Team Dynamics-Ch 18

The rest of the day flew by fast for Penelope and she couldn't get out of the building fast enough, on the way home she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "that woman looked so familiar but I can't put a name to the face". The rest of the ride to Emilys she spent thinking and wondering if any of the others knew who the woman was in the picture.

When she got to Emilys house she walked up to the front door and raised her hand to knock, when the door opened she saw Derek standing there smiling at her. She leaned in and kissed him and said, "today couldn't pass fast enough", he smiled and said, "tell me about it, I couldn't get you or last night out of my head".

They both jumped when JJ said, "and just what happened last night"?, Derek said, "are you sureeee you want to know"?, Penelope blushed and JJ laughed and said, "nope, I've changed my mind". Penelope said, "have you guys had any luck in figuring out who the woman and kids were in the picture"?, Emily nodded her head and said, "it's the directors wife and sons".

Derek said, "but why did they turn up on baby girls comuter"?, Hotch said, "that's what we were wondering to", Penelope said, "I was working on a file that my boss gave me and then pow their they were and I went in and talked to him and he told me that I needed to hand the file over to the BAU because that's what they did".

Reid said, "so we know that this woman is the directors wife and these are his twin sons but the questions are who has them and why"?, everybody nodded their heads in agreement. Dave said, "I think I'll pay Oliver a personal visit and see what I can get out of him", Hotch said, "I think I'll go with you", Dave said, "the more the merrier Aaron" as they walked toward the door.

Emily said, "we need to see what else we can dig up", Penelope said, "speaking of digging stuff up I was able to find out that for several hours Barnes seemed to disappear", everybody looked at her and Emily said, "what date was that PG"?, Penelope said, "2 weeks ago today". JJ looked at her and said, "that's the day that all of this started with her", Penelope nodded her head in agreement.

Emily looked at JJ and said, "in order for us to investigate this case you're going to have to go talk to Barnes, are you ready for that"?, JJ stood up and blew out a deep breath and said, "wish me luck" as she headed toward the door. A few minutes later she was standing in front of Barnes telling her about the case and when she saw the pictures of the directors wife and sons she said, "where did you get those"?, Emily said, "they popped up on Garcias computer today and her boss told her to pass it on to us".

Barnes sat there looking at her for a few minutes and said, "we have to be very delicate with this situation so no on the investigation", JJ leaned in and said, "if whoever has her kills her then their blood will be on your hands". She leaned forward and said, "I'm willing to take the risk", she then looked at JJ and said, "you're fired, turn in your badge and gun agent Jareau Reid".

JJ took her badge out and laid it and her gun on desk and turned around and walked out of the room, Barnes smiled and said, "2 down and more to come soon, very soon". JJ angrily walked toward the elevator and when she stepped on she dialed Emilys number and after a few rings Emily said, "what were you able to find out"?, JJ said, "she refused an investigation and she fired me".

Emily said, "oh Jayje I'm so sorry", JJ said, "don't be, Em listen to me the necklace that the directors wife is wearing in the pictures that were sent to Garcie today well guess who's wearing it"?, Emily said, "Barnes"?, JJ said, "you would be correct my friend". Meanwhile at the directors office Oliver looks up and smiles as he sees his old friend walking into his office.

Dave looked at Oliver and said, "is their something you want to tell me"?, he shook his head and said, "their is nothing I can tell you", Dave pulled his cell out and showed him the pictures of his wife and sons. Oliver took Daves cell and said, "how did you get those, when did you get those"?, Dave said, "those appeared on Penelopes computer at her new job earlier today".

Oliver ran his hand over his head and said, "Dave I need your help", Dave nodded his head and said, "just name it old friend", Oliver opened his mouth and started filling Dave in on everything that had happened over the past couple of weeks involving himself and Linda Barnes.
