Bare Fisted-Ch 3
Penelope was still pacing back and forth across the room when the team arrived at Dereks with the CSIs, Hotch said, "did you touch anything Garcia"?, she shook her head and said, "nothing but the door, I pushed it open and came in". Dave said, "kitten are you alright"?, she nodded her head and said, "just worried about hotstuff that's all".
JJ said, "what can you tell us about the call"?, she then spent the next few minutes filling the team in on the call from Cassie, when she was finished she said, "I need to find out who that Cassie is". Reid said, "what did she say"?, Penelope said, "she said that Derek cost her a lot of money and until he paid her back he was going to be with her".
Fran hugged Penelope and said, "did he know about the baby"?, everybodys mouths flew open and they said, "BABY" in unison", Penelope said, "I just found out today during lunch and I was going to tell Derek tonight". Dave said, "how did you know she's pregnant"?, she grinned and said, "I'm a nurse and I've had 3 kids of my own and when she started showing symptoms I just knew it".
Derek was laying on his bed with his legs crossed watching tv, he hoped that his team would find him and soon, he remembered this Cassie, she was the wife of one of the cartel leaders that he had went undercover to take down. She was a piece of work and he was sorry, sorry that she was using his family against him, if he didn't do what she said, when she said, one of them would be hurt or worse.
Cassie unlocked Dereks door and said, "congratulations on your first win", he said, "thanks", she ran her hand up his leg and said, "how about we celebrate"?, he shook his head and said, "no thanks". She said, "Derek", he said, "I told you that I'd fight when you told me to and who you told me to but as far as anything else happening the answer is no".
She sighed and said, "such a shame", she then turned around and said, "make sure he gets a good dinner because he's going to fight again later", one of her goons said, "yes Cassie" as he turned around and came back with a tray filled with food. As she started walking toward the door she said, "ohhh before I go I wanted you to know that I talked to your precious Penelope".
He looked up and said, "was she alright"?, she laughed and said, "she's fine, fine now that she knows that you' there here with me for the near future", he said, "please let me go, I'll get you the money I cost you, please". She said, "tisk, tisk Derek, I didn't take you as one who begs", he said, "I just want to go home to my family".
She said, "well then win me my money back and then maybe, just maybe you'll get to see them again", he said, "I'll do what it takes to get back to my family, whatever it takes" as he started eating his food to prepare for his next fight. Meanwhile back home Penelope and the team were doing everything possible to find Derek but everything they tried and everywhere they turned proved helpless,
Penelope put her hand on her stomach and said, "don't worry we'll get your daddy back, I promise", little did she know that the baby growing inside of her would be almost 4 before they would get Derek back.
