Chapter 14: The Plan

Narrator`s POV:

"You have to be quick and smart…" the gruff male voice spoke low yet firm to his partner across the table "There will be security and systems in the building, you need to focus on the intelligence you have gained."

The other black haired man nodded in response to him across the table "Don't worry, I know exactly what to do, I have this figured out."

The gruff male voice spoke again "This is very important to me and once you complete this task, you move on to plan B."

The black haired man nodded in agreement once again, it seemed as if they were keeping their voices low and very secretive, the guards around them, watching couldn't suspect a thing "Mark…I'm your brother, when have I ever let you down?"

The man now known as Mark smirked and rubbed his hands together "Good, then you will know not to start now."

The man identified as Mark`s brother looked around the prison visiting lounge and made sure guards were not close by, he needed to be aware of the surroundings he was in, one false move and the guards would be on Mark like white on rice, they get suspicious for any little thing. Mark`s brother was very cautious of this.

"Just keep under the radar like you have been the last few years and these pigs shouldn't have any reason to suspect you, they don't have any way of knowing your linking to me." And this statement that Mark said couldn't have been more true, Mark`s brother changed his identity about 4 years back due to car jacks and highway robberies he had committed, he moved to Canada from Chicago when the media and the FBI were on full alert of his crimes. Changing his name, address, and social security ensured that he wouldn't be found that easily.

Mark`s brother nodded and looked him strait in the eye, as if telling him he was committed to this plan "I will get you out brother and you will be with your son again."

"Good." Mark stated sure of his brothers words to him, he shifted in his seat and cleared his throat "You will execute on Plan A, in two days, you know what to do after that."

"And once plan B is executed?" Marks brother questioned.

Mark smirked menacingly "Damien will need a mother…" was all he said and that was enough for his brother to understand what he meant.

His brother smirked along with him and nodded "I will personally make sure she doesn't slip from your arms this time brother."

"It wont be easy with that protection she has with the whole BAU team now, seeing the way I left her last week, that scum Agent Derek Morgan will have her forever in his protection." Mark snarled

His brother reached over and padded his shoulder "Don't worry about it brother, we will take care of it, don't…you…worry." He replied as he lifted off his chair in the prison visiting area and looked down at his brother "You will know once plan A is executed and the next night after plan B will be coming down full force."

Mark nodded in understanding, and said his goodbyes to his brother as he walked out of the prison, Mark sat there for a couple of second before he felt the officer ask him to put his hands behind his back and handcuffed him, lifting him off the chair to take him back to his cell.

Nikki`s POV:

I came to a quick stop in front of my door, searching for my keys out of breath. It was a very chilly morning in Chicago today and having just finished my 2 mile run around my neighborhood, I wanted to quickly get inside and take a long shower before I had to get ready for work. My finger found the key to my lock and I quickly opened the door stepping inside, and upon walking inside the house I slipped off my sneakers ready to head upstairs for a long shower when my phone began blasting its ringtone.

I looked down at my running watch and saw it was already 6:30am; I slowly jogged to where my phone was charging on the end table in the living room and glanced at the caller I.D. Derek.

I smiled and bit my lower lip softly, I had been waiting to hear his voice every since we got off the phone yesterday afternoon when he called to tell me he had gotten to Quantico safely, he was probably on his way to work right now, or maybe getting ready. I quickly cut myself from my thoughts and slid my finger on my touch screen phone to answer it.

"Well Good Morning my hot chocolate agent!" I said with a smirk and a small hint of blush creeping up in my cheeks, I was still not used to using pet names on him, being that we just decided to start fresh only a day ago, I was still kind of shy around him which was strange since we were together all through college.

"Mmm, you know I love to hear that beautiful voice in the morning." He replied back to me with a playful tone in his voice, right now I could envision the boyish grin he had on his face.

"Oh yeah, could have fooled me." I teased.

He chuckled softly through the phone "Oh come on now baby, how could you doubt me?"

I smirked and took a seat on the couch "Are you getting ready for work?"

"Yeah, I actually just go up and I just wanted to take the chance to call you and hear that oh so sexy voice."

I laughed and shook my head "Mhmm, I forgot how much of a sweet talker you could be Agent Morgan."

I could feel him smirking through the phone "You like calling me Agent, don't you?"

My breath caught in my throat and my cheeks reddened, he was going to try and tease me now and I knew it was coming "And if I'm not mistake, which I'm sure I'm not…" he paused and began again "Your blushing right about now."

I bit my lower lip and changed the subject "I never said I liked calling you agent, I just…I…" I froze; I had no comeback, shit.

He laughed softly knowing I was stuck "Hey baby, if it makes you feel any better, I love when you call me that."

I sighed and gave an amused laugh, "Mhmm, just make sure im the only one you love when I call you Agent Derek Morgan…" I said the last words seductively.

