The case is sadly still going on. There was a lead after yet another person was killed. I wanted to talk to Derek badly. I just hoped he could forgive me.
I asked Hotch if I could leave early. He agreed but asked if I was okay. I told him I was attending Good Friday service. He said that was great. Then Hotch asked me to say a prayer for them to catch the Unsub so he could get home to Jack.
The service was beautiful. I hadn't ever attended a Good Friday service. I found myself once again learning new things. I felt at peace as I left the service.
I was almost home when Hotch called me. Hotch asked if I could return to the office. I quickly hurried to my office. The information found on the Unsub was really good. I hoped it would help them catch him quickly.
"Hello cape crusaders." I said as JJ said she was putting me on speaker phone.
"We need you to look for the Mother. He seems she's been in contact with the Unsub." Reid explained.
"Sure thing Boy Wonder." I said as I got back to work.
"Penelope." Derek said as I picked up the phone.
"Yes Derek." I responded nervously.
"Turns out it's his Step-Mom." Derek said as I typed in the new information.
"Okay I found her. I'll send the info your way." I said.
"Thank you Pen." Derek said sadly.
"You're very welcome." I responded.
"Baby Girl can we talk when I get home?" Derek asked.
"I would love to." I answered as I started to cry in relief.
"Don't cry it'll be okay." Derek said his voice was shaky.
I was shocked. Derek was going to give me a chance. I was able to smile for the first time in weeks. When I got home I slept so well.
The next morning I took Henry and Jack to my church's Easter egg hunt. They had a great time. Everyone commented on my well behaved nephews. Jessica joined us for lunch afterwards. I kept hoping to hear good news from the team.
