Sold-Ch 11
Derek stood up and said, "Penelope, did you say Penelope"?, Desi said, "I did, I was coming out of the market down the street from mommas old house and then she went by in a car that looked like it was being driven by Carl Buford".
She said, "I'm following them now", Derek said, "be careful Des you don't know what he's capable of", she said, "don't worry big brother I'll be careful". Derek said, "I'll tell Hotch and then be on my way", she said, "be careful, love ya".
Derek said, "you're the one that needs to be careful, love you to baby sister", after the call ended Derek ran up the stairs and into Hotchs office. Hotch looked up and said, "what's wrong"?, he said, "Desi called and said that she saw Penelope and Carl in Chicago, she's following them now".
He jumped up and said, "let's go", as they started down the stairs he said, "grab your go bags and let's go, I'll fill everybody in on the way to the jet". Everybody nodded their heads yes as they jumped up and headed toward the elevator.
Desi managed to keep far enough behind Carl so that he didn't suspect he was being followed, she watched as they pulled into a building and disappeared. She then parked her car and got out and walked up to the building and saw them heading into a house.
Her mouth flew open when she saw Carl carrying a car seat with a little girl in it that looked to be about 2 1/2 years old and then Penelope turned to the side and she could see a baby bump. She said, "ohhhh Penelope, you poor thing, what has he done to you" as she made her way inside the building.
She stopped at the door and sent Derek a message with the address in it and a picture of the building they disappeared into before putting her cell back into her pocket and walking on. Carl helped Penelope to the bed and said, "I'm going to go and fix you something to eat, don't get up".
She rubbed her stomach and said, "don't worry I won't", before he walked out of the room she said, "can you take this necklace off"?, he said, "not just yet, maybe later" and then disappeared out into the hall. She looked at her daughter and said, "come here princess, come to mommy".
She got Angel out and laid the little girl beside her and said, "you look so much like your daddy and he's going to be so happy about you". Angel looked up at her mommy and smiled and that made Penelope smile knowing that a part of Derek was always with her.
Desi quietly peeped through the window and saw Carl in the kitchen fixing something to eat, she slipped around the side of the house and tried to look into several windows but they were covered up. She made it to one window that was barred up but she managed to see Penelope laying on the bed with a little girl sleeping beside her.
She said, "I better get out of here and wait on Derek and the team", she turned around and headed back outside to the car to wait on the others. Meanwhile inside Carl took some soup and a sandwich with some juice in to Penelope and said, "here, you need to eat this', she nodded her head and said, "okay" as she started eating her soup.
Carl said, "I'm going to put her in her crib", Penelope said, "okay but try not to wake her", he nodded his head as he picked her up and carried her over and laid her down in her big girl crib. He then turned around and said, "are you feeling okay now"?, she said, "right now I am".
He said, "I have a few things I need to do but I've still got this remote and I'll be right out here", she said, "I'm not going anywhere". He then turned around and headed out of the room leaving her behind to finish her food, she sighed and rubbed her stomach and said, "I love you little one no matter who your daddy is" she then took a sip of her juice and then continued eating her food.
