14.1 ; SECRETS.
CAROLINE YAWNED AS SHE stepped through the glass doors into Quantico. The cool night air brushed past as the doors shut behind her. She had only been awake for thirty minutes and shaking off the drowsiness hadn't gotten any easier since she left her apartment. The call from Gideon had woken her up from her measly two hours of sleep and to say she was exhausted was an understatement. With her brother's wedding only a few days away, all the last minute arrangements and details were left for her to finalize.
She was determined to make sure this wedding went perfectly according to plan. She, as well as her family, needed it to.

"Because," the tech analyst said as she wrapped her arm around Caroline's shoulders, "it just so happens to be a very special someone's 23rd birthday!"
JJ simply grinned at her as Spencer stared at her in shock. Caroline forced a smile on her face.
"Why didn't you tell me?" The young doctor asked, his eyes wide. "If I would've known—"
