A Welcomed Surprise-Ch 20
About an hour later everybody was walking out of casa Morgan and heading toward their cars, as they pulled away from the curb Penelope sent up a silent prayer that they would soon get to come back home again. Derek glanced through his mirror and saw Mia playing with Clooney and Mudgie and having a blast.
Derek looked at Penelope and said, "I'm glad that she doesn't understand what's going on", Penelope reached over and intertwined their fingers and said, "me to hotstuff, me to". Penelope said, "I had a little talk with Mia when we were upstairs getting her things packed", he said, "you did"?, she said, "sure did".
Derek said, "what was the talk about"?, Penelope said, "I told her what to do if somebody she didn't know tried to get her", he listened as she said, "I told her to scream fire and to scream it loud". Derek said, "and she'll do it to", Penelope said, "ohhhh yeah she'll do it but I'm hoping that it won't come to that", Derek brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it and said, "me to sweetness, me to".
Meanwhile at Zachary Fields office he sits back in his chair and props his feet up and looks at his goons and says, "so any idea where my niece is"?, one stepped forward and said, "she's being adopted sir". Zachary leaned forward and said, "adopted, ohhhh no that won't do, she's got to be eliminated, she's the last person standing between me and my brothers millions".
The goon said, "if she's adopted won't that put the money yours anyway but default"?, he shook his head and said, "no I checked on that, as long as she's alive my brothers money will go to her". Zach then tapped his chin with his finger and said, "do we know who's adopting her"?, the goon pulled his notepad out of his pocket and said, "a Penelope Garcia, she's a data analyst with the FBI".
Zach said, "FBI"?, he said, "yes sir", he said, "I still have to take care of her because she saw me, she saw me and I almost had my hands on her when that car stopped and the woman got out and held her until the police came". The goon said, "what do you want us to do sir"?, he said, "we need to find out where this Penelope Garcia is and take care of her and my niece".
Another goon stepped forward and said, "but sir you'll be messing with the feds", Zach said, "so, do you have any idea how many millions of dollars are at stake here"?, he shook his head and said, "sorry sir, sorry". Zach said, "I don't care how many feds we have to take out I want Penelope Garcia and my little niece taken care of, am I understood"?, all of his associates said, "YES SIR" in unison before turning around and heading out of the room to see what they could find out about Penelope and Mia.
Derek and Penelopes car was in the middle of the line, Hotch thought it would be a good idea to hide them in the middle, Derek sighed and said, "we'll be there soon baby girl and then Mia, Jack and Henry can play with Clooney and Mudgie". Penelope said, "she's so sweet and innocent Derek, why would anybody want to hurt her"?, Derek said, "I'd say it's to get Mias money".
Penelope said, "money, what money, she's 3 years old"?, he said, "well the money I'm talking about belongs to her parents and at their death everything went to her so I'd say that her uncle is next in line after her to get the money". She said, "what kind of sick freak is gonna try to hurt a little girl to get money"?, he said, "it's sad I know but I'd say that's his motive, money".
She laid her head back against the seat and said, "nobody is gonna hurt our daughter, I don't care what I have to do", Derek gently squeezed her hand and said, "I couldn't have said it better baby". She glanced over her shoulder and saw that Mia was now sleeping peacefully with Mudgie and Clooney laying beside her on the seat", Derek said, "no matter what we have to do she will be safe".
Penelope scooted closer and laid her head on his shoulder and said, "I love you and I love our family", Derek kissed the top of her head and said, "and I love you and so does our family". She stayed beside her hotstuff until they pulled up in front of the huge house about half an hour later, when they got out of the car she said, "wowwwwwww, this place is huge, huge and beautiful".
Derek got Mia out of the car and said, "just wait till you see inside", Penelope took Mia by the hand and said, "come on baby girl let's go look at our room", she giggled and said, "kayyyyyyy" as they headed into the house. The inside was even more beautiful than she could have imagined, everything looked amazing, Dave had really outdone himself on that cabin.
Dave stepped into the living room and said, "take your pick on the room guys", Derek said, "you can pick our room sweetness"?, she said, "is it alright if we share a room with Mia"?, he kissed her gently on the lips and said, "of course it is". She smiled and said, "I knew their was a reason I loved you", he leaned in and said, "and here I thought you were after me for my body".
She laughed and said, "ohhhhh trust me I am, I am" causing him to laugh as he headed back outside to bring in the rest of their things
