Survival-Ch 9
When they stepped back into her office she looked around and said, "ahhhhhhhh yes it is sooooo good to be back", Hotch grinned and said, "it's good to have you back Garcia". She sat down in front of her babies and said, "alright sir, what do you want me to do first"?, he said, "I understand that you know the man that kidnapped you, JJ and Em, is that right"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes".
She swallowed hard and said, "do you remember when I talked about what happened to me after my parents died, about how I went underground"?, they all nodded their heads yes. She said, "well he was my boyfriend and together there wasn't anything we couldn't do or get", JJ said, "what happened between you two"?, she sighed and said, "let's just say that when he didn't get what he wanted he would want to fight and I got tired of being his human punching bag".
Emily said, "ohhh PG I'm so sorry", she smiled and said, "think nothing of it my raven haired beauty, think nothing of it", Hotch said, "I need you to work your magic and see if you can find him". She said, "alrighty sir buttttttt it might take a while because he's good", Derek smiled and said, "but he isn't you baby girl".
She said, "awwwwwwww sug you're only saying that cause it's true", everybody laughed and Hotch said, "until further notice you will have at least one of us plus Morgan with you at all times, are you okay with that"?, she nodded her head and said, "that's fine sir". Hotch said, "Dave, I want you and Emily to meet with Kevin and see if he has been able to come up with anything".
Dave said, "on it", he then looked at Reid and said, "Reid I need you to stay with Penelope and Derek and JJ I need you to come with me", she nodded her head and said, "I'll see you later Garcie". She walked over and hugged her friend and said, "it is sooooooo good to have you home", Penelope then wrapped her arms around the blond and said, "it's good to be back sunshine".
After everybody was gone Reid leaned in and said, "so how do you feel about everything that's happened"?, he said, "I'm angry and hurt but so so glad that she is alright and back with us". Reid said, "are you made at Garcia"?, he shook his head and said ,"no it wasn't her fault, she only stayed away for our safty, she didn't want to put us in danger".
Derek said, "there is something that I don't understand sweetness", she looked up at him and said, "and what's that my chocolate kiss"?, he grinned and said, "I saw your body in the morgue and everybody saw it at the funeral, how did that happen"?, she sighed and said, "Strauss found a woman that could pass for my twin".
Derek said, "so neither of the times I saw the body wasn't you"?, she said, "oh yes you saw me in the morgue but just as soon as you stepped onto the elevator Strauss had her men switch the bodies". Emily said, "PG we had no idea, no idea what soever that the body in the coffin wasn't you", she took a deep breath and said, "that was the plan sweetie, that was the plan".
Penelope said, "once I was strong enough Strauss came and spent several days with me and filled me in on everything", Derek caressed her cheek and said,
"I can't believe that you are here with me". She smiled and said, "I'm here hotstuff, safe and sound", JJ said, "I've missed you, we've missed you so much Garcie", she smiled and said, "I missed all of you everyday Jayje, everyday", she then turned back to her computer.
Penelope was letting her fingers do the work when she felt two hands on her shoulders, she smiled and said, "ohhhhh that feels good", Derek laughed and said, "ohhhhhh how I've missed you baby girl". She looked up and said, "I've missed you to hotstuff, you have no idea just how much", Derek sighed as he kissed the top of her head and said, "ohhhhh yes I do".
Penelope bit down on her bottom lip and said, "sooooooo have you got a girlfriend"?, he sighed and said, "yeah and you're gonna love her", Penelopes heart sank and she said, "I can't wait to meet her". Derek said, "she's beautiful and smart and she has one of the kindest most loving hearts I have ever seen in my life".
She hit a few keys and said, "that's great handsome, you deserve to be happy, does she make you happy"?, he nodded his head and said, "ohhhhhhhh she does sweetness, she does". Reid watched and listened to the conversation and just grinned and shook his head, he knew what Derek was doing but he felt sorry for Penelope because she didn't know that Derek was talking about her.
Reid cleared his throat and said, "I think I'm going to go grab a cup of coffee real quick, does anybody want a cup"?, Derek and Penelope shook their heads no and he said, "I'll be right back". Penelope then turned her attention back to her computer hoping that she would be able to find Zach and then she could finally get her life back, the life that he took away all those months ago.
