Alone In Paradise-Ch 14
Derek and Fran watched as the nurses walked out of the room pushing the gurney holding the love of his life, his mom reached out and gently squeezed his hand and said, "come on honey, we need to let the team know what's going on while they get Penelope settled in her room", he wiped his eyes and nodded his head in agreement as they headed toward the waiting room.
JJ and Emily were pacing back and forth across the room waiting on news on their friend, Reid, Hotch and Dave sat and watched as nurse after nurse walked by without saying a word on her condition. Dave stood up when he saw his wife and step son walking toward them, he said, "how's Penelope"?, they walked over to join the team and Derek filled them in on everything the doctor had told them.
Emily said, "she's going to be fine Derek, she's the toughest woman I have ever met", he smiled at her and said, "you got that right Em, you definitely got that right". JJ said, "how long before we can see Garcie"?, Derek sighed and said, "it shouldn't be long now, they have already taken her over to her room".
Derek said, "everything was perfect, we were together and we had finally admitted our love for each other and now she is in there fighting for her life, I can't lose her, I just can't". Dave pulled Derek into his arms and hugged him and said, "kitten is going to be fine, just don't ever give up on her Derek".
He rubbed his hand over his head and said, "I'll never give up on her, not ever", Hotch put his hand on Dereks shouder and said, "we need to talk", he looked up at Hotch and said, "do we know what happened"?, Hotch nodded his head and said, "yes we do". Derek said, "what happened, what caused the jet to crash"?, Hotch looked down at the floor and said, "Kevin and Savannah caused it to crash".
Derek said, "WHATTTTT"?, Hotch said, "Savannah manipulated Kevin and he handled the mechanical and computer things while she planned on finding you herself but everything changed when she found out that Penelope was on the plane with you". He balled his hand into a fist and said, "so you're telling me that my baby girl almost died because of that son of a bitch and my ex"?, Hotch nodded his head and said, "unfortunately so".
Dave said, "don't worry about them now Morgan, right now you need to concentrate on Penelope", Derek shook his head and said, "she is the only thing that I can think about, I love her Dave, I love her so much and it's killing me to know that she is upstairs fighting for her life all because of Kevin and Savannah".
Savannah and Sam were sitting in her apartment waiting on word from Kevin when there was a knock at her door, Sam stood up and walked through the room and hid behind the counter as Savannah walked over to open the door. When she opened the door she saw several police officers standing there, one then stepped forward and said, "is your name Savannah"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes it is, can I help you officers"?, he said, "yes mam, we have a warrant for your arrest". . Her mouth flew open and she said, "MY ARREST, WHAT FOR"?, he said, "for attempted murder on two FBI agents and for and for destruction of FBI property, now I need you to please come with us". When she stepped back a couple of steps the officer said, "Savannah, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney if you can't afford one then one will be appointed to you by the court, now do you understand these rights that I have read to you"?, she stood there with a blank look on her face, what the hell had happened to change her plans so fast.
The officer said, "mam do you understand your rights"?, she nodded her head and said, "yyyes I understand", the last thing she felt was the handcuffs tightening up on her wrists as she was led away". After the door closed behind the officers Sam stood up and walked over and watched out the window as Savannah was put in the back of the police car.
After they pulled away from the curb he quickly headed out of the apartment and headed back toward his place, he knew that he had to get packed and get out of town as soon as possible, because he knew that given the chance Savannah would turn on him in a heartbeat. Savannah closed her eyes and wondered what Kevin had done, had he given her up, surely even he wasn't that stupid or was he.
The team headed off the elevator and down the hall toward Penelopes room, Derek walked into the room first and his heart shattered into a million pieces when he saw his baby girl laying there so lifeless hooked up to all of those machines. He walked over and leaned down and kissed her forehead and said, "I'm here goddess and I love you".
The team watched as he took her hand in his and brought it to his lips and gently kissed it, they had never seen Derek so brokenhearted and lost before in all the time they had know him and they were going to make sure that Kevin and Savannah paid for everything they did to the couple sitting in front of them and the sooner the better.
