Old Friends-Ch 11
Hotch stood there stunned, he was looking around the room and wondering how they were able to slip her out of the hospital without him seeing them with her. A few minutes later the team led by Derek came running into the room, Derek crossed the room in seconds, he had to see if he could find a clue to where that sick bastard had taken his baby girl.
Reid looked around and said, "they are very well prepared, they took Garcia right out from under our noses", Hotch looked at Derek and said, "what did he say to you on the phone"?, Derek took a deep breath and said, "he said good luck finding them now that they had our ace in the hole". Rossi walked around the room and found something kicked up under the end of the table.
He pulled the pen out of his pocket and leaned over and picked it up out of the floor and held it up, Derek felt his heart drop when he realized that what Rossi was holding was Pens bracelet. Rossi looked at Derek and said, "do you recognize this bracelet"?, he nodded his head and said, yeah I gave it to Pen last week for our 6 month anniversary". The team smiled and said,"wait, what did you just say"?, Derek halfheartedly smiled and said, "we finally got things right and now I've lost her.
JJ walked over and wrapped her arms around him and said, "we will get her back Derek", he wiped away a stray tear and said, "I would be lost without her Jayje". She smiled as she patted his back and said, "she loves you with all her heart, she has for a long long time", he smiled and said, "I have loved her since the first time I called her baby girl by mistake".
Reid was walking back and forth across the room, there was something nagging at him and he couldn't quite put his finger on it, Hotch looked at him and said, "what is it Reid"?, he bit down on his bottom lip and said, "it was their plan to take her all along, but what I can't figure out was how did they manage to get her out of here without running into you in the hallway"?, Hotch walked across the room and opened the other door, he stepped out into the hall and saw a door at the end of the hall.
He looked at the team and said, "there is a door at the end of the hall, they have had to take her that way", the teamHe g followed Hotch down the hall and they all stopped at the door. They all pulled their guns and Derek twisted the knob and mouthed the words, "it's locked", he motioned for them to stand back.
He raised his leg and using the anger that was filling him he kicked the door open and it banged against the wall, he then walked inside and saw a set of stairs. Hotch looked at the team and said, "Derek you and Reid go up, the rest of us will go down and if we see anything immediately let the other team know".
Pen slowly opens her eyes and sets up and looks around the room, she is in a huge room, she tries to get up but her legs are to wobbly, she grabs her head and says, "what the hell did you freaks give me"?, she looked around when she heard the door open, a man walked inside and smiled at her and said, "I didn't give you anything that would hurt you Penelope".
She looked at him and said, "ho how do you know my name"?, he grins and says, "I know alot about you and your team", he sat down on the bed beside her and tried to touch her, she scooted over and said, "don't touch me". He laughed and said, touchy, touchy, now would you be saying that if it were Derek trying to touch you"?, she didn't answer, she just stared at him.
He got up and said, "I'm not gonna hurt you Penelope, we just need to keep you away from your team". she tried to stand up and fell back down onto the bed. Chad said, "your precious team won't find you", she laughed and said, "well you don't know my team as good as I do and belive me they will find me". He headed out the door saying, "we will see, we will see".
Pen sits back on the bed and closes her eyes and whispers, "please find me Derek, please find me", she rested her back against the headboard of the bed and closed her eyes and prayed that her team was alright. Hotch looked up at Derek as he paced back and forth across the room, Rossi leaned in and said, "damn Hotch he is like a caged animal", Hotch put his hand on Rossi's shoulder and said, "he is a man in love and without her he is totally lost".
Reid was looking at the notes he took from earlier and said, "for them to be able to sneak Garcia out of here, one or more of them must work here or are very well acquainted with this place". Hotch looked up and said, "Emily and Jack could be in even more danger now", Rossi opened his mouth to suggest extra security when there was a knock on the door.
The team turned around to see Emilys doctor standing there, Hotch met him half way and said, "what's wrong"?, he put his hand on Hotchs shoulder and said, "it's Ms. Prentiss, she's waking up".
