn't have the guts to be a 'Queen Maker' and quietly do it for 15 years, maybe more.

Reid felt that the facial lines of the man in front of him had become a little sharp again, "Do you think someone planned this behind the scenes?" Reid keenly discovered the key to the problem.

"Darwin is just a pawn." The atmosphere turned cold, and even the sun that finally appeared in the afternoon couldn't change the bleakness that had penetrated into the bone marrow.

Reid feels that there is a kind of malicious peeping that exists in this North American country.

"It's horrible!" Reid paled, taking a sip of coffee to try to warm himself up.

"Maybe we are thinking too much." Leo softened his expression, and patted Reid's cold hand comfortingly.

Reid noticed that since that night, Leo's body language towards him had increased.Not quite like the man I knew before.And Leo seems to be more real than usual when facing himself, no longer using a flirtatious or cold surface to cover up anything.But what exactly? Reid didn't figure it out either.

But this discovery gave Reid the illusion of blushing.He hurriedly lowered his head and coughed, and changed the serious topic: "Leo, I always wanted to know how you got into my room when I was in the Montbat Hotel?" After asking, Reid felt that the question was a bit ambiguous, and quickly Added: "I mean, the door is locked, is it broken, and there is no anti-theft net downstairs to climb."

Leo saw through Reid's guilty conscience at a glance, but he was not prepared to expose the little doctor: "The downpipes of Montbat are on the outside of the building, with extended window sills. Isn't that enough for Reid?"

What Reid thought of was the bare water pipe, and the window sill that was estimated to be less than 30 centimeters wide... This is simply a Spiderman-style story for the little doctor with poor motor nerves.

"Cool!" Reid responded after a long while.

The big lion smiled proudly.

Christmas Eve is really peaceful, everyone in BAU thought in their own home.

Rossi happily carves up a large turkey on a plate.

Hotch and Jack are talking to Haley in Paradise.

JJ and William are very affectionate.

Morgan slithers like a fish on the dance floor.

As for Garcia, ignore her!Her Royal Highness is still spying on the gossip with the computer.

And Leo and Reid's at the gate at the airport.

"Maybe you don't have to accompany me to see Diana, Leo." Reid felt a little guilty that Leo was going to spend the entire Christmas vacation with him in Las Vegas.He understood why Leo didn't want to let himself act alone. "You're all too worried."

"Little doctor, Las Vegas is a good vacation spot. Morgan will go crazy with jealousy!" Leo smirked imagining Morgan yelling at himself as a "German guy", the smile on his face didn't need to be disguised at all.

"Think about it! Get rid of the heavy snow, low temperature, and humidity in Washington, and fly to the warm and dry casino..."

"You could have gone back to Weimar or to Berlin." Reid felt more guilty, sure Leo was reassuring himself.

"Trust me. That's definitely not the place to spend Christmas!" Leo said. "Think of the Prussian spirit!"

The iron-blooded Bismarck, the crazy William II, and the bearded Führer who wrote "Mein Kampf" immediately appeared in Reid's mind... He quickly shook his head and threw the picture out of his mind.

"Well, maybe you're right." The handsome face of the big lion in front of him was more eye-catching.

Just before boarding the plane, the mobile phones of Little Doctor and Leo rang at the same time.

The two suddenly had a bad feeling.

This feeling was magnified to the max when seeing JJ and hotch call respectively.

JJ and hotch, this is not the time to call to thank them for their Christmas presents,
