Survival-Ch 10
Derek sat behind her on the couch and he couldn't help but smile, she was alive, she was here with them and most of all she was safe, he picked up a file and started reading it hoping to be able to help his baby girl but he couldn't focus on anything but the fact that the woman he thought had died over 7 months ago was alive and well and sitting in front of him.
Reid walked into the room and sat down beside Derek and said, "you can't focus can you"?, he looked at Reid and said, "how did you know that"?, he took a sip of his coffee and said, "I'm a profiler rememberrrrrr"?, Derek shook his head and said, "that you are pretty boy, that you are". Penelope looked up at her screen and said, "I think I've found him".
They got up and walked over to her and Derek said, "what have you found momma"?, she grinned and said, "I tracked his IP address and see this area right here"?, she pointed to a place on the map and said, "he is somewhere here in this area but right now I can't get any farther because it's like he knew somebody was trying to trace him and he erased the address".
Derek kissed the top of her head and said, "you're amazing sweetness", she sighed happily as she started looking for surveilence camera footage in that area hoping to catch a glimpse of Zach. Meanwhile a very confused Zach watches from his screen as he is notified that somebody is trying to hack into his location.
He rubs his chin and says, "ohhhhhh you're good, you're very good", he then makes a few strokes across the keyboard and says, "but you're not good enough to find me". After he thwarts the attempt he sits back in his seat and laughs, he then lets his fingers fly across the keyboard as he tries to find out exactly who is trying to back hack him.
Penelope is working on footage when she is notified through a program that she initiated that somebody is trying to track her, she smiles and Derek says, "what put that beautiful smile on your face"?, she looked up at him and Reid and said, "he's trying to find me and find out who is back hacking him".
Reid said, "will he be able to find you"?, she grinned at the younger agent and said, "no my heap of gray matter he won't, I have my system wrapped around so many places that he will never be able to find me, he will find several different alias but he won't be able to track mine down. Derek said,
"good because we just got you back and I don't want to take the chance on losing you again".
Reid pulled out his cell and called Hotch to let him know what was happening, Penelope sighed and said, "it feels strange to be back here, good but strange". Derek said, "from where I'm standing it is very good to have you back goddess", he kisses the top of his head and says, "very very good indeed sweetness".
Reid walked back over and says, "Hotch said that we can head back to your place Morgan and set up that way Penelope can rest and we can still continue to search for Zach and his associates", they nodded their heads in agreement. Penelope stood up and said, "sounds good to me", Derek grabbed her things and held out his arm and said, "allow me sweetness", she grinned and said, "ohhhhhh I just love a man that takes charge".
Derek grinned and said, "ohhhhhh baby girl you haven't seen anything yet", she sighed and said, "have I told you how good it is to be home", he kissed her temple and said, "it's good to have you home sweetness". Reid opened the door and smiled as he stepped out into the hall, when they got out to the elevator they saw the smiling faces of the rest of the team.
Hotch said, "we will head over to Morgans in a few hours", he looked at Penelope and said, "until we get there Garcia I need you to keep up your checks and looking at the survelience footage". She nodded her head and said, "on it bossman", he walked over and hugged her tight and said, "it is so good to have you home".
She smiled and said, "and it's good to be back with my family of super crime fighters", the rest of the team watched as the trio then stepped onto the elevator and they smiled as the doors closed. Derek wrapped his arms around her and said, "ohhhhhhh sweetness you don't know how good you feel to me right now".
She laughed as she wrapped her arms around him and said, "I have a good idea about that handsome", Reid couldn't help but smile knowing that the once broken family is now whole again.
