A Lovers Vengeance-Ch 8
Derek looked at his attorney as she said, "my name is Sally North and I'll be representing you in your case", Derek said, "ok, what happens now"?, she said, "now I need for you to tell me everything that happened over the past few hours". Hotch and Reid looked at each other and then excused themselves from the room to allow the two some time alone to discuss his side of the story.
Reid looked at Hotch and said, "Garcia isn't doing good, she isn't really responding, what she needs is in that room right there, she needs Derek", Hotch said, "I know but I doubt that he'll be released on bail but I'm gonna do everything I can to help". Reid said, "what can we do"?, Hotch said, "right now we need to find some proof that Derek didn't do this before it's to late".
Sally listened as Derek finished telling that the last thing he remembered was waking up with Kevin laying dead on the floor beside him", she said, "so you have no idea what happened after you blacked out"?, he shook his head and said, "no idea". She said, "you said that you heard voices, did you recognize them at all"?, he said, "no, everything was so fuzzy and before I knew it I was fading and fading fast".
She looked down at her watch and said, "it's almost time for your bail hearing", he said, "do you think that I'll be able to get bail"?, she said, "I'm gonna do everything I can but I don't think that in this case they will grant bail". He ran his hand over his head and said, "I've got to get out, she needs me, Penelope needs me so much right now".
Sally said, "after your bail hearing I'm going to go see Penelope and get her side of the story about what happened", he said, "that's not a good idea, she isn't responding to anything or anybody right now". Sally said, "that's normal, she's still in shock and if she does respond to me I promise that I will be very gentle with her", he nodded his head in agreement and watched as she gathered her things and stood up to head to the door.
Reid dialed JJ's number and after a few rings he heard, "any news Spence"?, he said, "none yet, it's almost time for his arraignment", JJ looked through the window and saw that Penelope was awake and starring at the wall. She said, "Penelope needs her rock, her strength, she needs Derek", Reid said, "he needs her to, he needs to hear her voice, to see her".
JJ said, "I have a plan and if it works can you slip a phone in to Derek"?, he said, "yeah that won't be a problem but what's your plan"?, she smiled and said, "I'll hopefully be calling you back in a few minutes" and then the call ended. Reid looked at Hotch and said, "JJs got a plan, she said that she would call back in a few minutes".
JJ opened the door and walked into the room, she slowly made her way toward the bed, she took a deep breath and said, "Garcie, Garcie can you hear me"?, she got no response. She sat down in front of Penelope and said, "Garcie I know that you're hurting, I know that you're devastated and I know that you need Derek", when she heard his name she turned to face JJ and she weakly whispered, "Derek".
She said, "that's right sweetie Derek", Penelope reached up and wiped the tears away as JJ said, "he needs you as much as you need him", she said, "wh wh where's Derek"?, she said, "he's in jail, remember"?, she said, "I I I need him Jayje". She said, "I know honey but right now he can't be here with you but how about if you can hear his voice"?, she nodded her head yes.
Reid had walked back into the room with Derek, he said, "please give me some good news pretty boy", he said, "I might", Derek grinned and said, "I hope so because right now I could use it". JJ pulled her cell from her side and said, "I'm gonna call Derek so that you can talk to him", she nodded her head yes as she watched her friend punching numbers into her phone.
Derek and Reid were talking when his cell started ringing, he said, "yeah Jayje", she said, "is Morgan close"?, Reid said, "yeah, he's right here", she said, "hand him the phone". Reid looked at Derek and said, "somebody wants to talk to you", he took the phone and cautiously said, "Hello", at first he heard nothing and then he heard a low, "Derek".
