Note- Tonight I watched the season two finale and I've felt like it was a good episode to base a Morgan and Garcia story about. Am I the only one who thought there was something left out of this episode? Let me know if you ever had that thought too.

This fic is based on No Way Out 2: The Evilution of Frank.

Crazy For The Girl

May 2007

"You did what, Hotch?" Derek asked, his tone sharp as they stood in the hallway outside of the interrogation room.

"I sent Garcia to take Gideon his files. He needed them-"

"How could you do that, man?" Derek felt so betrayed that he could barely look at Hotch. "What if Frank catches up to them? He wants to go after Gideon. He's already killed more than once tonight! You put Garcia in the middle of a situation you know damn well that she can't handle! She don't have a gun, Hotch, and she don't have any way to protect herself against this bastard."

"Frank is going after Gideon's list."

"For now! What if his m.o. changes? What if he finds Gideon? Then what, man, huh? Where are they?"

"I can't tell you that."

Giving him a shocked looked Derek took out his phone and dialed.

Hotch said "You need to keep your head about you right now. Gideon's life depends on it."

"And now, thanks to you, so does Garcia's!" A moment later he was storming toward the elevator as he said into the phone "Baby girl, where are you?"

"Morgan!" Hotch called after him but Derek ignored him.

After Derek was on the elevator he looked up and saw Hotch coming out of the BAU. Hotch said "We need your help tonight."

"You should have thought of that before you put Garcia in danger. Its not a question what I gotta do and if you don't know that then you don't know me."

The elevator doors slid close.

Penelope was having one crazy night. It started with her on a hot date with the hottie from Counter Terrorism. Everything was going awesome and then her job interrupted the whole thing before they got past first base. And he had been rounding the bases rapidly.

Now she had went out into the field for the first time. It was creeping her out to be on this stealth mission. Plus it was so sad to see how destroyed Gideon was about the death of his college sweetheart, Sarah. Penelope had shivers racing up and down her spine. She prayed that the team would catch the unsub soon so she could get home and feel safe again.

That was until Morgan came rushing into the room at the museum where her and Gideon were holed up. With large, quick steps he was across the room in an instant, pulling her to her feet and hugging her close as if he was grateful she was alive. Suddenly she couldn't feel more safe and protected.

"Baby girl," he whispered against her hair.

Pulling back she asked "Did something else happen? Is Jane dead?" That was the women that their unsub believed himself to be in love with and was searching for by any and all means necessary: which meant, to him, murdering everyone who he came across to try and force the team to do his dirty work for him and bring his lover back to him.

"No, she's at the BAU." Derek moved back from her and raked his hand over his head.

"So why are you here? Are we in danger?"

Gideon was at the table, reading over his files, when he muttered "Frank won't kill me. He wants to use me. He's not done with me yet."

Derek hugged Penelope again. "You're fine. Don't worry. You're safe, baby girl. I got you."

She clung to him but it was more for him then out of fear for herself. She felt creeped out by the events of tonight but she once she was inside the museum she felt safe enough. Now before that...alone in her car....she had worried that she could be murdered at any moment.

Field work was definitely not for her.

When the case was over Derek met with Hotch in his office. Hotch said "What you did-"

"I'd do it all over again, given the chance, and not think twice about it."

"One of our own was in trouble and you walked away."

"No! I went where I needed to go and if you don't get that-"

"I get that you believe you had to do that but I believe you overreacted. You have to learn to better control your impulses to be Garcia's hero."

"I ain't got any interest in doing that. Whenever she needs me I'm gonna be there. This job is just a job. I would give my life for anyone on this team. But I will give up my life, this job and anything else I got for her safety. And if you ever put her in harm's way again we won't be cool. Man, she does not have the training to be out in the field! You know that! You wanted to help Gideon so much you didn't care if she was in danger!"

"She wasn't in danger. Frank's action prove me right."

"And what if you didn't profile him right? What then?"

"But I did, Morgan, and because of that I had no problem asking Garcia to help out this team in the way we needed most. I won't second guess myself for you. I have to be able to run this team on my instincts and not yours."

"And I have to know she's safe or I can't work."

"I do understand that. I'm sorry if you feel I compromised her safety but that was never my intention. I do appreciate Garcia and what she adds to our team."

A long pause. "I didn't overreact. You saw Sarah. If he caught up to Gideon and managed to overpower him then what happened to Sarah would have happened to Garcia."

"Its over. Lets leave it in the past. Just keep in mind that I will not stand for you disobeying my direct orders. I can't have that from anyone on this team."

"Hotch, I don't want to disrespect you but I acted on instinct. All I could see in my head was Sarah laying there cut to pieces. I couldn't let that be Garcia."

Another pause. "You do know these kind of situations are why there are frat rules, right?"

"This isn't about that."

Hotch simply nodded at Derek. Derek walked out with his boss' words on his mind.

"So, baby girl, heard you had a hot date the other night?"

"JJ has such a big mouth."

"Was he a 10?"

"Maybe not a ten but a definite 9.5."

"Poor guy."

She laughed. "Just cause you're a ten you don't gotta be cocky about it."

"I'm not cocky, princess. I'm confident."

Penelope gave Derek a soft smile and he smiled back. Yeah, he would do it all over again. Not change a thing. He'd do anything to keep her safe.

(She carries on without a doubt.

I wonder if she's figured out

I'm crazy for this girl.

Yeah, I'm crazy for this girl.) (Evan and Joran)
