Survival-Ch 16
Penelope bit down on her lip as she along with Reid and JJ headed out the front door, they were all smiles as they headed toward the car, they knew that Zach and his associates were somewhere close watching so they put on quite a show. Zach licked his lips and said, "there's my Rosebud, I knew that she wasn't dead".
One of his men said, "what are we going to do now sir"?, he took a deep breath and said, "we are going to take her again, that's what we are going to do now". The man said, "since it is just Ms. Garcia and two agents it shouldn't be hard to get to her", Zach said, "trust me Todd it won't be as easy as you think to get your hands on her".
Todd laughed and said, "do you love her sir"?, he thought for a minute and said, "I do, I always have and there was a time that she loved me to but now it's obvious that she doesn't feel the same way anymore". Todd said, "I'm sorry sir, it's never easy to have a broken heart", Zach laughed and said,
"I would hardly say that I was heartbroken Todd but thanks for the concern".
Todd said, "it looks like they are heading toward town, do you want us to force them off the road and get hold of Ms. Garcia"?, he said, "yes because the sooner we get our hands on Penelope the better because our time is running out". Todd glanced through the mirror and said, "there is a straight stretch right ahead sir, we will force her off the road there", Zach nodded his head and said, "sounds good Todd".
Todd watched as the car heading around the curve, he speeded up and drove around the car, Reid looked over and then floored the car, Todd said, "nice try agent". He floored their car and forced Reid off the road and said, "nice try but not good enough", Zach and the rest of his men got out of the car and ran toward the car.
He threw the door open and was met by Dereks gun in his face, Derek said, "hello Zack", he said, "welllllllll this is a surprise, where is my beautiful Rosebud"?, Derek said, "she's somewhere safe". Zach said, "we watched her climb into the back of this car", he said, "that you did", he said, "she's in the trunk isn't she"?, he smirked as he said, "Zach you are under arrest for the kidnapping and attempted murder of three FBI agents, for anything else we can think of".
Zach smiled and said, "you think you are soooo good don't you"?, he slapped the cuffs on his wrist and said, "you have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law". He took a deep breath and said, "you have the right to an attorney and to have one with you at questioning and if you can't afford one it will be appointed to you, do you understand these rights as I have read them to you"?, he nodded his head and said, "I sure do but can you answer one question for me"?, he smiled and said, "sure".
Zach said, "where is Penelope"?, he pulled down the section of the seat and held out his hand and said, "come on baby girl, it's safe", Penelope then put her hand in his and smiled as she appeared in the back seat. He stepped aside and said, "are you alright baby girl"?, she said, "fine handsome, just fine".
Zach said, "you tricked me Rosebud", she said, "that we did Zach but don't feel bad, we took your associates down earlier", he said, "associates, what associates are you talking about"?, she said, "ohhhhhh then ones that were going to bring down the computers world wide". He said, "good job Rosebud, very good job".
She wrapped her arms around Derek and said, "it was all of us, we brought you down", Derek cupped her face in his hands and then kissed her gently on the lips and said, "that we did baby girl, that we did". Zach said, "please take me away before I lose my lunch", Derek and Penelope were both laughing as they watched Zach and his associates being put into the back of the police cars.
Reid smiled and said, "I'm glad that's over", Penelope hugged him and then one by one the rest of the team and said, "thank you all so much for what you did". Emily smiled and said, "nobody was going to take the heart away from this team, not again", Penelope took a deep breath and said, "who feels like celebrating"?, everybody laughed and said, "I DO" in unison.
Derek and Penelope walked hand in hand toward the car and the last thing Zach saw before the car pulled away was Derek wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her lips passionately.
