Chap 8. Who are you for me?

I have decided to not let you without knowing….

**************************************************************************

Meanwhile in the interrogatory room

« So you mean that I may be That Penelope Garcia, how is that possible? »

"No, I meant that you are Penelope Garcia, we're certain of that."

"You're mistaken Agent Hotchner" she said with a frown. " My name is Mary Caldwell I'm married with the Dr John Caldwell for 2 years now and I'm 5 months pregnant, I CAN'T be THAT woman!"

"Penelope…"

"My name is Mary!" she said with tears threatening to fall.

"Mary, I tried to talk to you gently but now I have to know what is going on with you!"

"What do you mean?"

"You don't remember us, the team, we were family… you disappeared 3 years ago. You went on holidays in France. That was the last time we saw you…."

" 3 years ago… no that's not possible…." She said taking her head in her hands.

"Penelope… Mary…"

"No no no… I need to call my husband…"

"We have to talk before. Please…"

Hearing his pleading voice she looked at him.

"Well what do you need to know maybe that will prove you that you're wrong."

"Where were you three years ago around the same period?"

"I was in France. I woke up from a coma with amnesia. My husband who was now my fiancé told me I had an accident…I didn't remember anything from my past. When I recovered my husband and I flew to Florida. "

"You didn't feel something weird with him, his behaviour... something?"

"No. He was all protective but it was normal I guess… he treated me like a princess…"

"Ok, I don't know what to say. There's something I don't catch in your story…

"Can I leave now? I was cooking when JJ came to my house."

She didn't miss the surprised look from Agent Hotchner.

"What?"

"You called Agent Jareau, JJ, that's how we all called her. Did she tell you?"

"No… no. It's strange I have the impression that we could be friend…"

"She was… is your best friend…"

"Sorry Sir but I have to go now… all your story is too strange. Why would my husband lie to me? It's crazy!" she got up and walked toward the door.

"Please, just one thing. Maybe if you meet the others members of my team you'll remember something."

"Maybe… agent Hotchner could I be the one who talk to my husband?"

"If he's guilty, it could be dangerous…"

"He would never do me any harm and I'm pregnant with his child."

"Do you believe me now?"

"I… When we came back from France my husband kept giving me some pills, he said it was for my brain. Now that I'm pregnant, I don't take them anymore and I have some bad nightmares."

"Care to share?"

"I dreamt about computers, gunshots, pictures…"

"You were our Technical analyst…"

She began to cry…

"I'm sorry but I realize that you may be right. What has he done to me?"

Hotch stepped to hug her.

"It will be ok. We'll sort things out together. We're your family."

"John is too…" she replied sadly.

"Do you love him? Are you in love with him?"

"Yes I suppose. I care for him deeply. And he took such a good care of me…"

"But your heart is not completely in it…"

"Yes… well let's go meet them." She said trying to smile but miserably failing.

***************************************************************************Rossi, Emily and JJ were still in the room when Reid and Derek entered. Derek immediately sat in the far corner of the room intending to come to terms with what everyone kept telling him: his feelings towards Penelope.

Hotch suddenly entered immediately followed by Penelope.

"Well let me introduce you Mrs Mary Caldwell or should I say Penelope Garcia."

Penelope stared intently at each one in the room immediately feeling comfortable.

Her eyes met dark brown ones full of joy and sadness at the same time. Suddenly pictures flood in her mind: A purple room, her, the handsome black man. "I love you, you know that right?"

What seemed to be a memory quickly disappeared and she asked staring at him.

"Who are you for me?"

Sorry!
