Wish Upon A Shooting Star-Ch 5

Penelope was sitting and talking to JJ and Emily when she heard a knock on her door, she got up and walked over to the door and felt her heart racing as she saw not only the handsome Derek Morgan standing there with a cocky smile on his face but the other men of the team. She stepped aside and motioned for them to step through the door, Reid walked through first leaving Derek to come in and shut the door behind him as he too joined the others inside Penelope's apartment.

As they joined the others Penelope sat down at her computer and showed them everything she had been able to find while doing her searches earlier, Derek and Reid couldn't help but be totally impressed by Penelope, she was amazing, she was a whiz on the computer and as he stood there looking down at the goddess in front of him he knew without a shadow of a doubt that she was not only perfect but she was perfect for him too.

Hotch looked around the room and said, "Ms. Garcia you are amazing, you are without a doubt the best hacker I have ever seen", Emily grinned down at Penelope and said, "that is high praise indeed because trust me when I say that my husband isn't one to say stuff like that". JJ nodded her head in agreement and said, "very true but he does compliment when it is deserved and trust me when I say that the compliment he just gave you was sooooo deserved Garcie, I mean Penelope", Penelope smiled and said, "you can call me Garcie if you want too, I liked it" causing JJ to smile.

Reid kept his eyes on the screen as he continued watching the footage, he said, "how far can you track this van?", she said, "well let's see" and they all stood and watched in amazement as they watched her fingers fly across the keyboard with amazing speed. Dave glanced down at his step son and could tell that he was definitely smitten with the tech kitten, a few minutes later Penelope looked up at the team and said, "it appears that they are or at least the van is here on Hudson street", she then said, "it's been there for a few minutes, I'll look and see if I can find them inside any of the buildings" as once again her fingers flew across the keyboard.

Hotch said, "JJ, I want you to stay here with Penelope and keep us updated if she's able to find anybody, we'll go ahead and head to Hudson street", JJ nodded her head and said, "sure thing Hotch", Derek then put his hand on Penelope's shoulder and said, "good job baby girl, you're amazing". She thought her heart was going to burst from her chest and fly away, she had never ever felt this way before, she had never been so lost too a feeling like this before but was able to look up at him and smile as she said, "thank you".

Before walking out of the room Dave said, "you are indeed amazing kitten, I have never seen a hacker as talented as you in my life", she said, "thank you agent Rossi", she said, "ohh by the way I loveeeeee your books", she pointed to her bookshelf and said, "as you can see I have all of your books". Dave said, "it's nice to meet a fan", Penelope said, "once I start reading onr of your books I usually can't stop until I've finished the entire thing", Dave said, "just a heads up I will have another book coming out in a few months, if you want I can get you an early copy?", she looked up at him and said, "yes please".

Derek sighed and thought to himself, you've got a woman, leave mine alone" but he grinned and said, "come on old man, let's go", Dave said, "I'll show you an old man youngster", he then looked down at Penelope and said, "keep up the good work kitten, keep up the good work", she then watched as the rest of the team turned around and headed out of her apartment leaving behind JJ and Penelope who quickly started looking through footage hoping to find something, anything that would help Derek and his team find the kidnapped girl.

JJ smiled down at her new friend and said, "he likes you ya know?", Penelope said, "huh, who?", JJ said, "Derek of course, he likes you, that is ohhhh so obvious and I can honestly let you know that he's a flirt but when he's with you it's more than flirting", hearing that made her smile as she went back to her seraches. Meanwhile the team arrived on Hudson street and were getting out of their SUV's so they could start making their way slowly building to building as they searched for the unsub and his latest victim.

Penelopt said, "Jayje, I mean JJ", JJ laughed and said, "Jayje is fine with me Garcie", Penelope grinned and said, "I think I've found him, well at least this looks like the man in the footage", JJ leaned down and said, "that's him, that's him, Garcie you're amazing" as she pulled her cell from her belt and hit Hotch's number. After a couple of rings he said, "please tell me that you have something JJ?", JJ said, "she did it Penelope found him" as she continued looking at the footage she said, "he's in the Potamic Building and Hotch he's got our victim with him".

Hotch said, "thanks JJ, we'll head there and see if we can't stop this unsub and get this victim safely into our custody", before ending the call he said, "tell Garcia that she did an amazing job and that I would like to talk to her later about working for us". JJ said, "will do, will do" and when the call ended she put her cell back onto her belt and said, "Hotch said, "you did an amazing job and that he'd like to talk to you later", Penelope said, "talk to me later, talk about what?", JJ crossed her arms over her chest and said, "about possibly working for us at the BAU", after hearing that news Penelope thought she had died and gone to heaven, could that really happen, could she really be able to work with Derek and her other new friends, well only time and the conversation with Hotch would be able to tell for sure.

A few minutes later JJ got a call letting her know that they had caught the unsub and that the victim was safe and on her way to the hospital to be checked out, Penelope was so happy to know that she did indeed make a difference, that she was able to help bring a bad guy to justice and helped save a life, a life that without her help might not have made it back home alive.