"Aye girl, don't you be doing that to me, I need to leave for work and I don't need everyone knowing what you do to me."

I smirked and rolled my eyes "Oh I'm sure they already know." I paused "You know I have Prentiss and J.J on speed dial already."

He paused quickly and gave a loud laugh "Baby, don't you be saying nothing now, I will never hear the end of it from those two!"

"Have a great day at work baby, I will take to you soon…" I cooed with a laugh trying to get away from him on the phone.

"Nikki, don't you dare, if you hang up on me…"

I giggled and covered my mouth with my hand "Oh I'm sure you`ll find a way to get back at me…byeee hunnie."

All I heard was "Nikki!" before I ended the call. I smiled brightly to myself, I loved playing games with him, as if I was going to talk to Prentiss or J.J about our personal life, I loved connecting with them in the SUV, but I have yet to become close to them, they were such great girls and I would love to get to know them better.

I took a turn on the corner and jogged up the stairs, walking into my bedroom, which was connected to my bathroom. I removed my jacket and my tank top, as I looked at myself in the mirror I noticed the bruising on my ribs were nearly gone and didn't hurt much at all, the cut on my lip was clearing up and no longer swollen and the cut on my forehead was hidden by my hair line but still a bit visible, but nothing I couldn't handle. I smiled and thought to myself 'god doesn't give you anything you can't handle' and this was something I could handle and I did, thankfully everyday that Derek was here to save my life.

As soon as I was about to remove my other articles of clothing I heard a whistle coming from my phone, alerting my that a text message had come through to me, I walked over to my bedside counter where I had laid my phone after talking to Derek and smiled at whom the text was from.

Derek: Baby you have no idea how much trouble you are in…But your lucky you so damn gorgeous or I wouldn't let this go LOL. Have a great day baby, and be safe getting to work.

My smile got bigger and I giggled typing in a response to him.

Nikki: Let it go? I don't think you have let it go, in fact you may even walk into work and ask Prentiss and J.J if I have spoken to them. Thank you baby, ill tell Damien you said Hi.

Seconds later another whistle came in, it seemed as if I was never going to get to my shower, I laughed and shook my head glancing at the text

Derek: Its scary that you know me that well…or have I just been rubbing off on you and your starting to know too much about profiling?

I laughed to myself and decided on texting him back once I finished getting ready for work, I'm never late and I knew I wasn't going to start now. I ran over to my bathroom and discarded all my clothing, stepping into the warm water.

-3:00 That Afternoon-

"So for your homework, I want each of you guys to draw me one thing in the shape of a circle, a rectangle, and a square." I finished as I drew each of the shapes on the board.

"Like a apple?" I heard a small voice shout from my right hand corner.

I smiled dusting the chalk off my hands and turning to where the voice came from "That's correct, but next time I want to see that hand raised ok ?" I questioned with a smirk on my face and my arms crossed over my chest.

"Sorry …" I heard the little girl apologize with a hint of blush on her cheeks.

I shook my head and laughed softly walked over to my desk "Ok so before we pack up and leave, I want you to come up and place all your cut-outs on my desk and they should all have your names on them, right?"

Soon I heard a chant from the entire classroom "Yesss."

I smiled and sat down on my chair getting my purse ready for the end of the day. "Alright, so when everyone is ready we can start headin outside." Class was always finished at 3:00 but going over for a couples minutes never hurt, she just needed time to go over the homework with the classroom before she actually let them leave, they were such an intelligent group of kids and she loved working with them.

Minutes later all cut-outs had been handed in and palced on my desk, I turned my wrist over and looked at my watch, only 5 minutes late. I began leading the kids out of the classroom to where their parents would be picking them up outside in the assigned area. Little feet ran to their mothers and backpacks jumped up and down in the backs as a consequences of the running. I smiled watching as all the kids hugged their moms tightly as if they hadnt seen them in days and missed them so much. I bit my lower lip thinking to myself this could have been me, its like I yearn for it, like I have mother instinct inside of thought came to my mind about adopting Damien and it made my smile brightly, that little bot was a pure angel and he always made me so happy during class time, he would be the perfect son, I don't know how our connection got so strong but it did, and what Derek says is true…I do have a different attachment with Damien , he`s different than my other students, I seem more preoccupied and involved with his life, could I possiably be saying yes to making him my son? I bit my lip and smiled with that last thought. On that last thought I pulled my bag higher on my shoulder and as I was about to grab my car keys from my purse my phone suddenly began to vibrate, looking at the caller I.D. I was surprised but yet I smiled.

"Hello?" I answered casually, walking to my car in the process.

"Hey there stranger!" I heard the familiar voice on the other end of the phone.

I laughed softly "Hey Emily! How Are you? Are you busy, working on a case?"

