Part two

The bumpy landing jarred Penelope from her light sleep. Rising up slightly her eyes automatically glanced back towards Derek, who stared out the window blank faced. Bragged her eyes away, she knew tonight she wouldn't get the discussion with him they needed. Of course that wouldn't stop her from trying.

Slowly they bragged their tired bodies off the plane one by one to the waiting SUV's. Moving quicker then she thought possible, with being so exhausted, Penelope caught up with Morgan.

"Derek," her weary voice said trying to get him to stop.

Coming up short quickly, Morgan turned around to face her, "It's late Garcia and I'm tired, so not today," he stated turned back towards the SUV.

"Morgan, stop for just a damn minute," came Penelope's agitated voice.

Turning back around, he all, but glared at her. Never had she used that tone of voice with him. "What's so damn important that it can't wait until tomorrow?"

Shock entered her eyes, but was swiftly pushed aside, "I thought you would like to come over maybe watch a few movies, eat popcorn, and just chill out."

She knew this really wasn't the time to be doing this with everyone standing around watching them. But she knew if she didn't do this now than it would be too late, because if they got back to the BAU he'd disappear and she wouldn't see him again till Monday morning.

"Not tonight Garcia I have other plans," Morgan returned but to himself, 'With a couch and a few bottles of beer. Real fun night there Morgan.'

"Oh will I'm sorry for having interrupted your fun Agent Morgan next time I wont waste my breath," Penelope spat turning and starting to walk off.

"Now hold up a damn minute there woman. What's got your panties all in a twist?"

"Maybe it's because every time I've offered to spend little quality time together you have some lame ass excuse. You know this case didn't just effect you we all felt it. We all hate it. But unfortunately that is the way of the world. Everything happens for a reason," Penelope answered waiting to smack him up side his head.

"You have no idea what you're talking about," Morgan returned, the words turning to ash in his mouth when he caught sight of the look in her eyes. He tried to apologize, "Penelope I'm…"

She cut him off, "No of course I wouldn't understand I'm just the lowly tech who saves your ass nine times out of ten. You want to know why my panties are in a twist it's because I miss my best friend damn it and he seems to not give a shit anymore." She turned towards JJ, "Could I have a ride back to the office Jayje?"

JJ stood there a minute, before Penelope's words registered, "Of course Pen."

Derek just watched her go, his mind replaying everything that was said, knowing that he'd been an incentive jerk. Shaking the thoughts from his mind Derek started for his truck thankfully that he'd brought it instead of riding with someone.

He never heard the footsteps that followed him. "You know you're a real jackass."

"Come to lecture me to Prentiss?"

"No just to let you know that like usual you've suck your foot in your mouth and this time she may not forgive you so easily."

"And maybe that's how it should be," he shot back turning to face her.

"Than that would be your loss Morgan a stupid one at that," Emily said in an exasperated tone. "I never pegged you for one who gave up so easily, but then again I've been wrong before."

"Gave up on what?"

Emily just shook her raven head, knowing that deep down he saw it, but pride was letting fall to the side. "You gave up on her, on the two of you. What I don't get is why? Are you really that prideful or just stupid?"

"This has nothing to do with you Prentiss, just leave it be," Derek growled facing his truck again, 'Damn profilers.'

"It has everything to do with me, with the team. You just don't get it do you, you really are that blind," Emily said wondering how the man in front of her could be a profiler.

"Your starting to sound like Gideon, Prentiss get on with it or just leave it be," Derek stated exasperated with this little conversation.

"Penelope you jackass, cares for you a hell of a lot more than you think. She gave up her one chance at happiness even if it was imperfect and the man was a jerk, but she thought that you'd come around. Regrettably she'd been wrong," Emily replied a condescending tone to her voice.

Shock couldn't even describe what he was feeling when Emily's words hit him. "What are you talking about?" he asked a disbelieving tone to his voice.

"It's not my place to tell you that. Just know that Kevin offered her everything, of course he judged her at every turn, but he was willing to have a family and give her the one dream she's wanted for a while now," Emily answered giving him more than she should have, but wanting him to really think about what he was doing.

Anger flared in his dark eyes, "You mean to tell me that little shit hurt Penelope."

"Not physically, no but there are other ways to hurt someone," Emily answered vaguely hoping that this would push him in the right direction.

Running a hand over his neck Morgan stared at Emily trying to figure a few things out. His head telling him one thing and his heart another. The part buried down deep wanted to run to Penelope and take her in his arms and hold on forever, but the other part told him to just leave it be. She didn't need him messing her life up anymore than it all ready is. His own life had been and always would be in shambles given his past and the hero complex Hotch pointed out not to long ago. He had nothing to offer her, nothing but heart ache.
