A Lovers Vengeance-Ch 7

Penelope said, "K K Kevins d d dead"?, JJ nodded her head and said, "yes and according to all of the evidence Derek is the one that killed him", she said, "n n no that isn't possible, he wouldn't do that, he wouldn't kill anybody". Emily said, "PG", she said, "nooooooooo Em, he wouldn't do that", she then pulled her legs up to her chest and started rocking back and forth.

JJ said, "Garcie you need to stay calm okay"?, she got no response, Emily tried talking to her and she got no response, JJ said, "come on Penelope, can you hear me sweetie"?, the only thing she would do is rock back and forth. Emily looked at the doctor and said, "what's happening"?, the doctor said, "she's withdrawing herself from everything and going somewhere she feels safe, it's very common in rape survivors".

JJ opened her mouth to say something and her cell started ringing, she saw that it was Reid and said, "it's Spence" and walked out into the hall and answered it by saying, "please tell me that you are having more luck that we are". Reid said, "no such luck, Derek wanted to know how Penelope was doing", she blew out a deep breath and said, "not good honey, not good at all".

Reid said, "what's she doing"?, JJ said, "the doctor said that she had withdrawn herself from everything and gone somewhere that she feels safe", Reid said, "that's very common in rape survivors or someone that has been through trauma". JJ said, "how's Morgan"?, Reid said, "not good, he still can't remember anything other than what he remembered back at Kevins".

JJ said, "what are we going to do"?, Reid said, "we're going to have to prove that Derek didn't kill Kevin and that somebody else did", JJ said, "do we have anyway of proving that"?, he said, "no but we're going to have to do it and do it fast before we lose not 1 but 2 friends". She nodded her head adn said, "any idea on what's going to happen to Morgan now"?, he said, "Hotch is trying to get a bail hearing for tonight but I don't know if they will let him out on bail or not Jayje".

She said, "they have to, he didn't do it Spence, he didn't kill Kevin", Reid said, "I know that and you know that but the courts don't", JJ said, "well then we are going to have to prove that Derek didn't do it and fast before we permanently lose Garcie". Reid said, "I'll call you as soon as I find something out", she said, "I love you Spence", he grinned and said, "love you to" and then the call ended and she headed back to Penelope and he headed back to Derek.

When Reid walked into the room Derek said, "how is she"?, Reid said, "not good, she's not responding to anybody now, she has gone to a safe place", Derek looked at Him and said, "I've got to get out of here and get to her". Hotch said, "I'm doing everything I can but I honestly don't know if you will be able to get out on bail".

Derek said, "why not, I'm an FBI agent for crying outloud", Reid said, "that's why they are going to be harder on you, they will use you as an example", he threw his hands up and said, "great, just great". Hotch said, "I've got you a great lawyer and she'll do everything she can to get you out of here". He ran his hand over his head and said, "thanks Hotch, I really appreciate everytihng that you are doing".

Derek looked down at his watch and said, "where is this lawyer, what's taking her so long"?, Reid said, "she's in California, she just ended a case", he said, "so when is she going to be here"?, the door opened and she stepped inside and said, "sorry I was late". Derek said, "thanks for coming", she sat down at the table and opened her case and said, "alright let's get this started".

Emily looked at Penelope and said, "PG it's me it's Em, can you talk to me sweetie"?, they still got no response and they sat down on the bed with her and reached out to touch her and the second she felt them touch her she started screaming. The doctor and nurses ran into the room and JJ said, "what do we do now"?, the doctor said, "right now what we need to do is give her some time, she's been through so much over the past few hours, she needs time to adjust and when she feels safe then she'll start responding".

JJ nodded her head and said, "I hope so because Derek is going to need all of us and right now like this she can't help herself or him", the doctor said, "I see this in a lot of trauma patients especially rape survivors". Emily said, "how long will this last"?, she said, "each case is different, she could start responding in a few minutes or it could take months or".

JJ said, "or she may never respond again"?, the doctor nodded her head and said, "sadly yes", all the women could do for right now was sit and watch as their friend tried to cope with everything that she had been through over the past 24 hours.
