Rescuing Of Innocence-Ch 7

The next morning after making sure that Tracey had some breakfast Derek and Penelope along with the rest of the team headed back to the police station to start fresh. Tracey stayed right by Penelopes side as she worked on her computer trying to help the team find the sickko that was killing parents and taking their children.

They didn't know that they were being watched and very closely, right now a young woman was helping keep watch on Tracey, she was trying to make sure that the team didn't take her and leave. She had come close to Tracey but not close enough to be able to grab her and run.

Derek and the team were in the conference room working on a profile when the lead detective ran into the room and said, "we've got two more bodies", Hotch said, "let me guess, same M O "?, the detective said, "right, both were killed by blunt force trauma to the head and face and like the other cases their 2 year old son Todd and 3 year old daughter Terri were taken".

Reid looked up at Hotch said, "Reid I want you and Dave to head to the new crime scene", he then looked at Derek and said, "and Morgan I want you and JJ to head back to Traceys house and pick up some clothes". JJ and Derek nodded their heads yes and turned around and headed toward the exit.

Before walking out the door Derek said, "I'm going to go let baby girl know that we've got more bodies", JJ followed Derek and smiled as they walked into the room and saw Penelope and Tracey coloring. Derek said, "sweetness, we've got more bodies", Penelope said, "same as the others"?, he said, "sadly yes baby".

JJ said, "Dave and Spence are heading to the new crime scene and me and Morgan are heading back to Traceys house to grab some of her clothes", Penelope said, "if it's not too much trouble can you bring some of her toys too please"?, Derek kissed the top of first Penelopes head and then Traceys and said, "sure thing goddess" before they then turned around and headed out of the office.

A few minutes later Penelope smiled as she glanced down and saw that Tracey was napping, that was a good thing because pictures of the latest crime scene filled her computer screen. Penelopes heart broke into a million pieces at the thoughts of more innocent children being taken and their families killed at the whims of a sick freak.

It wasn't long before Derek and JJ were pulling back up at the crime scene, they got out of their SUV and headed toward the front door, they removed the crime tape and stepped inside. JJ said, "my heart breaks for that sweet angel", Derek said, "me too Jayje, me too" as they started up the staircase.

The car that had been following Derek was currently parked up the street. the man got out of the car and quietly made his way toward the house to try to deter the agents and slow them down. As he stepped through the back door and made his way toward the staircase and the room where Derek and JJ were looking for clothes and toys for Tracey.

Derek smiled as he picked up a teddy bear and said, "something tells me that this is one of her favorites", JJ looked up and said, "ahhhh yes and don't forget the princess doll laying on her bed". Derek said, "on it" as he grabbed the doll and put it along with the bear into the bag that was laying on the bed.

JJ had picked out several outfits of clothes and a couple of pajama sets and had put them into the travel bag and they were turning around to head out when Derek heard the floor squeak. He motioned to JJ by putting his finger over his lips, he then pointed to the hallway, she nodded her head as they quietly made their way toward the bedroom door.

Both agents had their guns drawn and ready as they stepped out into the hall, the man saw the agents and began firing, Derek and JJ were able to dodge the bullets as they made their way closer and closer to the man shooting at them. The man smiled and said to himself, "I need to slow you two down, I've got to do something to keep you distracted so that we can get our hands on Tracey" as he took aim again and fired.

JJ fired back at the unsub hitting the wall over his head, he fired back and smiled as he got close, very close to both agents, Derek looked at JJ and motioned that he was going to go around". She nodded her head and gave his cover as he stood up and made his way closer to the unsub.

The man saw Derek trying to get closer to him so he took aim and watched as Derek hit the floor, he saw that Dereks once white shirt was now covered with blood. He smiled and said, "that ought to do the job", he then made his way down the stairs but looked over his shoulder to see JJ leaning over her partner putting pressure on his stomach.

As he made it to the kitchen he heard JJ say, "hang on Morgan, hang on" as she looked down at her now unconscious friend
