Framed-Ch 10
The next few days were rough with Dereks temperature going higher and higher, it took several attempts at antibiotics before he finally started doing better. Penelope rarely left his side, she wanted to make sure that Savannah stayed away, she had done enough damage to her hotstuff and she wasn't going to allow her to hurt him anymore.
It was the day they all dreaded, it was the day that he was released to go back to jail but this time Hotch had arranged for him to be put where he would be safe. Hotch had also been able to get a court date, Derek would be heading to court tomorrow morning, now the team knew that they had less than 24 hours to find Savannah and get the truth from her before Derek had his day in court.
Penelope and the rest of the team were saying their goodbyes, Hotch said, "I'll be by to talk to you about your case later today", Derek nodded his head and said, "see ya later". Penelope kissed his lips gently and said, "I love you", he said, "and I love you", he put his hand on her stomach and said, "I love you both and don't worry soon I'll be back with you".
Penelope wiped away the tears that were streaming down her cheeks and said, "we'll be waiting", he winked at her and said, "I'll see you tomorrow at court, right"?, she said, "wild horses couldn't keep me away handsome". He pulled her down into one final kiss before officer McMurray wheeled him out into the hall and down toward the elevator.
Fran hugged Penelope and said, "come on honey let's get you home so that you can rest", Penelope said, "I've got to start looking for Savannah again, we're running out of time". Reid grinned and said, "don't worry we'll find her and then she'll spend the rest of her life in jail for what she's done to Morgan", Penelope sighed and said, "alright, let's find her and put her butt behind bars where it belongs", everybody nodded their heads in agreement as they grabbed their things and headed out of the room.
Savannah was parked across the road from the hospital, she wanted to watch them put Derek into the back of the police car and pull away, she slid her hand down to her stomach and said, "sorry little one but it's going to be just the two of us from now on". She sighed happily as she pulled away from the curb, meanwhile in the elevator Penelopes cell started beeping.
She pulled it out and Hotch said, "is something wrong Garcia"?, she smiled and said, "no bossman, something's right, I wrote a program so that if Savannah showed her face around any survelience cameras we would be able to see her". JJ said, "and she's out somewhere"?, Penelope said, "according to this she was outside the hospital and just turned right onto a side road".
Dave said, "we need to get kitten to her babies, we've got to find her and find her fast if we're going to stand a chance of clearing Derek and getting him home with us where he belongs". Meanwhile Derek was in the back of the police car thinking, wondering, wondering why Savannah would try to destroy his life this way.
He thought he knew her but it appears like he never really knew her at all because the woman he knew and cared for wasn't this way, she was kind, loving and cared about people. He blew out a deep breath and thought of Shannon, his heart broke for her, to think what Savannah had done to her, he shook his head and said to himself, "they will find you and get the truth out of you and then you'll be going to jail and I'll be going home, home to my family, home to my baby girl and our baby".
