Unbreak My Heart-Ch 29
As the next few weeks passed by Fran and the girls had a good time with Derek and Penelope and they had discussed renting a house in Virginia, they wanted to be as close to Derek and Penelope as possible. Fran had been watching Derek and Penelope when they were together and she had no doubt that her son was getting ready to pop the big question and propose to his baby girl".
She was currently standing and looking out at the back yard and watching Clooney running around and playing, Clooney was Dereks dog, he got Clooney several years ago and he had quickly became a memeber of the family. Derek walked up to his mom and leaned in and said, "momma can you help me with something"?, she turned around and said, "sure honey".
He looked over his shoulder and saw that they were alone and he said, "can you go with me to pick out an engagement ring"?, she smiled and said, "I would love to go with you baby boy". Penelope walked into the room and said, "I'm going to fix some coffee would either of you like a cup"?, Derek said, "momma and I are getting ready to head out for a while sweetness".
Fran said, "gonna do a little shopping, pick up a few things but we'll be back soon", Penelope grinned and said, "have fun", Derek walked over and kissed her on the cheek and said, "we'll be back soon goddess". She laughed and said, "please be careful", he winked at her and said, "always", she sighed happily and watched as Derek and Fran walked toward the door.
A few minutes later Derek and his mom walked into the jewerly store and headed toward the counter, the salesperson smiled as she walked over and said, "how may I help you today"?, Derek said, "I need to see some engagement rings please". The woman opened the drawer and pulled out some engagement rings and said, "if you don't see anything her you like I have more".
Derek and Fran scanned the rings and then Derek picked one up and said, "what do you think about this one momma"?, she smiled and said, "it's unique like her, she'll love it". Derek said, "it's beautiful just like her", he then looked at the sales lady and said, "I'll take it", she said, "would you like it wrapped"?, he shook his head and said, "no thank you".
She put the ring into a box and started to hand it to Derek when the door flew open and several huge, armed men walked through the door, Derek instinctually put his mother behind him for protection. One of the men said, "if you do what you're told nobody will get hurt", Derek said, "what do you want"?, the man walked closer to him and said, "we want her" and he pointed at the sales lady.
He shook his head and said, "you can't have her", he laughed and said, "and what are you going to do to stop it?, Derek said, "take one more step closer to her and find out". Fran put her hand on her sons arm and said, "easy son", the man looked at him and said, "listen to your mother and maybe just maybe you'll live through this".
Derek then stood and watched as the man walked back over to rejoin the others he then heard him say, "we've been doing this for several months and have 9 women and we need her to fill the contract". Derek looked at his mom and said, "I think they are human trafficers, they want to take this girl and sell her with the others into some kind of slavery ring".
The leader smiled at him and said, "very good, are you some kind of cop"?, Derek shook his head and said, "not exactly", the man opened his mouth to ask what that meant when the door flew open and several people walked in and one of them said, "FBI FREEZE". The man grabbed Derek and quickly put his gun to his side and said,
"if you move he dies".
Derek felt the gun digging into his ribs and he knew that he had to do something but he didn't know what, he then watched as the agents spread out so that they could surround the gunman. He waited for the gun in his ribs to pull away before he made his move, he popped his head back busting the man in the nose, blood squirted all over the ground and Derek quickly pushed the man to the ground allowing the FBI to quickly take charge of the scene.
When the men were under control 3 agents walked over and one held out his hand and said, "thank you for the assist", Derek smiled and said, "any time", the man said,
"the names Aaron Hotchner and this is SSA Emily Hotchner and David Rossi". Derek took a deep breath and said, "the names Morgan, Derek Morgan", Aaron said, "how would you like to come work for me"?, Derek quickly smiled and nodded his head yes as he stood there listening to the amazing job offer Aaron Hotchner was offering.
