Hunted-Ch 15

Sam ended up with a bullet in his shoulder and another one in his leg before they were able to get him to the ground and get the cuffs on him, as the locals read him his rights Dave was helping Derek and Penelope. Derek said, "are you alright sweetness"?, she said, "f f fine, I'm fine", Dave said, "come on kitten and let's get you out of here".
She said, "h h how did he get in here"?, one of the officers came into the room and said, "it seems like the lock on one of the windows was picked", Derek said, "the lock doesn't matter the only thing that does is that Penelope is alright". Penelope said, "how did you know something was going on Dave"?, he said, "you can thank your future mother in law for that".

Derek said, "what did momma do"?, he helped Penelope sit up and said, "she stopped by the store and grabbed a few things and was downstairs putting it up when she heard him screaming". Penelope smiled as he said, "she called me and then got out of the house and I called the locals to back me up", Derek said, "thank God that momma came by", they all nodded their heads in agreement as they stood up.

Penelope said, "where are we going to stay"?, Derek said, "well we will need to find a place for a few days", Dave said, "you two can stay with us", Derek said, "thanks Dave we appreciate that". Derek then picked Penelope up bridal style and said, "let's go and get you settled at Daves and then I'll come back and get everything here settled".

Dave said, "you definitley need a new alarm system", Derek said, "definitely" as they started making their way down the stairs, when she saw them leading Sam away in cuffs Fran started making her way toward the house. She was standing in front of the house when she saw everybody walking toward her, she said, "is everybody doing okay"?, Dave said, "we're all fine Bella".

Derek said, "thanks momma", she said, "for what baby boy"?, he said, "for stopping by to drop some groceries off because if you hadn't it's hard to tell what he would have done to us". She hugged Derek, Penelope and Dave and said, "are you sure that you're alright"?, Dave said, "we're fine sweetheart", Derek said, "we're going to be staying with you for a few days until I can get the alarm changed and get things ready for baby girl".

Fran said, "and I can keep Penelope company while you are working", he smiled and said, "thanks momma" she said, "anytime baby boy, anytime" as they all headed toward their cars. On the way back to casa Rossi Dave called Hotch and Reid and had them on a conference call and filled them in on what had happened, Hotch said, "are you sure that everybody is alright"?, he said, "yeah they're fine and they're going to be spending a few days at our place until they can get the alarm system changed and things handled".

Emily said, "poor PG, she's really been through a lot", JJ said, "maybe we should come over and see her"?, Dave said, "you guys are more than welcome to come over any time you want". Hotch said, "we'll see you later, we'll give them time to get there and get comfortable before we come over", Fran laughed and said, "how about I fix us a big dinner"?, JJ said, "you are going to spoil us Fran".

Fran smiled and said, "I think what everybody needs right now is some family time", Dave said, "I'll second that Bella", Reid said, "tell Garcia that we love her and that we'll be there soon". Dave said, "we will Reid" and after the call ended Fran said, "I don't know what Derek would have done if anything would have happened to Penelope today".

Dave reached over and took her by the hand and said, "I'm just glad that everybody is safe and sound", she sighed happily and said, "so am I Dave, so am I" and it wasn't long before they were pulling into the long driveway. Derek glanced over at Penelope and said, "are you sure that you're alright"?, she reached up and wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face and said, "I was so scared Derek".

He said, "so was I sweetness, I was so afraid that I'd lost you again", she weakly smiled and said, "I thought I'd lost you to", after turning the car off he turned to face her and cupped her face in his hands and said, "I love you baby girl and I will do anything it takes to keep you safe". She smiled as he leaned and pressed his lips against hers in a gentle kiss.
