Dead Man Walking-Ch 20

Derek was making sure that he was loaded and ready when he looked up to see Penelope sitting alone on the stairs, he walked over to her and said, "baby are you alright"?, she shook her head no and said, "no hotstuff I am not alright". He took her hand in his and said, "that was a stupid question to ask and I'm sorry", she sighed and said, "sorry I didn't mean to snap at you it's just" and Derek leaned down and gently brushed his lips against hers and said, "I understand, believe me I understand".

Penelope bit down on her bottom lip and said, "what if this doesn't work"?, Derek said, "it's going to work, we're finally going to get rid of Lynch and his friends", Penelope said, "Derek I can't lose you or the others I just can't". He squatted down in front of her and said, "you're not going to lose us and when this is over Penelope will you do me the honor of marrying me"?, she looked up at him and said, "w w what did you just say"?, he gave her his Derek Morgan smile and said, "I asked you to marry me beautiful, to marry me and spend the rest of your life with me".

Her hand slid down to her stomach and she said, "is this because of the baby"?, he said, "no goddess, it's because I love you and can't imagine a day in my life without you by my side". She smiled and said, "then yes handsome, yes I'll marry you but you have to do one thing for me first".

Derek looked at her and said, "just name it baby girl, just name it", she stood up and said, "come back safely to me and I'm yours, I'm yours forever", he leaned in and claimed her lips with his. As they pulled apart Derek said, "you my future bride have a deal", he then rested his forehead against hers and said, "I love you", she said, "and I love you" as he kissed her gently one final time before hearing Hotch say, "we're ready".

Penelope blew out a deep breath and said, "good luck", Derek said, "thanks sweetness now go, I need you to go with mom and the others downstairs and get into the panic room". She reluctantly nodded her head and said, "please be careful Derek", he winked at her and said, "I will, I promise, now go so that I'll know you're safe", she sighed and turned around and headed toward the basement door.

Derek blew out a deep breath and said, "alright let's get this show on the road" as he walked over to join Reid, Luke and Matt as they got ready for their soon to be invading enemies. Across the street Todd looked up to see Josh and Lance walking toward him, he said, "where's Kevin"?, Josh said, "he's close" as they stood there looking at the house across the street.

Matt looked out the window and said, "we now have 3 men across the street", Reid glanced through the curtains and said, "Kevins not one of them though". Derek said, "little weasel, he's probably to afraid to come here", JJ said, "he's here, you can count on that, getting his hands on Garcie is to important to him".

Emily said, "I agree with Jayje, he's here, we might not be able to see him but he's here", Dave said, "he's going to want to make sure that the job is done and that they get their hands on kitten". Derek said, "he better hope I don't get my hands on him because if I do he's a dead man".

Hotch said, "we all need to keep our head in the game, we can't let our hatred for Lynch cloud our judgement", Dave said, "Aaron's right, we need to do this the right way". Luke said, "and with as little bloodshed as possible", the team all nodded their heads yes in agreement as they took their places and readied for the men across the street to make their move.

Kevin smirked as he watched through binoculars as Penelope headed through the house and headed to the what he assumed was the kitchen, he waited and watched for Penelope to come outside but she didn't. He said, "where are you plum sauce, don't try and hide from me" as he looked and looked for her.

He blew out a deep breath and said, "you're in there somewhere and I will get you and when I do Penny you are going to regret ever disobeying me, you're going to regret ever going to Derek and his precious team and that's a promise". Kevin did a quick check to make sure that everything was in place before saying into his mic, "alright guys it's time to light them up", the men nodded their heads yes as they separated and headed toward the Morgan house to make Penelope and the BAU team pay and pay big time for what they had done.
