Rescuing Of innocence-Ch 3

Hotch and the others stood and watched how content Tracey was in Penelopes arms, JJ said, "Penelope looks so much like her mom that she feels safe with her". Reid said, "what are you going to do about calling Social Services"?, Hotch said, "we're going to have to call them but I have a plan" and they then watched as he headed over to talk to Derek and Penelope.

Tracey looked up at Penelope and weakly grinned and Penelope said, "it's okay little one, you're safe, you're safe" as she laid her head back down on Penelopes shoulder and closed her eyes. Derek said, "bless her heart. her mom and dad were killed and from what we saw their is nobody else that can take care of her".

Hotch stepped forward and said, "I need to talk to the two of you for a minute", Derek and Penelope looked at each other and then at Hotch as Derek said, "sure Hotch". Penelope could tell that he had something on his mind and she had a feeling that it was about the little girl that was now sleeping in her arms.

Hotch said, "I'm going to have to call Social Services and", Penelope said, "awwww, come on bossman, please don't do that, don't call them, please, their has to be something that we can do". Derek put his hand on the top of the little girls head as Hotch said, "the reason I wanted to talk to you is that I wanted to talk to the two of you about the possibility of maybe letting her stay with you, well at least for now".

Penelope said, "hotstuff told me that from the way things were looking this little angel doesn't have anybody", Hotch said, "not from what we have been able to find out". Derek said, "Hotch, man, I really feel sorry for this little girl", Penelope said, "me too bossman, me to and I want, I want to keep her".

She looked at Derek and said, "we can protect her hotstuff, she's safe here with us", Derek said, "baby girl I" and she put her hand on his shoulder and said, "please angel fish, she trusts us, she's comfortable with us". Dave walked into the police station and saw Derek, Penelope talking with Hotch.

He walked over to the others and said, "what's going on over there"?, Reid said, "we found her, she was hidden in a toy chest and they couldn't find her" and Dave said, "why is she with kitten and Morgan"?, Emily said, "that's because they both favor her parents and when we got her back here she went running too PG screaming mommy mommy".

Dave said, "their is something that we need to consider here", Reid said, "with her getting away from the kidnappers that means that they will still be looking for her, so she's still in danger". JJ said, "we'll have to do whatever it takes to keep her safe, we can't let them get their hands on her".

Dave looked over his shoulder and saw Penelope nodding her head yes as she pulled the little girl close to her and he said, "that we do JJ, that we do". Derek looked into Penelpoes beautiful eyes and said, "alright sweetness, alright" and he looked at Hotch said, "count us in man, she can stay with us, well that is if you can get social services to agree".

Hotch said, "oh don't worry they will" as he walked over to join the others to fill them in on what was going on before making the call to social services to get things rolling in order to keep Tracey safe. Meanwhile across the street from the police station a man grips the steering wheel of his car and says, "you won't get away from me Tracey, I have a buyer for you and get you I will".

He laughed and said, "no matter what I have to do or who I have to kill" as he started the car and pulled away from the curb
