SCOUT GLANCED AT her ringing cell phone, mentally cursing herself on whether or not to pick up.

The screen of her device flashed, revealing the name of her favorite blonde. If she picked up, what could she lie about? Why was JJ even calling her in the first place?

"Hello?" The brunette tried to steady her voice as well as she could as she drove with one hand.

There was a lull in the conversation before an extremely audible sigh from her friend erupted.

"Wiley, if you keep this up, the whole FBI is going to think that we are together."

Scout pouted, "And is that really such a bad thing?"

"Look, I've got to go. Just - don't get into any trouble and stop spreading rumors. The other day, Mikey from the Security Department asked if we wanted to have a threesome and -"
