Part 8 (sorry this one is short, more to come soon)

Morgan called Penelope on the way home. He was glad the plane ride was just shy of an hour from we're they where.

"Your dime, my time, what's up?" Penelope said answering the phone.

"Oh... A new one?" He smiled.

"Hey handsome." She smiled.

"Hey baby girl."

"What can I do for you? Or to you?"

"Your silly and um... Later. Promise."

"Deal."

"Um, I'm on my way back, but can you um, meet me at the house, our new house in an hour?"

Penelope thought that was very weird. "Um, yeah. What's up? Not another surprise is it?"

"Something like that."

"I'll be there."

"I love you baby girl."

"Love you too."

They both hung up and did what little work that needed done. Derek had taken a cab straight there and was already talking to the cops when he saw Penelope pulling up. "Excuse me for just one moment." He said and walked over to her.

Penelope slowly got out of her car and walked over to him. "Please tell me this is my batchlerete party and they are all strippers!"

Derek shook his head. "Sorry, I can't do that."

She looked at him and then looked around. She was about to ask when a cop walked over to them.

"Mr. Morgan, would you mind coming to the back yard? We found something else."

He nodded his head and walked out back.

Penelope followed, trying to figure out what was going on, once she walked back there and over the the group of people. She looked down at the ground and her world came crashing down. Screaming, she turned and ran.

Derek didn't know she followed them all the way back there. He wanted to break it to her gently. He hurried after her. "Baby girl!" He said catching her.

She stopped when he grabbed her arm. She was breathing heavy now and couldn't talk right away.

"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't plan on this either. It's a skeleton, which means its been there for a long time. I am of course, being taken down to the station since I own the house. They think I'm involved or had something to do with it."

"But your FBI."

"Doesn't matter."

A cop walked over to them. "Excuse me sir, but I have to take you in now." He said as he pulled out his handcuffs.

"Do I really have to wear those?" He asked.

"Yes. Sorry." He said putting them on.

Penelope leaned over and kissed him. "I'll get the team on it, just hang in there handsome."

Derek returned the kiss and nodded his head as he was taken and put into the back of the cop car.

Penelope just stood there, not sure what to do. How could she solve this. She wished her team was here. As she stood on the side yard, she glanced back at everyone. She took a deep breath and walked back there. "This body needs to be sent to Quantico for testing ASAP. Then I need the results." She said holding her badge up. She hoped they couldn't see that it was just a technician badge and not an agent badge.
