Finding Love Across the Pond

Chapter 5

NPOV:

We were in the safe house waiting for the assignments we would be having during the case.

"Alright Clyde, Emily and I have decided whatever role each of you would have during this investigation. Well to begin Derek and Dave will be the acting team leaders because I will be handling the bureaucratic side of working for the government. JJ and Penelope will be handling the history and track Doyle and his men's cellular phone usage and any electronic use. Clyde and Ashley will be on the surveillance side of the operation. Emily, Spencer and Natalie will be working the profile and geographic profile." Hotchner announces.

"Hotch can I ask Emily something?" Derek asks.

Penelope looks at her husband with confusion.

"What is it Morgan?" Emily asks.

"Why were you with Doyle?"

"You can't choose who you fall in love with and I was in love with him." She answers sincerely.

"How can you love a terrorist?"

"I don't know why was Jane in love with Frank?"

"What brought that on?" Derek asks.

"She asked me if it was wrong loving Frank and I told her you can't choose who you fall in love with and I spoke from experience." She told him honestly.

"You lied to us for six years!" Derek yells.

"I had to I was under oath." Emily tells him starting to get annoyed.

"Derek please stop," Penelope pleads with her husband.

"Don't give me that 'I was under oath crap' because I don't care." He tells her.

"Do you hear yourself right now we didn't turn on you about Buford and I would appreciate it if you didn't gang up on me about Ian Doyle, please." She tells him.

"Don't bring up that son of a bitch ever again." He tells her with an edge to his voice.

"Morgan that is enough." Hotch orders him.

"Why Hotch? You don't want me yelling at your girlfriend?" he asks him.

"Derek if you don't shut up I am cutting you off for a month." Penelope tells him.

"Alright, I'll shut up." Derek tells his wife.

"Thank you Penelope." Emily and Hotch tell her at the same time.

That was creepy. Remind me to never piss off Derek he is a bastard when angry and Penelope seems very scary. Imagine what she could do to your life just with some keys on her keyboard.

"Where do we work?" I asked Hotch.

"Here since we are not here officially from the state and that we are doing something that isn't exactly praised about in the BAU." Hotch answers my question.

"We'll start in the morning let's get some sleep." Hotch tells us.

Spencer and I go into our room and quickly get our pajamas on.

"Spencer can I ask you a question?" I ask him.

"Sure what is it?"

"What is with Derek he pretty much attacked Emily tonight?"

"Derek has some trust issues. When he was a child he was living with his single mother and his older sisters and he was troubled. When he was a teenager he was getting into trouble and his football coach Carl Buford would take him to fishing trips in his cabin in Wisconsin…" he tells me.

"…He molested Derek didn't he?" I ask him.

Spencer nodded. "Derek kept it quiet until about six years ago when he was falsely accused of murder of a kid. We had to go to Chicago and profile him and it was awful. We uncovered his past that was essponged by a judge because of Buford's testimony that Derek was an upstanding man to the community. He escaped and confronted him until he confessed in the youth center and then he was arrested for murder of the boy."

"What happened last year?"

"Emily left the FBI one day while we were giving a profile of Doyle. She didn't tell us that he was after her. Derek kind of overreacted when it was discovered that she had a relationship with Doyle which happened again tonight."

"I agree with Emily he shouldn't have judged her because you didn't judge him about his past." I told him and Spencer agreed.

"How about you, did you overreact?" I ask him.

"No I didn't I knew it was her past and I have no right to judge her."

"That's one of the things I love about you, you don't judge others." I tell him as I kiss his lips.

"I love you too Natalie." He leans into the kiss and deepens it.

"We should get some sleep we need to start working so we can get him." I tell him and cuddle into his side.
