Bare It All-Ch 1

Penelope was all smiles as she stepped off the elevator, she took a deep breath and started walking toward her lair. She stopped when she heard her boss Aaron Hotchners voice saying, "Garcia can I see you in my office please"?, she said, "yes sir' and turned around and followed him.

As they were walking toward the empty bull pen she said, "where is everybody"?, he said, "out for a few more hours, I needed to talk to you and Derek". Penelope looked at him and said, "D D Derek, why"?, he grinned and said, "you're not in trouble, it's just something came up and I need to talk to the two of you before everybody else shows up for work".

They walked into his office and she said, "morning hotstuff", he laughed and said, "morning sweetness", she then walked over and sat down beside him. Hotch sat down behind his desk and said, "the rest of the team will find out about the case when they get in but I need you two to know what's going on now because you won't be here when they arrive".

Derek and Penelope looked at each other and then at Hotch and Derek said, "where will we be"?, he took a deep breath and said, "undercover". Penelope said, "undercover"?, he said, "yes, I'm going to send you two undercover to Bare Necessities".

Penelope said, "uhhh sir that's a nudist colony", he said, "yes, yes it is", Derek laughed and said, "and you're sending us there why"?, he said, "because several of the bi-racial couples have ended up dead over the past few weeks". She motioned between her and Derek and said, "but we aren't a couple and we've definitely not seen each other naked".

Hotch opened his mouth to speak and Derek said, "let me get this straight, you want me and Penelope to go undercover in a nudist colony"?, Hotch nodded his head and said, "well this isn't coming from me, this is coming from higher up on the chain of command".

Derek said, "no way man, baby girl is not going undercover, especially at a place like that", Penelope said, "I agree with Derek, why me"?, he said, "because we need a couple that will pass as an actual couple and trust me when I say you two will pull that off with no trouble".

Derek said, "but", Hotch held up his hands and said, "sorry but my hands are tied, you two leave just as soon as our talk here is over". Penelope said, "but sir", he said, "I know that you aren't an agent, that you are a computer analyst but Garcia you are the woman for this job".

She took a deep breath, "what if I do something wrong"?, he said, "you won't, I trust you and Derek and I know that you two will do a good job". Derek intertwined their fingers and said, "don't worry goddess I'll take care of you and I won't let anything happen to you".

Penelope said, "you said bi- racial couples", he said, "I did", Hotch said, "they are invading the couples homes and torturing them before they are found a few days later". Penelope took a deep breath and said, "are we going to have enough time to learn our backstories"?, he handed them both a folder and said, "you will have several hours on the trip up there".

Derek said, "will you and the rest of the team be close by"?, he said, "we will, we will be in town and we will be in contact with you". Penelope said, "how"?, Hotch said, "take this", he handed them both an earwig and said, "we will notify you by sending you a text message".

Penelope said, "how will we know that the message is from you"?, he laughed and said, "don't worry you'll know, you'll definitely know". He stood up and said, "you two better get started", she stood up and said, "come on hotstuff let's get this show on the road".

As they walked toward the elevator Derek sighed hoping that he would be able to do this job and keep the most important woman in his life safe.
