Not too sure what Derek did before he got to the FBI, so I made up the part about what he did, that you'll soon be reading.
Sadly I don't own Criminal Minds, CBS does. I just borrow Morgan and Garcia time to time. Enjoy.
**********************Saving The Unknown************************
The entire BAU had gathered in the office, where not 30 minutes before Hotch had told Derek that they were arresting his daughter, Alice.
"What evidence do they have against her Hotch?" Derek demanded to know.
"They found her fingerprints on two of the victims bodies. Which leads us to believe she is responsible because according to the other girls she is withdrawn and quiet."
"Maybe they were her friends.." Pen started, but Rossi interrupted.
"Alice fits our profile. She is the odd girl out in her grade and could be jealous of the other girls."
"That's just a theory Rossi! We weren't sure!"
"I think since Alice is your daughter, your letting it play with your head Derek." Rossi said. "You're the one who suggested the whole 'jealousy' issue."
"What can we do?" Pen asked. "There has to be something."
"We can try to go back over the crime scenes again." Reid suggested. "There might have been something forensics missed."
"Okay." Hotch said. "Reid, Morgan you guys review the crime scenes. Rossi and I are going to go talk to the head officers. Garcia go over all the girls background information in the school to see if another one of them fits our profile."
"Yes sir." Pen said; then she quickly hurrying back to where she had set up her computers.
Pen scanned through every girls file in the school, looking for something, anything to help get her daughter out of jail.
As she was doing this however, her mind kept flashing back to her college years when she first met Derek.
FLASHBACK
Friday, April 14th 1995
She hadn't wanted to go to Chicago for three weeks. However when staff at Cal Tech insisted she had talent with computers and wanted her to sign up with a program in Chicago about aspiring computer analysts, Pen knew she had to go.
She had been waiting in the lobby of the building she was supposed to be at for a good 40 minutes and was about to give up when a young man dashed into the room.
"Sorry I'm late." he quickly said. "I know you had a appointment with the company a while ago but I was running late today. I'll make you a deal. I'll take you to dinner, out for ice cream anything. Just please don't mention this to my boss."
"Okay, I won't. I don't even know who your boss is." Pen said.
The man smiled at her. "Thanks. By the way I'm Derek Morgan, we spoke on the phone earlier."
"Penelope Garcia." she said, shaking his hand.
She handed him her paperwork and as he scanned it into the company's computer he said:
"So California huh? That's pretty cool."
"Well if you consider earthquakes, five hour traffic jams, and extremely hot weather glamorous, then hells yeah." Pen said, earning a smile off of Derek.
"So what are you doing wanting to work for a computer company in Chicago?"
"Cal Tech insists this is the place for me to get my start. Not too sure why, but I'll take it."
Derek handed her back the original copy of all her paperwork and when she started to leave Derek said:
"Hey Blondie, wait up. Did you really not think that I was serious about taking you out to dinner if you didn't mention this to my boss?"
Pen blushed and turned around. "Okay. But only if you really want to take me to dinner."
"Believe me. I do." he said.
Trying not to blush again, Pen said:
"What time's your shift over?"
"Seven."
"Well I'll see you at seven."
They could only smile at one another.
PRESENT TIME
She had already triple checked the files of the other girls in the school and still there was nothing, She didn't want to think that her own daughter was a murderer. There was no way that could ever be true. She wanted to believe someone along the line had made a mistake but the harder she looked the more things related back to Alice.
JJ walked over to where Pen was sitting and said:
"Rossi spoke to the police about the evidence and was able to convince them to let her go."
Pen sighed in relief. "Where is she?"
"She's with Hotch and Rossi. They have to find a way to prove her innocent."
Pen could only nod. It seemed like there was a light at the end of the tunnel, just every time she got close to it, it became further away.
"You could have told me about her Pen." JJ said gently.
"I know I could have. I just always felt so ashamed about giving her up. My parents had died and my brothers didn't want anything to do with me so I had no choice but adoption. I didn't want to bother Derek with having a baby, because I already knew how he felt about kids."
"Derek never knew about her..?"
"No. I never told him. His sisters saw me in Chicago one day and they counted up the days and knew it was Derek's. By the time he found out I had already given her up."
JJ's phone vibrated then, and she said:
"It's Hotch. He's calling a meeting."
They stood up and walked back to the office where the rest of the team was waiting.
"I just got off the phone with Strauss." Hotch said. "She's demanding that we stop working this case."
Ah yes, I am leaving this on a cliffhanger. Fret not, I will update soon. Please Review!