She sighed and I could hear the relaxation in her voice "Well today is a surprisingly slow day at the BAU, which is an extreamly rare thing, so I wanted to call and see how you were doing.." she trailed off

I smiled at her care towards me, in the small amount of time I knew Emily Prentiss, it was as if she was very protective of me, almost as if she was a mother figure. "Wellll…I`m doing great! I actually just got off of work and Im going to stop by and see Dessire, she`s remodeling her apartment and supposedly needs my help."

I could almost vision Emily smirking over the phone "Being on the topic of Derek…" she began "I have never seen him in such a good mood, what did you do to him, inject his system with happy pills?"

The thought that Emily just placed in my head made me giggle "We just…uhm…reconnected I guess…" I lied while bitting my lip.

"Stop biting your lip and stop beating around the bushes about what really happened." She replied with a firm tone of voice.

Pouting out my lip, I sighed and responded "I hate profilers…" then continued "And nothing "really" happened."

"Mhmm…" she hummed "So tell me this if nothing happened why is it I hear a different tone in your voice?"

I bit the inside of my cheek thinking of a response, all these awnser keep going through my head but none of them seemed right, it seemed like she wouldn't believe me anyways, how could I even keep anything from her, she was worse than Derek, she was a profiler and now one of my girl friends, that was not a good combination for hiding something. Apparently I took too long because when I didn't awnser she spoke up…

"You kissed him didn't you?"

"Well, technically he kissed me first but…" I gasped shocked I just reveled the truth "I mean…!"

"I knew it!" she laughed "Hunnie, you don't have to hide it, we were going to know sooner or later."

I shrugged and sat in the drivers side of my car, turning on the ignition "I wasn't really I just was not sure what Derek was telling you guys, if he was telling you anything…" I took a breathe and continued "I mean we talked about starting over, starting fresh but I didnt know if he wanted to tell you guys himself or…" Emily then soon cut me off…

"Nikki!" she laughed "Quit rambling your starting to sound like Spencer!" she laughed once more which in turn made me chuck out a little giggle "Derek hasn't said anything yet but im sure he will, don't worry."

"I know, and honestly I cant say how happy I am…and nervous…and scared."

Emily sighed on the other line "Nikki, belive me he lost you once he will not risk that again, knowing the consequences…" she paused and continued "And if he does me J.J, and Garcia will personally take it into our own hands and beat him to shreads!"

I laughed softly and switched the conversation on a different note "Ya know, I have yet to meet Garcia, I honestly cant wait."

"Oh she`s a trip, definitely unique." She replied with a chuckle and I could hear her take a sip of her drink "Are you going to be coming to visit here in Quantico?"

I smiled at the thought and drummed my fingers on the steering wheel "Yeah…Yeah, I just might."

Me and Emily stayed on the phone talking for quite a while and in that process, the phone got passed over from her to J.J and the from J.J to Garcia, I finally got to personally speak to Garcia over the phone, she seemed like such a vibrant and sweet girl, someone I can very much see myself being best friends with…while on the topic of best friends, I stayed on the phone for about an hour getting passed off from team member to team member, before I had to hang up and begin my drive to Dessire`s house, however I did have one more stop in mind that made my heart clench.

I wanted to stop at Child Sevices and see Damien, I wanted him to know that I was still always there for him and by any means didn't forget about him, so on the way over I called Desiree and told her I would be running a few minutes late, which she didn't seem to mind at all, she was beginning to move things without me but she quickly informed me that there would still be more to do. Thinking about her moving things around her apartment and remodeling made me laugh, Desiree was so petite and had little strength, for her to be moving such big things by herself was quit a show, a show that I was missing the beginning of.

I did get the chance to go and see Damien for about an hour or so, play with him, read to him and overall spend some time with him and the more time I did spend with him the more my heart melted for him, the more I just wanted to spin him around in my arms, but then another thought came to my mind, what would Derek think about me adopting him? Would he agree and still be there for me? Or would he think I was crazy and go against it? It doesn't sound like him to do something like that though, I think this is something I need to talk over with Derek much more in detail.

Regardless any time I spent with Damien was always a good time and to be totally honest I did love that little boy and he deserved that, to be loved and taken care of the right way by good parents. All these thoughts were racing through my mind as I drove to Denisse`s house from the Child Services, that and seeing Derek again, oh how much I missed him already, I couldn't deny that love I had for that man and I also cant deny that I was scared but lord knows I did trust him, but in the back of my mind I was wondering when he was going to tell people about us and what the status of "us" would exactly be and the more I thought of these things, the more it made me want to go surprise him in Quantico, Emily was right.

It seems as if Nikki is considering more and more adopting Damien, however is Damien in danger? Will Nikki be taking on a lot more than she had asked for. Being back at the BAU will Derek have told everyone of his and Nikki`s newly refreshed relationship, will she be surprising him and will he be delighted? Comments and thoughts my beauties! :)
