You and Penelope never got on well. You two were just grateful you were a field agent and she was the technical analyst so you could avoid each other whenever you could.

Your relief of about to get on the ket and away from her was short lived, when Emily said, “Garcia, you’ll be joining us in the field for this one.”

You closed your eyes and sighed, muttering a quiet “you’re kidding” under your breath, earning a disappointed glance from Emily. Penelope didn’t look too thrilled either. She rolled her eyes and sighed as she followed you onto the jet, making sure to sit at the furthest seat from yours. When the jet landed, Emily grouped you all together, putting Spencer with JJ, Tara with Walker, Rossi with herself and Luke, and Penelope with you.

You watched Penelope widen her eyes in disbelief as Emily paired you together to go to the local station. You groaned quietly as everyone stood up and Penelope waited for you. She glared at you as you got up and said, “Okay, hurry up, we have to actually get along for this one case.”

You rolled your eyes as she hurried you. You heard her mutter something under her breath that sounded a lot like, “I can’t believe my luck.”
