Soon after Reid's and Garcia's heart to heart, Hotch informs them of a new case.
"In the past week three women have been found dead in their homes in Florida." Penelope says swaying the remote and grimacing at the pictures being projected.
"Talk about the happiest place in the world." Rossi grumbles.
"I know it gets worse, their was malware found on their electronics. Phones, tablets, printers, computers, etc, if it got wifi it was on their.
"Meaning?" Reid asks not sure where she was going, computers really aren't his thing.
"Meaning that they were being stalked before they were killed."
Hotch's frowns deepens before he speaks, "Wheels up in thirty and Garcia, I need you with us on this one." Finally looking up from his files he notices her conflicted look. "Is that a problem?"
"No Sir, well yes, it usually wouldn't be but Gamila's nanny is sick, I'd ask Kate but she's out of town and I don't have anyone to watch her over night." The room becomes silent everyone thinking the same thought but no one voices it, after Reid coughs for the second time, JJ decides to speak up.
"You could ask him." At that she shakes her head violently not bothering to asks her who the him in question is. After debating with herself she lets out a harsh fine and leaves the room to call Morgan.
Derek would be lying if he said he wasn't shocked by Garcia calling him. Things between them were civil at best for their daughter but he had never had her over night before.
"Sissy?" Hank asks from the back seat asking about Mila. "Yeah we're going to get your sister."
The BAU looks just the same as the day he left it all behind exiting the elevator he sees, Reid entertaining Gamila with a card trick while Penelope shifts through a bag. Turning around suddenly she hands the bag to Morgan.
"Everything she should need is in here and I've left a detailed list of her nighttime routine." she says moving her hands around wildly. Spencer hands her the baby and she squeezes her tight before handing her to Morgan glaring at him slightly.
"Relax Penelope I know how to handle a child." he says moving his head towards Hank in a motion she takes to mean 'I've got this.'
He learns new things about his daughter on the first night. Like how she's just as enticing as Penelope, even at the age of one, she doesn't like bath time or peas and she doesn't mind sharing her toys with her half-brother.
Laying her in the crib next to Hank he notices when his son expands his right hand and wraps it around Gamila's left one holding pinkies. He smiles at the sight and for the first time realizes that Gamila's face looks like a browner version of Penelope. Sitting down in the rocking chair he watches his kids sleep. He takes a picture of them sleeping peaceful which leads him to looking at old pictures; Pictures with the whole team, past and present, Silly pictures with Reid, pictures with Emily, Rossi, JJ, Alex and Kate. Hotch is never smiling in the pictures , but Derek can see the emotions in his eyes, most of all he sees pictures of Penelope and he realizes one of two things. How much he misses her and the team. And then he wonders where everything went wrong.
