67I wanted to drop in a teaser for my new crossover story. I'd love to know what you guys think. It lands about 4 months after No Way Out 2, so that's why I put this little teaser here for "Terror in Tahoe"

BAU Headquarters
Morgan looked up as Hotch called his name from the catwalk.
"How would you feel about accompanying me to Sacramento to teach a two-day seminar?" the unit chief asked.
Morgan shrugged. "I don't mind. I haven't been in that part of California for several years. In fact, an old college buddy of mine lives in that area." He narrowed his eyes as a thought occurred to him. "I thought the speaker lineup was already set. What happened?"
"Theresa Davidson who was supposed to present one of the lectures was in a car accident last night. She's going to be fine, but she's won't be out of the hospital before the seminar starts," Hotch explained. "We should have some downtime so feel free to call your friend." He turned and headed back into his office.
"Hopefully, your seminar won't end up like Dad and mine did," Reid remarked.
Morgan chuckled. "No movie sets in Sacramento, pretty boy," he teased.
"I wasn't talking about the movie sets, Morgan." Reid retorted with a grin. "At least you don't have a girlfriend to worry about if a celebrity takes a liking to you."
"Speaking of girlfriends, how is Whitney doing?" Morgan suddenly sobered as he recalled the attempted murders of Sarah Gideon and Whitney McAllister.
Reid sighed. "She's dealing with the aftermath of what happened with Frank as well as can be expected. She said she's looking into talking to someone from the hospital's EAP program. I didn't know this but apparently some hospitals offer counseling for their employees and since it's free for her, she wants to look into it. She still has nightmares although they've lessened in frequency over the last four months."
Morgan nodded, "Taking a life is never easy. Even if it was self-defense."
"Exactly. She's getting there but it's still just going to take time for her to recover."
Lake Tahoe, California
Matt trembled as he hurried from the building. He blinked rapidly as he tried to hold back his tears. This couldn't be happening to his little brother. Not to Cody. Not when he was only sixteen years old and had his whole life in front of him.
"It's not fair," he thought to himself. "It's just not fair."
