Chap.6 Mrs Mary Caldwell
I don't know what has gotten into me today. I just feel like writing.
I don't own CM.
While Derek was outside, JJ before climbing on the police car called Hotch.
"Hotchner."
"Hotch, I… Derek is not crazy. I saw her."
"Who did you see JJ?"
"Penelope, she's with me right now. I… we found her."
"JJ calm down. Penelope is here? she's the woman Morgan had seen yesterday?"
"I guess so. Please Hotch warn the others she has amnesia, she didn't recognize me. She's married and pregnant….
"Well, we'll wait for you."
He shut his phone and saw the strange stares from Emily, Rossi and Reid.
"JJ had found Penelope." He said calmly even if his heart was pounding like mad.
"How? Emily said
"Derek was right… where is he? I need to talk to you."
"He's at the phone outside."
"Well, we'll wait some minutes."
As Derek was not returning Hotch informed the others about what JJ told him. They were all shaken by these news and worried about what Derek's reaction may be.
***************************************************************************
Derek didn't' know if it was a dream bur if it was, he didn't want to wake up. Penelope Garcia was walking towards the police station near JJ. He was going to jog towards them when he noticed Penelope left hand stroking her baby bump. He didn't miss the diamond that was circling her ring finger.
He couldn't pinpoint why suddenly his heart ached deeply.
***************************************************************************
JJ didn't miss Derek's sight that passed from joy to hurt. She quickly led Penelope or Mary Caldwell as she was called here, inside.
***************************************************************************
Mary decided that she liked Agent Jareau who while they were driving kept asking her questions about her health, her baby. She didn't know why but she felt safe with her, a feeling she hadn't felt for a long time, even with her husband.
Agent Jareau led her in an interrogatory room and brought her some water.
"Thank you."
"I'll come soon Mary. I need to see my boss."
She went into the room they had taken since their arrival. As soon as she closed the door she broke into tears. Emily hugged her tightly.
"I'm sorry it's just so…."
"Overwhelming…"
"Yeah."
She wiped her tears and sat down.
"I brought her in the interrogatory room. She didn't recognize me. She's married and very pregnant. What happened to her?"
"We'll discover it JJ."
"Hotch please, we have to go slowly. She seems so happy."
"I know…"
"Where's Morgan?"
JJ suddenly sat up.
"Oh my god! He was outside, he saw her, and he was…"
"Hurt." Reid said.
"Yes. Go to him please." JJ pleaded.
Hotch and Reid left the room, only to find Morgan watching at Penelope through the interrogatory room glass.
"What happened to her Hotch?" he asked, his voice only a whisper.
"I'm going to learn, Reid will update you about what we already know."
Hotch entered the room.
Reid put a hand on Derek's shoulder.
"Let's have a walk". He said.
"Yeah." Derek replied watching Penelope one last time.
