Switched-Ch 9

After dinner Derek said, "why don't you go and relax and I'll join you in a few minutes"?, she smiled up at him and said, "okay", he smiled as he watched her head into the living room. She had only been in there for a few minutes when her cell started beeping, she picked it up and saw that it was a message from on of her guards.

As she read the message she started panicing because Penelope was lose, she said, "think of something, think of something" and suddenly she jumped up and said, "Derek can I ask you something"?, he closed the dishwasher door and headed toward her and said, "sure baby, you can ask me anything", she patted the seat beside her.

He walked over and sat down and she said, "would you get mad if I asked if we could go out of town"?, he said, "go out of town but why"?, she said, "there are to many bad memories here in town for me right now". He said, "baby you need to allow yourself some time to heal", she said, "my head tells me that you are right but my heart isn't getting that message".

Derek said, "how about if we head up to Rossi's cabin"?, she said, "that sounds good, maybe the rest of the team can come with us"?, he said, "let me make some calls and see if I can arrange something". She sat there with her heart racing, her plan was falling apart, Penelope was lose and heading back home,
true it would take her several hours to get here but she could stop at a phone anywhere and call and then all of my hard work would all be for what, it woul be for nothing".

Penelope looked at Meg and said, "how far is it to the phone"?, Meg said, "sadly it's still quite a while", Penelope said, "are you kidding"?, she shook her head and said, "sadly no". Penelope said, "you wouldn't happen to have a cell phone would you"?, she said, "sorry Penelope but I don't", she glanced over and said, "are you sure you're alright"?, she said, "let's just say I had a rough day".

Meg said, "what happened, that is if you don't mind me asking"?, Penelope spent the next several minutes filling her new friend in on what had happened to her over the past day. Meg said, "and this woman that looks like you do you have any idea who she is"?, Penelope shook her head and said, "I have no idea who she is but I know that she's after my hotstuff".

Meg laughed and said, "he sounds like quite a man", she sighed and said, "he is Meg, he certainly is", Meg put her hand on Penelopes and said, "don't worry Penelope I'll get you to that phone, it might take a little while but I promise you that I will get you there". Penelope smiled and said, "thank you so much Meg, I don't know where I would be right now if it weren't for you stopping to get me", the two women sighed as they continued in search of that phone.

Derek walked into the room and said, "good news, everybody can go so we are going to head out in a few minutes", she sighed happily and said, "we have an amazing family don't we"?, he smiled and said, "that we do baby girl, that we do". He said, "I'll run upstairs and pack a couple of bags and then I'll run you back to your place to grab some things", she nodded her head as she watched him heading up the stairs.

She paced back and forth in front of the fireplace as she sent message after message to her goons hoping that they had caught Penelope but so far they hadn't seen any sign of her. She threw her head back and said, "I can't believe this, I can't believe that she got away and that at any time she could call or just walk in here and ruin all of my plans".

Penelope smiled when they pulled into a gas station and Meg said, "there is a pay phone in here", the two women got out of the car and headed inside so that she could make her call. Derek looked at Penelope and said, "sweetness we don't get cell service up here soooooooooo until we head back none of us will be getting any calls", she nodded her head and said, "I forgot that handsome, thanks for reminding me" and as she turned her cell off she sighed deeply knowing that she was safe, well for now.

Penelope dialed Dereks number and after a few rings it went to voicemail and hearing his voice brought a smile to her face, so she hung up the phone and looked at Meg. Meg said, "why didn't you leave him a message"?, she said, "everything that I tell him needs to be said face to face", Meg nodded her head and said,
"where do you live"?, she said, "Quantico Virginia".

Penelope nervously tried all the team and all of their calls went to voicemail, she said, "I wonder where they are"?, Meg said, "come on girlllllllll what are we waiting on we've got to save your hotstuff", both girls grinned as they headed back toward Megs car.
