Dead Man Walking-Ch 14
After the family enjoyed a delicious meal Fran, Sarah and Desiree cleared the table off and put the dishes into the dishwasher before joining everybody in the living room. They laughed and talked for several hours, they talked about when they were kids and Sarah and Desiree brought up story after story about Dereks antics.
Penelope threw her head back and laughed and said, "awwwww I bet you were adorable hotstuff", Derek said, "were, what am I now woman chopped liver"?, she leaned in and kissed his lips gently and said, "mine is what you are, mine alllllll mine" and he said, "that's exactly right" and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer.
Dave smiled and said, "I can just imagine Derek running naked up the street", Derek said, "heyyyyyyyy I was only 3 years old it's not like I was a teenager and was streaking up the road". They were pulled from their conversation by somebody knocking on the door, Dave stood up and said, "that's probably for me" and walked over to the door and smiled as he opened the door.
Dave said, "come in gentlemen, come in" as he stepped aside and let the two men walk inside, Dave said, "guys this is Luke Alvez and I'm sure you all remember Matt Simmons from the previous case we worked with him". Derek said, "yeah, how are you doing Matt, long time no see man".
Matt said, "I'm good, glad to be able to do something again, being without a team sucks", Derek said, "sorry about that man", Matt looked at Penelope and said, "hello beautiful", she said, "hi honey" as she threw her arms around him. Reid said, "Luke Alvez, wait I've heard of you and from what I hear you're do amazing work".
Luke smiled and said, "thank you Dr. Reid", Reid said, "please call me Spencer", Luke looked at Dave and said, "have you heard anything from Kevin or any of his friends"?, Dave said, "nope not yet, it's going to take him a few days to figure out we tricked him and start trying to track us down".
Matt said, "something tells me that Penelope covered your tracks", she said, "I did and hopefully it will be good enough to buy us some time". Derek said, "don't worry goddess, I'd say it will take him a while before he finds us but when and if he does we'll be ready for him", she kissed his lips and nodded her head in agreement.
Fran said, "are you boys hungry we just had dinner not long ago", Desi said, "follow me and I'll set the food up for you", Luke followed quickly behind Desiree and Matt looked at everybody and said, "it looks like somebody is smitten" as he fell in behind Luke and Desiree and headed to the kitchen.
Penelope yawned and Derek said, "come on sweetness it's time for me to get you tucked in", he stood up and pulled her to her feet, she turned around and said, "good night everybody". Dave said, "good night kitten", Fran and the others said, "good night" as they watched Derek wrap his arm gently around Penelopes waist and lead up the stairs that led to their room.
