Chapter 2:

Garcia continued to hold him close to her for the next several minutes she could feel the tension of his anger and concern through out the muscle of his back as she rubbed her and soothingly up and down. She did all of this without saying a word until he repeated his earlier vow again.

Pushing him back just far enough so she could look him in the eyes she then spoke softly, "As much as I would like to help you get your hands on the bastard or bastards that did this, your sister doesn't need Derek Morgan the Bad Ass FBI agent she needs her brother, her protector okay?"

"I know baby girl, but…" He started to argue.

"No buts about now you are going to go for a run or a workout whatever it takes to get out some of that anger, ok, handsome" She interrupted, "I meanwhile will book us both seats on the first flight available and inform the team there are going to have to do with the dynamic duo that is us for a bit."

He nodded before saying, "You don't have to go, don't you sweetness?"

Garcia just shook her head, "Yes I do love, just like I had come here when Des asked me to you need me, your family needs me and so you will have me."

"You're a goddess you know that," He said kissing her on the forehead before getting up to change for a run.

Moments later Garcia already had his laptop out and was busy on it as he headed out to just what she had ordered him to do.

While he was gone she booked them on a flight that left out of D.C. at 5am. It was 11:30pm now so they had plenty of time to make that flight. Once the tickets were booked she dialed Hotch's number.

"If you need anything call,' Was what he ordered after giving them each up two weeks off once she'd explained to him the situation.

"Will do, boss man," She'd agreed just before a now sweaty Morgan arrived back,

"Feel better," She asked.

"Not really, did Des call while I was gone," He replied.

"Nope I figured once you showered and were ready we could give her call on the way back to my place," She answered, "Once we do that we'll just head straight to the airport our flight leaves at five."

"Sounds like a plan and Sweetness thank you once again I don't what I'd do without you right now," He agreed before making his way to his shower.

Two hours later…

They were well on their way to the airport when Morgan's cell phone rang. He quickly put it on speaker because he was driving before saying, "Any news Des?"

"Yeah bro we just spoke with the doctor," Des answered. "She was stabbed a total of four times. Twice in the chest and once in the abdomen."

"And the other one," Morgan prompted when he heard her pause.

"The bastard tried to slash her throat but she fought him off, guess those self defense classes you made us take paid off a little bit. Anyways that's the shallowest of her wounds so they were just able to stitch that one up, the one to her stomach was the worst they had to go in and stop the bleeding," Des went onto say, "she should be out of surgery soon."

"Okay, sweetie," Garcia replied as she watched Morgan soak up all the information. His anger was back she could tell so with that in mind she reached over and squeezed his hand as she continued talking to Des, "It's almost 2am now and we're on our way to the airport."

"What time does your flight get in," Des asked.

"We should be landing a little after 6am your time," Garcia answered, "Hang in there alright."

"Will do, I'll pick you guys up," Des replied back.

"You don't have to that we can rent a car," Garcia insisted as Morgan pulled into the airport's parking lot.

"Sorry Mom's insisting on it, so I'll be there," Des argued.

"Alright then we're at the airport now so I guess we'll see you in a bit," Garcia and Morgan both agreed before saying good bye.

Once they were inside the airport they checked in and grabbed their boarding passes before settled down with coffee to wait for their flight.

"You hanging in there, handsome," Garcia asked after a few minutes because Morgan wasn't saying a whole lot.

"I'll be better once we are there and I can do something," He answered before taking another drink of his coffee.

She nodded knowing full well what he met. The two of them remained their talking and drinking coffee until they heard their flight being called over the intercom.
