Chap.27 Nervous
I'm glad you're still enjoying this AU. Keep reviewing!
Penelope straightened her shirt before following Derek in the FBI building.
She looked one more time her reflection in the mirror inside the elevators.
"Don't worry, they'll like you. It's just a meeting... you got the job."
"I... I just don't want people to pity me, I have a cane and I want to look well."
"You look better than well." He said looking at her appreciatively.
"Compliment will lead you everywhere, derek." She said with a smile.
He smiled at her just before the doors opened.
"Let's go."
He led her to the Director's office and promise to wait for her.
Penelope looked at him one more time before netering the office.
Derek sat quietly waiting for Penelope. He was reallly happy to have her here. She had just arrived the past day and was staying two more days before going back inChicago. She still had things to deal with bach there before moving for good in DC.
He had assured her that she couls stay at his place when she would begin the job but she really wanted to have her own place before moving.
That night he had planned to introduce her to the eam. He knew that JJ and Emily were already really curious to meet her.
He waas in his own world so he didn't noticed Hotch staring at him.
"Morgan what are you doing heere?"
"Hem... Just waiting for a friend."
Hotch raised an eyebrow. He had heard from the girl a story about Derek's new friend.
"I have a meeting with the Director... he wants to assign the team a tecnical analyst."
Derek smiled broadly. This was getting better and better for him.
"Agent Morgan thinks very high of you." The Dirctor said to Penelope.
She nodded and smiled lightly.
"I don't eat you know... I just wante dto meet you.... if you accep the job offer you'll be dedicated to the BAU where Agent Morgan work.... his Boss Agent hotchner will b here in a few. Then we'll go to the tech pool. I just want to see you working with our computers."
"Sure."
"You must know that the job can be hard... you'll have to dig informations, look at pictures... hard pictures."
"Der... Agent Morgan told me." She said.
"You two aren't involved, are you? Agent Morgan told me no but he was very insistent in getting the job for you that I thought..."
"NO! We're just friends."
"Good. You know frat rules..."
Penelope nodded. Then a all dark haired man entered the room.
"Agent Aaron Hotchner...Penlope Garcia...she will be your new TA if she accepts the job that is."
"Nice to meet you." Hotch said extending his hand to Penelope.
Penelope got up with the help of the cane and smiled a him.
"Nice to mee you."
"Well MS garcia, let's go to the tech pool."
Penelope followed them outisde, derek got up immediately.
"Good morning Agent Morgan. Your friend is in good hands you can go back to work.
"Sure sir."
Derek smiled at her.
"I'll lead her to the bullpen later Morgan."
"Ok Hotch."
Penelope was amazed the room full of computers; she looked in awe at the people typing furiously on their keybords while talking on the phone
She run some searches she was asked for. When she was done she turned back with the information and smiled.
"Here it is Sir." She said proudly.
"How could you found these so quickly... the techs I work with are not as fast."
Penelope shrugged.
"I improved my skills during my recovery time." She stated simply.
"Well Ms Garcia, the job is for you."
Penelope smiled all nervousness gone.
"Well TA Garcia.... you have a contract to sign and some new people to meet." The Director added.
She got up and followed them back at the Director's office.
