Penelope Garcia had to deal with Penny's questions and her randomly bursting into song for the rest of the flight. Garcia wondered for the thousandth time how Penny had been quiet enough to sneak on with nobody noticing. Garcia played along with every one of the little girls whims she even sang with her, though the constant questions annoyed her a bit Garcia was having fun that is until she remembered that Penny had no family and would be put into the system.

When they landed police caption Laos Stansin awaited them.

"Good flight?" Stansin asked in his gruff voice, extending his hand to shake Hotch's.

"It was fun!" Penny exclaimed jumping up and down "the plane went whoosh and sheennn"

Morgan laughed when Penny tried to imitate plane sounds.

Caption Stansin furrowed his large brow "I didn't know you were bringing the child"

"I'm not 'child' I'm Penny Garcia!"

Everyone was surprised by Penny's announcement "what?" Penny asked fidgeting under everybody's gaze.

Garcia tried holding in her laughter but failed miserably she started laughing and she wasn't the only one Morgan soon followed suit and then everyone was laughing.

Reid was the first to stop; he cleared his throat "this is Penny Hander. She has a tendency to forget details involving the case so we brought her along in case she remembers something of importance" Reid said only giving Stansin half the truth.

"I don't want to be a Hander I want to be a Garcia you're awesome!" Penny complained as Garcia led her toward a waiting car.

Garcia smiled "Okay for today you can be an honorary 'Garcia'"

"Yeah!…what does 'honorary' mean?"


The Unsub had seen it on the news his angel had somehow ended up in Virginia and the BAU was sending a unit here to find him and his angels. He had been on his way to bless another girl with the gift of becoming one of his angels when he had seen it on the news the reporter lady was telling all not to fear the FBI were sending a special team. Now he waited at the airport for this 'special' team. There he didn't just see the BAU's team he saw his angel. He smiled his angel stood glued to the side of a strangely dressed woman.

The Unsub moved closer trying to get a better look at his little angel maybe he'll take back his little disobedient angel.


Derek Morgan relaxed in his hotel room looking at case pictures and re-looking. After they had landed Hotch had sent him and Rossi to check out the crime scene, Penny's parents had been murdered in a fit of rage heads caved in. He picked up a picture of the little girl smiling as she always did with the brightness of the sun.

Morgan's chest started to ache as he remembered how Garcia and Penny had looked holding hands at the airport they looked like a family; a family he wished to be a part of. He had had similar thoughts on the plane before they left Penny had hugged his baby girl so tightly and with such sadness in her eyes he had the same feeling then as he did now: longing. He wished to love and protect Penelope and Penny as a husband and a father but he knew just knew Garcia didn't see him that way they were best friends and nothing more to her. Morgan laughed at himself for thinking in such a cheesy way.

Just then an ear splitting scream ripped through the hotel. Morgan was on his feet in less than a second his mind immediately went to Penelope and Penny; were they save? If not could he get to them fast enough?

He grabbed his gun exited his room then stealthily made his way toward Garcia's room. Fear filled him as he realized the scream had come from her room.

"Penelope open the door!" He yelled banging on said door.

Penny opened it stepping back to let him in "she won't tell me what it says"

"What 'what' says?!" He asked rushing in to find Penelope holding a pristine white letter in her hands.

"That" penny said pointing "Ms. Penelope's face turned all white when she opened it"

"Penelope" Morgan whispered walking closer to her "what does it say"

Garcia took a deep breath "it says 'my angel you fly higher than others you are truly not of clay as humans are I will come for you my angel so you may fly'" she tried to laugh but it came out shaky "silly right"

Morgan retched out took his baby girl into his arms he held her tightly.

Penny raised her hand like she was in a classroom "Mr. Derek"

"Yes?"

"The man who took me said the same things to me well, almost the same" penny frowned "that's not good is it?"
