Do I Know You-Ch 5
Derek stepped closer and said, "baby girl it's me", Mandy stepped back and put her hand up and said, "I'm sorry but my name is Mandy, it's Mandy, Mandy Smith". Dave put his hand in front of Derek and said, "Mrs. Smith my name is David Rossi and this is Derek Morgan and we are with the FBI and we are looking for Thomas".
She smiled at them and said, "ohhhh I'm sorry but my husband isn't here right now, he had a few errands to do but he will be back soon, you are more than welcome to wait for him". Dave smiled and said, "thank you" as she motioned for them to come inside, Derek watched just to make sure that what he was seeing was real, for the first time in 4 years he is looking at his baby girl.
They walked into the living room and sat down on the couch and Mandy said, "what do you need to talk to my husband about"?, Derek balled his hand up into a fist at hearing his baby girl call another man her husband. Dave said, "we understand that your husband repairs computers", she nodded her head and said, "yes that's correct".
Rossi said, "does he travel a lot for his job"?, she said, "as a matter of fact he does, some weeks he is gone 4 or 5 days out of a week but what does that have to do with anything"?, Derek just sat there staring at Penelope, sure she had dark hair and had lost some weight but it was definitely her and all he wanted to do was hold her in his arms and kiss her beautiful lips.
Dave said, "we think that you husband is taking women from several different states and kidnapping them and drugging them and keeping them until they give him a child and then he is erasing their memories and letting them go". She stood up and said, "Thomas would never do that", Derek stood up and said, "Mandy do you and your husband have any kids"?, she crossed her arms and said, "what does that have to do with anything"?, Derekave her his Derek Morgan smile and said, "because the man that kidnapped those women kept the babies when he let the women go".
Mandy opened her mouth to say something when crying could be heard through the baby monitor, she said, "excuse me one of the babies needs me", they watched her as she walked up the stairs. Derek said, "we need to go up there and see the baby, I have to know if that son of a bitch had a baby with my baby girl". They took the steps two at a time and were soon standing in the nursery looking down at babies, Derek swallowed hard and said, "are any of these babies your biological children"?, she shook her head and said, "no, we adopted them". Dave said, "you adopted all three of them"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes".
Dave said, "how long ago did you adopt them"?, Mandy opened her mouth to tell them when they heard the front door slam shut, Thomas said, "Mandy who's car is that out front"?, Dave and Derek walked down the stairs behind Penelope and when Thomas saw Derek he knew that he had been caught but he decided to stay and see just how much they really knew.
He walked over and kissed his wife on the lips gently and said, "is something wrong Mandy"?, she said, "honey these are agents David Rossi and Derek Morgan and they need to ask you some questions". He looked up at them and said, "questions, about what"?, Dave put his hand on his gun and said, "I think you know what we want to talk to you about Thomas".
Thomas smiled and said, "yes I do agents, yes I do", Mandy looked at him and said, "Thomas what is this about, please tell me that what they are saying isn't true, please tell me that you haven't been kidnapping women and drugging them and keeping them until they give you a child". Thomas looked up at her and said, "I can't do that honey, everything they said is true".
She took a few steps back and said, "how could you do that to those poor women"?, Derek looked at Penelope and said, "why don't you go up and get the babies ready to go while we finish talking to Thomas". She took a deep breath and headed back up stairs to get the other babies ready for a trip to town.
Thomas waited until Penelope was out of sight and said, "I bet you want to know why I took her don't you"?, Derek stepped forward wanting to knock him on his ass and Rossi pulled him back and said, "we need to hear what he has to say". Thomas crossed his legs and said, "The first time I saw her she took my breath away and I knew from that first minute that I had to have her and have her I did".
