The storm

Episode: 11x22

"The thing is, you have to take the time or it just flies by." Tara said to Spencer as they stood in the elevator with Lily, waiting to arrive at the sixth floor.

"I know." He smiled gently, glancing at Lily, who just yesterday, had said the exact same thing as they discussed their vacations.

"I've heard Alaskan cruises are pretty amazing." Tara continued.

"Oh, that should be one beautiful trip." Lily sighed.

"Mom has a phobia." Spencer responded, to which Tara frowned.

"Of water or..."

"Cruise ships, specifically." He smiled as they all exited the elevator.

"Ok. But she's good to fly?"

"Yeah."

"All right, so there's gotta be a place she's always mentioned she wanted to go. What's the first thing that pops into your head?"

"Uh, it's Paris, actually."

"Wow. Done. Book that." Tara finished.

"You're right." He nodded, before glancing at Lily, who only smiled. "Thank you."

"If we're talking about vacations, guess where we're going!" Penelope gushed, as she appeared in the bullpen and threw and arm over Lily's shoulders.

"Hmm. To visit Emily?" Spencer smirked, as Lily giggled.

"Yes. How did you know that?"

"Lily wouldn't shut up about it those past days." He said, as the mentioned only shrugged.

"Have you ever been to London before?" Penelope asked Tara after giggling slightly.

"Yes. One time, 4 years ago. It was work/slash/play."

"This is gonna be all play." She smiled brightly. "I am leaving all my phones at home." She said, as everyone stopped and stared at her, mockingly. "You're right. That's not true. I'm going to bring them all, but I'm going to put them on airplane mode most of the time."

"Yeah." Lily nodded. "Baby steps."

"That's right, mate." She said, in a very awful British accent. "Oh, I am putting the kettle on. Would anyone like a proper cup?"

"Yeah." Spencer smiled slightly.

"Tea, which is a lot Dr. Who, you guys. No big deal."

"Where's Hotch being held?" Spencer asked as soon as he and Lily entered the conference room.

"I don't know yet. I have calls out." Rossi answered.

"Metro SWAT took him in?" Tara asked.

"Yeah, but it has to be bigger than that." The older Agent said.

"JJ's on her way here right now." Spencer announced, since she was the one to call the two of them earlier that morning.

"She couldn't explain everything on the phone because she's with the kids." Lily added.

"Ok, maybe Hotch was swatted." Penelope said. "That's an extreme prank that gamers pull on their opponents, where they fake a 911 call on them. It's recently escalated among celebrities."

"If it was a prank, they wouldn't have arrested him." Rossi shook his head.

"Unless they didn't know." Spencer said. "If someone called 911 and said that Hotch is a threat, SWAT has to respond."
