Framed-Ch 1

Derek woke up and grabbed his head, ohhhhh what a headache, he quickly closed his eyes and threw his arm over his head, he said, "baby girl where are you"?, he got no response. He moved his leg and said, "what am I doing in bed, babyyyyyy what time is it"?, he still heard nothing, he flopped his arm over and hit something, or someone.

He jumped up and said, "what the" and just then the door was kicked open and several officers said, "FREEZE DON'T MOVE", Derek said, "I'm SSA Derek Morgan with the BAU". The head officer stepped forward and said, "well then agent Morgan would you like to tell us what happened here, what did you do to this woman"?, he said, "I don't even know her".

The officer said, "what is the last thing you remember"?, Derek thought for a minute, everything was fuzzy but finally he said, "I was in my office working on paperwork when I got a call". Everybody listened as he said, "I didn't recongize the call but being an FBI agent I answered", one of the men said, "anddddddd"?, Derek said, "it was garbled kinda like they were in a hole or something, out of range or something".

He said, "I was only able to understand a few things", another officer said, "things, like what"?, Derek said, "an address, it was 3512 Roundview Lane and then the voice said help me". Derek looked up at the name tag on one of the officers uniform and saw McMurray and he said, "officer McMurray what happened, where am I"?, the officer said, "you're in an old hotel on the end of town".

Derek said, "what am I doing here"?, another officer with the name Bryant on his name tag said, "well we're seeing several used condoms and a white powdery substance on this mirror so you tell us what you're doing here". Derek said, "I don't know, I don't", Bryant said, "let me guess, you don't remember, right"?, Derek said, "the last thing I remember was walking into an abandoned building at an address, I heard the same voice that was on the call and then the next thing I remember was waking up here".

Officer McMurray said, "first we're going to get the CSIs to check you out for evidence and then we'll get you to the hospital and get you checked out", Derek said, "then can I talk tol my team"?, the officer nodded his head and said, "yes". Derek was then walked naked into the next room where he was checked from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet and the only thing they could find was multiple scratches on his arms and chest like from a struggle".

Bryant said, "and you can see scratch marks on the victims neck", McMurray said, "be sure to do a rape kit on her and get lots of pictures of the victim and the crime scene", the officers nodded their heads yes in agreement. While Derek laid there on the bed while he was being examined he wondered what had happened and who the dead woman was in the floor.

He watched as evidence was brought over and shown to McMurray, he could tell that it appeared to be a condom, it couldn't be his, he couldn't have slept with that woman, he wouldn't hurt anybody, especially a woman". When they were through checking him for evidence several tubes of blood was drawn so that they could check him for drugs and alcohol.

Several officers continued to collect evidence, among it was the victims clothes, purse and cell and after it was all bagged up Derek watched as it was put into the CSI kit and taken away. He blew out a deep breath wondering how much longer it would be before he would be able to see his team, his family so they could help him figure out what had happened to him.

He was then allowed to put clothes on and while he was putting his shoes on officer McMurray dialed a number and after a few rings he heard, "Hotchner" on the other end. He said, "is this SSA Aaron Hotchner"?, Hotch said, "it is, who's speaking"?, the officer said, "this is officer Chad McMurray with the Virginia State police and we have one of your agents here an SSA Derek Morgan".

Hotch said, "Morgan, what did he do"?, officer McMurray said, "well sir we were answering complaints about noise and when we got here we found your agent in bed and a woman dead on the floor". Hotch said, "would it be possible for me to talk to my agent"?, McMurray said, "just meet us at the police station, he's being arrested".

Derek closed his eyes and shook his head as he tried to clear the cobwebs from whatever happened to him, when officer MCMurray was finished with his call to Hotch he said, "alright agent Morgan let's get you up and to the jail your team is going to meet us there". Derek stood up and blew out a deep breath as the cuffs were slapped to his wrist and he heard, "Derek Morgan you are under arrest for murder, assault and depending on the blood test results, possible drugs and alcohol".

Meanwhile at the BAU Hotch called a meeting in the round table room, the team was all sitting there, everybody but Derek, Penelope said, "where's hotstuff, he should have been here for this meeting"?, Reid said, "the last time I saw him was earlier today when he left, he said that he was going somewhere but that he would be back".

Everybodys attention then went to the door as Hotch walked through the door, he blew out a deep breath and said, "I just got a call from officer Chad McMurray from the Virginia State Police". Dave said, "what was the call about Aaron"?, he looked around the room and said, "it was about Morgan", Penelope said, "hotstuff, what about him, ohhhh is he hurt"?, Hotch said, "I'm not really sure of his condition at this time".

Emily said, "that doesn't sound good", Hotch said, "to make a long story short, Morgans been arrested for murder, it seems that when the police responded to a noise complaint they found a naked Derek and beside him on the floor was a dead woman, that's all I know for now". Everybody stood up and quickly made their way down the stairs and headed toward the elevator, they had to see Derek and to see what they could find out about what happened after Derek left the BAU.
