A/N: we thank you for the continuing support for our story; We do not own Criminal Minds or The Plum characters; we are just borrowing for some fun…. Well Derek and Ranger the most ;)

RPOV

I sat in my office chuckling as I watched Derek kick Santos' ass on the mats. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it especially since Santos had strolled in cocky. I have told him over and over again that sooner or later he will cross the wrong person. I guess Derek would be the one that teaches him a lesson, maybe.

An hour later, Derek appeared at my office, he looks like he isn't hurt at all, and I am impressed. We sit down and go through the information we have on Terri Gilman, I notice that there is some credit card transactions.

"Derek, can you have Penelope go through the credit card transactions for us?"

"No problem, Bro." He grabs his phone and calls her to get her started.

As we wait for the information to come back, we step out into the control room to see Les making eyes at Emily. Without warning she turns and kicks him, knocking him flat on his back. She glares at him.

"I told you before, Pretty Boy, that I am not interested in anything you may have to offer. I thought my warning was clear. Now I will make it even clearer, I... am... not... interested."

Everyone in the room stood in shock for a few long minutes before the whole room erupted in laughter. I have to admit, I am impressed by her. I watch as Santos carefully gets up, and walks away. As we step back into my office, Derek is still chuckling. Before we get a chance to sit down, his phone rings. I hear him say that we will meet at the conference room in ten. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice the monitor from four is up, which makes me think about when Cal and Hotch left. Derek sees the video and starts laughing out loud.

"Great minds, Bro. Great minds."

"What do you mean?" I inquire

"I have a picture I took from my phone." I chuckle at his words.

"The video is better." Derek smirks.

"We have to show it in the conference room so the guys can see that Hotch can dress down; Pen found the information we need."

"I have Hector setting it up so it is playing in the conference room as we all walk in."

"I love the way you think Ranger."

We head to the conference room. As we get closer we can hear the laughter and snickering coming from the conference.

"Hey Hotch, that is a great look for you." I hear I believe is Rossi ribbing at Hotch.

"Yea, yea, yea." Hotch mutters.

"I got the picture for my Valentine's Day card. Thanks Hotch-rocket" Penelope laughs.

When we step into the room, I notice that Hotch is dressed normally again, but it appears that he is blushing.

"Let's get started." I bark.

"What did you find with the credit cards, Baby Girl?"

"Terri Gilman has been in Italy for the last four months. Records show that she has been there with the Grizzoli family. I also have on video her arriving at the airport in Venice. I know that Gilman is her married name."

"So that takes her off the list." I raise my eyebrow at her.

"Yes, sir." I remain silent for a minute thinking. I grab the phone and hit an extension.

"Large conference room, now." I order.

Within minutes Vince walks in.

"This is Vincent Pertelli, you call him Vince. Vince, this is Derek Morgan, J.J, Aaron Hotchner, Emily Prentiss, Spencer Reid, Penelope Garcia, and David Rossi. Vince, I need you to contact your family and see what you can find out about Tiffani Porelli."

"Wait, you're from the Pertelli family?" I nod at Pen's question.

"Yes, sir." Vince left without another word.

"Is there any other information we have yet?"

Everyone shakes their heads.

"Very well, I want all of you to get back out on the streets and make our presence known. I want them to know that Rangeman is not going to stop until we find them. In fact, Tank call Woody and Ram as well, have them go out too. This is taking way too long; I want them taken down and fast."

I sit back in my chair, and let out a deep sigh. I notice that Steph is standing by the window staring out.

"What's wrong, Babe?"

"I need space, Ranger. I need to get out of here. I am feeling like the walls are closing in on me. I know I said I am okay with staying here, and I am, it's just I need to get out at least for a little while."

"Well, how about we go to Pino's tomorrow for lunch with Derek and Penelope?"

"That sounds good to me."

"Let's go talk with them about it." I take her hand and lead her to my office, where we just happen to find Derek and Penelope in a heated lip lock.

"Are we interrupting?" I watch as Penelope blushes.

"Yes you are, Bro. I was just showing Baby Girl my new ink." I raise my eyebrow in question.

"So she was checking it out with her lips?" Derek smirks.

"Alright, boys, that is enough." Steph interjects.

"A strong, opinionated woman, I like her. Hey Manoso, I may have to steal her out from under you." Derek laughs

"Try it, Morgan, but it's not gonna work." Steph rolls her eyes. She looks at Penelope.

"I think us girls should leave the two egomaniacs to figure that out themselves." I look at her hard.

"Egomaniac?"

"You heard me, no need to repeat it."

Derek and Penelope laugh at the shock on my face. I can't believe she cut me off at the knees like that.

"Now, the reason we were looking for you two, is would you like to go to lunch with us? There is a local place that has the best subs, pizza and beer."

"I would love to, what do you think, Handsome?"

"Hell yeah, Baby Girl."

"It's getting late, so I am going to head up to seven, I have some phone calls I need to return."

"Okay, Babe. I will be up soon." Steph gives Derek and Penelope a finger wave, then leaves.

Penelope leaves shortly after. Derek and I wait to hear from the teams, but so far nothing. I am getting restless with nothing being found.

"Does Penelope like to shop?"

"She would love to shop, what do you have in mind, Ranger?"

"Steph is starting to get cabin fever, and when that happens she has the tendency to sneak out and endanger herself. I thought it would be a good idea to let her go shopping; and Pen would get to know the area. I know that Pen isn't the type to hurt anyone so I plan to have Zero and Zip follow them. They will have the trackers and panic buttons, so they won't need to be too close, so they won't feel crowded or smothered. The whole point of this is so they can get some fresh air, but I just want to make sure they have back-up if needed."

"Sounds like a good plan, Ranger. Let's talk them at lunch tomorrow about it." I nod in silent agreement.

The teams come back with no new information, which irritates me. When I finally make it to seven, Steph is already asleep. I go through my nightly routine, then crawl into bed and go to sleep.

When my alarm goes off, I move to the closet, but I am shocked to see Steph up when I come out.

"What's wrong, Babe?"

"Nothing, I just couldn't sleep."

"We are having lunch at 1100." She nods before she heads to the closet.

SPOV

I quickly go through my morning and make my way to my cubicle and start working. As the morning wears on I begin to feel like we are missing something, something that can break this case wide open. My Spidey Senses started humming.

Finally 1100 arrives, and I meet Ranger, Derek, and Pen at Ranger's office. We make our way to the Cayanne, the pit of my stomach starts churning. I stop in my tracks, when I look around I see nothing, but I have the feeling like I am being watched. Ranger notices how I had stiffened.

"What's wrong, Babe?" I shake my head.

"Spidey Senses?" Derek and Pen look at Ranger like he has grown a second head.

"Spidey what?" they say in unison.

"Answer me damn-it!"

"I know it's not possible, but I feel like I am being watched."

"You're safe Babe. I promise you."

We make our way to Pinos, it's not crowded so when we get to a booth a waitress quickly takes our order. Ranger clears his throat.

"Babe, I was thinking about what you said, and I think it would be a good idea for you to get out for a little while, maybe take Pen shopping."

"Hell yea! What do you think Pen?"

"I would love to." Our food arrives, and we make plans and eat.

As we finalize our plans for the following day, I am excited for what will come, we have already started to bond a new friendship, and being able to have some girl time will only make it stronger. I know once this is over, Rangeman and the BAU will have a partnership that makes us family.

We finish eating and head back to Rangeman. I have a lot of work to do this afternoon to get ready for shopping tomorrow evening….
