Vacation Nightmare-Ch 15
When Hotch and Penelope pulled up at the hospital they saw police officers waiting at the entrance, they walked over and stopped in front of Penlope and one of them said, "I'm sorry mam but we can't allow you inside". Penelope said, "my husband and children are in there, my family is in there", another officer put his hand up and said, "mam we have orders to keep you away from a Derek, Melody and Jamie Morgan".
Hotch said, "I can straighten all of this up", the officer said, "until then she has to leave", Penelope said, "get the antidote upstairs and I'll go back to the hotel and wait". The officer said, "we will accompany you back to the hotel mam", Penelope said, "that isn't necessary", one of the officers said, "I'm afraid that it is mam, orders are orders".
Penelope threw up her hands in surrender as the officers put her in the police car to give her a ride back to the hotel, Hotch ran inside and over to the waiting doctor and handed her the antidote. She looked at him and said, "his vitals have been falling, where's his wife"?, Hotch said, "that's a long story", the doctor stepped into Dereks room and said, "I'll let you know something just as soon as I can".
Hotch walked over and joined the rest of the team and JJ said, "where's Penelope"?, he spent the next few minutes filling them in on the stunt Savannah and Terry had pulled. Emily said, "so until this is taken care of she can't see Derek or the kids"?, he shook his head and said, "afraid not but just as soon as we get word on Derek I am going to get the process started to get Penelope back where she belongs and that's with Derek and her children".
The doctor watched as she administered the antidote, all they could do now was wait, wait and see if the antidote would help, as she stood there looking down at him she wondered if the antidote was in time. Dave looked up to see Fran and the girls running into the hospital, Fran said, "how is he, how is my son"?,
Reid said, "the doctor just gave him the antidote, now all we can do is wait".
Fran looked around and said, "where's Penelope"?, Hotch said, "for right now she isn't allowed to see Derek or the kids", Fran put her hands on her hips and said, "and why not"?, Reid said, "Savannah forced her to sign papers stating that in order to get the antidote she would have to give up her rights to her kids and to Derek".
Sarah said, "and she signed them"?, Hotch said, "she did, she knew that her signing the papers was the only way that your brother could get the antidote, she knew without it he would die". Desiree said, "poor Penelope", Hotch said, "when we arrived back to the hospital there were officers waiting for us outside and they took her back to the hotel".
Fran said, "this is crazy, she is his wife and she is the momma to my two beautiful grandbabies", Hotch said, "just as soon as the antidote starts working I'm going to start the process to get the papers voided". Desiree said, "you can do that"?, he said, "I am going to do everything in my power to get the papers handled and get Penelope back with her husband and children".
Penelope opened the door to the room she shared with her husband and children and stepped inside, one of the officers said, "mam I am really sorry about what happened but we had orders and we had to do what we were told". She weakly smiled at the young officer and said, "it isn't your fault, I understand that you have a job to do".
Before turning to walk away he leaned in and whispered, "you didn't hear this from me but the side door on the first floor is unguarded and will be for the next couple of hours". Penelope smiled and said, "I didn't hear anything officer", he smiled and said, "I hope that you husband is going to be alright and that you get everything worked out".
She said, "thank you officer", he said, "please mam, call me Scott and this is my partner Adam", she said, "thank you both", the smiled and winked at her as they headed up the hall toward the elevator. She ran into the babies room and grabbed a few things and then called down front and asked for them to have a cab ready for her.
A few minutes later she was climbing into the cab, as she pulled away from the hotel she whispered, "please be alright handsome, please be alright", she then sighed knowing that she would soon be seeing her family again.
