Hunted-Ch 18

Derek and Hotch walked into the clerks office and he smiled and said, "here you go Aaron", he said, "thank you so much", he said, "anything to help you out", Derek couldn't help but smile as he looked down at the paper knowing that soon everything he had ever wanted was going to be his. He was pulled from his thoughts when he heard the clerk and Hotch talking about what had happened at the jail.

Hotch said, "when did that happen"?, he said, "not long ago, maybe 15 to 20 minutes", Derek said, "wait, you mean somebody got into both cells and stabbed both of the brothers"?, he nodded his head and said, "yeah". Hotch said, "any idea who it was"?, he said, "none and to make matters worse our survelience cameras all went down in that area for a few minutes".

Hotch said, "so whoever it was wanted to make sure to get their job done without being caught", the clerk nodded his head and said, "exactly", he then looked at Derek and said, "I'm so sorry to hear what you and your fiancee went through". Derek said, "thank you but now that the brothers are all taken care of we can stop thinking about that and focus on living our lives".

The clerk said, "and congratulations on your wedding", Derek looked down at his watch and said, "speaking of we better get going or we're going to be late and I can't be late for my own wedding". Hotch laughed and said, "thanks again", he said, "anytime now get that man to his bride" all three men laughed as Derek and Hotch headed out into the hall.

Dave was standing and talking to Reid when his cell started ringing, he said, "excuse me kid, I need to take this", Reid grinned and said, "sure Rossi" and he turned around and walked toward the door. Once he stepped outside he said, "hello", the voice on the other end said, "mission completed", Dave grinned and said, "and a job well done".

The man laughed and said, "you know who to call if you need anything", Dave said, "I sure do and uhhh tell Mario that I said I owe him one", the man took a deep breath and smiled and said, "will do". After the call ended Dave put his cell on vibrate and put it in his pocket as he walked back over to join a very nervous groom who was pacing back and forth.

JJ and Emily watched as Fran put the finishing touches on Penelopes hair, JJ said, "you look beautiful Garcie", she said, "thank you girlie", Emily said, "soooooo are ya nervous"?, she said, "yeppers that would be a definitely yesssss". Fran said, "honey nerves are normal on your wedding day", she said, "everything is happening so fast, I mean 3 days ago Derek and I were best friends and now here today we're getting married, do you think that we are rushing this to fast"?, all three women in unison said, "NOOOOOOOO".

Penelope laughed and said, "I've been in love with Derek since the first day I met him and now knowing that he's finally mine it's, well it's just amazing to know that all of my dreams are finally coming true". Fran put her hand on Penelopes shoulder and said, "and it makes me so happy to see that my son has finally found the one woman that completes him in every way".

JJ said, "I've never seen Morgan so happy", Emily said, "me either, it's soooo obvious that the two of you are perfect together", Penelope said, "please don't make me cry". Their conversation was ended when there was a knock at the door, JJ said, "come in", the door opened to reveal Hotch and Dave", Penelope said, "I know that look bossman".

Hotch said, "we have some news", she said, "wh wh what's wrong"?, he said, "when Morgan and I were picking up the liscense the clerk was filling us in on something that had happened at the jail earlier". She nodded her head and listened as he said, "it seems that several men got into both cells and stabbed the brothers to death and then quickly made their escape".

Penelope said, "any idea who it was, did they get anything on the survelience cameras"?, he said, "no on both parts", she said, "no", he said, "a few minutes before the men walked into the cells the cameras went down and then after both brothers were taken care of the cameras started working again". Dave looked at Penelope and said, "are you alright kitten"?, she sat there looking up at him nodding her head yes.

JJ said, "Garcie are you sure you're alright"?, she smiled and said, "it's over, it's finally over", Hotch said, "so are you ready to make an honest man of Morgan"?
she laughed and said, "more than ready bossman, more than ready". The girls hugged Penelope and said, "we'll see you out front", she nodded her head and said, "thanks again for everything you've done".

They smiled and said in unison "YOU'RE WELCOME" as they walked out of the room, Fran hugged her future daughter in law and said, "you look so beautiful and my son isn't going to be able to keep his eyes off of you". She smiled and said, "you are an amazing woman Fran Morgan Rossi", she winked and said, "it takes one to know one Penelope Garcia".

Fran kissed her husband and said, "I love you Mr. Rossi", he grinned and said, "and I love you Mrs. Rossi", he then watched as his wife opened the door and disappeared into the hall. Dave said, "are you sure that you're going to be okay on those crutches"?, she said, "I'm a little wobbily but I'm good", he kissed her cheek and said,
"and I'll be right here beside you just in case you need someone to balance you".

She smiled and said, "thank you for everything you've done Dave", he said, "anything for you kitten, anything for you" as they made their way closer and closer to the rest of the wedding party.
