Armed And Dangerous-Ch 10
Just as Derek was reaching the couch he heard pounding on the door and the voice of one of Penelopes guards saying, "Morgan, Morgan is everything alright"? when they got no answer the pushed through the door and made their way inside. What they saw broke their hearts, they saw Penelope screaming and and flouncing all over the couch.
Derek leaned down and said, "sweetness it's alright, you're safe, you're safe", she tossed and moaned on the couch as she struggled to get out of the hands of the man that was attacking her again. Derek said, "baby girl open you eyes, wake up, wake up", she slowly started waking up and when she saw Derek she wrapped her arms around him and whispered, "it was so real, it was so real".
Derek ran his hand up and down her back and said, "it's alright baby, you're here with me and safe", when she pulled back he wiped her tears away and said, "you were having some nightmare there". She nodded her head and swallowed before hoarsely saying, "it was him, he was trying, he was trying", Derek cupped her face in his hands and said, "he can't hurt you here".
One of the guards said, "is she alright"?, he nodded his head and said, "it was a nightmare, a bad nightmare but she's okay now", the nodded their heads and she took a breath and whispered, "thank you". They smiled at her and said, "if you need anything we'll be right outside", she weakly smiled and nodded her head as she watched the walk out the front door.
As Derek was holding her in his arms his cell started ringing, he pulled it off his belt and said, "it's JJ", he said, "yeah Jayje", she said, "how's Penelope"?, he said, "not so good, she just had a bad nightmare". She said, "ask her if it's okay if me and Henry come over and keep her company", he looked down at Penelope and said, "JJ wants to know if it's alright for her and Henry to come over for a little while"?, she happily nodded her head yes and whispered, "more than alright".
JJ said, "we'll be over in a few minutes, we are in the car now", he said, "see ya soon Jayje", she said, "tell Garcie we love her", he smiled and said, "don't worry I will". After the call ended he put the cell back on his belt and said, "Jayje told me to tell you that they loved you", Penelope weakly smiled and Derek said, "are you ready for some soup"?, she nodded her head yes.
He said, "do you want to eat it here or do you want to come to the dining room"?, she put her hand in his and motioned toward the dining room, he helped her up off the couch and intertwined their fingers as they headed through his house. The man across the street couldn't help but smile as he watched Penelopes security guards bust through the door.
He tightened up his grip on the binoculars and said, "well well I wonder what's going on over there"?, he looked down at the dead body and said, "I bet she's having bad dreams". He turned his head to the side and said, "I'm going to have to get rid of you and your husband soon, I can't have anything pulling attention to me or to this house".
Derek and Penelope were sitting at the table eating their soup when they heard JJ and Henry walking into the house, JJ said, "what happened to your door"?, Derek said,
"it's nothing, don't worry I'll have that fixed in no time". Henry ran over to Penelope and said, "aunt P, aunt P"?, she picked the little boy up and put him in her lap and smiled down at him.
He saw the bruises around her neck and he gently touched it and said, "awwwwww boo boo", JJ said, "yeah aunt P has a boo boo on her neck so she won't be talking to us much". He leaned forward and gently kissed the bruise on her neck and said, "dat will make da boo boo feel allllll bettew", she wiped away a tear and hoarsely said,
"it already does".
Derek said, "there is some of mommas soup on the stove", JJ said, "it smells delicious", Penelope smiled as she watched JJ get two bowls down and put some soup in both. When Derek finished his soup he said, "since you have JJ and Henry here with you I'm going to get the door fixed", she nodded her head and whispered, "be careful hotstuff".
He kissed her lips gently and said, "always gorgeous, always" as she watched him walk out of the kitchen she felt happy and safe knowing that her family was there and were going to do everything they could to keep her safe.
