[ VIDEO; LOCKED TO THE DEFENSE FORCE ]

Can I have your attention, please? I have a few announcements to make.

First of all, if you haven't already heard Derek Morgan is no longer with us. I'll be stepping in as temporary leader for the Investigative Team until a new leader can be elected — if you're interested in the position, come talk to me or Kitty.

Second, all of you who were assigned to the Investigative Team during our stay in Squall are highly encouraged to file out reports regarding our time there. Anything and everything you can think of, even the most insignificant of details can turn out to be of great use later on.

Data, it'd be great if you could come see me whenever it's convenient.

I'll be at the Defense Quarters HQ all afternoon if any of you need any help or have questions. That's all for now.

[ ACTION; OPEN TO ALL ]

[ True to his word, Reid will be at the Defense Force headquarters all afternoon, working away on his own Squall-related intel and pondering how to best report the rather startling discovery they might've stumbled upon.

Later in the evening he can be found in the education center music room, playing a rather familiar piece followed by the second movement of Beethoven No 8 sonata, Pathetique. A little slow and full of stumbles, but the boy tries. ]

	Yeah, he did... I'm not saying he didn't, but we come across a lot of people that do. It's not always plausible to keep in touch. [ So he plays instead and keeps a picture of a blond woman and her family in his wallet. A woman he never met that still saw him through some rough times. ] Doesn't matter much here anyway, does it?

	Do you really think that? That something that is important to you just stops mattering here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-03 07:46 pm UTC (link)
	No... of course not. I just mean that there's not much I can do to change it — it's still important but if I was back home and you asked me the same thing? I could do something aside from what I'm already doing, if I wanted to. It's kind of... not a lot to discuss, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She nods a little.] There's not a lot to act on. It doesn't mean we can't talk. I like hearing about this kind of thing. I get to keep getting to know you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We can do that. [ He pauses for a moment before pulling out his wallet and then a photo that had up until now been safely tucked away inside. He hands it over to her for a better look. ] Gideon gave this to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-04 02:08 am UTC (link)
	[She knows it's important. Gideon gave it to him and if that was all then it would still be enough.] Who are they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-04 12:47 pm UTC (link)
	Deborah Louise Addison. That's her husband Tim and their kids Amber and Keith. In 1995, Deborah was walking home from school. She was abducted... thirteen years old. Gideon and his team profiled the UnSub and located her before he was able to harm her. She still sends a letter to the BAU every year, keeping us updated on her life.

	That picture must have meant a lot to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-04 02:35 pm UTC (link)
	It did. He used to have pictures in his office of the people he'd helped save... called them his "family". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It sounds nice...and lonely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-04 02:39 pm UTC (link)
	Lonely? [ No, he can see it. He's just curious what she thinks. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-04 02:42 pm UTC (link)
	They're mostly memories, right? Even when they're alive they have their own families and lives to move forward with. I'm sure some of them are grateful, but they don't want to look back at what's probably one of the hardest times in their lives. A room full of pictures, but no one to go home to for the holidays.

	thisiscalm 2013-07-05 01:14 pm UTC (link)
	I wouldn't say that... [ Could be so much more convincing, and he knows it. She's not wrong, but she's not entirely right either. ] Sure, working at the BAU isn't exactly the best grow-ground for a good, solid family life but we're not entirely alone either. We take care of each other... and it's not like we don't have friends or family outside of work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was thinking just of Gideon. I wasn't including you in that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-05 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	Even so... it's not like he was alone. He had a family of his own. Friends. Us. [ Me is what he wants to say, because although the BAU is like one big family they had something special. Something different, and then they didn't. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-05 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	[She reaches up, turning his head just enough so he can lean in and kiss his forehead.] Then he is a lucky guy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-05 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	[ That is so adorable and does well to take the edge out of his voice. Gideon is still such a sensitive subject. ] I suppose so. He didn't have a girl like you though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-05 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	I only know one guy who does. [And she is giving him such a smile right now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-05 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	[ That smile needs to be kissed, so he does. Good save. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-06 12:00 am UTC (link)
	[Good kiss too. There is a lot of love over here.] You're pretty amazing, you know that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-06 12:13 am UTC (link)
	You're one to talk. [ Gentle little shoulder nudge. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-06 05:37 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I know I'm amazing too. That was never in doubt. [Gentle return nudge.] I need to hear more of this piano playing of yours now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-06 12:15 pm UTC (link)
	Alright... how about this, then. [ He takes a moment to find the right keys before beginning to play ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2013-07-06 03:46 pm UTC (link)
	[She resists the urge to lean on his shoulder as he plays. It's lovely and she doesn't want to hurt the flow of his movement. Instead, she listens quietly, watching his hands move. He has really good hands.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thisiscalm 2013-07-06 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	[ Maybe it's because he wants to impress her or maybe he's just not quite as practiced as he'd like to be, but either way it doesn't take too long before he stumbles on a note. Ouch. ] Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
