Too many things unsaid
Chapter 54 – more information on the case
Derek walked into the BAU; happy he got to see his friends and team mates again in the office.
He said hello to everyone and they all had a conversation until Hotch told them to get back to work, Derek went to his desk and started on his paperwork.
After half an hour of doing paper work Hotch called him to his office.
He walked up to Hotch's office and knocked on the door, he stepped inside when Hotch called 'come in'
Derek took a seat opposite Hotch.
Hotch cleared his throat 'I got to take a look at the footage from the camera and I didn't see anything, no one was in there at the time you said it happened. I could let Garcia use her computers in the office and search who Buford knew personally and get more information. See who he called and things like that' Hotch suggested.
Derek nodded his head and said 'okay, but Hotch Buford knows everyone' 'I know but maybe they can give us some information. Does he have any kids or anything?' Hotch asked, feeling disgusted, even asking that question.
Derek was almost sick when Hotch asked the question. He put his hand over his mouth and coughed 'sorry… oh god… I hope not… no I don't think he does' Derek told him, now feeling physically sick.
Hotch nodded and said 'Okay thanks, I know this is difficult for you' Hotch said sympathetically.
Derek nodded, then Hotch told him he could go home and look after his 3 children with Penelope. He smiled and got up, saying goodbye to everyone.
Derek got home quickly and opened the door, walking in and saying he was home quietly incase the triplets were asleep.
Penelope smiled; she was in the middle of changing Shakia when DJ started crying. Derek came in the room and said hey to Penelope and Shakia then picked up Daniel. Daniel stopped crying when he was picked up and then opened his eyes for a moment before closing them again.
Derek got Daniel to sleep again and put him back down; he made sure Krystal was okay and then checked on Shakia. He then walked over to Penelope and they walked out of the room quietly.
When they got downstairs Penelope turned round and gave Derek a kiss. 'So… what did Hotch say?'
'He looked at the tape and didn't see anything so, he said you could look on the computers and see Buford knew and spoke to often, even though he knew everyone and then…' Derek hurled and continued after a moment 'then he asked if Buford had any kids…' Derek said sounding and looking absolutely disgusted.
Penelope looked shocked and disgusted 'EW… and does he, I hope not, he doesn't deserve to be a dad when he does that…' Penelope replied.
'Yea I agree… I don't know if he does, I hope he doesn't, his kids and no one deserves to go through that' Derek told her.
'Okay, do you want me to look into Buford a bit more?' Penelope asked, wanting to help as much as possible.
'Yea, see if he has any family or anything, if he has a child then the mother might not have put it down, that he was the father' Derek said hoping that was the case and desperately hoping that he didn't have a child.
'Okay sure, I'll start checking, are you hungry? I can make you something' Penelope said.
'No baby girl, its fine, I'm not hungry, maybe I'll eat later' Derek told her, smile on his face.
Penelope glared at him 'well you really need to eat, I'm making sure, you'll eat later then and you can't get out of that one' Penelope said and put her hand on his face.
Derek nodded and gave her a kiss; 'yea baby girl, I'm pretty sure you will I'm just not in the mood for eating' he said and gave her a hug, which she gladly returned.
They went to sit on the couch and Derek was just about to say something they heard one of the babies cry. Derek got up and told Penelope to stay, so that he could go and get the baby. He picked up DJ and he stopped crying, Derek changed him and tried to get him back to sleep and then Derek realized he was hungry, Derek left the room after checking on his girls and went downstairs to Penelope.
Penelope stretched out her arms and Derek gave DJ to his mum so he could get fed. Derek sat down next to Penelope and one of the girls started crying, he sighed and got back up, he saw Penelope trying to hide a smirk but she couldn't stop it. 'I saw that baby girl…' he said, then went to get the girls.
He changed them and spoke to them at the same time, to keep them entertained and went downstairs to Penelope.
He sat down next to Penelope again, Krystal starting to fall asleep; she woke up again though when someone knocked on the door. Derek groaned and asked no one in particular 'really?' and got up again, this time Penelope couldn't help but laugh.
He left Krystal and Shakia with Penelope and went to see who it was.
He opened the door for Hotch and he stepped in. 'Hotch… come in, do you want a drink or anything?'
Hotch shook his head and said 'no thank you, I was going to call and let you know we found something but I thought you might have been busy and its easier to tell you face to face' he walked in, to see Penelope feeding DJ with Shakia and Krystal next to her. 'Hello Penelope, how are all of you?' Hotch asked nicely, being a friend and not a boss.
'Hey boss man, we're okay, I guess we're a bit tired but that's normal and I don't mind, how are you and everyone at the BAU?'
Hotch smiled and replied 'that's good… everyone is fine actually, bit quiet but we're all good, I came here because I have information on the case' Hotch said, taking a seat.
Derek picked up Krystal and asked if Hotch wanted to hold her, he nodded his head politely and took her in his arms.
Derek sat down next to Penelope with Shakia in his arms, and he started to listen to what Hotch had to say.
Hotch cleared his throat and explained 'yea, so when you left this morning I did some more research, and I spoke with a kid around 19 he said his name was Jayden… he said that Carl Buford was his dad… he has a son, so we're going to ask him to come over so we can question him, he's coming tomorrow, as we don't want to waste any time, he said he knows what his dad did but we're going to question him… I thought you might want to come in, you can't be in the interviewing room though, you're too close to the case, but if we need anything you can come in'
Penelope was happy that they found someone who could help out the case but felt disgusted that he did actually have a son. 'That's really good, that you found him, do you want me there see if I can get any information on him' Penelope suggested, knowing they would have to bring the triplets with them but if it would help on the case she was willing to do anything…
