Old Friends-Ch 13

Derek impatiently watched over Bens shoulder as he had to redo all of Pens previous work, he was no where as good or fast as his baby girl but he hoped that he would soon be able to find some clues that would help him get his goddess back. Hotch took a deep breath as he stood outside the window and watched as the doctors were finishing with their examinations.

The doctor smiled as he finished his exam and said, "you are doing very good Ms. Prentiss", she smiled and said, "please call me Emily", he grinned and said, "you are doing very good Emily". She turned her head to the side to glance over at Jack and said, "what about Jack, how is he doing"?, "is he gonna be alright"?, the doctor smiled and said, "the insertion of the tube relieved the pressure and fluid around his brain and he is still weak but doing better".

Emily took a deep breath and said, "thank you for everything", he nodded and said, "your welcome Ms., I mean Emily", the doctors then both walked out of the room. In a matter of seconds the team minus Derek made their way to the bedsides of Emily and Jack, Reid and JJ headed over to see Emily while Hotch and Rossi sat down beside Jack.

Hotch put Jacks small hand in his and said, "hey buddy, how do you feel"?, he opened his eyes and said, "I'm tired and I hurt daddy, I hurt bad", he brought Jacks hand up to his lips and kissed it and said, "they gave you something for pain in your IV and it will kick in soon". Rossi said, "hey kiddo", Jack said, "hi Uncle Dave are you taking good care of my daddy while I can't"?, he smiled and said, "you bet slugger, I'm taking very very good care of your dad", Jack smiled and said, "sleepy daddy, I'm getting so sleepy", Hotch said, "that is the medicine working buddy, why don't you take a nap and I promise I will be here when you wake up", he smiled and said, "you promise"?, he laughed and said, "yeah I promise, Jack then closed his eyes and almost instantly fell asleep.

Hotch leaned down and kissed his sons forehead and whispered, "daddy loves you Jack now and always", he then heads over to join the rest of the team around Emilys bed. Emily smiled and said, "how is Jack doing", he smiled and said, "he is in alot of pain but right now he is resting", she smiled as he moved closer to her bed.

Rossi got the attention of JJ and Reid and nodded and the three of them slowly made their way out into the hall, once in the hall Reid said, "I wonder if Ben is making any progress in finding Garcia"?, Rossi put his hand on Reids shoulder and said, "if he isn't I wouldn't want to be in his shoes", JJ nodded her head in agreement and said, "it took them so long to get together and now he is broken without her".

Rossi looked at the two younger agents and said, "you don't have to worry about kitten, she is gonna be just fine", Reid and JJ nodded in agreement as they joined Derek and Ben in the conference room. Derek looked over his shoulder and saw his team come in, he said, "how are Em and Jack doing"?,
Hotch walked over and said, "they are both doing better.

Derek smiled and said, "that's good, now we need to get my baby girl back", Hotch put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said,"we will Derek, that I can promise you". Derek looked at him and said, "have you told her that you love her yet"?, he just stood there with his mouth open and said, "how did you know that I was in love with Emily"?, Derek gave him a look and said, "duh man I'm a profiler just like you, remember and besides I know a man in love when I see one".

Bens fingers flew across the keyboard and he suddenly said, "Agent Morgan, I think I have found something", Derek and the rest of the team headed over to him to listen to what he had found. Ben pulled up files on the screen and said, "this one is James Scott AKA Thomas Kine AKA Randall Tank and finally his real name thanks to me digging deeper than I thought I could, his real name is Chad Doyle".

Hotch walked closer and said, "what about family members"?, Ben said, "he has a couple of brothers one of which was Ian Doyle, Reid said, "Ian Doyle I remember reading about him, the FBI killed him back like 5 or 6 years ago". Derek said, "I'll be back I need to talk to Emily about something", the team nodded as he walked out of the room.

When Derek walked into the room he smiled as he saw Jack sleeping peacefully, he walked gently passed him and over to Emilys bedside, he sat down and she smiled and said, "what's up Derek, do we have any leads on who might have Pen"?, he took a deep breath and said, "yeah, one of the men that is holding her is Chad Doyle, the brother to Ian Doyle". Emily froze and said, "I I Ian Doyle"?, Derek nodded his head and said, "I need you to tell me everything you know about him".

Emily swallowed hard and said, "I don't know if I can tell you anything Derek", he put Emilys hand in his and said, "please Em, if we have any chance of getting Pen back I need to know all about him". Emily took a deep breath and motioned for Derek to come closer, when he was as close as he could get she whispered, "Ian Doyle is Jacks biological father".
