Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds

New Story as another one ends!!!


'TA Garcia.' The voice said as he was summoned into the room. Penelope looked up at him. 'Strauss wants to see you Pen.' He said in a whisper, and a sad smile, this wasn't good.

'What does she want?'

'I can't tell you but its not good.'

'Do I need to take anything?'

'No just yourself.' Penelope nodded and grabbed her purse before following Tim down the corridor they made minimal small talk, must less than they usually did, her mind playing over what she could have done. When she got outside Strauss's office she took a seat and the nerves bubbled.

'Garcia in my office now.' Came Strauss's voice, its usual mean sound. Penelope caught the glare; the woman hated her after all, always had and always would. Penelope stood silently and entered the office. 'Shut the door please.' She complied and stood there. 'Take a seat Garcia.'

'Yes ma'am.'

'I bet you have no idea why you are here do you?'

'No ma'am.'

'I'm sorry Garcia but I have no other thing to do but sack you.' She saw Penelope's features whiten. 'I want for you to go to your office and clear it out; a new tech will take over in an hour. Wipe the computers of everything they do not need and then leave.'

'I don't understand... I don't...'

'3 sexual harassment claims have come through. I'm afraid 3 is 3 too many.'

'Sexual harassment claims?'

'Yes.'

'From who?'

'That is confidential; the person has every right to remain anonymous.' Penelope nodded. 'Now go, I want you out of this building within the hour. Hand me your badge and phone.' Penelope yet again complied and left the office.

'Pen everything okay?'

'I got sacked.'

'What!' Tim said. 'Why?'

'Sexual harassment.'

'On who?'

'I don't know.' She said and left the office reception area, she walked back to her office past the bull pen and into her office. She went into the bull pen, pretended to everyone that everything was okay, grabbed a box and went back to her office, as she packed her stuff up absentmindedly she couldn't help but think who would do such a thing. When all her figurines, pens, photo's everything that made the office her lair was packed away she sat and started to put all her stuff on discs, deleting it as she went. Her job was only hers for another 8 minutes. Just as she put the last CD in her box the door opened and in came a young man.

'Garcia right?' Penelope nodded. 'I'm Jon Berry, the new TA.'

'Nice to meet you.'

'I'm so happy to get this job, I heard you're the best, the team are the best.'

Without another Penelope left, she felt like he was rubbing it in. She walked past the bull pen and felt eyes on her. She carried on to the elevator before she heard someone behind her.

'Pen.' She turned around to see Tim. 'I got these... read them, all 3 of the reports.'

'Who did it?'

'Morgan.' He said and she dropped the box and they heard things crash against other things. 'Penelope... I didn't mean for you drop things.'

'It's okay.' She said trying to hide the tears in her throat; she looked up when she saw the door open and Derek run towards them.

'Baby girl... what's going on?' Tim got up and smiled before leaving.

'If you wanted me to stop calling you nicknames, or to quit out on our friendship completely you didn't need to get me sacked.' She then pushed the button on the elevator and got in leaving him frozen with shock. He ran into the bull pen and up to Hotch's office, he knocked and entered before Hotch could order him in.

'Hotch, Garcia got sacked she said it's my fought.' He said angry that she didn't give him the benefit of the doubt, saddened that she would think something like and infuriated that he hadn't done it.

'Well I don't know why you'd do it.'

'Do what though?'

'File 3 sexual harassment claims against her.' He saw Derek's face stiffen. 'You didn't?'

'God no! Why would I? I love my relationship with Pen!'

'Derek, take the rest of the day off... go to Garcia, I am sorting this mess out.' Derek nodded and left the office, walking passed his desk, he picked up the things he needed and rushed out of the building. He drove to her apartment and blew out a deep breath when he saw her car, someone was messing with their lives and he didn't like it one bit. He parked up and did the journey to her door, he knocked and it opened immediately, he saw Penelope's reddened face, then the door started to shut and he put his hand up to stop it closing.

'Morgan go away.' Penelope said coldly her voice ready to break.

'No.'

'Look okay... I get it.' She said sounding broken. 'If you wanted a normal friendship, no nicknames, no banter, you could have asked, I would've broken it off.' She said the anger building. 'You didn't have to get me done for sexual harassment.' She saw his face change, but the anger was bubbling away. 'I thought our friendship meant something, it was different but I thought we were close, I thought I meant more to you but you're another disappointment.' She then burst into tears as she let the words escaped her lips, Derek wasted no time in wrapping her up in a hug, he felt her try and pull away from him.

'I didn't file those.' He felt her stiffen in his grasp before breaking down. 'I love you silly girl, I love what we have, I love you.'
