A/N: Sorry this took so long. I decided to do chapters 4, 5, 6 on paper before I decided to post them. Plus high school started back up again…Ugh…And also I was working on my new fanfiction. Same old, same old-I do not own Criminal Minds In my dreams, I do :p
Chapter 4
Waiting for her chocolate thunder to return, Penelope was engaged into conversation with Reid, Prentiss and JJ. "You don't need any more dairy," Prentiss said as she watched him take a dairy tablet and plopped it into his mouth.
"I love dairy," Reid looked at her. He then changed his direction to the doors where he could see Morgan walking out of the elevator. He could tell he was a bit angry mixed with another emotion that Reid couldn't pick up on. "You're back.
Morgan let out a deep breath. "Yes." He flopped down in his chair.
"You okay?" JJ asked.
Penelope looked at him with worry. She knew he was angry; not just at Anne for not being a loving mother to their daughter, but also at himself for not being able to stop her from seeing Anne. "No."
"Well at least she's just staying for two days," Reid said. "Then she'll be home and you can get Anne out of her life.
Tamika wasn't sure what to do. Her mom didn't tell her where she was going, she didn't bother to even take her along. She wanted to call dad but she can't remember his number. She went in the living room to watch some tv.
She then heard the door open. MOM'S BACK!
"Tam-eee," Anne called drunkly.
Tamika didn't move from her spot, instead she cringed. She knew when her mom was drunk she got abusive. Her boyfriend was helping her in. "I got a visitor for you."
"Anne this is a bad-"
"Shut up," she interrupted Doug.
"She going to a new family."
A new family?
"You're going to give away your own child!" Doug exclaimed. And all of a sudden Doug went down. Tamika's eyes widened. Behind Doug stood a man wearing a suit just like her dad did. He looked familiar too.
"Hello Tamika," the man said with a smile. He then turned to Anne. "You got your money. I will take her now, and I will call you as soon as we're far enough." He turned back to Tamika. "You get whatever you need, sweetheart."
Tamika just stared at her mom. "Mom?" Her voice quivered.
"Do as your told." Before Anne could raise her hand towards her, the man grabbed her tightly.
"You do not hit her. Once you sold her, she became mine." With a hard shove, Anne fell back. The man walked past the teary-eyed Tamika. After several minutes he came back from Tammy's room with her school bag and her stuff dragon Aunti Pennie gave her. Then he grabbed her; Tamika burst into tears, kicking and screaming for mom.
But all Anne did was nothing.
It was Hotch and Rossi's idea for the team to go out and enjoy themselves. Which involved dinner at an Italian restaurant-Rossi's suggestion- and going to a club then back to Rossi's to have a drink- the team's idea. Drunk and tired, the team passed out one by one: Hotch and Rossi were the first taking up a couch. Hotch's head was on Rossi's leg and Rossi's head was on the arm of the couch. Reid was leaning against the couch where the two men where snoring away. JJ and Emily had enough will power to get them into a guest room before collapsing on the bed. Penelope and Derek were on the floor. Penelope was snuggled against his chest; he took out his phone and with a rational decision he decided to call his daughter in the morning
