Desires-Ch 30

The days flew by and soon her team of crimefighters had been gone almost 3 weeks, she couldn't believe that the unsub was still able to get away with what he was doing and right under the teams nose. She couldn't believe that she had been married to her hotstuff for almost 2 months and since they had come home from their honeymoon/vacation she had only got to spend 1 night with him.

She took a deep breath as she stood up and headed to the lounge to get her some tea, she hadn't been drinking coffee for the past few days because she had been fighting the stomach flu. She looked up as she stirred her tea and saw her friend Sally come into the room, Penelope said, "I've missed you girl, are you feeling better"?, Sally said, "I was so sick girl, this stomach flu was the worst I've ever seen".

Penelope said, "I hear ya girlie, I'm fighting it off myself" as she picked up her mug and took a sip of her tea, Sally grabbed a cup of coffee and said, "just remember to keep yourself hydrated Penelope, that is the main thing". Penelope nodded her head and said, "thanks Sally" as she turned and headed back out toward her lair.

Derek looked up at the ME and said, "was there any signs of rape"?, he said, "yes, she was raped and sodomized", Reid said, "can you tell with what"?, he said,
"there was definitley some tearing and I was able to get some metal shavings so maybe a small pipe". Derek said, "did you see that in any of the others"?, he nodded his head and said, "all but 2 I believe".

They nodded their heads and thanked him before walking out of the morgue, once they got outside Derek said, "whats on your mind kid"?, he said, "somethings off about this but I can't put my finger on it". Derek put his hand on Reids shoulder and said, "you'll figure it out pretty boy, you always do", Reid grinned as he climbed into the SUV.

Derek pulled his cell of his belt and dialed his baby girl, after a few rings he heard, "hello handsome husband of mine", he said, "well hello my gorgeous goddess of a wife". Penelope said, "pleaseeeeeee tell me that you have caught this freak", he said, "I wish I could baby but unfortunately we have another body", she said, "when did you find this one"?, he said, "we were notified about 30 minutes ago".

She said, "how were you notified"?, he said, "we got a call at the station", she said, "do you remember which phone"?, he said, "the one that is in the conference room". She let her fingers do the walking and a few minutes later she said, "the call that came through came from a pay phone on the corner of Watkins Avenue and Beumont".

Derek said, "wait a minute didn't we talk to one of the victims husbands somewhere around there"?, she said, "yes you did my love, you talked to Jeb Turner when his wife was found". Reid said, "Garcia what was her name again"?, she said, "that would be Charlotte Turner and she was one of the two that wasn't raped if that helps my heap of gray matter".

Reid looked at Derek and they said in unison, "he's our unsub", Penelope grinned and said, "call me if you need me", Derek said, "we will goddess, love ya", she said, "be careful my love and I love you to handsome" as the call ended. A few hours later when the phone ran she smiled hoping that her family was heading home to her but it was Hotch letting her know that they were heading to Louisana for another case.

She blew out a deep breath as Hotch gave her names of the victims, she said, "I'll hit ya back when I can bossman Garcie out", after the call ended she picked up her cup and took the last sip of tea. She then let her fingers fly across the keys as she started looking into the lives of the 5 names that her fearless leader had just given her.

Derek laid his head back against the seat and said, "I need to see my wife, to hold her, to kiss her", Reid said, "TMI Morgan", he laughed and said, "it's easy for you pretty boy because you get to sleep with your wife everynight while mine is back in Virginia". He said, "I'm sure that she misses you just as much as you miss her".

He blew out a deep breath and said, "I hope we find this freak soon so I can get home to my bride", little did he know that it would be several weeks before he would be seeing her again. Finally the team stepped off the elevator and Hotch said, "alright guys lets get this paperwork taken care of and get out of here and take advantage of Erins week off", they all nodded their heads in agreement as they headed to their desks.

Derek said, "I'm going to go see my wife, I'll be back" and they watched as he disappeared around the corner, the closer he was getting to Penelopes lair the faster he was walking. When he opened her door he said, "I'm ho" and then he saw his wife unconscious on the floor, he ran over and checked for a pulse and said,
"sweetness, sweetness, wake up for me" before screaming "HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP".
