Hunted-Ch 3

The three brothers stood there laughing as they passed their time away, Scott said, "ya reckon they're still running"?, Sam said, "yeah probably but I bet the blonde is a slowin him down". Liam said, "she's so purty ain't she"?, the brothers nodded their heads in agreement causing the younger brother to smile, he sighed happily and said, "she's gonna be mine, count on that brothers".

Sam looked down at his watch and said, "alright boys, times up, it's huntin time" and they were all smiles as they split up heading in three seperate directions just hoping to try to surround them so that they could take Derek out of the picture. Sam stopped walking and listened but couldn't hear anything, he said, "this might be a good hunt afterall".

Derek looked over at Penelope and said, "baby girl we have to keep going", she said, "I just need to rest Derek, please just a few seconds", he nodded his head and said, "ok sweetness, ok". She looked at him and said, "do you have any idea who they are"?, he shook his head and said, "no idea sweetness", she said, "do you think the team will figure out what's going on"?, he smiled and said, "yeah I do".

She said, "what did you do handsome, I know that smile"?, he said, "while you were keeping the brother busy I was able to activate the agent distress code on one of the cells". She said, "you are really something hotstuff", he winked at her and said, "so are you goddess, so are you", he took a few more breaths and said, "we really need to get moving".

Penelope stood up and said, "alright let's go", they once again started making their way through the woods hoping that they would be able to hold the brothers off just long enough for the team to get there. As they pushed through the trees and roots they wondered just where the brothers were, Derek was on high alert as he scanned the area.

Hotch was sitting in his ofice working on paperwork when there was a knock at his door, he said, "come in", the door opened to reveal his wife Emily, she stepped inside and he said, "what's wrong"?, she said, "we just recieved an agent in distress code from Morgans cell". He jumped up and said, "but they're at the cabin", she nodded her head and said, "true but when we recieved the code Dave had the grounds keeper go check and he said that the cabin was empty and things were thrown all over the place".

Hotch said, "get the rest of the team and we'll head up there, I don't like this", she said, "will do", she then turned around and headed to gather the rest of their family. Dave met Hotch at the top of the stairs and said, "I just got some bad news", he said, "how bad"?, he said, "several bodies were discovered", he said, "why do I think that theres something you aren't telling me"?, he bit down on his lip and said, "it appears that they were hunted and killed like prey".

Dave looked up to see the rest of the team gathering their things, he said, "we don't know what we're walking in to so I want everybody to be very careful", they all nodded their heads as they stepped onto the elevators. The ride down in the elevator was quiet as the team prayed that their friends were safe and sound, when the doors opened they jumped into 2 SUVs and quickly made their way out of the parking garage.

Liam smiled as he looked down and saw footprints, he hunkered down and touched the track and said, "there she is, there's my girl", he then got up and slowly started following Penelopes tracks. Sam smiled as he saw no signs of either Derek or Penelope, he said, "well they are gonna make this hard, good, the harder the better as fer as I'm corncerned".

Scott said, "I figured we'd have them by now, looks like they are givin us a run", he put his gun on his shoulder and stopped to see if he could hear anything and when he didn't a huge smile crossed his lips. Meanwhile Derek and Penelope were walking pretty fast and as they stepped over a huge tree root Penelope caught her ankle and fell.

Before she hit the ground she let out a blood chilling scream, Derek said, "baby girllllllll", she grabbed her ankle and said, "ohhhhh Derek I think it's broke, I think it's broke". The three brothers stopped when they heard the scream, Scott and Sam then turned and started running toward the scream, Sam said, "well well maybe we're gonna catch em after all".

Derek quickly grabbed the first aid kit and got the ace wrap out of it and wasted no time in wrapping her ankle, he said, "baby we can't stay here, we've got to get started again". She said, "I can't walk Derek, I just can't", he said, "I'll carry you", she said, "no I'll just slow you down, why don't you go ahead and leave me here"?, he said, "no mam I will not leave you, now let's go".

He helped her up and then picked her up bridal style and said, "I love you Penelope", she said, "and I love you", they then took off trying to put as much distance between them and the brothers as they could, the entire time hoping and praying that the team gets there before it's to late.
